Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Never had a doubt in my mind. :D Out of curiosity, how many hex keys did you try? LOL Good job buddy!

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

i tried to have an icon on the lockscreen but it doen't work.its not 148x94 either. It's 148x148. I can paste it in the right folder, not deleting your .png, and there does the story ends.
Tried to find the tuto for changing icons, but without result.

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hi Kenny1001,

I love this theme, and it's made me delve more into my N900 then I ever have before - A very nice side effect. I've changed the lockslider image several times, and I use the following process;

1. I use OpenSSH on the N900 and WINSCP on my home computer so I can "log" into the N900 easily (pretty sure you have to have root access on the N900, but can't quite remember).
2. Create your image but it does need to be 148x94 (148 wide, 94 high)
3. Get into the following folder - opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK/images/. This is where the "icon" or graphic is located and it's specifically called LockSliderThumb.png. It's not in any of the icon folders, so this is why I call it a graphic rather then an icon.
4. Change the original graphic to LockSliderThumb_Original.png. This way you always have the original that came with the theme.
5. Copy your new graphic into the folder and make sure you call it LockSliderThumb.png. Capitals and everything.

5(a). Make sure the permissions are set correct (CHMOD). I original had it set as R & W for Owner and just R for both Group and Other, but I have now changed it to R,W & X for all three (0777). Don't know if it matters, because when I first copied it across with the original setting it worked fine, so skip this step if it all works fine (this is a good reason to use OpenSSH and WINSCP as it makes it so easy).

6. Reboot the phone and you should be right to go.

I realise that this may seem to be a very noob set of instructions, but this is essentially what I am (a noob). Hope I helped.

Chris
(A noob that just happens to know a couple of things)

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

@SoulBlade that is exactly how to do it, the only way easier might be to use filebox?

Make sure root access, view images and show hidden folders are enabled in the filebox settings. Navigate to your new icon in filebox, hold your finger on it till the menu appears, select copy and the icon will now show up in the clipboard. Go to wherever your icon needs to be, select the clipboard again and press paste, confirm the overwrite and you're done!

I have a folder in my MyDocs with all the personal theme bits I use that differ from the standard, so that at every update I just run through the folder and I'm back to my preferred setup.

Another really useful feature of filebox is the bookmarks folder, you can bookmark, say opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK and get straight from MyDocs to your destination folder in 2 keypresses! ;)

I've attached the LockSliderThumb.png from the theme mate, to get yours to show up you can open theme customizer from your general settings, scroll down and (without changing anything) select 'Apply Changes', that should clear the image cache without you needing a re-boot.

@P I think I exhausted every possible number that wouldn't work... because for some reason every one I try now does!! Sod's law :rolleyes:

@All Dany-69 has been writing a script to make things easier in terms of the installation of pixmaps icons and widget images, it's not ready yet though. As soon as it is you'll know about it!

Either way I've re-done quite a lot of the theme/icons just neatening things up, and the alarm bug is now fixed. I think the next update will probably be aesthetic, with the script to follow in the one after that.

Thanks to everyone for your patience ;)

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

well i tried with mr soulblade's tuto, using filebox and it works!
because the size isn't correct it looks weird
I don't seem to find cool 148x94 icons.
maybe there is a way to rescale the icon you want...

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

In any drawing program (like gimp, photoshop, paint.NET) open the png of the one I posted, select the whole icon and cut it.
You'll then be left with an empty 148x94 box which you can put any picture you like in (although you might need to make some a bit smaller to fit). Or just make a 148x94 box, and select and cut that so it's transparent ;)


The lockslider background is in opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK/backgrounds and is called lockslider.png,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

i dont think need another keyboard,

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

These are all done mate, I'm going to need to know the exact paths to include them in the set though... at a guess the espeak ones will be in 48 somewhere and solarwolf and wifiinfo in 64, Parlapipas has kindly led us to the sygic one already (thanks again!).

EDIT: Espeak caller is in scalable, we're good with that one :D

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

My bad D4rKlar, I thought you only were after the path for the Mobile Maps. I'll get onto the paths ASAP and hopefully have them posted up tonight.

Chris.

