[Release] D-THEME -serie

[d-iivil]

Hello!

I've been working on with new serie of themes called "D-THEME".

Three of them should be now available at extras-devel repository and I shall later promote them into testing if no bugs are found.

These should all be on extras-testing repository.

Please test and report any found bugs here.

If you have tested one of the themes (or more) and you think it's ready for extras, please go here and cast your vote:

nice themes there ;) especially the gold one :P

[der_ronny]

Hi,

I like this Theme very much.
TwoOne thing I would like to propose:


1. please install to /home/opt, 10MB in root is very much
1. you could maybe change the apparance of the 'close' button, it looks a bit unaesthetic (-;

thank you

I was thinking of finetuning all the top bar buttons a bit to make them more clear and "readable". So this is kind of on to-do -list already :)

Themes are optified, only few files are left on rootfs (200-400kb total).

[Grant]

Very nice! I've tried out the black and blue ones today, and I like both. The series of tiny dots that act as the border between menu list items looks a little strange though and does't mesh well to me. Also, anything you can do to further distinguish each version from the other two can only be an improvement I would think (theme color matched icon/keyboard presses and menu highlights, instead of just gray across all three versions, etc). Just some constructive criticism from a fan :).

yeah, just some mistake, couldn't believe extras-devel repository takes 15MB

[jakiman]

Great themes as always. I like the outlines in different colors.
I'll definitely be using the black and the blue one. =)

Just one thing, I would like different icons for the task switcher/close buttons etc to the livil steel themes. It would deifnitely make it look more different and unique. (Have you tried the Array theme by joppu? Quite unique)

Yeah, I've already drawn the buttons in my head. Now I just need to do the same on photoshop :)

I haven't tried Array, but I will do it soon.

[maxximuscool]

are there any custome icons in the work?

[SR90]

D-Iivil , you are my HERO , Thanks alot for all your great themes :)

[maxximuscool]

D-theme Blue took 1MB of my rootfs space. Can you optifying it to take less than this? every MB is precious amount in the rootfs

[d-iivil]

D-theme Blue took 1MB of my rootfs space. Can you optifying it to take less than this? every MB is precious amount in the rootfs

Please do a reboot or run this in terminal:
sudo gainroot
apt-get clean

It should only take about 0,3MB of rootfs. I'm still waiting for the fix for maemo-optify bug. It's something that I cannot fix.

I won't make include custom icons since I think it's better to follow "standard" with those and keep the original look and feel with those.

New close / switch buttons are turning out to be quite nice, I'm testing them as we speak.
And btw, these themes are mostly drawn with N900 (remotely connected to my PC and running photoshop over the internet).

[d-iivil]

New buttons and stuff is now done and packages are uploaded to extras-devel. Screenshots in the opening post are also updated. Feedback please :)

I did but still saying 50.4MB even after reboot. used to be 51.4MB lol, so where is my 1MB gone after the installation?

I'm going to try uninstall it and see how much i got after reboot to confirm how much it took in my rootfs

[maxximuscool]

I think the theme is great but you should you don't want to make custom icons? Seriously the icons on the standard N900 really is boring because every themes using it. Something different will make your theme standout more :D and could you convert the Win7 Background to your background? I think the fish looks nice on the N900.

Removed the Theme blue and reboot and i got 51.8MB free, installed the Theme Blue and reboot I got 50.9MB free so there is certainly 0.9MB consume by the theme files

Actually I want to keep the icons on app manager standardized (default) 'coz I think it's too confusing if the icons changes every time you change a theme. But this is just a personal opinion of mine :)

Please report the outcome of uninstalling the theme.
Partly-optified themes -bug is indeed very annoying and it touches also other themes around here such as maemo.org & marina.

And about Win7 backgrounds; I'm not going to use copyrighted graphics such as Windows's preinstalled wallpapers. Feel free to crop them to your needs by yourself :)

If I take a look at the non-optified files with that theme I get following amount of files left under /usr/share/themes -folder.
D-THEME Blue: 0,37MB
D-THEME Black: 0,36MB
D-Theme Gold: 0,37MB

I don't know where the rest is coming and as I said before, I have no glue how to fix the optifying bug related probably to maemo-optify -function which is completely written by someone else.
Sorry :-/

This seem like a nasty bug that eating all of our freedom in rootfs.

