with how their DroidX is themed?

I'll make my UI/theme all slick.. then a day later I get bored with it, and re-do it completely.. Am I the only one?

I got mine how I like it. Took some time and work. With Flyx added a black notification bar, black keyboard, black media gallery. Looks nice all blacked out :)

Ok I have been holding off from rooting and trying the roms out there because I am new to the Android game but the black top bar and keyboard looks good, is it only possible to get those rooted with custom roms?
Yes u will need root to access the files to change them. I use Flyx as my rom. Its very plain with just bloat removed and is ready to be themed.

i think that requires root..

I haven't heavily customized my device, just wallpapers, widgets, livewallpapers.. so many choices.

My big thing is constantly changing wallpapers to whatever fits my mood at the re
I also tend to change icons around on different screens in a never ending search for what's most efficient. I haven't rooted or themed my phone as I haven't felt the need yet.

you need root access and the custom recovery (bootstrap) to load themes.

you don't need to load a special rom, but the one your'e running MUST be deodexed.

and you have to be on 2.2 for most of the themes.

I'll have to agree...I get kind of bored, too, but being new to the X, I don't want to mess things up by doing something like rooting just to have more choices for wallpaper and such. I have noticed that when I do find a nice wallpaper, and download it to the phone in the size it's supposed to be, that when I right click it and save to wallpaper, it comes out looking different (size-wise) on the home screen.

are you expanding the orange box to fill the whole wallpaper?
