Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

just playing with transitions and i found this on in symbianfreak.com (thanks to leetut!).

in my observation of using this custom transition, its also fast, but not as fast as what d-iivil usr for his theme so i would not recomend it to be used as the custom transitions for plastic theme :D but you can try.

just extract the attached file to /usr/share/hildon-desktop (rootsh installed and on root mode)

remeber to back-up or copy the default .ini file somewhere in your storage. if you are using plastic theme, go to settings, plastic theme setup, select "use DEFAULT transitions", then "keep my Current theme" leave auto reboot unchecked (no need for reboot). then save changes.

(disclaimer: im not responible for damages, please do this at your own risk)

And now all themes describes like this

Please help

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

I don't see anything else "broken" on those screenies than font that's too large to use. If that's your problem, then go and select some other font to go with (Nokia Sans or Droid Sans are 100 percent working ones).

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Any chance of some lighter colours? i.e off white, light grey. Maybe an off white wallpaper with slightly darker icon backgrounds.

Not sure if it's anything to do with the theme, but I've had a couple of hangs when using the desktop configuration (moving icons, adding widgets and shortcuts).
Tapping "Done" won't switch back to the desktop. The desktop hangs and then all the widgets disappear.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

This was a bug with Python -widgets if I recall correctly. There's a long thread somewhere where that issue was talked about. So it's not theme related.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

D-Iivil

Where is no "X" button in the up-right corner

PS All themes now just like this

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Aaah, now I see :) Don't really know why though. Might be something related to all moddings you seem to have done. Does it close the window if you tap on where the X-button should be?

Edit: did you install any other apps at the same time with Plastic Theme? Or upgraded an existing one? Try to uninstall devel apps one by one and see if it brings back the rest of the top bar.
You could also try to type this into terminal:
sudo gainroot
killall hildon-status-menu

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

D-Iivil. Yes if i tap to X button it close.

If i install other theme, everything is OK, but after reboot all the same.

I dont now may be flash or ?

I upgrade plastic several times

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

So it must be some program which loads up during boot. If you don't want to reflash, then start to remove programs one by one and reboot after removing one to see if it helped. That's all I can think of.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

thanks i will try

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

It might also be because some of your custom images @ top menu could be corrupted etc. Dunno. But I'm sure it's not because of the theme if it happens with other themes also.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

This might be a stupid question on my part but ...

Just updated to the latest, what happened to the red version? :(


Edit - Yep, stupid question. :) Addon packs, grabbing now, thanks! Great theme btw :cool:

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Hi D-Iivil

First of all, excellent work. Really cool stuff is going on here.
Now, secondly, my issue: Tweakr's snapping-feature doesn't work, contrary to your hint, no matter if I use default or custom transitions. Even having uninstalled tweakr, the icons/widgets don't snap. Tried several possible combinations: enabeling default or custom transitions while switching between default and custom themes, no snapping...
Are the transitions or the snapping sub-theme specific? I'm using the Pleego variation, all options enabled and/or set to Black Plastic specific defaults... Any way to get snapping back?

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

love this theme package, great work:D

i have a request though how about an option to remove the square shadows from the icons , its very tedious typing the same code in xterminal everytime i try a new colour or do an update and i just cant live with those square shadows on any theme i use:P

keep up the amazing work m8

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

If you choose to use default transitions then tweakr will work (if it was working before). You just need to reboot probably after applying tweakr settings.

There IS a snap to grid set ON @ my transitions. It's set to 4px. If you want to have my transitions and bigger snap-to-grid you may do the following:
edit this file with your favourite editor (I prefer leafpad so example code below uses it), rootsh must be installed, type this into xterm:
sudo gainroot
leafpad /usr/share/themes/blackplastictheme-themedir/transitions.tmp

Scroll down to the end of the file and you'll see the snap to grid value. Change the value to bigger one to get larger snap (try 8 or 16).

Save the file by tapping to bar, then save.