[maxximuscool]

can't you move the non-opt file to another folder in the 2G apps section? and create a short cut to call it instead, this would save quite a good size space

[maxximuscool]

woohoo after uninstalled Maemo.org theme i got 52.5MB left over that seem to be the problem with my root space as well. Are all your themes having this issues? the army theme and stuff

[d-iivil]

It's the same issue with pretty much all themes released here which are made using this method:
http://tabletui.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/theming-for-dummies/

I don't have enough knowledge on how to change behaviour of maemo-optify "tool" which is used for optification on that method.

Source of d-theme-black is available here if someone wants to take a look how it's built up:
http://maemo.org/packages/source/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_source/d-theme-black/1.0.0.1/

Your army steel theme seem to behave okay. It took only 100kb in my rootfs. But the new one you've made took so much more.

Yeah. There's no logic on which files are left unoptified by maemo-optify.

[maxximuscool]

Yeah. There's no logic on which files are left unoptified by maemo-optify.

I really hope you can fix it though. I'll download your source black theme and may be try to get something out of it and make a new one :D

[d-iivil]

Updated again with new backgrounds for homescreen.

[Grant]

Been trying the updated black and blue versions today and like the improvements! I haven't tried a lot of the other themes that are out, but up to this point I've considered the MER/M5 Blue theme to be the benchmark against which I compare other themes, because it is complete, everything meshes together well, and it looks clean and professional. Your D-SERIES themes are of the same quality in my opinion, with the blue version challenging the MER/M5 theme for the title of "best blue theme for n900". Some thoughts:
-new backgrounds with the bar at the top = awesome and creative use of what would otherwise be blank space!
-new list separator = much better than the dots
-new top menu buttons = great! though the highlight for the close button has that creative shape you've made, even though the close button is always rectangular, so it kind of looks off.
-unlock screen and slider = very nice, I like the big slider button

possible improvements:
-would still like to see version-specific color highlights, alternate text, and button presses. All the grays look like they go well with black version, but what about the other two versions? For the blue version, icon presses, menu button presses, and menu selections would look better in theme-matching blue, as would the several areas that use two different kinds of text (menus, playlists, conversations inbox view, etc). White primary text with blue secondary text in these areas would look better I think.
-The colors in individual conversations could use some attention. Somewhat difficult to read the names, as its dark gray text on dark gray background. I'll refer to the MER/M5 Conversations color scheme here; with its blue names and dates, it looks nice and is easy to read.
-icing on the cake would be theme specific shades on the virtual keyboards. Your keyboards look very nice, though would be even better if they matched their theme version.

[der_ronny]

maybe I can give you a suggestion for close button?

and pressed:

http://imagebin.ca/img/SbohtYF5.png

Just an idea...

[DaKing]

these themes looks not transperent right i mean the icons r not like dark sky or original nokia themes or r they ?

[PipoXtreme]

@D-livil

Great work... thanks.. but 1 "little bug" I`ve found as well.

When I install a software and then the message of install done come up... this message background don`t fit to the theme colours.
I`ve the blue theme. Maybe you can change this backgrount of the message line as well to a brighter blue or something like that...;)
( at the moment its white or a little bit of yellow included )

Sorry for the short critic ! ;)

[d-iivil]

possible improvements:


Thanks for the improvement suggestions! Below are my comments.

-would still like to see version-specific color highlights, alternate text, and button presses. All the grays look like they go well with black version, but what about the other two versions? For the blue version, icon presses, menu button presses, and menu selections would look better in theme-matching blue, as would the several areas that use two different kinds of text (menus, playlists, conversations inbox view, etc). White primary text with blue secondary text in these areas would look better I think.

Ookay.. there are different text colors for different themes, maybe you forgot to reboot after selecting theme in order to hildon-desktop-engine to load new font color values for secondary and active texts?

List item highligh-color is going to be changed to match the theme's color scheme.

-The colors in individual conversations could use some attention. Somewhat difficult to read the names, as its dark gray text on dark gray background. I'll refer to the MER/M5 Conversations color scheme here; with its blue names and dates, it looks nice and is easy to read.

Conversation window has greys on names and I think it's cool to keep them grey. What brightness level are you using if you can't read the names? I'm using 4/5 and I think it's readable enough since the names aren't the "point" on the conversation window. I want to make the conversation text to stand out compared to the name. Color "matching" to the theme is done with the border color of the conversation bubbles.

