N9 MeeGo Harmattan Theme Pack "Faster Darker Better" v7.6 (7/10/12)
 

F2thaK Dezigns would like to announce:
"Faster, Darker, Better" Theme Pack for the Nokia N9!



YOU MUST READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE INSTALLING, OR YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR DEVICE.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR, OR BY YOUR DEVICE IN ANY WAY.



This is a set of dark themes for the N9. They are similar to the standard theme, but have constant dark Backgrounds and light Fonts across every possible Application including the Virtual Keyboard.

The themes also have added haptic feedback, custom transitions, tweaked rotation sensitivity, plus much, much more !!

These themes are fully compatible with all PR Updates up to and including PR1.3. They are also compatible with N9QTweak and Homescreen Settings. (Maybe not with every single tweak though)

Themes include Clock UI MOD, Faster Transitions MOD, Standby Screen MOD and Phone UI MOD.


You have 3 colours to choose from:
- Original (Similar to standard, but all Dark Grey)
- Blue
- Red

WARNING:
These Themes are perfectly stable - AS LONG AS INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED EXACTLY.

If you do NOT install it correctly, it will NOT work - PLUS it will mess up the standard theme AND you will need to do a manual restore or reflash your device!!!

If you do not know what flashing is and/or are unable to do it yourself - Install the DEB(s). Just take note that it is NOT the complete theme.
Some files have been left out for now due to packaging issues. (Boot logo, Clock, Maps, and Splash screen MODs)


Currently, I do not provide guaranteed technical support.
I am working on packaging the complete theme as a DEB.

Download Full Version

Bugs:
(present in current version)

- Some 3rd Party Apps fonts unreadable (Themes need inverting)
- Third Party caller info not visible in dialer (FIxed?)
- Minor graphic glitch in clock app
- Ovi Store app: text edit text and toolbar icons are dark
- Changing themes can cause a bug which may cause the emoticons to corrupt and show as orange squares. There seems to be a solution to this. See here.


Please report any bugs or feature requests in this thread.

Re: [Announce] Dark Theme for Clock & Conversations
 

were is the ZIP file ? ;)

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

does it work now? Without flashing I mean lol

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Nervous about trying this until other people do. But could be awesome, and save battery life!

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Yes it does....
Put this and the faster transitions mod together and they both look good...

I'm not a fan of the color of the text bubbles in the messages app... any way to change that?


remember unpack the zip into your MyDocs folder

terminal
Devel-Su
rootme
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
cp -R usr/ /
reboot

Editing post to f2thak, found a couple of problems, just want to mention them to you...

In the first one I think it's self explanatory, in the second one I typed hey, but nothing shows...

In messages contact names barely show as well, they are the same color as new text message in the second pic

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

How to put them together?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Trying something out, give me a few minutes...

I'd stay away from this mod, till the writing in texts and emails becomes visible, no offense to f2thak... this is the problem I see with it now.
Unless godofwar424 knows how to fix that....

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Well I have been trying to fix that issue but it seems deeper then something i can do :( Not going to be a simple fix, the reason this is, is because Nokia use set values for everything, meaning we can't specify individual values for individual areas of apps :/

This results in the white/invisible text bug, and the hard to see white writing on the grey background error..

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

How do we change it back to black then, the writing i mean?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Well go into /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/constants.ini

And at the very top is the Palette settings, Change the foreground option to #000000

To revert to the original white background which seems to work the best, make the background option under the Palette settings = #c8c8c8

This does mean the text will be hard/impossible to read on black backgrounds though, hence the limitation of this mod :(

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Doesn't that give me white text? It's currently set at white text and #ffffff, what is the code for black?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

#000000 is for black

Ahh my bad i put the wrong values, very tired, about to go to bed, correcting them now!

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Code for silver?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

You could always try having foreground set to #c8c8c8 or a slightly darker grey which would be readable on both the black and white background, or just use a colour, such as:

Lime green - #7cf804
Blue - #047bf7
Red - #d1001a

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Where do you get these codes from, is there a list?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Silver is - c8baf8

http://www.color-hex.com/

That site helps with colour codes, I am off to bed 2am here, got a busy day, ill post more tomorrow, and ill investigate more into these mods over the weekend, got a busy week

Good luck, let me know if you find a decent colour for the writing!

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Will Do! Thanks for the help

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

No problem, best way to show thanks is that thanks button in the corner or each post :)

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Got it working with red #ff0000

Edit: I wish I knew how to change the color of the bubbles... that would make things so much easier.

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

yes, theres much work to be done

I already know how to fix the messages bug (where you write message)

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

the bubbles are images, I used photoshop :D

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

If you can fix that, it would be a pretty good theme....

Also how do I get the original bubble colors back?

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

I have backup of bubbles, but I have to go back to work.

Will upload them when I get home, in about 4 hours.

Vid on the way, keep an eye out here

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Thanks!

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Re: [Announce] GLOBAL Dark Theme
 

Heres the original conversations bubbles Arie

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

New version.

Fixes for conversations and terminal.

See first post.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Hi thanks for the theme. However could you also upload the original /usr folder for easy restoration and for a better comparison.

Thanks and i'm a fan of your work.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Just to confirm. Is this a global theme or just for conversations and clock?

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Its global, meaning it affects Calendar, Email, Terminal and Messaging

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Might be worth making a warning/bug list so that people don;t assume its finished, because atm the hard to see text bugs in email and calendar make this mod unusable for everyday.

Any progress on these bugs, I seem to have hit a dead end :(

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

this is not complete yet because some text are very hard to see... so what next? thanks.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

At some stage I will make it a separate theme, selectable with Theme Changer app.



---




Im confident this will be fixed today.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Version 1.2 Released

Changelog:
- Fixed List backgrounds
- Fixes to Mail app

See first post.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Mail app and Calendar app still not possible to add details to an event in calendar or to see the text when composing an email.

Also I would recommend making your Button_Foreground in Constants.ini to #000000 as it makes the button writing black and thus more visible.

Making great progress :)

ps. it seems any changes over stock seem to add a bit of lag to conversations :(

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

On my device I have white/grey text on black background. Maybe I left a file out of the update...


Edit: I left 2 out. :o
New version out including the Mail app fixes.

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

when using the non-skype keyboard, i can't see hinted text, it's while on white. great work on this btw :)

I will be fixing this tonight, its on my to-do list

Re: [RE-Announce] Dark Theme for N9
 

Awesome, going to test now :)

Re: [Announce] Dark Theme for N9 (Conversations, Mail, Phone, etc.)
 

I wonder if there's a way we can just kill and restart a process to apply the new theme instead of rebooting the while device? Similar to how on our N900 we could kill the rtcom-messaging-ui and then it would apply the new theme when we reopened it.
