AL,

Hi .. can you fix the superposed icon? (see screenshot attached) I saw on the latest nightly build from Quarx ( cm7 23-Sep-2012) that when you swipe down the status bar, you just see centered date (like JB) maybe you could implement the same feature :)

check it out .. http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy/

EDIT: HOW to change the colour keyboard? I don't like blue in sms :(
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Post #5 (back in June):

"...There are many little glitches I can still see like the date on the statusbar [2nd pic - oups! I changer that screenshot...anyway ...] when the notification panel is down..."

I've asked around about this to the theming gurus (Dark Knight, MrDSL, kevin2516 and Zdune25) and apparently there's no easy way to change the transparency level behing the date when the notification pannel is down. So you'll notice that if the statusbar transparency is at 20%, the date also add another 20% on top on the left side. Quarx went around that by making the statusbar completly black when pulled down (hiding all the notification icons)... something which I don't know how to do yet...

As far as the centered date goes, I don't like it that much and I know that it creates other icons display problems if we leave the semi-transparency - Cocolopes could attest of that I believe.

So I guess that the answer is that I'll keep investigating in order to get the bar non-transparent when pulled down first...

Centered date, maybe later...

Edit: in fact, don't forget that Theme Chooser has some limitations: it cannot do tweaks like date centering or change things set in layout xmls. In other words, Quarx can do things within the rom that Theme Chooser can't. You can search around to find out how to modify your build's Framework-res-apk and SystemUI.apk to do such things...

As for the keyboard; check post #7...

It's a lot of work to get the buttons perfect looking because of the different stretching levels between portrait and landscape mode. But if you keep the design simple, it is a fairly easy thing to do. You should give it a go; give me at least one light and one dark button design (just change a blue one and one black one from that post to whatever you like) and I'll do the rest and compile another version of the theme for you.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Well, I've made allusion to it many times before, but this time might be the last update that I post for this theme.

I'm running out of ideas on what to theme next (well,,, almost - I never really do but...) and seeing such the huge, greatful and constructive participation of other forum members here [being sarcastic here - needless to say], it's time for me to let this thread die in peace.

So here it is: WizAL_v1.8 (final?) that will replace v1.7 which had a few things sub-par and not quite to my taste/quality standards.

Changelog:

Camera:	- fixed the bigger shutter/record button that was stretched vertically;
- retouched a couple settings icons;

FM radio: - new statusbar icon for when the radio is muted
(a new feature to come in maniac103's next build ;-p );

Email	- top bar for previous/next email colored blue w white/dark arrow;
- new attachement thumbnail and a new "Quoted text" banner color;

Settings: - changed the wifi icon to match the new powerwidget and statusbar ones;

Skype:	- colored the 5 skypebar status (presence) icons (from all white);
- made all the "offline" status icons grey with a "X" so that it is
different than (as it should be) the "invisible" status one;
- colored many small chat icons for file transfer and in/outgoing calls;

SMS:	- made a new, fast blinking statusbar animation for failed sms sending

Well, I guess that this thread ain't quite dead yet...

Here's another update to v1.9 for the few of you that might enjoy the theme so far.

Once again a reasonable size update, but if you wonder, my wip folder for this update

contains over 1200 pics, screenshoots and temp files...

That should give you an indication of how much thought/work goes into just a few theme changes...

Thanks anyone?!?

Another app suggestion or two for you:

I strongly recommend you trying out two tweaks that I've put together for cm7:

Phone.apk and Mms.apk that I've posted HERE.

You'll get bigger contact pictures see pic 1] in dialer and 7 lines sms compose window size

and the keyboard return key instead of that useless smileys key. ;-P

As usual, here's the changelog for this update:

