I personally don't care much for the 3D app drawer as I have LP, but an update 2.6 theme would be cool. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
I am either way on 3D drawer, but this is your theme so do it how you want it to be. I would like both a 2.5.7. and 2.6 theme.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I was about to release some screenshots of the new theme last night but then I decided to just wait and release the whole theme 2marrow, is fission 2.6 out yet? Also I will keep a 2.5.7 version up at the same time if 2.6 is out right now.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
2.6 is out right in FRM with only the blackout theme so far.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok I will download 2.6 and then update all of my themes, im also going to release the pink/ valentines theme sometime today but that also has to get updated.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Can you keep the pink theme for 2.5.7 and make it along side the 2.6? Because I am still using 2.5.7, but 2.6.x is out now and just waiting to see what some of the changes are.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Yeah I can do that. I am going to just keep my themes at 2.5.7 for today because I have like 10 minutes to be on the computer and do development so I am just going to upload the theme and update my themes tomorrow. Sorry I can't update today.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
No rush here. Take all the time you want. Im still on 2.5.7 still.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] eudian:
can I use this theme on milestone2 with Blur？
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
No that would brick your phone.

Sorry
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Crazy_Eddie:
Just wanted to say I installed this theme and it looks great. Nice work.

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Thanks! I really appreciate comments like this* hint* *hint*

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
UPDATE !!!!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
I am not sure if this a bug or just my device, but every time I try to open the gmail app, it keeps force closing on me. I think it maybe because of this theme, but I can't really tell. I am about to do a clean install and see if it really is this theme or not. Tried pink steel but the icon for gmail was from this themes soo yeah. Been a while since I got email on that account so its the first time I noticed while using this theme. Thanks

Did more testing and it seems that indeed it is this theme that is causing gmail app to force close. Not sure if the pink theme has the same issue, but I'd rather not test it as I don't want to start clean another time. Therefore, I will just wait for the next updates to either theme before I load it again.

Ok, I could not help myself & decide to try Steel again. The issue is still there, but I think I may have found the problem. According to Titanium Backup the gmail, voice search, & youtube apps are older versions than what Fission uses. I restored all the app just to be on the safe side. I take if you use the update version of these apps the issue should be solved as it was for me. Not too sure if your other themes have the same issue. As a note the icons for those three apps are stock.

The only suggestion I do have is if you can make the Google search bar smaller like it is stock(black still of course). Keep up the good work.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok thanks for finding this bug. I don't have this bug on my phone but I will update all of the apps and then re-theme them. I can't come out with this update today but I will try and get it out in the next few days.

thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I just updated the theme and fixed the invisible text in the menu bug and I will try and come out with another update for the apps bug in a few days.

thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
I take that the pink theme at one point will get this background update as well?

I installed this I noticed a few things. The apps didn't get changed so that issue didn't come up again for me. The second issue noticed in apps like Fission Rom manager, or in some of the actual setting the text/background issue is still there, while in other places it has been fixed, so yeah. Thank you though.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I have no idea why it wouldn't work in some apps and would work in others....

I am going to update the pink ones once the super bowl is over ;)

I will look through the framework-res.apk one more time on elegant steel while I am updating the pink ones to make sure all of the menu backgrounds are black/transparent but I am pretty sure I changed all of the images.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Well at first looked, it seemed that way, but then I check something in my settings and the buttons were still the hard to read mess" so to speak. But, thank you for the nice work.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Notice that issue when I deleted an item in file browser. It bothers me like a can sleeping under my hood.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok. I'm going to start working on fixing some of those bugs. I don't know how to fix the buttons right now but I will ask this expert themer I know who basically knows everything.

I will also start working on the menu backgrounds and bootanimations in the pink steel theme.

Once again I really appreciate all of the feedback even if not all of it is positive.

Thanks,

Ljbaumer

P.S. Go Packers!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
As a safety measure I would also check your other themes(not Steel line) for the background and/or app issue.

