I'm working on a Sailfish OS theme for Nokia N9. So far mainly on icons, not sure yet how much of a UI customization I'll do. Icons are inspired by recent Jolla-in-action videos and my own imagination of what they could look like. All of them are available in 500x500px resolution & 3rd party apps are supported as well (as far as possible).





& Jolla intro Bootscreen

I'm a bit experienced with CSS, but haven't worked yet on CSS layouts used in Harmattan. But seeing that there are people around like "DJJonosound" (with that amazing looking iOS7 theme) I hope I can get some answers

-What's the best way to distribute & use such a theme? Theme Settings by Vesa Halttunen? (excl. the Boot up intro)

-Is there a risk to break the system while "playing" with CSS layouts? Any possibility to avoid it? I'm not in a big mood to re-flash the device to often

Ideas or suggestions are always welcome - of course also desired 3rd party app icons (next to the ones already on the picture).

Apparently I am famous now
If you need any help just send me PM.

To answer some of your questions:
Distribution - Package as deb file that installs the files into /usr/share/themes and then the theme will be picked up in the theme settings app (Can also be manually done with a zip file)

Breaking - I am fluent with CSS, but from what I have seen in harmattan css in some cases identifiers dont work, so if you end up putting one in that isnt supported, yes you can break the device easily. Keep flasher open and just use R&D and SSH to patch to a stable theme. (I have a few themes installed that I can always fall back on.)

Hope that helps you

Thanks for your reply! Both answers actually help a lot. Once I'm done with the app/system icons, I'm going to have a closer look at those CSS files - let's see how that will work out

The CSS files are the tricky part. The tags are definitely not the most logical :P

I really love the Jolla icons

I can help you packaging to deb. I already make something similar (not so precise as yours):

1. @DJJonosound and @caprico it would be great and easy for people to install deb..
Thanks @flotron
2. One more thing @DJJonosound and @caprico why not make another version with only icon mod.. Black bg would look great on both ios and sailfish themes
3. @flotron why don't u integrate your sailfish theme in theme changer!!!
It would be easy!!!

yeah someone should provide a deb. to lazy tweak with zip.

With all respect to the icon designers, you rock

If he want to make a complete mod of the interface, it is impossible with theme changer.
Theme changer mod limited things like icons

Deb for my theme is on its way. And no, I am not forking and making multiple versions. Not worth the effort on my behalf. I will however do two versions for.. I will post that later
