Best Themes for N900??

[numair87]

Hello mates!....Could u guys please suggest the best themes available for Nokia N900 (please ignore the ones in extras-devel).
Thanks! :)

[zvogt]

I'm a big fan of the D-Theme series (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=45418).

[navsin]

I have tried a lot of the available themes.... the best two in my opinion are the istyle black and an-DROID.

- Array theme (Simplistically stylish)
- Matrix theme (Just plain cool)
- Dark Sky (Just plain cool)
- Humanity-Ubuntu theme (if you know Ubuntu) Note: in TESTING!

Many good ones out there, the overall level of themes is quite high!

[casper27]

Humanity-Ubuntu theme is my favourite at the moment.Seems complete and has Ubuntu graphics for Application manager icons which look cool.

[numair87]

I don't like 'i-Style' themes :-P

[BLIZZARD]

maybe: ivilsteel black winter?

[cjp]

I don't like 'i-Style' themes :-P

But the question here is set the other way around: which themes do you like :)

[d-iivil]

I don't like 'i-Style' themes :-P

Good to know.
Hint: don't use 'em then and you're fine :)

[CasTTeLLo]

matrix!!! heeeee

[drsilviuro]

Carbon Theme!

[maartenmk]

D-theme! Especially the green one. the thin lines around the buttons/icons, and the shape of the upper icon bar on the desktop are really special.
The simple blue one also works well with the SMB Yoshi's Island background, for vintage Friday :)

[numair87]

hehe...yup....u guys are right :-)

[leetut]

the pre installed theme 'digital nature' is the only one ive ever used!
i still havent found a theme that beats it

[Livinmalife]

D-Theme Black and red!

EDIT: And for wallpaper the xray snes controller done by Lennard see: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=47869&highlight=xray

well worth checkin them out... also has some n900 xrays

[Davey101]

The standard Digital Nature theme is a winner!

I'm currently using the Grafitti theme for a change and it's pretty sweet. I'm less keen on some of the app icons but I guess I could get rid of them myself.

[Taigatrommel]

I like the iStyle Orange, an-DROID, Carbon and maemo.org themes. Hitech is pretty cool too.

[choubbi]

I know you said no Extras-Devel themes, but my favorite is : pip-boy-3000-theme. If you really like Fallout, you'll get over the "risk" of installing it.

[geneven]

matrix!!! heeeee

I like Live Wallpaper and Matrix. You get used to the moving background and it keeps things lively.

[HellFlyer]

Carbon and Array FTW!

Especailly Carbon , it looks so clean and stylish...only problem with virtual keyboard ( it doesn't highlight pressed keys ) but its because the theme is made for PR 1.2

[object]

So many are nice, especially all those that flood my app list, ugrrh.

For the moment Carbon is the best n900 theme ever.

[Abemelek]

a screenshot would be nice :)

Yes i agree best theme ever!!!!!!!!!

[rfa]

Reflect; nice clean and simple.

[PipBoyBSOD]

yep pipboy3000 for me... nothing cooler...

[AlMehdi]

Array or Humanity is by far the nicest. Using Humanity right now.

[Patola]

But what is the best light theme? Most themes for the N900 are dark. I like light, colorful themes to match my background (and sometimes my mood).

You could take a look at istyle light... or the ovi theme. Both are pretty nice. Also, the Black and White theme on Ovi Store is a nice variation.

[numair87]

Even D-theme futureal is good!

Array for sorrow days thought it would go well with a colorful background. And Humanity for everyday use ;)

There are no "light" themes of my knowledge.. i don't think they work well with the maemo ui.

[nathaneous]

Marina and an-Driod theme are the best in my opinion.

[Fraidoon]

i have been testing themes and one that i like alot is an-Droid theme. awesome job

[ivnvir]

I preffer simple, non multi color themes, so most of the ones I tested didn't make too much to me.

I still use the default nseries, wich is pretty cool IMO.

I would love to have something like gmail.
A good trace is to go, in your gmail, to settings/themes/choose your colors, then you'll have a nice view of the theme and its possibilities.

