ok so here is another version, with subtle changes over the first one.....



so now it is either this one, the first one, or the second one with smaller highlights.....


Boxie, it looks great, only prob i have (only due to having really bad eye sight) is the dark blue writing, i have to really squint and get close to the screen to read it.. possibly change this to white, or a lighter blue?

my word this is awful pointing things out on other peoples themes when mine are hardly perfect themselves surrender.gif

@rhtz:: nice one...but i think some of the text is not very readable. could u use better contrast between the text and the background? smile.gif
about the missing Softkey, i suppose you have used the "IMPORT" command for putting the softkey in the standby screen??? ahh...this is a problem with the theme creator. you won't be able to see that softkey on any other screen. what u have to do is copy and paste that softkey on the "BACKGROUND" itself, so that it becomes a part of it and it will be seen on all screens


@mamaflump: duhhh.....what blue text? i haven't used blue text at ANY place in my theme ohmy.gif if u are talking about the dark text in some of the pop-up menus (like "New Events" for example) then it always remains that way smile.gif it won't be a problem when u use it on ur phone wink.gif

@daisy: thanks a lot. nice to have some appreciation laugh.gif and i am sure that when u finally finish your theme, it will be better than all three of my themes put together wink.gif

QUOTE (BadBoyThemer @ Feb 5 2009, 11:10 AM) *
@ cute heart: your idea is solid and a good one, but you seem to be lacking follow through, the great thing about design is well ................ you design it how you want it, there are no restrictions in art but your own imagination. Your bars ( highlights ) should not be soo big, as long as the menu text can be seen on bars thats enough, me I go 2 pixels from bootom and top usually, especially if i going to really do detialed bars, and want to create an illusion of depth on a 2D object. I often utilize those extra spaces of pixels for adding drop shadows, or deeper shapes etc as i said anything goes smile.gif so here is a quick list of what i would personally do to your theme to spruce it up a bit.

1 - I would make the clock animation smaller maybe 30% smaller, this would allow for both your clock and the themes digital clock to be seen easily. also it would allow the operator text to be seen.

2 - on your highlights as stated earlier I would make highlights not so big, and I would also change the heart graphic from being stretched to being even sized maybe 20 by 20 px, and placed on the end of each highlight, this means text can be easily seen. Plus it will look a lot better than currently.

3 - think more about your themes color pallet, if your main colors are to be black and red, then choose similar colors for other details, like make the scroll bar red, and make your text white for screens, cause white can be easily read on a dark surface, and make the scroll bar background black, for a black background, with a nice red scroll bar will look great, and totally fit in with your themes appearance and style.

4 - When ever you wish to use a busy image on the navigation content, try this little trick.

make your image the first layer, then add a new layer next select all of the new layer by using ctrl A , and then fill it in with flat black #000000, next go to your new layers blending properties and change the overall layer opacity ( first option at top in menu ) to say 70 or 80% , this will allow you to still visabley see your image, while adding enough cover to now also see any text written over it smile.gif

All of what I have said may seem hard or confusing for you now, but given some time and practice, will become common sense in newer projects etc, it all comes with time ( don't believe me go see my older work lol )

so yea just rememebr it's your theme there are no set boudries in how you go about skinning, and it is this that sets each designer apart, sure being skilled at digital art helps, but it's not everything, imagination is smile.gif

best of luck grouphug.gif
