[MarcusHH]

I am looking for LCARS.

Do you have one or a links?

Thank u :)

Hehe,

I did get tired of the default sounds and added LCARS sounds from here:

http://www.lcarscom.net/sounds.htm


Got tired of those too and turned off the sounds....

I might try tinkering with a soundtheme again soon. The sounds should be so discreet and low volume that one feels that the sounds comes from the tapping on the screen or from electrons wooshing through the processor

I've been threatening to write one for some time. I'll start work on it, now that i know there's another geek in the Nokia fanbase. ; ) I'll post when it's done.

I too thought the Nokia 770 seemed like an obvious candidate for a Star Trek theme, and so I made one. It's not done yet, but it's coming along. Here's the project page which includes a download link:
LCARS PADD for Nokia 770 (http://synthesize.us/LCARS_PADD)

Enjoy!

i love the theme
but dark orange on black is too hard to see (especially using meamo mapper)
could there be another version released that has lighter more readable text color?
for those of us that are cli challenged, it would be great.

[ian_ryge]

A new version is out, with brighter text as requested. I just had to figure out how to edit the gtkrc file to define colors for specific elements, rather than larger categories.

Hi ian_ryge!

Great work on the LCARS theme!

Absolutely stunning theme!

I'll consider adding support for audio to the next release.

Do you have any other suggestions / needs?

[ian_ryge]

Glad you like the theme, konttori! It wouldn't have happened without ThemeMaker. :)

Thanks for asking! These are probably the kinds of things you're already planning, but it would be great if you could eventually add support for the statusbar icons, and expand on the source image. Audio would be nice too, since there isn't yet a standardized way to package replacement sound sets.

Many thanks for all your work; you've made Maemo theme-creation feasible.

[konttori]

Hmm... statusbar icons I've been thinking about myself as well. I'll add them probably pretty quickly. Well, at least some of them. So, for the next release there will be:
- changeable title font size.
- status bar icons
- maybe some audio support
- Support to change height of status bar and width of the left and right borders

Hello
Anyone annoyed by orange/black LCARS logo on white background while booting?

I've fixed it by altering one string in /etc/rc2.d/S12fb-progress.sh

# don't show progress bar if device started to ACTDEAD first
BOOTREASON=`cat /proc/bootreason`
if [ "x$BOOTREASON" != "xcharger" \
-a ! -f /tmp/skip-fb-progress.tmp ]; then
echo "Starting: fb-progress"
fb-progress -c -b 000000 -l $IMGDIR/$LOGO -g $IMGDIR/$BAR $SECS &
echo "$!" > $PIDFILE
chmod 666 $PIDFILE


Changes in bold:
fb-progress -c -b 000000 -l $IMGDIR/$LOGO -g $IMGDIR/$BAR $SECS &

Also it would be cool to alter nokia_hands graphics, but I don't have proper picture yet.

does anyone have a working link to LCARS?

I recommend the bridge theme. The PADD theme is visually painful. Both are on this page:
