[Android Themes] Nauxer:
So I come back after a week to check how this thing is coming out and what do I find? Wll you already know that one.

Let me tell you the story behind the theme.

I joined the team on page 34 or so in the old thread, maybe someone will remember the bootscreen I did. Then I contacted Lucky and he gave me the PSDs where those concept images came from. I belive those were made by VolcomDesigns.

I never talked to anyone else in the "team". Those first days I just extracted images from the PSDs and adjusted them to the frameworks needs (ie colors on the apps drawer pully). I made the battery, wifi and signal icons. But refused to do the 400+ images because that was just silly.

Speaking of those, the base images used for them were the ones from Enoch. I think opasha was coloring them after I refused.

When the first .zip was available to flash you would be amazed at how little it looked like the concepts, basically it was a random theme with the images I made on top, and with those ugly custom icons. And this was while Lucky was posting "we will have it this weekend".

I had to take some control and send Lucky a mail that most people would find offensive with a list of to-dos and "orders". Speaking of which he would never email me apart to say that we needed to talk, while I mailed him images and **** because we were nine timezones apart.

In the next .zip I could see the work from whoever did some of those .9s and they were complete rubbish, so I said I would do them too. I asked Lucky to give me the images that needed coloring extracted from a Hero dump and I colored them with that bluish thing. Those failed .9s are the only images that someone else did apart from me in the whole time I was looking at the theme (not this last 10 days or whatever). PSDs apart of course, that's all great work from Volcom or w/e.

By the way, I coloured those... 300? or so images in seconds using a shell command in my linux box (which I use mainly):

for i in $( ls ); do convert $i -modulate 100,100,160 $i; done

I came up with this in the shower, I remembered a command that I used long time ago that would do this and just made a loop. Seconds. You are welcome.

In the third flash notifs still didn't work and buttons were incorrectly positioned. In the fourth flash buttons worked, they were correctly positioned and sized, everything was pretty ok but fonts, but that was all Lucky's thing. I came up with the idea of moving the black pully from the notif to the apps drawer and making another gray one for notifs. Because transparent blue looked so bad. But there are images I told Lucky to put in there that he never did (but should), for example a new background for the notifs tab. I also suggested to use plain gray for the items in the notif instead of those blue things that look like pressed buttons, apparently you can't make those transparent, but that never came out mainly because I didn't insist. And because I was unavilable.

So yes, I am taking myself a lot of credit, all of it deserved. I've been a couple days thinking if this was correct or not, but what the hell, you see all those people complaining and they didn't do ****.

Lucky hasn't done even the 50% of that you're giving thanks for. Signing images in and out of the zip, the script, and see the changes in CMs versions, the fonts... but well, I don't want to take credit from him because he at least made some work, as Volcom, and as myself. But the rest of you? come on... AND what really grinds my gears is all that self praising and attitude like trying to look harmed and asking for donations for a website... something that is so ridiculously cheap... even more if you are an owner of a G1 and a mac, please... this virtual begging is so pathetic.

All of those images have passed through my hands (maybe some icon in the notifs didn't), and I was just thrown there in the list of "the team" while everybody is complaining and *****ing. And I tell you it wouldn't look so bad if I had been here, because I did warn him not to use the blue bar in the first release because wallpapers would never look good with it. And man... the blue transparent HUGE pully... you guys really mess him up.

And as a side note, age is not an excuse, if you can't live up to expectations DON'T MAKE EXPECTATIONS. I had to warn him in a mail to stop posting it would be ready in x days and that it would have a zillion different combinations of colors and to stop tweeting for hype and all that rubbish. But he didn't listen anyway.

This is the last thing I post on this topic, and I'm not going back to design for Experion. When I saw the first time how little Experion was developed I thought to myself "you did it wrong again, you should go on with your own project". And now I'm completely sure that's what I'll do the next time I fell like using photoshop.
