N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

All

Starting this thread to collect all the possible customisations that we can do around themes and icons. I am not an experience theme maker but from what I can see the N9 has no options at the moment to change the theme. I hope someone else can contribute to themes but i am willing to help where my design skills can come in handy.

Icons though work as per the N900. Install filebox from the Ovi Store and go to

to find all the icons.

Fonts can be found in What are peoples thoughts/impressions on what new icons should look like. I am not a fan of the symbian fonts used in the N9 so looking to change the core system icons right away. I liked the early meego icons that were presented here:

Please share ideas/requests and lets start a community effort to customise the N9's UI in anyway we possibly can.

If I wanted to change the icon of one of the web shortcuts would I look for it there? Issue is that the website didn't have a favicon so the N9 just used the generic browser icon, which is not very pretty.

Re: N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

Unsure about the favicon. Haven't had a chance to explore the contents of webshortcuts.

Although I did find this site reference on meego.com. Someone created a tool for creating your own icons.

To change the name of a thumping open here

Icon is stored here with a random name
Theme elements are stored in various css files, so it would take forever to make an actual theme.

The good news is if you wanted to MeeGo has many more elements that can be themed.

For example the low power mode can have a logo on it and the colour of the text can be changed

Web Developers can create there own favicons that will be usuable on the N9, by following this guide

The custom icons are stored there, yes. The trouble is I want to create a new icon for a web page shortcut that has no icon of its own - so that it is displayed with the same icon as the web browser. How do I create an icon for that link?

Re: N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

I just created my own, make a squarcle of the webpage logo and replace the file in that folder

Re: N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

Trouble is, the folder

only contains icons that already exist for the web apps. If the web app only has a default applied icon, basically the same icon that the web browser has, there is no icon in that folder corresponding to it. My issue is figuring out how to create a new icon for the web app that doesn't already have one, not create a replacement icon for a web app that already has one.

Re: N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

I quite like the icons on N9........

Re: N9 - Themes and Icon Customisation
 

Is there someone working on this? The good news is that themes are inheritable so you dont need to start a theme from scratch. There's also a set of templates (svg) files in meegotoutch-theme-graphics git repo to create images and icons...
