Since I didn't saw thread similar to this, and since there's some theme workarounds and things for Harmattan, I've decided to start one.
Here's how my phone look alike.
I use HomeScreen Settings app, and I've modified statusarea.css and constants.ini in /usr/share/themes/
so, here it is:

(file posted on deviantArt)

wallpaper: tears of life

/*edit:
by moding files of sysuid improperly you may get your device in reboot loop without possibility of getting it back to life without reflash
you have been warned*/

tuts:
statusbar:
by editing /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/sysuid/style/statusarea.css
Code:
MWidgetStyle#StatusBarLandscapeWidget {
    background-image: "status-landscape";
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
}

MWidgetStyle#StatusBarPortraitWidget {
    background-image: "status-portrait";
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
}
modified line is "background-image:" path of file is in /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/images/
file is Png 16bit i assume.
if anything broken, you will probably have red background for statusbar or your device will be in reboot loop
be aware what you are doing.
portrait size: 480x36
landscape size: 854x36


app backgrounds:
modification of /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/constants.ini (or /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/proto/constants.ini for pr1.0 if i am correct.)
Code:
COLOR_FOREGROUND            = #282828 ;text color
COLOR_SECONDARY_FOREGROUND  = #505050 ;secondary text
COLOR_BACKGROUND            = #E0E1E2 ;background
BACKGROUND_PORTRAIT         = "bg_portrait";
BACKGROUND_LANDSCAPE        = "bg_landscape";
;BACKGROUND_PORTRAIT         = none;
;BACKGROUND_LANDSCAPE        = none;

; button and other pressable elements *might* have different style
COLOR_BUTTON_FOREGROUND            = #000000 ;text color
COLOR_BUTTON_SECONDARY_FOREGROUND  = #8c8c8c ;secondary text
COLOR_BUTTON_DISABLED_FOREGROUND   = #BFBFBF ;disabled text
COLOR_BUTTON_BACKGROUND            = #000000 ;background

;reversed elements
COLOR_INVERTED_FOREGROUND           = #ffffff ;text color
COLOR_INVERTED_SECONDARY_FOREGROUND = #C8C8C8 ;secondary text
COLOR_INVERTED_BACKGROUND           = #000000 ;background
BACKGROUND_INVERTED_PORTRAIT        = "bg_portrait_inv";
BACKGROUND_INVERTED_LANDSCAPE       = "bg_landscape_inv";
;BACKGROUND_INVERTED_PORTRAIT        = none;
;BACKGROUND_INVERTED_LANDSCAPE       = none;
modifications under: BACKGROUND_PORTRAIT, BACKGROUND_LANDSCAPE, BACKGROUND_INVERTED_PORTRAIT and BACKGROUND_INVERTED_LANDSCAPE
bg_portrait, bg_landscape, bg_portrait_inv and bg_landscape_inv are Jpg files located in /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/images/backgrounds/ and i assume this may cause reboot loop too.
portrait size: 480x854
landscape size: 854x480
original tutorial can be found here, this is my rewrite and i assume some options can be changed too depending to PR version.

Hey what modifications to StatusArea.css and the constants.ini file did you make, just out of curiosity?

Your statusbar got an android feel

Is that a scorpio sign in the middle of the stausbar?

Where did you change the background pic from black to that wave thing?

looks good wook_sf and it's a good initiative with this thread though I don't see it getting as creative as the one for the N900. Well lets see what this brings, hopefully some nice ideas

I just flashed mine with PR1.3 so mine is pretty basic at the moment

Regards Dousan...

Is there any way to have the background transparent when viewing the contents of a folder? The solid black just feels a bit plain.

thanks folks well, statusbar is moded by guide from here: http://www.meegoexperts.com/2011/08/...tion-branding/
background moded by same guide but important thing to say is it's not in /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/proto/constants.ini as mentioned there but in /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/constants.ini
dousan, i've seen somewhere that you just flashed to 1.3 (i am still on 1.2 :P) and statusbar have vista touch + it's not scorpio, it's "kv" with gothic font
