It's nice to see how impatient you people are... well, we were waiting for Pia's votes, as her laptop crashed, she managed to vote couple of minutes ago, so the voting thread is now closed, and I know the final results... just waiting for AW, so we can present them somehow to you... all I can say now is that the winner got the first place both from he public votes and the judges... for other 2 places we had a race between 5-6 themes... gathering.gif

@Lionet

Notes:
- votes from stickee, gillxx & heiven not counted as members do not have at least 30 posts
- those who voted include all participants (except vinnieza & Emmsy), hungnc, Kashif85, dLazaros, sofia, Lionet & Sedma. Only posts with comments are made public. Comments are intact but I have tweak the positioning a bit here and there so my advice is - don't try to guess the votes. smile.gif

Public Votes



Overall Votes (Public & Judges)
vinnieza
I wasn't able to get online yesterday. Lots of stuff come up wallbash.gif. Good luck to the entrants.

Sorry I didn't vote everyone. I did not make it (see sentence above). However, I felt everyone should deserve comments at least so they are below. Great themes overall, it was lucky I didn't get to vote as it would have been hard. Sorry for the bad comments also, it was hard to find problems in the good themes thus some of my comments are being very nit picky. sad.gif

Anyway my comments:

@mamaflump, Not bad, it's good to see the consistent colours. I would try making transparent highlights (well this is personal preference but I love them) and also adding a borders around the popup screen so you can distinguish between it and the background. Also, I think the pictures title image is too dark, it would have been better to continue the trend with the titles. The white in the highlights may make some text hard to read? Other than that good work.

@mohammed_intekhab, Very good background and I like the little design decisions you were playing with: Water bubbles for the tabs, also the curve on the picture title. May have been good to make all titles like this or the other though (consistency). I would like to see a 1px black border around the elements to make them stand out such as the highlight as at the moment it may blur into the background a bit too much?

@NVDVS1, Great use of colours, you have come a long way since you started. Only thing is on the eye of the hulk in the menus it maybe hard to read the text. Maybe adding a colour overlay may help this?

@your_mother, another good selection of a wallpaper. Nice highlights and titles. Good use of borders to distinguish these items. I can't think of any improvements. Very nice theme.

@angikati, as i said in your thread, simplistic and awesome.

@shalu2173, good use of colours, good creative designs with the highlights. Only critic is the media player being blue. Would have been better black.

@amijoon, The hearts for the tabs was a creative step. The theme could do with some title images though and I think borders and transparency will make the highlights a lot better. Also, think about the readability on the menus, the background is a bit too busy and blurring it with maybe a colour change for the text would make it much better.

@migoy_ghost, clown fish are great :D. The background maybe a bit busy and cause readability issues, blurring it would solve this or as you did with the popup- make it darker. Continuing the softkey throughout the theme would also improve consistency.

@sam1374, Good theme, good to see blurring in the menus to aid readability although you missed the contacts menu?

@Bishop_Bacon, clapping.gif

@dragon2590, good as always. Not sure about the readability of the text on the popup with the stripes in the background? Maybe add some opacity to the stripes? It maybe fine on the phone though.

@Gault, Very good but again why is there a blue media player? Is this something that cannot be changed? oops.gif. Other than that good use of colours.

@rhtz, I don't know why but it reminds me of MGS. A softkey would have benefited this theme. The red also hurts my eyes but I probably need to get them tested wink.gif. The titles are good, it would have been nice to see one for the tab screen also. It's good to see you blurred the background to make it more readable although it is still hard in places. Maybe play with the text colours? Good to see the input screens changed also (unlike on mine oops.gif).

@vinnieza, 1.gif

@daisy06, It look s good. I can't see any real problems with it.

@zjurina, Improvements: Hah as if. Good theme Zj.

@BadBoyThemer, 10.gif for improvements: same as Zj.

@Emmsy, Another great theme. Good use of colours, not too crowded, readable. Would be good to see yellow media controls rather than blue and black text on the highlights under general?

@jasnasto, 10.gif see my comments for Zj for improvements.

@manitaaan, Nice theme. Creative components also.

@Azyrash, the X and the gradient for the popup is creative. Borders around the highlights. Good theme. Maybe unsaturate/tone down the background to the loading bar, the brown stands out too much. 3 menu screens, Are you hiding something? tongue.gif

@Atalantos, smile.gif

@davis-art. Love it.


I did have lots of smilies everywhere but it wouldn't let me post all of them.

Badboythemer - Wonderful work. great softkeys . and overall a pretty awesome theme.

