Here’s one of my favorite CM themes so far.  Dark Dream is a dark, glossy theme for Android.  Currently in version 1.8.1.2, this theme has been around for a little while and features a sleek, streamlined look for your phone.  If you’re into dark themes like I am this is a winner.  Here are some of its features:

The functionality of this theme begins before you even unlock your phone.  Pressing the on button reveals a screen showing the time and other information about your phone.  From this (and screens linked to it) you can see your battery level, control your music playing on your android device, and even display a message giving contact information to someone who might find your phone if you lose it.

The unlock screen is nice as well, blending in with the rest of the theme:

Also of interest are the home screens, which have hints of design based in Android 2.0:

Overall, I really like this theme.  The dark colors have a nice sheen / glossy edge to them and pop off the screen as result making for a nice UI experience.  Definitely worth a try for anyone with Cyanogen Mod.  If you want to try it, just scan the following QR code, or check the Dark Dream XDA-developers post.

First I will start with the themes running on the latest version of CM Mod, especially those easily available through the CM Updater.

One such theme is Alien Aqua.  Currently in Version 0.8, this is a bright / light theme from out of this world.  Okay–maybe it’s from this world, but you get the point.

Let’s start with the Lock Screen and Home Screen. . . . I left a lot of my notification icons up so you could get an idea of what they look like with this theme.  Note the battery, signal strength, and wireless connection strength icons.  From these two shots you can get a general feel for what this theme looks and feels like.

As a whole, the theme is light, glossy and very new-age in feel.  It’s similar to the Crystal XP icon set by the same name (see picture to the right).  The theme integrates well with the system.  Personally it’s not my thing (I’m a fan of dark themes), but it’s definitely worth a download.  You can get it through CM updater, or check out its XDA-developers thread which has detailed instructions for installation of this theme.  More screenshots below.
