(project) assassins-blue theme
 

hi,
i have recently had a go at buildin a theme (quite blindly i must add; just file swapping etc) based on assassin's creed an the alpha them (i like the blue) so far my n900 recognises it etc but the wallpapers don't load just the standard ones, here's the linkhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/19212022/assassin-blue.tar.gz i would be very grateful if someone could tell me where i've fudged up,
i also with to eventually build upon this with more mods an possible move on to makin matchin icons but for now the d4rk ones work really nice (thanks d4rklar)
an here's a sample

Your .../backgrounds/theme_bg.desktop file hasn't been changed to point towards your new theme's backgrounds (though I see you changed parts of it, so that's good, you're on the right track.

If you open it up, you'll see that it says:
You have to change the "alpha" to whatever folder you're putting assassins-blue into. (alpha is what the default blue N900 theme is called inside the N900 filesystem, but I suspect you've figured that out already.) Yeah, you know what Alpha theme is, as I just realized on rereading your post.

For example, if the name of the folder you're putting inside .../themes/ is "assassins-blue", then the paths should be:

/usr/share/themes/assassins-blue/backgrounds/wallpaper[1-4].png

(Maybe one of these days I should post my little modifications to system icons and the Marina theme that I made.)

thanks dude knew it would be summat silly, i may rename this thread tomoz for people to upload project themes for help n testin etc

Happy to help.

Fiddling with themes was the first modification I made to my N900 by myself - it's a good starting point, I think, at least if you're using X-Term to do it, because it familiarizes you with the shell without you having to do the serious things that are actually risky.

Anyway, good luck.

Re: (project) assassins-blue theme
 

I really like your idea of an assassins creed theme, I'm a huge fan of the games.

Just one question, why not the original colours white, red and black as used in the games?

I hope that you still work on this theme and i'm looking forward to any changes.

hi all tbh i've have no experience of theme building, had many errors like highlighted items (e.g. which profile was selected is usual highlighted in the themes colour but alas mine f-d up) an have kinda given up (recent break up with fiancée has sapped my inspiration) if anyone would like to continue you are more than welcome an i will assist where i can,
an colour choice was because i love darker themes any distro of Linux that i happen to be running at that time end up with this theme

On this site are some great assassins creed backgrounds fitting the N900's screen.

With the awesome m4riNa theme it's looking great.
