Hello jankoboys6,

Transparency is really a knife with two edges for me :(

It is a feature that was asked from me over and over. The thing is that it is not an actual lag but a surface clipping that however gives the impression of lag.

To be more specific:

In phone and contacts, I am using transparency AND a carbon-like underlay (check closely and you will see). For some reason this underlay is working somehow like a background that prevents visual clipping.

On the rest menus however, I was obliged to use a non-aligned image which keeps the alarm-time area transparent, but is also leaving the menus without that underlay.

I had two choices: either leave full transparency like it is, or use a static image as a background (not black).

I'm planning to keep it transparent for now and maybe I'll manage to make scrolling on settings smoother. I'm also checking to revert back the "white text" issue.

Hello Rootax,

I did not make a version with % battery, because I didn't really think it fits the rest of the theme.

I usually like clean, minimal design. However Crystal does support CM7's percentage mod. ;)

Beautiful Theme, Excellent Work, Thanks so much for sharing :)
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
I have been on a SENSE ROM (SSV7.5) for a while, but now I am back with an AOSP ROM and of course, without a doubt, had to install your theme.

one word: AMAZING

You just keep out doing yourself. The EVO Shift forums (were I'm residing) loves this theme! As always, keep up the great work...

Hello rhodiggah,

Wow last time I remember my DHD having a sense rom, was 5 days since I bought it! It's been months since :D

Thank you for your kind words mate, transparency brought some issues, but will be ironed out in most of its part uppon the next update.

Just checked your requests, I am pretty sure I have themed Tapatalk, and it's launcher icon ;)

For the rest, I have almost everything except getjar (if you can send me a link, I would be grateful).

Also by sportacular, you mean this application?

Hello bosstab,

well that is indeed weird, I need to investigate it a bit more :confused:

Transparency bug in default browser when in menu then more then try scroling. All invisible.
[Android Themes] jankoboys6:
I'm very grateful for the explanation on this matter. I hope you will manage to solve this issues in the future and become a "transparency master" :P All the other features are working well also the transitions in settings menus feels very smooth and good.

For now I use the stock theme mostly because of the "white text" but I have faith in your abilities and good mood to solve this so we would be able to use it again. Still I'm using your morph which is my favorite and I'm looking forward to still using it in the future.

PS: When I don't have a good advice to solve a problem I just try to encourage them to do their best ^_^
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello vr5411,

Well I'm happy because I managed to fix both the faded/white letter and the white scroll overlay bug.

v2.4 will be released on Sunday though, in order to test more things and improve transparency (and not to forget new launcher icons and several other changes)

Hello jankoboys6,

I have already solved most issues (check half post above ;) )

Visual clipping in "Settings" still bothers me though. After applying some possible fixes, it feels a bit smoother but its still there :mad:

[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello typischandy,

This is a common issue that will be solved uppon the next update (Sunday). Read a couple of the above posts and you will see for yourself. ;)

I'll check your icons and see which can be included for the next update.

Making an icon is easy (if you have basic skills on Photoshop or Gimp etc), but I am not quite sure how will you be able to include it inside the theme.

Crystal cannot be decompiled/recompiled properly with apktool.

[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
Yeah for some reason my Tapatalk is not themed? Could it be bec. it was a "sideload" install and not through the market? Does it matter if it's located in system/app or data/app?

Stumped!

[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello rhodiggah,

It does not matter if the application is located in /system/app or /data/app. The only case tapatalk is not themed, may be due to an altered package name.

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] rhodiggah:
Is it possible to rename the package name using Root Explorer?

If so, are you able to provide the exact package name?

here is my version of tapatalk: com.quoord.tapatalksumsang.activity-1.apk
[Android Themes] phani88:
u didn't reply 2 me please give a reply :(
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Yeap the package name is different. Normal tapatalk has >>> com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity.

Package name is coded in the AndroidManifest.xml and cannot be changed through Root Explorer :(

Hello phani88,

As with all icon requests, I'll try to include as many possible in this update and the rest on the upcoming ones ;)

I installed the Crystal theme yesterday, and then it started snowing and my house lost power. Not sure if it's related...
[Android Themes] mikeinessex:
do you get your head kicked in alot when your out?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello everyone,

v2.4 is out (full changelog on 2nd post).

Most important changes are:

-fixed the "white/faded" text bug

-fixed the "white overlay scroll" bug

-fixed the "blank top stripe" bug

Also I had to rework the radio interface due to a recent change in CM7 nightlies (#241 for most devices), that split the background in several drawables.

That change DID NOT help a lot so now the radio interface is a WIP... :mad:

Also another cosmetic change was made in the application top tabs' drawables (a bit darker, credits for the recommendation to xda member mikeinessex).

Last but not least, the addition of 30+ new launcher icons.

Remember that reboot is obligatory, after applying the theme.

Use it, check for bugs and Enjoy!

D_d

PS: Here in Greece its 1:00am so I guess I'm only one hour off the deadline :P
[Android Themes] mikeinessex:
great work about to try it out now mate will get back with my thoughts which im sure will be great
[Android Themes] ^Deadly_Sin^:
Once again well done :) i'll have to check it out a bit more to see if everything looks ok.

