gimpsta,

this is probably one of the greatest utilities to date. Talk about customization...wow! great job and thanks for your hard work
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
so far

i tried around creating 15 themes, all with different aspect of stuff and don't find any error

just as info
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Good to hear!

I'll probably add a few more features tonight that will need to be tested, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
i will give my best to try as much as i can ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sh0ebox:
Slapped together a quick Blackberry storm-esque key for you in case you needed it. Unfortunately, I don't know how to compile .9.pngs (I just opened up a .9.png file in photoshop, edited it, and saved it -- probably ruined it in the process lol I have no idea) so I don't know if this will work properly, but here's the image anyway in case you can use it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
HOLY F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I posted this like not even 24 hours ago. Just logged into check stats....

327 users have created 526 keyboards, and the numbers change every time I refresh......

Think I'm on to something good here :)

No error reports yet, that's promising?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I said it before and I'll say it again, you're a baller :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Okay guys, I have added in the ability to upload your own image for the spacebar logo!!! When you get to the upload page, read the instructions carefully as there will be absolutely no output if you upload a file that isn't supported (it will go back to spacebar selection and not be there).

Edit: Okay so there was a minor bug in upload, think it's sorted out now....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
Hey man new to this site but not to others read about this on droid life and must say outstanding job really really nice. With that being said i dont know if i found a bug or not but here is whats happening. I cant generate an apk or anything through my browser im using windows seven and internet explorer. Put a custom image in their wouldnt work tried just a premade one that didnt work.

Stupid IE..... :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
grr lol i just downloaded firefox and that fixed it lol. But not the ability to change my custom image its still stuck on the one i used before anythoughts?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
What type of image are you uploading?? Does it match the criteria on the upload page?

If so, try hitting F5 after you upload and it gets back to the space bar page.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
ok im useless sorry man it now works but the image i want to use doesnt meet the criteria it almost does but i know nothing about editing images all i really want is the minnesota twins TC logo on the spacebar and a steelers logo on the keyboard would be willing to donate if you could hook me up thanks again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Either upload the TC logo to a post in here or a link to where I can find it and I'll reformat it for ya real quick. Not sure where/what you mean for steelers logo on the keyboard, you mean a background with the steelers logo? I will be adding ability to upload custom background images soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
My bad i just meant a tc logo on space bar and steelers logo on space bar im a new user says i cant post url until restriction lifted by moderaters. anyhow im looking for a TC logo for the twins cutout similar to your yankees style and then just the steelers logo that is on their helmet like your oilers one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
omg wow

24 hours, over 500 users, and almost 1000 keyboards made :eek:

awesome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
hey man were you able to figure anything out for me bout the twins and steelers logos?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Just uploaded one of each. Not sure how they look as I didn't try them with anything, but lemme know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deadfrog82:
You bleeping rock man great work wished i knew how to work with photos like you i dig the cutout look. They worked great! Just one question is it possible to get the T in the tc logo to be white i could even do the work if someone just told me how. It just blends in with my blue keyboard. If not i understand you have made me very happy thanks so much!

Re: [Skins] HTC_IME High Res v24 custom skin generator online! Updated April 22nd!

Could you please make one with a Minnesota Twins theme plz? That would make me love you.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Added a round twins logo to space bars selection in the online kitchen. There oughta be enough combinations of keys in there to make a sick one with that logo :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
i think for different symbol key colors would be the best if there is a field like on the letter color, where you can give the color #ffffff etc ... but i am not sure if it's not impossible to code because afaik the server than have to create all this images?

like i post in the suggest feature think, a history of your own created themes would be cool, to tweak minor changes etc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I'm thinking about making a base image, say with an outline of the symbol set and then using gdimage or similar to "fill" the outline with user chosen color. I have no idea if/when i can make this work, but that's my plan for right now.

