Hello there,

IivilSteel Light Theme (2.0.0.4) is soon available at extras-testing and can be installed via App Manager.

What's changed since 2.0.0.3;
- massive color adjustments to make text readable in every app

This theme is based on IivilSteel Theme (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41675) and it's basically just a light version of the dark IivilSteel.


Please test and then cast your vote here:

Readability issues (even after reboot):

1. Calendar app: All text on the light gray bars (days and dates) is nearly impossible to read (white on light gray).

2. Calendar widget date is white on white-gray, cannot be read.

Otherwise looks good.

Thanks, to be fixed :)

Okay. It's a bit more difficult to get text readable on every single app on the phone if you want to have a light background color on main elements.

I did some compromises, but I think it's usable now :)

New version is available on extras-testing now.

It is much better now.

I do think that the Calendar is a major app, so thanks for getting it to be readable all around. I do have a question about the calendar colors: All views use a black field with orange text. Is that what you intended? It seems completely out of character with the light theme, and may not actually work that well in bright sunlight. (The phone app and contacts look great in sunlight).

Calendar should look like this.

I see what's happening.

Calendar color preference is determining the field color of the calendar day boxes (week view), line-symbol "text (month view), and bar text color (agenda view), When I change the calendar color, all of these also change as described.

This is standard for all themes it seems. Sorry, my bad.

I was thinking that changing themes might automatically choose the best calendar color for a particular theme, but I'm nearly certain this would not meet with universal approval.

Great work!

Hello. you can help me? I too am creating themes for the 900, but as you know theme maker does not create deb files. You might help me understand how you create? thank you in advance.

Yeah. Calendar seems to be a pain in the *** anyway since it seems not to follow theme font color coding at all. That's why I had to keep calendar so dark because there's some white texts no matter what I did. If someone knows a workaround for this, please share it with me also :)

And for mowmo; google for madde theme making and then set up a SDK enviroment to build up debs locally.

Beautiful themes. I would be great if we can get them packed up and in the repositories.

very nice d-liv. In short I have to install the SDK on Ubuntu? Should not you make a guide? or if you know one already 'done give me the link. I'm not finding anything and I'm going crazy:)

Here's a guide for installing SDK in Ubuntu easily:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo5_Final_Installation#Installing_Maemo_5_SDK_u sing_GUI_Installer

After you have MADDE & SDK installed and you have done everything you want inside MADDE, you can then copy your theme-project folder into SDK and then pack it up there with typing following command inside scratchbox / your theme directory: "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot". First time it will tell that you're missing some depencies so you need to manually install them with apt-get install -command.

It's kind of not-so-easy to set-up, but after you've got yourself a working development platform it's easy to produce themes.

And also if you want to upload your stuff into extras-devel or extras, you should read this:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Uploading_to_Extras-devel

But that's enough of off-topic :) You might want to create a new topic under Developement -category?
