[Theme] Maemo 5 Star Trek Theme
 

I Started working on a Star Trek theme and I decided to throw up a teaser shoot of the first background to see what people think. I have had some say its to busy and I should go simple. I might do two wall paper packs with this theme.

Desktop Screenshots will be up tonight.

Nice work but I'm inclined to agree with those that have already told you it's a bit busy. Would mate a good lock screen image though where there are no icons/widgets

Do you think something simular with less stuff would be good or something totally different?

Re: [Theme] Maemo 5 Star Trek Theme
 

I would suggest something more calm and epic, like this one (just general reference)

I'll work on something more calm for wall papers but I think I will find a use for top one took hours to do hate to waste it.

Looking forward to a Star Trek theme! I kinda like the idea of a 4-screen panoramic battle scene for the desktop, but I also think it might be too busy and might not work well with a bunch of icons and widgets. Space scenes with larger ships or planets like hopbeat suggested would probably work better, or even stylized faction logos (Federation, Romulan, etc). Examples:

i like the examples above and am looking forward to a star trek theme. I have installed the star trek type system sounds through app manager and they are cool. But the themes themselves didn't really work that well for the N900 so am looking forward to something specifically for the N900.

Looking forward to seeing the screenshots!

Personally, I agree the background is too busy. For my old LCARS themes, I tried to make wallpapers that looked like something you might see on the computers on the show... i.e. more diagrammatic. Here are a ton of examples of graphics from the shows/movies. Here's an image from Michael Okuda's portfolio (the graphic designer who created LCARS).

The static/non-animated panels (i.e. most of the computers in the shows) were actually color gels cut into various shapes and lit from behind. Thus, most of the graphics consist of solid-color cells and lines, usually separated by some black space.

edit: Also, if you're going to have a bunch of ships in a battle, it looks kind of odd to have them all firing simultaneously.

I agree, you should also consider various nebulae and perhaps even more than one wallpaper set.
Either way my point is that the darker the theme, the more annoying it gets in direct sunlight.

Nice work, but too busy. Hopbeat has a good suggestion, above.