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Ok then, this is what I've come up with (hope I got everything);

1. WifiInfo;

- "shortcut" at /opt/user/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/WifiInfo.png pointing to /opt/maemo/user/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/WifiInfo.png
- "shortcut" at /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/apps/WifiInfo.png pointing to /opt/maemo/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/apps/WifiInfo.png

2. Mobile Maps - Already sorted thanx to Parlapipas

3. Solarwolf;

- "shortcut" at /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/solarwolf.png pointing to /opt/maemo/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/solarwolf.png

4. eSpeak;

- /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/espeakGUI_64.png
- /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/espeakGUI.png

5. eSpeakCaller - Already sorted thanx to D4rKlar

One last small request, I also use Wifi Switcher that puts the attached icon up next to the battery symbol when switched on. Can this be made to suit the theme (path is /opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/wlan_off.png)?

Cheers, Chris

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Thanks Chris, much appreciated! ;)

WifiSwitcher is already there, have a look in /opt/usr/share/icons/D4rK/scalable/hildon/... are you saying it doesn't show up modded?

As a temporary fix copy the one from:

/opt/usr/share/icons/D4rK/scalable/hildon

and overwrite the original in:

/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

I'll look into why that's not showing up,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

UPDATE Is available now, still a few things I'm not 100% on (media player, default avatar pics- I think two are the same lol) but I'll try and push another out this weekend.

Thanks to Dany-69 we now have a way of installing ALL widget and pixmap images via the 'Extra D4rK' Icon which will appear in your main menu on reboot after the 1.0-6 Icon Theme update!

Thank you so, so much Dany, sorry for the hassle and thanks for not pushing through the injunction :D

The main point is the script, so any feedback is greatly appreciated!

One other thing, if you're using EFF and T-CONTROL you'll notice the icons are split in half, just put them together on your desktop and it'll make one icon, T-CONTROL left and EFF right.

I'll post some screenshots to make things clearer the second I can ;)

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

awsome Bro:):)...especially the Extra one:D...Grt work,now i knw why it took so long...but its really the best theme so far...Keep the good work...:):):):)

Dany Thanks to you too mate !!:D

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Very nice work, D4rKlar. I do like very much. BTW, are you planning changing the blue colour with any other like red or gold? ? I'd really appreciate those alternatives.

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

D4rKlar, thanks for your fantastic work!!! It's really appreciated. Could you point me to the clock theme files as the only thing I can see attached to your first post in the hildon mod deb file??

If you get a chance here is a list of applications that don't have icons at the moment:

- Conboy
- battery-eye
- ATI85
- glogarchive
- gPodder
- gTranslate
- Kanban
- Maep
- MGutenberg
- MStarDict
- MaePad
- WifiEye
- Wallet

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hey there, compliments on this amazing theme.

I just have one request, could you upload the Various Widgets zip file again please?

I know we can install the Widgets etc. through "Extra Dark" but I planned to edit a few of them and make some personal changes, so would love it if you could upload the Various Widgets file once more.

In particular, I'm after the D4rk Clock theme that it contained.

Thanks!

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Thanks mate :D

All the widget images are now installed in opt/usr/share/icons/D4rK/widgets, and the pixmap images are in opt/usr/share/icons/D4rK/pixmaps but of course I'll re-add them to the first post for you along with the clock files.

You can also go to gnome-look.org and use clock themes directly from there- noting that you can mix and match any clock components you like from any clock theme you find.

@Rav Absolutely no problem, I'll add them to the next update ;)

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Thanks a bunch mate! I'm very grateful:D

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hey again,

I just have one more request. Could you please show me how you made the media player widget look like the way it does in this picture? Or upload the files for it please? It's an amazing widget and I would love to use it.

http://i53.tinypic.com/28umjb5.png


Thanks again!

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Pro I'm so sorry, for some reason my TMO email alerts aren't working.

I'll post the necessary bits asap,

Kind Regards,
D4rK

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

OK in short to destructure the Media Player Widget you need to make the whole thing transparent, then use Techie's QB media player scripts to make 3 separate Beecons (one for each button) which can then be made any size and placed anywhere on your desktop.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2ikwbv7.png

I've put together all the png's you need (even the ones included in my theme for those that don't use it), the paths and everything for the QB widgets, for those I've just exported each of the instances to files.

