@rhtz
Please try to show us your theme's preview in full size... You don't need to compress it.
It will be great to see all details at every theme's screen to make a comments more reasonable thumbsup.gif
rhtz
@ BBT :: thnx man.. ..glad you liked it =D.. ..
@ Lio :: I'm trying to fix it sad.gif .. ..
Gault
well. how would you fix it. just take 240 X 320 screen shots and then create a preview with them.

@ rhtz

Nice work, mate... thumbsup.gif

It has been exactly a year since last Valentine's (TMC week 203) when I last themed. Now I come back.
To diversify themes for different mobile platforms, I contribute a Symbian UIQ3 theme, which brough me the first and only GOLD CUP until now.



I know very well how hard is it to arrange all the colors in a UIQ3 theme but I suggest to take a look at the text color on messeges screen (I didnt try the theme naturally but I am almost sure that it will be very hard to read the white text). Secondly the colors of the calendar can be arranged much more better.
Even w/o any modification the theme is very nice. clap.gif


Thank you for helpful advice!
Yes, I agree with you that it is hard to arrange color, especially text colors in UIQ3. It is because some texts are not previewed in Theme creator. I have to test many times on the phone to find unreadable items.
For this HANDPRINT theme, I am playing with texts and testing it on my P1i. There will be some modifications and will show you later.

@BBT: advice taken tongue.gif thanks

Hi friends
I have completed my theme...MY FIRST ever theme in CARBIDE
Got a wonderful VIDEO TUTORIAL leart from it n then made it!
Here is the link
http://www.rockbottom.plus.com/Carbide/sta...rs%20Video.html

BUt i m not able to package it Save it As .NTH file
it gives error every time

Pls can anybody help me on this

I m pasting the pic of the error that is being displayed




It's been some time since I used series 40 3rd edition studio, but I think this may be due to the image compression your using, I seem to remember images needing to be PNG and not JPEG or BMP but i could easily be wrong, it has been some time wink.gif

also another thing is to make sure your themes files are stored in the correct location or the studio won't be able to find it etc wink.gif

And now here is a little tool i just came across for all you nokia themers smile.gif

here is the description of the application - " Some words about this tool : PNG2BMP2 is a application which can convert transparent PNG file in to two separate BMP files - one as the image itself and the second one as transparency mask. It can be used for example for Symbian (e.g. UIQ3) development or any other purpose.."

you can download it here - http://www.ruefa.com/png2bmp2/

and if the link does not work, i have it myself, just ask me smile.gif



Thanks @BBT @ Boxie
BUt im not able to fix it any ways...sad.gif
So now trying with an online theme creator

Hope i get desired results

what i mean was that ur taskbar looks awful. i think the settings are at 8-bit color sad.gif

@ALL: i think this is my final entry....worked hard on this one, mainly the animated wallpaper smile.gif



ANIMATED BACKGROUND:



Changes to the theme:
1. animated wally added
2. white border added to all pop-up menus
3. input1 screen changed with a horizontal dividing line

EDIT2: er...do u guys think the image is too blurry?? the previous ones looked clearer to me unsure.gif i dont kno why

EDIT:
@Gault: awesome work! surrender.gif it makes my theme look so amateurish sad.gif
Gault
Nope. none of the images look blur to me.
only one reading problem. in the input 2 box where the highlighted digit in the time is very hard to see.


after creating 4 samples of your theme

you cant say it's amateurish.
boxieblue
laugh.gif yea i guess so haha.gif i hope i dont have to make any more changes...it looks pretty good to me now smile.gif

clap.gif Looks good, but I would make the standby screen a little darker too. And I would make three individual buttons for the softkeys... byebye.gif
Gault
well if you say so. i'll try

and then i'll upload a preview.

i made the menu background dark so there are no reading problems.
whats the point of having a theme in your phone on which you cant even read anything laugh.gif

EDIT : almost forgot to comment sam's entry

hey Sam. i would go with the Sony ericsson theme because the wallpaper fits better.

Well, thhe firts thing I saw ... it is a significant gradient degradation -especially on da upper right side trough all pictures...

Should consider to make some dithering optimisation.

@ Gault, Looking really good!

@ Sam, I would have to say second one, i feel its more pleasing to the eye the first one on the second and third screen previews
has this lined effect, which really really strains the eyes imo

good job tho!
daisy06

also Idle image wasnt working on my phone properly so i didnt take a screen shot of that!!

the new choice is going to give u a lot of problems. mainly functionality issues, due to the contrast between dark blue and white. my suggestion is try not to use contrasting colors in a background(i made that mistake with the Ferrari White theme)

see for yourself...the "messaging" is not readable.....or anything else that is on the white part of it.

besides, i LOVED your earlier white version wink.gif

@ daisy
It's always nice to get a feel of people's reaction to one's pride & joy creation.
But it's equally important that you feel totally satisfied with it.

I personally like your 1st one - but if you're not "feeling it", then by all means take a leap of faith & change it... no one's going to fault you for being you and for wanting to be happy with your creations.
After all, helpful comments are well-meaning feedback from friends who really want you to see you develop a great style of your own.

...you have to "feel it" to get there smile.gif........ so go ahead.......... look for it...... feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel it!!!!!!! grouphug.gif