Close terminal, run Plastic Theme Setup, choose to use custom transitions and reboot. Hit save and wait for the phone to reboot.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Nah, 4px snapping is fine with me. Had it on small anyway. But for the hell of it, tweakr is gone, custom animations activated, applied, theme setup run, reboot: no snapping. Icons/widgets move on a 1 or at most 2px basis. Sheeezle :@ Any ideas?
With my last try I went as far as applying Nokia Nseries, rebooted. Without changing the theme I used the config app, let it set all to custom and Pleego and then reboot: Custom transitions are ok but no snap...! Hmpf...!

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Excellent programme. Thanks for all your hard work. I sent you a cold beer.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

@d-iivil

yo! this may be too much but is there a possibility that the "D-theme Night" be added on the plastic theme?

Thanks...... :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

I had the same concern. What worked for me was to switch to the default theme and rebooted, which got the "snap to grid" working again. When I was done I just switched back to Plastic Theme. Hope this helps.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Believe me guys, it's there. 4px is just so small amount (it's the same as default @ PR1.2. If you want more noticeable snapping, then edit the transitions.tmp -file. I already posted detailed instruction for doing that :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

hello. at first, LOVE this theme for its customability (not sure is that a word) i have a problem and a request.

the problem is that i changed the font in plastic theme setup and it changed the font of sites opened with microb, but it only changed it once, tried to change to another font, but still the same font is in microb. i uninstalled and reinstalled all plastic theme packs + addons but the font is still the same (alien league.ttf)

then to the request. is it possible to include font size changer to the setup, like +1 / -1. all the fonts i have tried are too big or too small. (or the fonts that fit didnt have the scandinavian äöå)

thanks for a great theme and thanks for help/advice in advance. will buy you a beer, and another if you ever wonder in my pub :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Hi there! Will the font change in other areas but only micro-b is stucked on that old font? If so, then I'm out of ideas... micro-b should follow the font that other areas of OS follows. You can always try to delete the font-file and reboot. That might force micro-b to pick up another font.

About the size changer; I think it's too complicated to do with shell script, but will look into it definitely after I've solved the issue how to fit more stuff into Plastic Setup window :P

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

have a 2-page setup screen maybe??

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

I think I'll make it scrollable.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

other areas changed the font. only the pages were with the old one. deleting the font helped. thanks again :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Cool, good that it was solved by such a simple sollution :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

...which is bviously a much better idea ! :P

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

yey! its monday! what are the other fonts that has the compressed effect like the nokia sans cn? qjite useful for some customizable widgets

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

The "effect" is called condenced, there are plenty of condenced fonts, start here:

Would all Pleego fan-boys and -girls please go to http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...on-pack-2/1.2/ and vote for their favorite N900 theme!

Thanks D-Iivil for this piece of eye-candy! I think it deserves a theme/package of its own!

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Got solved how to make the window scrollable, so next version will have these new settings:
- show or hide icon backgrounds @ homescreen
- change the snap-to-grid amount @ homescreen to suit your needs

Hopefully will release it tomorrow :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Progress is made :)

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

awesome!!!!! cant wait:D

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Wow! It's almost complete! But to be sure I'll ask myself what can be done more?!

My son has a request! A Cars addon pack with customised wallpapers and icons! This can be done? A kids addon? Thanks!

Sounds like Disney could get quite angry. Copyrighted material...

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

I will join in as newbie. I have just installed black plastic and when I go through settings I do not have any font options at all. I have choice of colour then transitions.
Can anyone advise? I might be posting in wrong place though.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

@brois

once you have opened your Plastic theme setup, you should see the Font title with a blank field next to it?

Ok, if you click on that field (for me, more towards the right hand side) a new window should open with font options.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
 

Just tried pleego for the first time. It is in a word - beautiful. Voted for it and happy to do so.

Re: [Release] Plastic Theme + Addon Packs - change of direction