-icing on the cake would be theme specific shades on the virtual keyboards. Your keyboards look very nice, though would be even better if they matched their theme version

I'm gonna do this when I have time. This is on the to-do list :)

@PipoXtreme:
Message pop-ups are yellow because I wan't them to be stand out from the basic color scheme. Yellow is also the "default" notification color so I though it would be a good idea to keep that color.

@DaKing:
Didn't understand the "question". You want more transparency or what?

@der_ronny:
The whole point of my icons is that they are rounded. That's the style I have had in my mind since the first theme I've ever made and I'm afraid I won't change that. Nice suggestion though :)

Okay, these are now all covered up. Made all the improvements you suggested and new versions should be in devel-repo soon. Let me know what you think :)

A+++!! Thanks for considering my suggestions. The changes look great and made each theme that much more unique. No more comments from me, these are perfect as far as I can tell. Great work!

No need to thank :) It was you who spotted those things and they were easy to fix. I think I'm still gonna do a small tweak to conversation name-colors. Opposite's name color is too close the message text color and makes it hard to quickly read just the message. List item highlighting is also a bit too bright compared to rest of the theme.

[Grant]

Well, since you're talking about some more color tweaks, I've noticed that the app mgr/clock/media player backgrounds are brighter than the desktop background. Wasn't sure if that was intentional.

[kurtfhouse]

I just wanted to say thanks for these, absolutely love them:D

[DaKing]

yes more transparency and effects to the media player widgit and icons especially ( like the one's on the original blue nokia theme ) is that possible?

[gstman]

Great and Unique theme design. Love your attention to detail with faint dark gradient on the bookmark desktops widget.

Excellent theme.. thanks!!!

[Tinnet]

Wow this is truly a work of art, im speechless hehe.
Thanks alot :)

[Grant]

What do you think about this change to the top bar?

[maxximuscool]

What do you think about this change to the top bar?

Why using the mesh? Can't you just use something else like transparency glass like on Win7 glass?

I think it would fit much better.

[Grant]

Why using the mesh? Can't you just use something else like transparency glass like on Win7 glass?

I think it would fit much better.

I didn't add the mesh, just hollowed out the circles that were already there to see how it looked. Transparent glass sounds like a totally different look.

[sorodoros]

Might be more consistent though with the theme. Could you post a screenshot for comparison?

[d-iivil]

mesh vs glass = matter of personal opinion = no one is right :D

[d-iivil]

Well, since you're talking about some more color tweaks, I've noticed that the app mgr/clock/media player backgrounds are brighter than the desktop background. Wasn't sure if that was intentional.
I think you're talking about blue theme? I fixed that on .0.3 -version, but for you to see the changes you have to do a trick to get around another hildon-desktop -bug:
- Select the blue theme
- go to desktop setting > background > choose some other background set to use
- close settings and open them again > background > choose the blue theme wallpaper set to use

For some reason desktop background won't refresh if you're updating the theme and you have it in use already. Even reboot won't refresh it, you really need to go and select some other wallpaper set to use and then change back. Seems like hildon is full of these mysterious bugs :P

Ok, no problem.. was just a question.. for me I preferred something like green but everyone has his own affinity! Thanks for feedback

[d-iivil]

That's something you can easily modify for your needs. Just look under the folder
/usr/share/themes/dthemeCOLOR-themedir/images
and find the files you want to modify. There's a bunch of free image editors that allows hue changing to the PNG-files. IrfanView for example.

[d-iivil]

Version 1.0.0.4 should be in the repos now. Changelog is at the opening post.

Anything else to fix or modify or should I promote these into testing?

[zoukij]

how about a red one?

[d-iivil]

how about a red one?

Red and Green is coming after I've hunt down all the bugs with these.

It's easier to update only three themes at the same time than five :-D

[zoukij]

thank you.all your themes are perfect for me.i would prefer a vivid red theme,more bright than your flame one.other than that they are perfect!

[krishna9349]

great work again. cud u put these in extra testing pls. cheers

[vintc]

@D-livil
Nice work :) thanks

[mklass]

I have an idea.. The colour of the throbber in the top left could be changed to blue.. Like it flashes yellow when I get a text or an email.. could this be made the same colour as the themes?

[Grant]

Changes in 1.0.0.4 look great. I vote to promote.

Do you mean the taskswitcher icon and want to change into blue? I still think yellow stands out more clearly and is more noticable.

