Since Kroll is self-admittedly busy I'd hate for this gorgeous OS2008 theme to go by without getting the attention it deserves so....
Check out the Diablo5 Theme !

Until this theme has been tested a bit more it is considered an ALPHA release and also kept out of even Extras-Devel.

Note: It's recommended that you use the Diablo5 theme with the Telescope Application switcher.

Check out the youtube video - it really shows off the theme nicely.


To install the theme:



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES:


5/20/2010:
Diablo 5 v.0.6
— cursor
— buttons
— comboboxes menus
— a lot of tiny small but very nice fixes.


5/14/2010:
Temporary fix identified for the issue with the black text in chat windows!
For now configure the text color manually by:
Instant messaging -> Tools -> Settings (and change the color here).
Later versions of the theme will hopefully do this automatically.

5/13/2010:
Diablo 5 ver 0.5.2:
— Scrollbar made lighter to see it easier, and
— The "Home" text is on the icon at top now removed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Known issues / Bug Tracker (read this):

1) vkb
The menu button on vkb gets disabled (copy, paste, settings...).
This was reported when user had hebrew installed (Russian is also having the same issue), in which him-arabic replaces the nokia him (hildon input method).
Can someone test English/other to see if the same issue?

2) Chat App
Nokia standard Chat application defaults to black windows and black text. There is a manual fix for the black text though (see above) and this will hopefully be automated in later versions of the theme. Let Kroll know if you know where the chat config file is located.

3) Cursor
Cursor not visible (black) in many apps/windos (browser URL bar, text editors, etc. There are some notes identified and a solution is being worked on. Solution found.

4) New app icon in status bar
With the theme you will get a new icon to access your applications. It defaults to a blue icon with a grid of blocks.
Be sure to place this icon on the far left of your icons in the status bar as if it it on the right side the pull down menu that appears may get cut off on the screen.
(You define where the icon appears in >Control Panel>Panels).

5) Email notifications
With the removal of the side bar notification of email, etc is missing.
Temporary work-around:
To get notifications, put the home menu in the status bar, issue as root:

cp /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/switcher-menu.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/


6) Hyper-link colors
It has been reported that hyperlinks in emails are hard to read due to the colors. Still open/awaiting more confirmations.
Closed until screenshot showing issue is submitted.

7) Not all apps covered by the Theme yet
As this is still an alpha release of the theme not all applications are fully covered by the theme. As the work progresses more apps will be covered and included.

8) Portrait-mode related bugs
a) The 'X' in upper-right corner is not closing the open app.
This is due to the length of the status bar and other functionality occupying that space.
Kroll has a solution in the works.
Solved.

b) The 'app switcher icon' in the upper-left corner is active and working in lanscape mode but becomes grey and inactive in portrait mode.

I myself installed the theme and within a few minutes my N810 now looked like this:

Desktop:


Vagalume:


microB browser (and tweetgo):


GarnetVM:


EmelFM2:


DialCentral:


Application Manager:


And, all those applications shown in the Telescope appswitcher:


My hat off to Kroll for creating this stunning theme. I don't think my N810 has ever looked this great before.

Do note,

1) that this is an alpha version
2) if you want to uninstall it - make sure the theme is not active when you do, and
3) After the install - Reboot!!