Saw the other suggestion and actually something I was already working on, so good to hear that i'm working on stuff that people actually want :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Function key color request! :) To match the green desire highlights I morph'd... Attached!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Sweet, probably wont be until this evening before I can wade through the requests as I'm at work now, but these kinds of requests (ie, add this button, this color) are MUCH easier then, say, a whole new skinned keyboard! Automation FTW!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Damn your cleverness sir, I might just have to buy you more beer :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] big nu:
????

Not exactly sure what im doing wrong but i keep getting this :

Maybe its just my luck with Android or "lack there of":rolleyes:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Really? Still? Seems like people are still generating keyboards okay, numbers climbing. Lemme try...

Edit: ya I dunno, I just made 2 in a row myself, and like 4 other people have made some since I first made this.

Hmmmmw wait, maybe it's because of the space in your username..... lemme try something.

Edit again: andddddddddddddd thats why!!! lemme fix this real quick!

Last edit :)

Fixed. You will need to sign back in again but problem has been found and fixed. There were about 14 people with spaces in their names that had never created skins! Glad someone posted an error!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Not sure if anyone's having this issue but whenever I reboot my skin goes away. :confused:

I re-install the .apk and it's all good again! Is this supposed to happen? :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
You have another version of it installed somewhere. Uninstall all htc ime, htc ime mod, and touch input under manage applications. Then use a file explorer with root abilities (root explorer or android mate) to go into /system/app and delete anything like HTC_IME.apk HTC_IME_hi.apk com.htc.ime.blah.blah.apk. To be extra sure, check /data/app and /sd-ext (if u have/use apps2sd) as well. Reboot, reinstall themed apk. Bet you'll be good to go!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] notxel21:
Thanks for the quick reply! Using the trusty Root Explorer to eradicate any other ime's. :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brutus2TheMax:
Is there any way you can make the kitchen support low res?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gogol:
gIMpSTa,

Is it possible to scale down the button a bit?

For example: from 20x50 pixels to 18x48 (1 pixel less from all sides).

To make the button smaller (a very little bit), so the gap between buttons is larger.

This will increase accuracy for typing because your eye will be more easier to target the center of the key button.

I cannot explain this in much better way, but someone explained in the HTC Desire before. Unfortunately I cannot find that thread back.

Yesterday, I tried on iPhone which I saw it has smaller buttons and larger gaps. I found that I could type more accurate.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Any specific color? I'd have to actually modify the content of the image and not just shrink it because they are .9 files that scale up anyway. I could def make some "thinner" versions tho.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gogol:
The one that similar to the stock HTC IME keyboard. Dark grey background would be better I think.

Thinner means smaller width, right? I think you need also smaller height to make it balance.

Probably this will benefit to others who would like to try if larger gaps between buttons increase typing accuracy.

PS: I still cant find that thread :(

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It would basically mean writing a new one (or at least the backend scripts). I might try this if I can get the dynamic symbol set generation working because i'd have to manually rescale all those otherwise, maybe not the .9s but i havn't tried it yet. Will have to do some testing this weekend.

Yeah I meant thinner all around, trim them up. I've seen mention of it before so know what you meant.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brutus2TheMax:
THANK YOU!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
made a button for desire green highlights, used draw9patch and I think I made this right, tell me if I f'd up :)

Re: [Skins] HTC_IME High Res v24 custom skin generator online! Updated April 22nd!

Thats really worth it, I posted a version in jonasl's thread - typing experience is much better! :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Cool, I'll grab them and throw them in the kitchen soon as I get a chance. Hoping tonight I can sit down and really bang out some of the new features I've been working on + some of the requests. Most likely there will be a big-ish update tonight.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
love the keyboard kitchen, very nice thanks!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
First new addition of the night (more to come)

Choose any color (similar to the text color) for your background image!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
any way to get SEMI transparent buttons like i seen on a swype theme under (post your screen shots pg117) it looked way sweet with dark transparent buttons:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hahah I honestly kanged the hell out of that look when I saw it. I'm going to try to post some new image sets tonight after I (hopefully) finish off the round of features I'm trying to implement.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
I make that .9.png right for ya? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yup! It just needed to be run thru eclipse real quick to do the actual dotnine patching (sets the stretchable areas of the image and removes the black line). Def saved me some time, sorry hadn't posted it yet but will do first thing tonight.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Alright, the greendesire keys have been added.