We are just the beta testers so speak, but you are the developer and I thank you for the work again.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Good idea but there is no point in me doing that. There are only bugs because there is a bug in fission rom manager where I cannot get access to 2.6.1 so someone had to send me the black edition of 2.6.1 and all of my previous themes had been based off of the froyo edition. That means that a ton of XML was changed and it is a lot more like a liberty theme.

I just finished updating the elegant pink menu backgrounds and I am still trying to sort out the button backgrounds. If someone could upload the froyo edition of fission 2.6.1 I would be forever grateful, it would save me soooo much time.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Really, I had these issues with Steel under Froyo before I went to black edition.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
no no no. I mean when it was built for 2.5.7 it was bugless because I based the theme off of the white version which had an XML package that fitted my theme.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Oh okay. So, then for 2.6.x is the xml the same for both themes now or something?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I wish it was but for now the froyo edition of 2.6.1 has not been released so I am having to do constant bug fixes. Once it is released though I will just be able to switch some files and then, TADA! All the bugs would be fixed.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Actually froyo edition is out.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Yes, both Froyo and black edition are out. I was on froyo before gmail issue arose. This gave me a good reason to try give black edition. I dunno why, but I had to try Steel again(like the HTC-ish call options). I installed Steel before even doing a back up, and that were I found all the app issues and fix for it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Ya, back up software is a real hide saver.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Could you upload the froyo edition up to megaupload.com or dropbox.com or something so I could get rid of all of these bugs?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Do you want the upgrade of full?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
the full version would be great
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
I am noticin this and my girl is tellin me this too, the lock screen is a bit laggy/slower than expected. This may be a bug or sumthin. thanks
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Alright I did some extensive testing and it seem like my market is acting slow and force closin on me. It turns out it is this theme, something in it causing that problem. I am also because of dis theme having issue with gtalk signing me out or closing on me with out warning and google mail force closin on me at odd time. My gurl only has the gtalk issue on her end. Any idea why?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Im like seeing the same thing here with the pink them(including the gmail and the market issue).
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Look, I am going to fix all of the bugs. I just need someone to upload the froyo edition of fission 2.6.1 and send me the link. It will make my life 10X easier.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
I stated off black edition to Steel theme and I am also seeing a market issue. Not sure if it is related to this or black edition. Maybe you can make Elegant steel with black edition somehow go back to steel theme stock froyo market? I tried to upload it but rapidshare kept producing the wrong link for me. I'll try again later tonight.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I actually got a link to a working FRM from makkatack and I am sending the file over to my computer now. I am going to have some delays because I am really busy but I will try and push out some updates as soon as possible.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Cool. Hopefully, the fixes are easy.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Yeee hhhaawww good news. I just want the gmail network issue(where it logs me off and sometime can't even connect) fixed that this theme brought out. I say this b/c I was on 2.6.1 for a while and that issue wasn't there, but I install this theme and bam issue there. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok so I fixed the bug with the button text color (not uploaded yet) and I want to fix everything in one found. What is the buglist? I know I have to update a bunch of apps to the new versions so that they dont force close but what else is there?

You can join me on IRC webchat.freenode.net at #baumerthemes or #teamdefuse

Or you can post bugs or suggestions for both of the steel themes on this google wave threa ;) https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1#minimized:nav,minimized:search,restored:wave:googlewave.com%252Fw%252B9M_66tq-A.4

I'm not sure if it will work but I like the google wave service.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
I am having issue with my market acting up and closing on me, the same goes for gtalk and browser. Im on pink but others are saying steel has it also. And I want the steel icons on pink as was suggested cause that is a great idea.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
That and the lock screen. Same for pink but with the steel boot screen, and the adjustment my gurl did to the color. I give the OP a bottoms up!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
What do you want changed on the lockscreen?!? I think the lockscreen looks great lol. I changed the pink steel bootscreen already and I will change the icons today I hope. The vibrancy thing will come out sometime this week and if I like the way it looks I will add it to the elegant steel theme ;)

Also I am not having any problems at all with the market force closing on elegant steel. I would recommend a fresh flash where you wipe everything and then flash elegant steel straight over fission 2.6.1

