I was really hating the look of the dialer from Gingerbread on BACKside IHO. I liked the Froyo one a lot better. And ultimately, I'm going to see if I can make it happen, and I think I can. What I just did, and I don't know if this is like old hat to the pros around here or not, but being a newb of sorts, I'm pretty proud of myself. Here's what I did.

[Morphs] Theme Chooser Add-ons: Lockscreens, Dialers, Boot Animations, Wallpapers
It's on a Verizon Droid forum, but I'm pretty sure it's theme stuff for CM7, so I figured what the hey.
I downloaded the "Minimal" dialer. Put it on my SD card. I downloaded zipthemer from the market.
Ran zipthemer, loaded up the .zip file that I downloaded from that site, clicked Build It, on zipthemer, and it created a flashable update .zip file, but it didn't work. scripting error. So I thought, must be that Edify mumbo jumbo, or something like that.
So in zipthemer, sure enough, if you hit the menu button, there is an Update Edify button. What you need to do is direct it to a ROM that has the newer Edify scripting. I used Harmonia 1.6. But you can use BACKside too I'm sure. Then I hit configure, and it updated the scripting. Then when I hit Build It, it created a flashable zip that worked. Flashed, and booted (after making a backup), and sure enough I had my new dialer. It was grey, but sharp looking, better than before.
But I didn't like the highlighted state of the button, it was just slightly lighter than the unpressed state. So I thought, what if the highlighted/pressed state was another color, to make it stand out more.
So from the link above, I downloaded the Green one too. And I renamed the green unpressed graphics and replaced the pressed minimal graphics, then zipped it back up. And did the same as above (you need to update the Edify every time you create a flashable zip in zip themer. And it worked. I now have a grey/minimal button style, that highlights in green when you press a button. I love it.
This is my actual screenshot...