Also, I just added about 20 more spacebar symbols to the library (cherry picked from what people have been uploading).

More keys and features to follow very soon :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] awdlexusis:
Lmao that's great.. yeah its a clean theme for sure.had problems with the full transparent keys when online...thanks,and keep up the great work :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] michaelo147:
Dude you are a genius, this generator is awesome!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
More Updates!!!

4/27/2010	Added 1 new key style (green desire) and about 20 spacebar symbols (created by you guys!)

4/27/2010	Added option to preview keyboard before generating it! Note, this is as close as I can come to a real preview but may not be exact.

4/27/2010	Added option to see/reuse all skins you have generated!

4/27/2010	Added option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated!

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Seems using the green desire keys, the size is too big and off a bit?? Or is it just me?

Screen shot attached.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Strange. I didnt even test them to be honest :eek:

I see what you mean. I'll scale em down soon as I get a chance.

Unrelated Edit: I just keep refreshing the "last 25 skins created" page. Some really cool skins in there :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lazopolis:
stuck

Ok first, love the generator. I have a prob though. When I download the custom baked theme, open in astro use the app launcher I see launch or uninstall. (no install) (version difference?)

What am I missing? The others I've installed that were pre-baked just popped right in. This one not so much. Or maybe partly it's after 3 and I can't stop playin'? Heh

This is prob my lack of experience with this stuff.

Thanks man!

Re: [Skins] HTC_IME High Res v24 custom skin generator online! Updated April 27th!

Try using Linda filemanager instead of Astro
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Hi gIMpSTa,

do you think you will succed in making the keys smaller ?

Cause I continued with my key mod, but can´t get the space-key perfect :( ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Any luck yet?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Yes,i I was just focusing on code last night. Images will be focus today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Exactly. Use Linda. Astro does not support reinstall.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Found a bug, hit the 12# key, and the two bottom left hand keys are backwards...

It didn't do this when I chose the black keys instead of the grn desire keys...

Attached.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hummmmmmm..... whoa. wtf.. hahahahah.

Thats like not even possible.... those are text and not images that are drawn within the keyboard.... I have no idea what would cause this.... I'll debug it soon as I get home! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] omgsigh:
can someone change the comma and period button to the same one on the X10. I use the exclaimation mark and question mark more than I will ever use semi colon and colon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Should probably ask that over here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

Allright working on the green desire bug that was reported, smaller keys to follow, and then likely couple features and maybe a UI overhaul if i'm ambitious enough :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Fixed!

.....10chars.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
green keys still seems too large???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Hmmm and I shrunk them down too.. like a considerable amount... I'll try a few other things later but not sure why that didn't change.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
Made another one, it's just a tad larger, I can live with it tho :) Looks better now that the symbols are aligned properly! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] martin0285:
found this odd...... :D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
heh.

New features added tonight, including fully customizable backgrounds, forgot to announce that here ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] omgsigh:
pressing the voice to text does nothing for me. Tried on wifi,3g and the german server. Usually it tells you if you have no network but it does nothing at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
Is this now working on the new MetaMorph donate version?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
These aren't morphs...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Is what?

There are absolutely none of my morphs for this keyboard anymore...

Sign into the kitchen, bake a pre-themed apk file and install it like you would anything else (from a file manager that supports reinstall (linda/root explorer)) directly on your phone, or with adb install -r HTC_IME_blah.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
it's always cool to look at the 25 last made... people dig the desire green :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I seriously leave that screen open half the day and just randomly refresh it!

Some very amazing keyboards coming out of here!

One of the features in the works is a voting/rating type system.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
I wanna say thanks for this awesome work!

