Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

This thing is a dream to use, especially with theme-customizer. It doesn't have any of the ostentatious garbage most themes have. It doesn't try to look like another phone. It just presents information in a clean manner. Thanks, joppu.

ok what are you talking about, what is "THIS THING" that you are referring to

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

It's a theme joppu put in extras-devel.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

love the name, any screens?

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Well, it's just a couple of rectangles so it's not really that big of a deal.

Not even Window Phone 7? (something I realized after starting working on it :) )

You're welcome, I really appreciate positive feedback on my themes (which are most of the time something I design both by myself and for myself)

Also sorry about the name, I couldn't figure out anything better on time.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

It's very nice and clean indeed i love it, great work joppu.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

No, I like the name too. I think I know what inspired it.

It's very rare for theme designers to sit down and make something that just stays out of your way; I wanted you to know it is appreciated.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Very nice also. Clean cut and straight forward. Black as black can be. Awesome. Blue is a bit soft

I wish theme-customizer supported changing scroll-bar, highlight and select colors. I love the orange color from an-Droid theme.

Keep up the great work, joppu.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

To do that theme customizer needs to be able to edit batches of images on the fly. Change saturation/hue/etc and ... actually, that's conceivably doable - just future themes that support this would have to come with all-white icons or something, so that such transformations could be done on the base, then saved somewhere...

White icons aren't actually necessary, but I think they'd make it more practically useful, since you can modify RGB or saturation/hue and transparency values from there. (Unless you're talking about the scroll 'bar' that you see in conversations and microb, that don't actually allow scrolling, but scroll as you move the screen around.)

Although personally I have always been a fan of the Marina theme, and no other theme has ever appealed to me as much, and have just been modifying it slightly for months when I get the time. (I like it, but purely desaturated colors are even more appealing to me, so I've been going for white versions of all the blue icons....)

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

I like it. Thanks joppu. :)

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Well.. with Qt it's pretty easy to edit images on the fly, so that's not the problem. What will cause problems is that if you just change the hue for example the highlighted button image, it will change the hue also for the "borders" of the button (in case the button png isn't placed on transparent background) and will look ugly against the background color of the current element.

Therefore I think it would cause more harm than good to implement such a thing into Theme Customizer. These kinds of things need to be done manually with some image editor where you can set the area to adjust etc.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

It would work pretty well if the theme has a solid black background, eg. #000000. Otherwise the coloring issues will be inevitable.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Joppu, I've been running this theme for a few days now, and it's great. I love how simple and unobtrusive it is. Also, replacing the wallpaper with a solid black image makes it look even better, but that's just my taste.

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

no i genuinely meant i like the name. no sarcasm despite the signature! :P puts me in mind of rainy day women # 12 & 35 :)

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

After installing it i found another theme i didn't install myself called D-Theme Waemo, but i liked it and i'm using it
I wounder if my phone is starting to download things on its own or d-iivil has something to do with that !

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Working on a icon set with simplified icons for this theme, these will be also used in the upcoming themes Hitech and Laskeuma (hopefully).

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

I can assure you I haven't installed anything into your device remotely :P
You probably just have installed the theme accidently at some point...

Re: Incredibly Uninspired Blocky and Dull Theme #154
 

Any chance you'll make this in other colors?

EDIT: Nevermind. Took all of 10 minutes to change the image colors in Gimp. Beautiful.

EDIT: Except for the highlight color when inside a Conversations child window? It's still the old color.