Edit: promoted these now into extras-testing. Should be available there in a minute.

[Ronaldo]

Hi there, theme looks great, just want to know if it installs all on rootfs or have you optfied it for another location?

cheers

[illo1977]

Nice theme. :-)

[d-iivil]

Hi there, theme looks great, just want to know if it installs all on rootfs or have you optfied it for another location?

cheers

Each of these takes about 0,2-0,9 megs of rootfs. Rest 6-8 megs is optified.

[Ronaldo]

Thanks installing the blue one, pictures are not showing on the 1st page tho.


also i installed the blue one. when i goto email app then nokia messaging, then goto my email accounts, the "new message" button got line detail where as all others are smooth.

also the ovi bar widget looks odd missing colour the "OVI" bit.

cheers

[d-iivil]

Yep. There seems to be some sort of communication problem with some finnish dns-servers. So my server is at the moment unavailable to some viewers (server which hosts the images). Hopefully it's going to up soon.

[Ronaldo]

ah sorry i updated my last post about the button

OVI widget is going to be fixed in next release (monday I think).
That button looks different since it's not the same button as for example phone app does (there's three different buttons in maemo 5; stylus, finger and thumb). I suppose I could make it look the same but I thought it was nice to make it look a bit different from others. I shall put that on to-do list :)

Thanks for testing.

[Ronaldo]

one more thing, do you think its possible to have the original yellow notication like for text,emails etc. the current one on theme is a light yellow and looks a bit faded lol also the 6 dots would look nice if it had some blue in it, will match my signal :P

but really liking the blue theme. cheers

[DaKing]

why dont you make the media player and the icons have more transperancy like the original blue theme ? what i exactly mean that i can see the wallpaper behind them :S ... is it possible ? other than that they are a great themes :)

[d-iivil]

why dont you make the media player and the icons have more transperancy like the original blue theme ? what i exactly mean that i can see the wallpaper behind them :S ... is it possible ? other than that they are a great themes :)

They are already 60% transparent and if I make them any more transparent it will loog ugly with any other bg-image (I have think those user also who wants to use my theme with some other bg image).

Go ahead and try to change the background image into N-series and you'll see the transparency is there.

Hello!!
thanks a lot for this D-Theme, seems to be very nice and no problem occurs yet!!

once again,thanks for your job!!

[todor_tsankov]

This themes made my day! :D Thank you

[d-iivil]

Red & Green @ extras-devel

[Taomyn]

Firstly, love the theme and thanks for the hard work you've put into it.

I would like to comment on the Alarms screen though, as under the Gold version (1.0.0.5) the writing under each icon below the words "Alarms" & "World clocks" is almost unreadable on the phone itself and not much better in this screen shot:

I was requested to make a silky smooth versions of basic D-THEME so...

Two new variants uploaded also: SmoothBlue & SmoothRed :)

Anyone wants another color variant of this?

I dont see anything much of a difference in this theme apart from the background colour and maybe a cple of tweaks on the menu button icon upon looking at the screen shots.

Im going to pass on this 1!

Suit yourself, I'm not forcing you to install anything :)

(btw changes between Smooth vs. regular D-theme are: buttons, homescreen widgets, top menu bar, task manager and backgrounds).

Is it possible to include some of the mods (posted on mods page (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39565)) like icons, fonts etc in your next theme??

As far as I know changing battery etc. icons will affect to users other themes also and that's something I don't want to do.

What about something orange or even maemo.org-ish? I like the maemo.org-theme but it's somewhat unfinished and I prefer black on white text instead of orange on black.

Thanks for your passion and work on N900 themes! :-)

Maemo.org colours are coming with D-THEME Simple -variants I'm working on with.

Unfortunately it's not possible to make really white background since there are some built-in apps that have hard coded white fonts that cannot be changed (calendar for example). I really wish that Nokia would update those applications to follow theme coloring with texts also (background color is taken from theme but some fonts are white and cannot be changed).

[percy]

Unfortunately it's not possible to make really white background...

I am not sure if you did get me wrong but I wasn't speaking of white backgrounds in widgets in general.

I just wanted to mention that the maemo.org theme uses orange on black for example in normal text windows or in the address bar of the browser. That's something I do not like about the theme. And it has too much orange text with orange highlight or orange text on orange background...

That's why I am still looking for a maemo.org theme that has the normal black text on white background and that uses the color orange a bit less aggressive.