D-Livil and other theme makers, what about doing a gmail like color theme? Less dark, with light/clean colors? I could use the nseries as basis...

[joppu]

Too bad the some of stock N900 applications and the whole interface is hard-coded for black backgrounds so light theme with black font isn't really doable.

[Blinde]

Sadly there ain't nothing that compares default Nseries theme.

Most of these new themes have small annoying things, like bad font color, notification bar colors etc. bugs.

[Sash]

The chrome theme is looking really good to me.

[Blinde]

The chrome theme is looking really good to me.
And what theme might this be?

[SallyJane]

iStyle light
D theme futureal
Dlivil's bright orange theme

and yes, the stock Digital Nature theme is lovely, I'd love to see it in neon green, it was uploaded once but in a tar.bz format, sadly not packaged for newbies to use easily :(

[Sash]

And what theme might this be?

:o
I think the sun is getting to my head, I meant the Carbon theme by joppu.

[quipper8]

default + blank.png background

[TheBootroo]

carbon theme + humanity icons :D

[Blinde]

Where can i get humanity icons?

I wish there was a black/white theme that looks just like the default nseries theme. Just the blue parts replaced with white colored parts. Carbon has some good ideas but still it's far away from good.

[numair87]

Yea where can we find humanity icons??
yea and the default Nseries theme seems the best to me..

[Mat2k10]

Black Plastic all the way!

[eMiL]

Black Plastic all the way!

You said it! I can't believeI read thru the whole thread and no one mentioned Black Plastic until you did! With the custom transactions it makes my N900 feel faster and more smooth! It's a really amazing theme :)

[gabby131]

Hello mates!....Could u guys please suggest the best themes available for Nokia N900 (please ignore the ones in extras-devel).
Thanks! :)

i have array, carbon, blue-sky, marina and black-plastic themes.

i switch themes most likely every week or when i reboot my device. sometimes i mix 3 themes in one (activate one theme, use background and transitions of another theme)

[Fumanchu]

Digital nature
Array
Graffiti

Will check out black plastic :)

[Patroclo]

I liked very much: maemo theme, but it was never updated for 1.2. I like very much nuvofre because is simple and elegant.
At present I am using digital nature with some nudes by Modigliani as wallpapers.

[SR90]

Array,Carbon,most of D-livil themes specially black plastic themes :)

[4n77r4xX]

black plastic =]

[se7en2008]

How about Okuda ?

[rhastdan]

i like Under Construction theme.

[n900maniac]

Black Plastic Theme, Carbon theme, Reflect theme, and also install Theme Customizer.

[Carlito]

Miku theme!! He's king!

[philh]

I usually use only Pleego and Pleego remix with custom wallpapers, clean stylish and easy on eyes.

Though it has already mentioned twice above but I also vote for Reflect

The maintainer of Reflect is still actively updating this theme. However the downsize is that the latest caused the MSN message in telepathy-msn-pecan totally unreadable, I'll have to use the theme-customizer to change the color of the default font to anything other than white.

Say what? A screenshot would be nice too.

[9000]

Sure.

First shot: Before using Reflect (was Blue-sky)
Second shot: After applying Reflect (telepathy-msn-pecan)
Third shot: SMS is readable.

Thank you for your help.

[joppu]

Hmmm, that's the old version which should have been wiped a while ago from extras. I suggest you to remove it and use the another package.

[Tedri Mark]

How about Okuda ?
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm95/snsd2008/Screenshot-20101225-113117.png

I've been using okuda now for ages, and I think it's probably respoinsible for a lot of the 'what phone is that?' questions..

I pull it straight from extras after apt-get update with apt-get install reflect (Actually I just reflashed a couple of days ago). Here is my source list:


cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free


The package I got is pool/fremantle-1.3/free/r/reflect/reflect_0.74-1_all.deb


Thanks.

[joppu]

Use the package reflect-theme. the package reflect is deprecated and should have been deleted already.