Also i got a request: you themed the icon for temp+cpu free/pro but is there any way you can also theme the widget too? You know, give it the glass looking background and cyan letters, the crystal way :cool:
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello ^Deadly_Sin^,

Well I need to take a look at this and see how it can be themed. I'm sure that the background can easily be changed, but I keep my precautions for the letters ;)

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] mikeinessex:
love the dark tabs mate. alot nicer. good work
[Android Themes] nyonya:
Thanks for the update D_d! Everything looks great, this theme is fantastic. Just wondering if you've made any progress on theming the widgets for FlightView Free and Audiomanager or Volume Ace? Those are the only things keeping my homescreens from looking perfectly, well, Crystal!

Thanks for all your work, and if it's impossible to theme the widgets, then forget about it :)

Thanx a lottttttttttttttt

and not to mention NICE SENSE OF HUMOUR :D
[Android Themes] the337:
This is an awesome theme. I just started using it and it's probably my favorite so far out of all the ones I've used in the past. The one request I guess I would make is a themed keyboard. That would just be icing on the cake.

Also, are you looking for suggestions for more apps to theme or do you just theme them as you go? You've managed to get probably 80% of the ones I use which is amazing.
[Android Themes] moorecp:
I am running 2.4 from the market. Any unread emails in the GMail app are still listed with black text on a black background, so the subjects are unreadable until they are marked as read.

You might need to uninstall the theme and then reinstall it and reboot your phone. I have 2.4 and the latest gmail and I don't have any trouble seeing unread emails.

Why is indicated me JuiceDefender Ultimate and Fancy Widget Pro not as a Theme App, but quite normally, although both stand in the list?

Thanks for help!
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello nyonya,

For now I only checked Audiomanager which, for some reason, FC's when i try to add it in the main screen :S

This week seems to be quiet though and I will be able to check all of these. ;)

Hello the337,

At first I just wanted to keep the stock looks of the keyboard, because I really liked it, but now I'm having second thoughts of maybe making it a bit darker ;)

For now I stopped adding fully themed applications (in order to keep the size down for devices with lower internal), but you can ask for any launcher icon or widget :D

Hello moorecp,

Remember that Crystal is applying theming in a wide range of icons and drawables and therefore reboot is obligatory! (in order for the changes to have full effect)

Hello phani88,

First of all I would like to ask you to remove the attached .apks. I'm sure you have attached them in good faith, but most of them are considered warez (paid) and this is against the rules here ;)

Now for the icons: I cannot promise you that all of these will be included on the upcoming update, but I'll try to include the most.

Regards to all, D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello typischandy,

in the list, only juice defender (not juice defender plus or ultimate) is stated which is the package name of the free app.

Fancy widgets' icon is themed as stated (again the free app and NOT the unlocker)

Remember that the list you are checking is the themed launcher icons and not fully themed applications ;)

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] the337:
Hi dark dog. I appreciate the reply and your work. When I spoke of the apps I really meant just the icons and not completely themed apps. I like the stock look of the keyboard as well and if you choose to keep it stock that's perfectly fine with me. I think if you put the cyan color as the letters instead of the white it would look good as well. :)
[Android Themes] phani88:
Removed warez and kept genuine free apps plz plz do theme them and if possible theme absolute system root tool and rocket dial :o :o :o
[Android Themes] moorecp:
I've tried:

Rebooting

Uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling and rebooting

Removing the system morph and then doing the above

The above but also with a cache clear

I still have the issue that in some apps (GMail unread messages being the most obvious) that I have items with a black background and black text.

Any other thoughts?
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Hello moorecp,

You have the latest version of the theme (v2.4) right?

All of these issues where fixed (I'm sure about 99%) :confused:

Which mod are you using? (Pure cm7 or some other variant?)

Regards, D_d
[Android Themes] moorecp:
I'm using the latest version from the market, so it should be 2.4. I'm running a recent nightly of CM7 for the Droid X (the Gingerbread kernel version).

*Edit*

It appears to be related to running a custom density. At 240, everything looks as expected. At 160, things start to get all weird. I realize that 160 is way different than the DX's normal 240 (and is no longer a supported HDPI density), so I don't expect everything to work perfectly.

For those playing along at home and are curious, 180, 170, and even 161 all look as expected. It just seems to break at 160.

Did this issue appeared, after the tranparent update? If yes, I think we can try out a couple of things :D

Hello cy-rock,

The morphs will not work properly, unless you have an HDPI or MDPI device. You seem to have a qHD device, which is not supported (yet) by the morphs.

Hello Sir_gpm,

Which mod are you using? The theme is proved to work properly on mdpi devices. :mad:

Hello ronaldvalles,

Well this is weird, because I also use Crystal in my x10 mini (powered by MiniCM7-2.1.3) and it is running extremely fast and smooth.

Also the so-called "lag" (which is not actually lag..) on settings menu, does not exist in Mini.

The clipping that most of you experience is an improper background rendering (mini has a 2.6" screen and that's why it renders easier)

Regards to all, D_d

Thx for the quick answer.

You are right i actually have a Motorolla Atrix...but i'm pleased everything else tho.

Hello Sir_gpm,

I had a look at the rom's thread and it seems that it is based in an old CM base, or has several changes in resources.

I always follow the latest commits and update the parts that are actually updated by CyanoenMod.

Hello ^Deadly_Sin^,

Could you, by any chance, have changed the screen density? I had a report earlier that the background drawables (that are used for the transparent menus), do not act well with lower density.

Regards on both, D_d
[Android Themes] DaRk_dOg:
Yeap I also think that original density is 160dpi.

Background drawables may need some scaling for the mdpi devices :S