Will wait for the simple versions of D-Theme! Thanks!

This mamemo-version needs some hue-tuning, homescreen widgets look pretty ugly to me.

Yup, the simple maemo theme is not for me. Too muddy and the mix of muddy and black widgets on the desktop doesn't look consistent. I know that the mix of colors is not the themes fault...

So I am sticking with the blue smooth theme and would still suggest a maemo smooth version. Grey background and a bright orange widget style (just like the maemo.org theme).

I found a bug - I guess it's one - in the smooth theme. When deleting a mail or picture the background of the confirmation dialog doesn't look right:

How about this:
http://www.firenote.com/D-Iivil/Screenshot-20100305-214259.png

There shouldn't be any black widgets. I suppose you didn't reboot after selecting theme?

[percy]

Yes, the orange is much better and the gray widgets look better too. But even after a reboot there are black widgets. I think it is hard coded in them that's why I said it is not the themes fault. Still black are: weather forecast (with default theme), personal data plan, personal ip address, touch search and simple fmtx.


Edit: Just a suggestion for the smooth maemo theme: make the background of the buttons gray and only use orange for the highlight when they are clicked. I find the orange buttons in simple maemo too much for the eye. :) And it is kind of strange when the highlight is darker than the standard background... but maybe it is artistic freedom. ;)

[mannakiosk]

Hi!

If you find yourself short on ideas,I'd like to suggest an simpleBlackGreen theme. :)

I'm thinking black backgrounds in applications and desktop with details in two shades of green. Darker green for the thin lines and brighter in for example the buttons in the mediawidget and such...

[jakiman]

Still black are: weather forecast (with default theme), personal data plan, personal ip address, touch search and simple fmtx.


Personal Data plan, personal IP shows up just fine and based on the simple blue to simple maemo theme for me. Not black. Must be your N900. I haven't tried others you mentioned however.

Just playing around with this theme and so far I like it. Only the highlight when pressing a button seems a bit too dark.

What about a highlight that looks more like the gradient of the "Go"-button at the top beside the search field?

It seems you changed the highlight of small buttons - like in the dial pad - to a gray gradient. But what about the big buttons? Still a gradient from black to orange... or do I have to reboot?

Still would be happy to see some brighter orange hightlight on them.

Indeed, now all gradients are grey...

Have a look at the profile dialog. It would be much easier to know which profile you wanted to select if it turned orange instead of switching the gradient direction. I had to go from normal to silent and I hadn't a clue what I was selecting.

I think the D-Theme is special enough that it won't look like a copy of marina just because you use similar colors.

I must admit that I like the blue versions of D-Theme most but for my taste it is a bit too blue. That's why I am asking for a mix of black and blue. Some sort of "D-Theme AeroElegant" should come out of it.

But maybe you have your own idea of what would be an elegant version of Aero?

Yep. I can vouch for that. After trying for a week to find proper combinations I just gave up. There is a light theme in extras-testing called nuvofre that comes very close, but it has a few bugs as well where it either has white text on white background or the other way around (I can't remember).

Otherwise, thanks for the themes - they are simply the most elegant ones that I've seen for N900 anywhere.

Well if you install that you can see the same things that are impossible to get over:
- calendar event view has white text that cannot be changed into a different color => white background won't work since you cannot read the dates and times (white on white)
- top bar has white icons (wlan, battery, network indicator) that are hardly readable on white background

So what if we change just the background to dark? Let's do that, then we need to have the basic font being white so that you can read stuff from all other programs. Cool, let's do that and keep white top bar and white buttons.
But wait a minute, we need to have a dark top bar because it's good to be able to see the network strenght etc. So let's make the top bar also dark and change the font over there to white but let's keep the buttons still white. Wrong! Some button texts uses the same color that top bar font has so we cannot have even the buttons being white since the top bar has white font :-D

Case closed :-P

Your AeroBlue theme is great, because I think it's great when a relatively large amount is transparent. :D

Could you possibly change the blue on how the Nokia Nseries theme, because this is more visible in the black background.

It will only improve it so that everything can be better overall view and make no criticism of your art themes. I personally would find it with the blue from the theme Nserie chic and eventually you could even change it or create a AeroBlue II.

[d-iivil]

Thanks for testing Dr.MZ! So basically what you want is a brighter blue on some fonts? That's doable. App manager icons I'd like to keep the way they are and also the brightness indicator. I like to have it lookin same as buttons.