Copy the QB text files, create a widget, go to the widget settings, then advanced settings, paste the text into the import buffer at the bottom, hit import buffer to Beecon and you should be good to go, although let me know if anyone has any trouble ;)

EDIT: You can also have as many of each button as you want on any desktop, to rotate them just set the orientation of the images in the Beecon settings to 90 degrees.

Apologies again for the delay,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hey no worries for the delay mate, thanks very much for your post!

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

The next theme update (uploading now) will have a CSSU compliant transitions.ini enabling forced rotation :)

http://i52.tinypic.com/23uxx88.png

http://i51.tinypic.com/33cuczm.png

Next icon update out this weekend, I'll try and bundle a fix for the portrait conversation width asap,

EDIT:

One-handed Angry Birds is awesome :D

http://i52.tinypic.com/6rt4t3.png

Kind Regards,
D4rK

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

For anyone that wants it but doesn't use my theme I'm attaching my CSSU-specific transitions.ini, including:

A light Blur to keep things fluid (as opposed to desaturate which I'm not keen on), larger 2 column task manager and forced rotation.

Goes in:

opt/usr/share/themes/YOUR THEME/

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Great work Bro...Looking forward for the update....:)

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hey I've updated my M4rin4 D4rk theme a couple of days ago, but I am unable to use the forced rotation transition feature. Whenever I tilt my phone portrait, the transition does not go into portrait mode.

So I downloaded your zip and manually extracted it into

opt/usr/share/themes/M4rina-D4rk

like you said in your post, but this still hasn't made any changes, I am still unable to go into portrait mode in conversations or anything else.

Please help

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Try putting it in usr/share/hildon-desktop, don't forget to reboot after.

Also go to settings -> About Community SSU and make sure you're on version 12.1 or later,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hey sorry to be a noob but in my settings there is no option for 'About Community SSU'.

Is that an app I have to install for the transitions to work? Since I couldn't find it in App Manager either.

Or is it the custom hildon desktop that you have linked on the first page?

P.S. thanks again for the media player beecons, they are working great for me!

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Also, one more thing I would like to know please.

The media player widget displays album art on its top left corner. Is there any way to stop it from doing this? Just so that only the media player app shows album art but the widget does not.

If you have managed that please do show me :D

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

@Pro The Community SSU (or CSSU) is the new operating system update made by members of TMO, which is currently in testing.

Have a look here:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...223#post955223

The features enabled in the latest CSSU update (portrait mode and all of MohammadAG's mods) are accessed via the transitions.ini.

Unfortunately the media player widget reads the media player, so you've either got album art on both or on neither,

Kind Regards,
D4rK

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

No problem. Thanks alot for the info. I'll be checking that out now!

Edit: Ok I've got CSSU installed, no problem at all, the transitions are also working now so thats great too!

But now for some reason all of my icons are appearing alot larger then they were before I installed CSSU, and even though I went into theme customizer and lowered them, it made no difference.

Any solution to getting my icons back to the size they were at before?

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Hello. Thanks for your theme, it looks really nice, but I don't have enough experience to deal with this problem while trying to install your theme:
conflicting application packages: font changer

It happened to me before with some another theme... Can you please help me?

EDIT: Veleno thanks for your help. Deleting font changer did help me.

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

You must remove the package "font changer" from applications manager or fapman

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

ok i've been using the original marina theme (the old one) today and realised that i missed it, and its in some points better than the new d4rk one, for example, its nice to have the icon background highlited in the media player, or when pressing back and exit .
the new d4rk m4rina theme is awesome, adn i think that the marina series is the best .
but i think its a bit odd, i think it would've been better if clicking back/exit from an app changes the back/exit's icon background colour .

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

This theme looks really nice

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

Serious question here i love these icons so much, but i really really really hate the Ninja how the F do i replace that image looks tacky in my contacts with each person having a ninja for their display pic, Would love to change it but not sure where to go.

Thanks heaps mate for all your work great theme

Re: D4rKworKs - M4riNa D4rK Theme/Icons
 

No worries, check the following post (a few pages back) and download the business pack that will give you replacement avatars, with which you can overwrite the theme avatars using filebox.

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...2&postcount=75

The paths should all be in there,
