I'm putting a few hours aside on Sunday to make a Gears of War theme for myself but I always had the intention of sharing it for free. I'm planning on trying to create icons using the 360 achievement images from both Gears 1 and 2. This is my first theme so we'll see how it goes, plus there's no harm in having a couple of Gears themes should DoubleSpaded decide to make one as well.
This is the image that I currently have as the wallpaper on the Home Screen (along with a cap of what it looks like on the phone). I'm currently planning on using this for the Home Screen in the theme, but am open to suggestions for images in other areas.

Just about done and am testing it in the simulator before trying it out on my phone. One thing that concerns me is that it weighs in at 1.6mb, but then does have pretty much all the icons replaced as well as 6 or so background images for various screens (portrait and landscape). Hopefully i'll post some images shortly
Have tested it in the simulator. A couple of things you'll notice in the images below is that the portrait menu displays wrong, if you have a look at the landscape menu you will see how the portrait menu should display. I'll see if this is the same once on the actual phone.
Something else i've been having difficulty with is getting things like the Application folder to display the folder icon, i'm sure it's possible as i've already seen it done in other themes.
I was also unable to change the highlight button that appears in pop-up dialogues. Changing it caused Plazmic to crash when exporting the theme.
So i've just tested the OTA link to put the theme on my phone and it seems to be working fine. All in all i'm pretty pleased with it and about ready to post the link. Not sure if I can insert images yet (seen people say something about having a minium of 10 posts first) so here goes......
Phone is just rebooting. I haven't made any changes to the fonts in the theme and am not sure if I will. If for any reason I do then i'll update the OTA
Even though I won't be making a font update, I will update once i've worked out how to get a custom folder icon in for apps, games etc etc. I'll also try and tweak the location of the 3G/GRPS (etc) location on the home screen.