If there's something dramatic to fix I will change the blue at the same time.

Yes, a brighter blue would be quite an advantage. I personally like the blue of the Nokia NSeries theme very well and this is also seen great on a black background.
Otherwise, I still noticed no bugs and I hope that you when you have time to make the color changes could be.

Would have thought that it looks great. :(

And the bright blue what is the status bar in the volume bar gets displayed when one sees or selects something. In the screenshot, for example, the DUAL-BAND button. This ought to fit perfectly with the theme and also stands out better from the background.

This color would be better suited for the current selection in the brightness applet. (see red and yellow markings).

The proposial is good, I've already done the changes but I'm waiting if there's something else to fix also at the same time. I also don't want to waste my five votes which happens if I upload a new version to extras-testing. I want to have this version to extras if there's nothing more to fix and then upload a new version to extras-testing where I've done suggestions you made earlier.

Time to create some bright themes for awhile :)

Can someone suggest a theme for the weather-forecast-applet that has a more transparent background?

All widgets on my desktop are bright blue with this new theme but this applet is still dark - even after a reboot.

Thanks for the springlike theme, it fits well to the sunny weather here in Germany! :)

Edit: Ah, it seems that I confused the OMWeather widget (that supports different icon themes) with the ForecaWeather Widget (which doesn't support different themes). So I have to live with the black blob on my screen...

[SallyJane]

Love the bright blue theme, it's just right. A great summer theme, thanks D-livil :)

*edit* one request : the highlight colour seems to be a very faint orange which is difficult to distinguish from the base font. This is most noticeable in the email inbox, where it's very hard to see at a glance which emails are unread (orange).

Could you make it brighter ?

Thanks

You are the Mozart of Maemo themes. dude. :eek: Rock on.

Here's a different kind of request for a theme: a very simple theme for everyday use that bumps up all that tiny text (just a point or two)present in every app. Which tiny text? The tiny text that Nokia insists we have a really hard time seeing.

There is a thread on using terminal commands to change this, but the steps are a bit unclear, and appear to change all fonts globaly rather than only the tiny text, and too risky to test, IMO. Feel up to the challenge? :D

I shall take a look at it. There's some font size definions in the theme -files, but I'm not sure if the OS will follow them everywhere.

Hard to say since I don't yet have PR1.2 on my device. Just inside the Virtual Machine and at least there you need to reboot after changing a new theme. You also need to re-select the theme after upgrading the one you're using.

Calendar widget is not a problem, never has been since the font on that follows color rules on theme. Bigger problem is Calendar itself which has many hardcoded white texts laying around and those are not fixed in the 1.2SDK (the virtual version of N900) :(

The background on UnderConstruction is nice, gives the theme a nice physical feel. How do you think that texture or similar would look when applied to other elements like icon tiles, phone tiles, keyboard, status bar, etc? I think a theme with all physical-looking/textured elements could look very interesting.

Actually I tried to put some texture here and there, but it's kind of difficult since almost every element needs to scalable in horizontal or vertical and therefor it causes problems. Also most of the backgrounds in the OS are just plain colour instead of bitmaps.

But I'll update this with textured dashboard "icons" and dialog bars later.

New version should be in repos soon. I think I got it working pretty well with texturing buttons, dialogs etc :)

I updated the screenshots (refresh the page if they still look the same).

[Grant]

Trying out the updated UnderConstruction right now, very nice! The added textures look great. What do you think about adding a yellow border around icon tiles and widgets similar to the d-theme originals? Also, it kinda looks off how button presses are yellow and menu selections are gray, might look more consistent with all yellow highlights. Same with secodary text, some is yellow where other spots are gray. One "bug" I see is on the task switcher button (three layered circles). There are two white pixels that got in the image somehow. Also just noticed no button press highlights on the virtual keyboard. Great theme though! Got me wondering about how different textured themes might turn out, like wood or stone.

[d-iivil]

One "bug" I see is on the task switcher button (three layered circles). There are two white pixels that got in the image somehow.
Not in my device. I'll try to install the deb from the maemo-server and see if it's something that autobuilder has done (I have installed a self compiled .deb on my device).

Also just noticed no button press highlights on the virtual keyboard.
That's something to do with new PR1.2 virtual keyboard. I suppose the highlight will work fine when PR1.2 firmware (so nothing that I can fix) is out.

