[Release] Red Alert

Hello,

This is a red based theme, which was created by:
http://www.mobile-geeks.com/dark-the...00-maemo/2109/

What I did

Brighter fonts
Red buttons
New wallpaper
Red progress bars
Red media player icons
New lockscreen
Fixed bugs
Updated for new firmware
Packaged .deb

//== How to install ==\\

1) To install you need to transfer the downloaded .deb file to your N900(for example Documents folder)
2) Open xterm and type(you need rootsh for this):

Code:

sudo gainroot

dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/redalert.deb

3) Close xterm, go to Desktop -> Desktop Menu -> Themes to change theme.

If the theme doesn't look as it should it is suggested to reboot your phone after the installation.

Re: [Theme] Red Alert

Quick guide to make .deb:
1) Create a folder, for example /home/user/mytheme_deb
2) Create a filesystem folder hieararchy under the previously created folder. In this case, create directory /home/user/mytheme_deb/usr/share/themes/red_alert and all its subdirectories.
3) Copy your files to previously created directories
4) Create a folder called "DEBIAN" in the folder created in 1)
5) Create file called "debian-binary" in the DEBIAN directory. Edit the file to have only text "2.0" in it (without the quotation marks obviously).
6) Add a file called "control" in the DEBIAN directory. Example of file "control":

Code:

Package: redalert_theme

Version: 1.0

Section: user/system

Priority: optional

Architecture: armel

Depends: example_dependency (>= 0.2.0), another_example

Installed-Size: 1024

Maintainer: King Kong <king.kong@jungle.com>

Source: none

Description: Red alert theme

 nice theme with red buttons and all...

 remember the whitespace in beginning of line when

 something goes on multiple lines.

7) Add scripts called "postinst" and "prerm" in the DEBIAN directory. "postinst" should have operations which need to be done after the files has been copied in the directories shown by your filesystem hierarchy and "prerm" should have operations which need to be done before uninstall removes the files. I guess that with themes you don't need to have anything in these, just add line "#!/bin/sh" to both of them.

At this point you should have folders:
- /home/user/mytheme_deb/DEBIAN with files prerm, postinst, control and debian-binary
- /home/user/myhteme_deb/usr/share/themes/red_alert with your theme files and subdirectories

8) Run "dpkg -b /home/user/mytheme_deb mytheme_1.0_armel.deb" to make the deb. Debs should be named like package_version_architecture.deb.

I hope I remembered all.

If you don't know how to access your N900's system files(e.g /usr/share/themes) via SSH please search for a guide on the forum about how to make a SSH connection.

Theme fixed, re-download from first post and let me know if it works correctly this time.

Re: [Theme] Red Alert

What is the purpose of the __MACOSX folder? :)

Re: [Theme] Red Alert

Great theme! Just not as consistent as Matrix theme it seems.

Some things I noticed:
- Display Brightness squares are dark gray. Can't tell which square is lit. Shows as nice and green on Matrix theme however.
- Volume bar is also dark gray. Would look better as red as well. =)