Changelog for v1.9

- PokerKingBlue (icon only);
- Flashlight power widget button;
- Hold and unhold Phone/Dialer's buttons [pic 1];
- 1x, E, 3G, H and 4G data traffic statusbar icons;
- FM mute icon (revisit);
- RootExplorer's folders and app icons [pic 2];
- Toasts popups [pic 2];
- Dropbox 2 main folders icons [pic 3];
- Mms, Contacts, Phone and Tapatalk's default 'unknown' contact picture [pic 3];
- Replaced 'My apps' Playstore's icon;
- Astro blue theme [pic 4] (I use an older version - not tested on latest v.);
- progressbar horizontal (volume sliders or download progress bar) [pic on OP];
- Music app icon and statusbar icon (revisit);
- PoliceLightsFree (icon only);
- Jango widget background (revisit) [pic 5];
- DroidWall's wifi/data column icons and "Apply" button;
- doubled (w + h) the size of DicePlayer playback control buttons;
- Google Translate's menu buttons;
- Battery circle mod* (set battery display to default - not %) [all pics];

*: Credits/thanks goes to Fightspit [http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2574719] for his original

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
OK, it took a few weeks, but I finally did manage to fix the statusbar date overlap when the notification panel is pulled down:

I've removed it completely from there and moved it below the powerwidgets using Achep's JB-style layout :victory:

Like I told you before, this can not be done with CM7 theme chooser and it requires some tweaking of the SystemUI.apk file.

So -if interested- go read my post#2 here for more details.

Bonus: since we do not see frequent nightly build updates recently, I've attached a flashable zip there that will work

on Maniac103's last 2 builds dates:

2012OCT25 and 2012NOV07 (for plus and non-plus builds) ONLY

Here's a preview screenshot.

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Well, suprisingly maybe, here's another update.

No big response here...no one likes this theme or what?

But anyway, I post this mainly because I want to leave the theme behind one day and feel that it was at a decent state/level of completeness.

So nothing too exciting visually, but still, I've put quite a lot of work into it.

The main change is all the "ic_menu_" icons (everything you get by pressing the menu button).

Resizing and recoloring them to black. This (the resizing) is not the perfect way to do it, but it's a good

trade off for the theme's consistency: no more big&small / grey menu icons.

That is over 125 of them and with all (well.. hopefully) the related apps' xml entries, that means quite a few changes

[see the apps changelog on OP and the pic for a

partial

view of the changes..];

Other noticable changes:

- new camera and videocam shutter buttons;

- recentered radio butons (not radio app but selection buttons), more & less buttons and spinners;

- themed CalcBuddy app (1st draft of a skin for it) to match my custom icon;

- a few ohers miscellaneous visual fixes;

Here to the OP for instructions and download

- - - - -

EDIT_1: Dang! I forogot PlayerPro... :mad: I will verify others and update later on today (January 4th) - sorry about that:good:

EDIT_2: I've found a way to fix most of the 'resizing' glitches I mentioned earlier; I will fix that too.... but over 60 pics still to process - so hang on..

And there's no sorry at poker :P
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
OK,

after MANY clicks..., I uploaded V2.0-B more worth of it's badge...

Still not perfect -I still see some greyish areas here and there- but it's much more consistent.

Lesson learned, first v2.0 should never have been posted; never do rush jobs and resive up and adjust B/W&C... :p

and while at it..

retouched/added:

- CpuSpy;

- PlayerPro

- Calendar

- Tapatalk pro

- ...

Theming never sleeps :eek:

Enjoy!

Everyone should try this keyboard

Hey guys,

Thanks to bhupatib that made the suggestion here [go thank him there], I've recently discovered the excellent Kii keyboard.

Seriously, this app is the bomb!!; it's the best Andrdoid keyboard replacement that I've tried.

The list of options is endless but just to name a few, you can adjust just about everything on it: click sound/volume,

key size, spacing, font type/size/color, buit in themes, extra downloadable dictionaries, ..., ... and it has a very good gesture (swype-like)

input method. It's not the JB keyboard with Google off-line voice recognition, but aside from that, it is almost perfect and I even prefer it to swype -hands down.

There will be premium features, but as of now, they are still in beta stage and everything is unlocked. I had a couple visual glitches with it a couple days ago, but thanks to an active developement from their dev team, there has been 2 updates since then and those have been solved. Almost everything is bug free now and I could keep it as is as a daily driver. This is no apk that requires internet connection to work, so if you see what I mean... rush to grab a copy of this app before the premium features are looked in and require your $$... ;)

Why do I talk about this here?

Well I'm sure that if you read any of this thread, you can guess it right: I've themed it.