Thanks,

ljbaumer

P.S. check out my google wave thread I posted the link to in one of my other posts :D
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
I read his the post and he was complaing about the lock screen being like a bit laggy for him. Ive notice that 1nce in a while. I did a fresh flash a few time with both froyo and black theme and yes I do kind of have that issue. Same with gmail and gtalk logging me off as others have said.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I have litterally no idea how I would fix a laggy lockscreen..... im sorry but im going to just have to leave it as it is.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
I would say ask some of the other theme developers and see if they have any tips, tricks or shortcuts on that, but if you have no idea and rather keep it as is, that is coolio with me.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Im testing out an update to the theme which should fix all of the bugs except for the lockscreen bug which I don't even think exists on my phone. Please tell me if I forgot anything... uploading now...
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Yeah I was referring to tha lag. But, as a note if you look at tha lock screen in landscape vs portrait modes you can see they are different, but I think dat is actually more of a stock Fission issue as ive seen dat for a whole now. So, yeah no biggie here if u don't want to mess with tha lock screen. I am antsier than a man with ants down his pants waitin for the update fixes cause it would make my usage way more easier. I give you a big texas size thanking fo this.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Hey guess what?

There

Is

Another

Update!!!!

All of the bugs should be fixed! It is recommended to do a fresh install and there may still be a few bugs if you don't but it should work without one.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Fresh install of Fission? If so does it matter if it black or froyo?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Real snazzy!!
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
A fresh install of fission is recommended but no necessary.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Again does it matter if it is Froyo or Black?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Oh my bad. It does not matter if it is froyo themed or black themed. I always use the froyo themed one because that is what these themes are now based off of but it rewally does not matter.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Last suggestion I have, I like the way the google search bar looks in the black theme for it in the FRM, will that cause any issue with the one in these roms or no? Can that somehow be installed by defualt or not possible?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
It should not cause any problems with this theme if it doesn't cause any problems with other themes.... I don't think I am going to spend a bunch of time working on adding that to my theme but it should work out alright.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Good to know.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Not a big deal, but the first thing I notice, in the notification bar the background and the text are similar in color, which make it a bit hard to read in direct light. Another thing I noticed was titanium backup says that gmail app is older version than the one I back up still. Odd. I also noticed that maybe theme to market is causing some issues for me, but more testing needs to be done. Thank you very much for the updates.

Not important, but when I launched talk a screen came up for 8 or so seconds that said elegant talk in blue, is that normal?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Yeah I designed the elegant talk thing in like 2 seconds.... pretty sloppy work but I just wanted to show that I updated gtalk. It only is there the first time you open the app. The rest of the time it should opens straight up to the normal UI.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Odd keeps popping up for me. Hmm. I thought it wasn't going to be much of a problem but the color issue on the notification bar made me miss error notification. But, everything else seems to work perfectly. Stand up job.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Yeah that Elegant talk is keep popping up for me. A bit odd, would be nice a quick fix, but it honky dory if you don't. And yeah that market is a acting like a turtle at time when when I open. it, the stock theme was much faster(it seems like the theme was from a different theme yack on there, but I could be wronger than wrong).
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Good new is what ever you did made the lock screen lag gone with the wind.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
my lady made this to use for the splash screen of the app. How can I use it? I replaced the file you had with this one(in the talk app), and then moved it back to correct folder in the root, but that just took away the app from my device despite still being in my root folder. Any ideas why?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
That talk icons looks HOT!!!!! I will make a flashable zip.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Here is the flashable .zip file... It should work but I am not sure. Can someone test it out for me? http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QOGM4SYL
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Wasn't working. So, I went and did some changes myself to the talk that did work for me. Used a few things from Elegant Pink and changed a few stock color items. Check it out if anyone wants. http://rapidshare.com/files/447041396/Talk.apk
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Cool. Ill try it out. I am really bad at making zips so mine probably wont work.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
You may have to adjust a few permissions on there and a restart to get it fully work get it to work. I know I had to.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
I was wonderin why it wasn't workin. Now I know I had to restart my phone.