You're right about those half yellow highlights / gray highlights. I shall finish those later :)

[Grant]

Nvm about the two white pixels, I rebooted and they went away.

[d-iivil]

I have now uploaded a 1.0.0.4 version to extras-devel and I'll promote it to testing soon. It has now all highlights and couple of more things turned into yellow / orange.

I know there are issues with pale themes and certain font groups which remain white - but I'm just curious, what's the palest theme you could make ?

Well the lightest font that is hard coded is white. And to make that visible the lightest background can be like 30-40% of black. Hard to describe.

What I am missing in your themes is the contrast. A blue theme has always blue wallpaper, blue highlight, blue fonts... the 'under construction' theme is a nice exception from this pattern.

What about a series of mixed color themes? I think for example blue and green would mix great. The classical 'blue sky with the green gras' style.

Just a suggestion if you are running out of ideas. :D

I tend to have fetish to create pretty monochromic themes when comes to color schemes, I admit that :P

So far I decided to put stop on themming for as long as the optification "issue" is there (for some reason extras-builder won't optify ANY themes correctly that are made of with method I and many other theme makers use). That bug in maemo-optify -function causes themes to take 200-700kb of rootfs and that seems to piss off some testers and they feel they need to post that optification-issue-comment on every single theme I release :P

Is it possible to make little more lighter version of simplegray?

[jakiman]

I have 1 issue when using your theme and that is with the app called Symfonie. It's a simple folder based music player and for some reason, it doesn't display properly when used with your SimpleBlue or SimpleBlackGreen theme. (haven't tried your other themes with it yet)

As can be seen below, every second folder/file is unreadable. If I highlight it by clicking on it, then I can see as the highlight turns green with white fonts.

I'm assuming this is probably an issue with the Symfonie app itself but this issue doesn't happen with Joppu's Array theme and with default Nokia themes. (just some I tried)

So I was wondering if this is an issue with the app or the theme?

It's because some of them are already designed for PR1.2 which has a different keyboard. Nothing I can do about it because extras builder is now building only PR1.2 compatible stuff.

So you need to live with it untill PR1.2 arrives :)

Currently I'm using and loving the Bright Orange.

@ D-livil, if you're up to a couple of feature requests, I'd love to see the Bright Orange made over into a Bright Red (letterbox red !).

And a Bright Neon Green (like that unfinished green theme pizero was working on).

Thanks for considering this :)

Also, is there a way I can change the font/number colors from the orange to White or Black? Because it's hard to view with that color!!

Thanks as always!!


New variant online.

SmoothMaemo updated to PR1.2 compatible and just uploaded it into extras-devel. Should be visible in next 30mins or so.

I also renamed the theme from SmoothMaemo => SmoothWaemo since the name seemed to be issue for testers to approve it to extras repository.

Note to D-Theme Aero Blue

In the brightness control can actually see the setting very bad. Perhaps we should now choose the active selection color as with the volume control and dual boot. Please. (Marked in red)

Bloody hell! I've been going through the entire thread with increasing amazement! :eek:


And btw, these themes are mostly drawn with N900 (remotely connected to my PC and running photoshop over the internet).
Could you capture that on film somehow?
Would lóve to see that! :)


I was bored (had a day off from work today) and while the kids were taking a nap I did this:

D-THEME Futureal

DEB-file: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/d/d-theme-futureal/d-theme-futureal_1.0.0.0_all.deb
PLEASE get bored more often!
I've downloaded a few of your themes (from extras, not trying -testing or -devel just yet, give me some time :D) and this is the theme of choice for me now! Combined with this bootsplash (http://www.nokian900applications.com/new-bootsplash-for-nokia-n900/)...just...fscking...béautiful!

Just óne little thing though, is it possible to remove the separators between the two top corner buttons (multi/apps - back/close) and the rest of the top bar, or possible make those curved buttons you created a little wider so as to overlap said separators?
And maybe make the colour look a little less solid, a bit more like the rest of the top bar (er........gradient I think that's called, correct me if I'm using the wrong term though!)?
See top right corner of the screenshot to see what I mean ;)

Other than that...10/5 mate!
I just enabled the auto-secure thingy and will tell my mates and my parents too when I show them this, they are só gonna try 'n nick it :D

@ReemZ, thanks for the support mate :)

And I agree about that highlight effect on the top bar, will do something about it in the near future :)