BBT - very original, eye-catching and extremely detailed theme... my favorite details are selected tabs and the left frame on the popups... one thing tho, that red text, hmmm... but it might be only me...

BBT - Master piece, detailed and very creative, since very functional. Red text suited much better in this theme.

@BBT
You don't need in my approval, I think...I'm a so "young" instead of you wink.gif I just have to say: a great theme I always wondering how many colors are you use in your themes...

BadBoyThemer
Quality, detail-loaden, luminous, quite usable theme with stunning 3D-barwork. Didn't expect anything else fom you.

BadBoyThemer - a ton of details and splendid achievement, butimo, the red is too strong
and hurt the balance.

BadBoyThemer
--- A work done very professionally, wonderful details that only very talented artists can do, although it somehow sacrificed (quite a bit) its functionality. If I am to use this on my phone, somehow I'd feel that the details are somehow over the top.


grouphug.gif wub.gif I am literally taken away by having won such a difficult TMC, it has been some time since I last skinned a mobile phone, so this means a great deal to me. Thanks for your support and kindness, and I hope you enjoy my next weeks choice of subject topic for TMC smile.gif.

Thanks again people, see you next week.

@AW: It is better if you could include blank post of voters whose votes are without comment in the thread, instead of leaving a small note under the result chart.

Noted! Unfortunately I couldn't do that this time because I deleted all the posts without comments instead of hiding them, a big mistake! wallbash.gif But I do have full screenshots of the voting thread. Your TMC manager is back, so she will decide if she would present it this way. I personally think your suggestion is good. thumbsup.gif

Hehe, VS can't read your mind yet. tongue.gif I shared your suggestion with both VS & Maampia. I will be doing that with other judges too cause I think your system introduce some consistency among voters. smile.gif

Also, we implemented a few suggestions from themers when asked for feedbacks a while ago, like open topic (by Patrick_Lippe), panel of judges (by a couple of themers), 2 week event (by Maampia), anonymous voting etc in the hope that these will make TMC better, fairer, more fun. smile.gif

By now, I still remember that I guessed 4 out of 5 themes too, and got the winner right.
But since all the vote were hidden according to the rule, so tomorrow or a day after, I may forget all what I voted. Hope that won't happen.
Bishop_Bacon
Cool, brass bronze...! blink.gif smile.gif

Congrats to all other winners and thanks for the many friendly comments on my "comeback" theme, I feel SO at home right now.
I hope you had as much fun in seeing over the different entries and commenting as I had. smile.gif
The latter is such a good practice for couching one's opinion, I wonder how I could ever miss this.
Good luck to everyone who plans to entry Week 220!

to the winners

QUOTE (shalu2173)
@ Atlantos

Absolutely amazing work..The colour contrast n sharpness is really appealing..The bars which r transparent and r carrying the background effect looks awesome..!
Thank you shalu2173 notworthy.gif

QUOTE (Gault)
Atalantos - great sparks behind the logo. great visibility and overall a great theme.
Thanx mate thumbsup.gif

QUOTE (Jasnasto)
Atalantos - top marks for the contrast and colouring... nice backround work as usual... bars are probably to simple for my taste tho...
Thank you Jasna wub.gif
I know the bars were too simple, but as I said, I didn't have much time sad.gif
I also wanted to make a standby animation crybaby.gif

QUOTE (vswindtalker)
Atalantos @ One of the significant themes of the week, very nicely done. Good and nicely done barwork. Nice and attractive colors and standby wallpaper. The only thing I can say is instead of black text you should continue with the same text color of contacts screen.
Thank you vswindtalker notworthy.gif
I've tried it on the phone but it wasn't that good wink.gif

QUOTE (Lionet)
@ata
well done, my friend. I've impressed with your theme but I've tried it at my phone. wink.gif look, the gradients you've used at inputs, popups and morelist are not solid at the phone's screen, and that's why your theme looks like it has missed something... I know I too strict (do you remember that black line at softkeys??? haha) but you must to watch closely on any part of the theme
haha.gif yea I remember that chair.gif laugh.gif
probably at your v4.7 aren't solid but at mine v4.6, they are tongue.gif

QUOTE (maampia)
Atalantos
--- I really love it, specially its attractiveness and the background orange light effect of the bars, I just think the highlights should be less transparent for functionality sake and I personality think it would look a lot better with a little more opaque highlights.
Thank you maampia notworthy.gif
my highlights, at the beginning, they were solid. I made them transparent by accident (I reduced the opacity on the wrong layer wacko.gif laugh.gif ) and I kind liked them more tongue.gif

==========================
Thank you all for your votes and for the comments notworthy.gif
