A few MM themes for Redrum
DISCLAIMER!!!
The MM themes below worked for me and several others following proper use of the Metamorph theme application. You must be rooted in order to use it, which obviously you will be if you are using a custom ROM such as Redrum.
I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if you mess up your phone by trying/applying these themes. I will gladly assist you if you run into any difficulties during the process. But always remember to backup your current ROM before trying anything with which you are not familiar. Use at your own risk!
With that being said.......
If Metamoprh can not properly extract the downloaded .zip files, you will have to extract the file on your computer and place the folder onto your SD card in /AndroidThemes
Not sure why this is, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I find extracting on my computer and moving to the SD card right away avoids having to try it twice.
Additionally, if when applying MM's to the framework-res.apk (for the pulldown themes) MM just sits there and shows "Applying theme" and seems to be taking forever, you MAY need to enable debugging mode in settings. MENU-->APPLICATIONS-->DEVELOPEMENT--> Check USB Debugging...then retry the MM file!
Enjoy!
MARKET ICON:
Here is a small preview of the icon:

NOTIFICATION TRAY PULL-DOWN BACKGROUND:
This is a MM theme for the background of the pull-down tray.
The main part of the background is a semi-transparent black color.
Bottom-right, you will notice the TEAM CHAOS logo. It's not an official logo, rather something I made to my likings.
Preview:

Link:
TCpulldown.zip
NOTE:
After applying this theme, MM should ask you to reboot.
Go ahead and reboot your phone for the change to take place.
Upon loading the homescreen, you may notice that your wallpaper has been changed to a live wallpaper (probably the neural network LWP)
I have no clue why this happens, but nothing else is modified on the phone so it should be safe.
It has something to do with modifying the framework-res.apk in /system/app
Simply put your old wallpaper back on and you're all set.

.XML Metamorph versions only!!! (NEW)
WILL NOT WORK ON DARK EDGE THEMED PHONES! (at least mine didn't work)
Preview is just the file being replaced on the phone. It's not an actual screen capture from the phone, but is representative of what it will look like.
Again, I suggest extracting on your PC first, then transferring to the /Androidthemes folder on your sd card.
NOTE: The pictures below look like they are grey (background), but actually are semi-transparent black. So it will look the same as the pictures above when on your phone!
