[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Well, once more, I've almost gave up on updating this thread, but today (almost for the first time) I feel that the theme has reached a solid and mature state. It's not complete and will probably never fully be since I still have a good list of things I'd like to do and try. But for the most part, I'd be ok with leaving this thread alone with the theme as it is now. Worthy of putting on the Play Store? I don't know about that, but I do know that I'm not ashamed to use it on my phone daily and to share it with whoever would like to try it out.

So here it is, another 200+ pics edit job (probably well over 500 if I would count all the things that I've tried since last time that finally did not make it for this update.

Partial changelog:

- slight recolor/adjustment of V/H scrollbars and overscroll glow;

- changed the Dialer's, Manage apps', Music.apk's, PlayerPro's, Calendar's, Tapatalk's (and others) top selected tabs blue shade;

- Fixed contacts piture badge frame (no more black lines on top and bottom);

- Calls log's and Contacts' header banners color;

- Added PlayerPro's equalizer switch a color accent;

- MIUI sound recorder buttons indicators re-color;

- An almost complete notification panel's make over:

- new header banner color;

- New power widgets (unpressed) color (and fixed their shadows);

- No more green text for carrier's name, "On-going" and and "Notifications";

- Changed the notifications background (color and design) from white to light grey

--> less bright at night and easier to see some apps that use light or white text for notifications;

- quite a few small esthetic changes to individual pngs here and there.

...and lastly, thanks to titanic_fanatic, it is now posssible to theme apps with capital letters in their Androidmanifest IDs - so this means that I can finally theme apps that it was previously impossible to compile/decompile on a Windows environment.

So my first shot at this was to replace and use a decent looking vertical scrollbar handle in QuickPic;

second, was to start theming Dolphin Browser.

On that last note, I'd like to issue the following WARNING:

I still use the older (almost ancient now) Dolphin browser HD v5.1 since I couldn't care less about that Sonar (voice search) and other crap like Webzine they've added in since then. So I cannot guaranty that everything will look good if you do use a recent version of the app as the UI is quite different now...

So I've themed v5.1 with blue accents -well, started to anyway... with over 125 pics modded already. It's a work in progress and one good challenge; there were quite a few shades of green in there that looked weird once I started changing the hue... So again: be warned that it ain't perfect yet (alhough quite nice already); if you don't like it, you can do as with anything else from the theme that might bother you: go in and edit or remove it from the apk and simply resign it before install. For this browser specifically, you can leave all those related pics inside (they all have the pre-fix "dolphin_" anyway)and only delete the Dolphin main xml here: WizAL_v2.5-xda.apk\res\xml\mobi_mgeek_TunnyBrowser.xml and that will do it.

I had more stuff to add that slept my mind now..., but anyway, since there is so much feedback to all that I wrote before; who cares really anyway...?!?

So just try it out and -like I wrote more than 6 months ago at the first release: if you like it: good! - if not: trash it after you give it a try.

I will not stop theming, but this time it's true: I don't think that the next update will come in a near future; at least not as quick as the latest few...

So I hope you enjoy the theme; it's been fun to share my thoughts on it with you guys but this is way to "one-sided" to continue on....

Cheers and happy New (snake) Year to all our asian friends!!