It's a work in progress, but after many tweak/compile/install/test/retweak itterations, I've finally optimized the key size for maximum tweaking possibilities. I mean make it so that you don't have to [like with their default themes] adjust both key size and font size to avoid visual glitches [like the "W" too wide for the key width] and seriously, who still wants to see those uggly small Chicklets-like keys from GB? [pic 3].

So this will not go on the OP yet [hence the attachment here and the beta tag] until I'm fully happy with it (which sometimes never fully happen, but...), but I'm excited to share it as it is now anyway...

Before you try the keyboard with my theme on, try it out on your cm7 current setup and fiddle with its various settings. Then install and apply my theme (and reboot) and go have another try at it by selecting the "GingerBread" built in theme. Now look into the kb settings again; you're in for some theming magic :laugh: (hint: bye-bye beta hints and premium banners!!).

And that's not all!!! Since a couple people asked me before, I've even made a second skin for it (and the default cm7 kb) replacing my regular blue one.

[fit's your taste more Cocolopes?... and juan296 -to which the long post #2 was partly for also... no reply ]

As for the rest, well I kept on fixing the appearance and choices of the ic_menu icons mentioned above for 2.0 and 2.0-B and added 5-6 more apps in for that matter [I will update the OP's changelog about this eventually...].

So what do you think; which one should take the default kb spot in WizAL theme: the new blue keyboard or the dark one?

You have to try them out both to see the resizing on clicks and color accents on your phone to really get an idea - but here are 2 screenshots anyway..

Cheers,

/AL

Number of replies to your threads and posts is too damn low :/

Thank you for the continued work and efforts and I'll definitely be sure to test the Kii keyboard!

Cheers, Al! :cowboy:
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Thanks, I feel that way also :( ;) - at least for this thread at least...

I know theming ain't that hard and everyone can have a go at it, but come on!...

It would be nice that 'Defy people' (:p) share theming ideas or at least comment on what I've proposed...

I don't want to slap my own back, but I did try my best to make people participate and join in here.

Have you seen many theme thread bringing things like:

- my dialer [pretty cool -I believe];

- a couple decent statusbar animations (dropbox, downloads, missed call/sms/mms, ...);

- revisited ICS installation progressbar animation;

- blue fm radio with revamped scanning animation;

- nice touches to the default camera (shutters, radio buttons, options tiny on screen icons, recording indicator, ...)

- using the oversized seek glow from PlayerPro to Dice player was pretty neat...;

and so on...there are pretty much 4 pages of them...

Cm7's highlife time 'might' be a thing of the past (for most by not all; not me at least), but again and still: some members' feedback would have been nice and also helpful to fix glitches faster sometimes... Even if on ICS, JB or other non-cm7 theme chooser roms, still possible to download and open up my theme...

Many people PM'd me for guidance on decompiling/compiling apks, but themeing is a much easier place to start and fun to make your phone the way you like; too bad again that people do not use the forum more constructively and collectively.

Build it and they will come...

I keep building but no one wants to play ball...

But I don't care that much; I'd rather have no replies that thankless requests of people that do not read...

Thanks again for your reply ;)

can i use this on cm10

these themes are awesome, can i use this on cm10.
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

I've tried CM10, but just like for ICS, there are to many things about it that I don't like... So I will not go over ~1500 pics renaming/tweaking and all the corresponding XML entries just for the sake of making it for cm10... Sorry...

Dang! I like the look my new keyboards!! :P

(see a few posts earlier)
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
- all those freakin 'ic_menu_' files AGAIN!!... 4th or 5th times I redo them all (150+ of them);

- more optimization of the keyboard for both stock Android kb and Kii kb and new eye candy on key presses;

- fixes many of the light blue (pressed) buttons' 9-patches;

- Changed PowerMenu icons to black [pic 2] -like all the ic_menu ones;

- Menu key popup background and the general light popups' background colour changed to green [pic 2 and 3]
--> the white color is just too bright at night (even when screen is dimmed very low) for my taste, so after trying
a few shades of blue and grey, I've finally settled for green -but will not touch the white of the notification panel for now...;

- Dialer's buttons when pressed;

- little extras like the attachment thumbnails paperclip [pic 4] and LocusPro GPS radar's look [pic 5];
- ...stuff I forgot (almost 1 or 2 misc fixes daily...)