Cool, cool, cool! I love the generator really! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krazykrivda:
this new custom theme maker is awesome.. I had created one of my own before as you may recall. It would be great to have black symbols option, and also I think the color of the T9/ABC green selector should match the color of the secondary keys!

ANyway, this is copmletely awesome, brings a whole new meaning to theming!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Glad you enjoy it!

I'm working on getting any color symbols going.. I'm very close... Picture the text color selection, except it generates a new symbol set of said color :) Hopefully soon...

Not 100% sure what you mean about the T9/ABC green selector part? Is this when in compact qwerty mode? I'll ahve to switch to that and take a look.

Edit: ahhh yes okay, I see what you mean now. I seem to recall having an issue theming that part in the past (dont remember why/what) but I can try and see what I can come up with.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krazykrivda:
Yeah.. when using compact or keypad there is a toggle with a green slection image behind it.. it woudl be great if it matched the secondary buttons.. ALSO, another HUGE thing would be to change the predictive background color.. (as you type the background is either green or orange as the words are suggested.. I'd probably keep the default gray- as it is now, and then the highlighted word match the primary/secondary key colors sets)

I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all, but I know what I"m talking about lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krazykrivda:
I have edited it without much issue previously.. I can help you with that part of it.. if you can integrate it into options.. PM me or gtalk me (same name on gtalk)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:

It may have been the text color I was having issue with.

Yeah I just quickly tried it and changed it with no issue. I'll def add it into options.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krazykrivda:

kitchen updated to v25!

v25 is out and has been added to the kitchen :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gilg@mesh:
what about a Internazionale skin? :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I had to look that up to see what it even was :)

Have you checked out the kitchen? It wouldn't be to hard to make that with the options I have in there I don't think...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gogol:
Nice, but I will wait for the small keys feature ! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Smaller keys is actually a, very nicely done, feature of v25 :)

You can configure any skin you generate to have keys smaller by 1-10px directly through the keyboards settings menu.

Jonasl is THE man.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fitsnugly:
still puzzling why those desire keys are bigger... hrm..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Man,

the option to see, what I've chosen before is really cool.

Man, you're A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!

Big, big thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gogol:
You right it is nicely done :)

But not with the height.

It would be nicer if the height can be adjusted as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Jonasl said in the other thread that this was just a quick hack and that height and landscape mode should be coming in next version.

tried loading a custom background and it worked fine. however, when in landsacpe the background image does not resize. any suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I was kinda of waiting for this question to come up :)

There would be no way to automatically resize it without stretching it beyond recognition. When I first setup the background upload I was thinking people would mainly use it to add a "logo" to their background, hence me creating it the way I did. I've been keeping a close eye on the skins being created and have noticed a few people uploading, basically, an entire background to use rather then just a logo on a colored background.

It will require uploading 2 separate images (one for landscape and one for portrait, otherwise it will look like ****). I'll try to get this implemented as an option as quickly as I can.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lissa5168:
I'm having a problem with the skin creator site. I can create the skin fine, but when it generates the file for me to download, it is ALWAYS the first skin I created. I tried waiting a few hours (since it says it will only keep a record of the download for an hour) and I still get the same skin every time no matter what I do. I have like 3 more skins I promised people I would create ... is there something I'm doing wrong that I can change or maybe a fix for this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
I emailed you earlier after you submitted a bug report with what I pasted below. Why not just send those 3 people the link to the site and have them create the keyboard themselves is the real question???

Here is what I sent you earlier:

Hmmm it has something to do with the way you are installing it or your device. For example, I just downloaded this

http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/users/lissa5168/HTC_IME_hi_themed_by_gIMpSTa.zip

and installed it with adb install -r FILENAME.apk, and it's the cubs one you just made (identical to screenshot in last 25 made, and identical to what is on record for one you just created), and entirely different from the first one you made.

Try completely uninstalling the keyboard from manage applications and if you can't use adb to install it, use a file maanger that supports reintsalling (astro does not, root explorer and linda do), and see if that helps.
