After coderus, has supplied me with the files I needed (thanks coderus), I think it's time to do an early release of my theme. I would love feedback, suggestions. Also I would love to know what icons you would like for the theme (as the icons it uses are very different from the normal meego icons, if you can supply the default icon and the .desktop file that would be great.

Instructions:
1) extract contents to /home/user/.simpleThemer
2) using devel-su then devel-sh, set the scripts to be exectuable
3) using devel-su run simpleBlue.sh .

To revert back to Blanco simply run the restoreBlanco.sh script using devel-su.

So far I've only done icons for default apps (plus one or two others). Please let me know what apps you use so I can make icons for them.


Note the different border/shape of contacts in second picture.same border is used for notifications. This is an early release, so be gentle. Unfortunately, the creation of bookmarks does not use this shape. Also I can't seem to change the splash screen for the music or video applications which is something I would like to do.

Feel free to create your own theme and package it with this (fairly straight forward to edit the shell script).

Download: link taken down, contact me for download link

Still more to come, but with other things development might be slow, wanted to get something out there and start taking icon requests.

Changes from 0.1 to 0.2:
  • clock, documents, feeds, notes, calendar.
  • accidentally had a couple important lines commented out in the simpleBlue.sh script, sorry

hi is there any way to make the theme work with themechanger. since i've other themes on my device (F.D.B & cyan) it would make it easier to switch between all the themes instead of running the script every now and then.

thanks.

Great work. Have started producing icons and then stopped. Need to invest some time into this.

Unfortunately I can't , my script changes .desktop files, not just the current theme. This is to get more icons to switch over to my icons (all theme changer does is change the current theme value).
Althoguh this could be used with my theme, just copy the simpleBlue folder into the /usr/share/themes/ folder, not all the icons will change (games, and a couple of others) due to icon location being inconsistent.

NEW version: changes to several things, such as calendar, clock, and minor changes to notes, feeds ad documents. See original post for download

Great job, only if we could do third party icons easily

Thank you for taking the time to make a deb file. My only concern with it is the third party icon support. but for a basic theme the deb file is great.
I'll make an update to the blue theme when I get some time (i've added some stuff since).