Overall since the last theme releasee from OP:

- around 200 pngs re-edited or added;

- 15 apk xmls edited or added

- a good 12+ hours of work on this....

Like always I got no users feedback...:rolleyes:; so the blue keyboard is still the main one for the theme...

Get to the OP on your own for download :mad:

Last pic?: it was just among my theme related ones, so I've included it just to remind people to "keep the rubber down". :laugh:

best theme for cm7....but whenever i activate render effects,status bar shows shadow of date,shadows of network battery icons....though after disabling effects status bar comes back to normal...:confused:
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Finally! some constructive feedback: thanks!!

OK, I had a try at a few render effects but did not see anything unusua... Could you share more details:

- which theme version?;

- which render effect?;

- did you tweak SustemUI.apk to get a transparent statusbar?;

- any other mod applied to statusbar?;

- any screenshot showing this glitch you could share here?

And just between you and me (;p), I'm working on a new version which will bring quite a few colour changes, a USB animation, changes to battery charging display and more ...almost ready but I want to testdrive it for a while before release...

Cheers! and I wait for more info from you and look into this render thing again.

Thanks again for your feedback.

/AL

Edit: sorry but I got to ask: you did reboot after applying the theme -right?
[Defy Themes and Apps] jokermithun:
i didnt apply any mod and tweaks....offcourse i rebooted after applying ur theme...this weird thing happens on all ur theme version including latest....funny thing is screenshots shows normal statusbar:confused:

[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
OK well, I'll keep it in mind and investigate further eventually... I'm still not quite sure how that looks because it's fine here with renderering, but I do use a transparent statusbar...

Why the late reply? Well, I spent most of the free time I had on this:

* * * * * * * * NEW THEME VERSION AVAILABLE * * * * * * *

Cocolopes asked for it on post #6 [some 7 months ago...], better late than never... so here it is:

WizAL_v2.4-dark - without any of the light blue pressed buttons !!! [see pic]

So that was another 125+ pics edit job [and pretty much all of them were .9.png... :victory:] just for that single change of blue shade....

Other noteworthy changes:

- New statusbar USB connection animation [see animated gif below] :p;

- New statusbar circle battery charging animation showing 5% increment steps instead of the static wallplug. The idea here was to make it easier to figure out what is the current batt charge level [see

partial

charging animated gif below] ;);

- Slight changes to default keyboard and I've redone (a few times) - [dang I wasted a lot of time on this!!] the Kii keyboard's skin since they've finally (v1.1.9) fixed the swiping trail :highfive: If you want to try it, just choose their Gingerbread built-in skin. This is still a work in progress though because theming that freakin KB is giving me headaches... :silly:

- Highlight (green colour) for new emails [stock email app] ...and also made the new sms the same color.

So. if you've never tried or haven't tried my theme lately, now is the time.... :cowboy:

If I don't get users' feedback with the update, I really don't know what it will take.... :eek:

You find your way to the OP to get it...

Cheers

/AL
[Defy Themes and Apps] niksy+:
If putting it in the PlayStore means more people will find it, then you should definitely do so! I haven't been on CM7 in a long time, but from what I see in the last screenshot... It looks VERY good! And it does look rather complete, all the colors and visuals match up really nicely, it's very well put together that skin!

Honestly, I really wish you would switch to CM10 and port it over! :D

*EDIT* Thread rated properly!
[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Though decision, but I've decided to completely close down this thread.

10,000+ views, about 1,000 downloads

and 10 thanks on the OP...go figure !!!

All I'll say is that you guys missed a chance to discuss, share and learn theming ideas.

And btw, a lot of stuff from my theme was 'functional' on ICS/JB (and even on CyanMobile) without modifications - for sure some stuff wasn't, but...- it just goes to show that if there was really a wish to get this ported, people could have been pro-active and show screenshots. I'm sure I would have give in at some point... Too bad then.

Like they say: best of luck in your future endeavors.

How ICS are is to early for me to say with only a few charges. Once I get back to normal usage in a few days I can get a better view on how the life of the battery are.