Im also seeing that issue with the text not readable. I was in the cold sun when I got a notification and wasn't even sure what it was for.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok when I get home I will change the status bar backgrounds so that it is visible.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I am going to look through all of the steel themes and make sure everything is working. I just need to do a cleanup of the zips because I have a feeling there are a few doubles of files which may be screwing a few things up.

By the time I am done with this crap ther wont be a bug in sight.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
I dunno if it is a bug but the market placed theme maybe causing some issues. Plus, i dont have the stock fission call options any more, i get this different one, which is good, i need to change something from the stock one today and i couldnt. All good though as I like the update talk app now with the shinnier theme to it. lol
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Ok so I am coming out with a new version that should fix all the bugs and place the normal talk app with the crazy splash screen that bigsnack's girlfriend designed.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Naw she just edited the stock one, but I like the one baker did more with color on the menu options and interesting update to the smilies, but its your theme do you waht you like.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Update: fixed notification bar. It is not perfect but it is waaay easier to read then before... I also adder tbaker's talk.apk file and I like it way better than my old one. Oh and I changed the market back to the stock market to fix all of the bugs people are having with it.

I removed the youtube.apk also because it was causing some of the market problems and if there are still bugs do a fresh install so that the new youtube.apk from the market can install...

thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Thank you. Will the pink one get similar updates?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Other than tha clear button when there is a notification everythin is working super fast and super clean. I am happy as fat man in a free pie eatin contest.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Glad the update worked out!

Pink Steel will receive a similar update sometime tomorrow. I was going to try and work on it today but I am really pooped and I don't think I can do any more developing today.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Things seem even better now. Thank you.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Hate to do this to you, but I tried to go into my 3G settings to turn just 3G off and it kept force closing on me. Did a clean install to try it again and same issue. :? Thank you.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Awwwwwww.

I thought there weren't any bugs. I will try and fix this soon if it is really important but I am pretty busy right now and am working on updating pink steel so the update may not be out right away.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] bigsnack:
Well that not your fault and Im sure he know it. It the fact you ported the theme from tha Nexus 1, bound to happen. I would think its the same on the pink theme if you included the different call setting screen.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
I was thinking it could be due to that, but I wasn't sure. Its all good, I am sure there is time someone here may need to have 3G off while having phone on.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
What is the string of settings you went to? For me settings-wireless and networks- wirelessnetworks- data enabled doesn't force close.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Few times I wasn't able to get into 3G setting, but then after starting clear again it seemed like I was until i tried to turn of 3G and it closed on me without turning off.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] mearyoleon:
I'm loving the theme, but for some reason I can't get the little bar at the bottom to show up? The one that says phne mail text

Mine is still the one that came with the upgrade to 2.61

anybody else have this problem or no what to do about it?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Do you mean the dock at the bottom of the screen? If so than send me a PM and I can write up a quick tutorial. It takes a while the first time but after that it is easy. If it works I will post the tutorial in the thread.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
So aside from that little 3g issue (which is not really shown to exist on more than one phone) there aren't any bugs right?

Just checking in. I'm really busy recently and me and a few themers are starting a top secret project :) if you're a themer who would like to know what it is just send me a PM

Thanks,

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Tweader:
Love your themes, messing with this one a bit now...

1. How do I get the clock like yours "SEVENzeroTWO" the one in the screen shot in the first post?

2. Same as above how do I get the dock like yours in the screen shot in the first post?

3. My app draw still scrolls normally.

4. Gmail is force closing.

5. 1 out of 3 installs leaves me with no service.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
1) Download the app clockr or clockr evolution and place the widget on your homescreen.

2) Download the app launcher pro. Set it as your homescreen and go into the settings to customize the dock to your liking. You can probably just use google to find a tutorial on how to use custom docks on launcher pro. I used this dock: http://photos-5.dropbox.com/i/l/TXHskMYI8FB-L5Khw3tKDUjYFgwEEEYf1Gbq2_6av2c/9451596/1301104800/df91e44#17

And you can find a lot of customization options at www.colormeandroid.com

3) I will remove Gmail from the theme and post a quick update sometime tonight. If you do a fresh install of the theme after that update it should fixt he problem.

4) I have no idea why this happens and I have no idea how to fix it either :\ Sorry

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Here is the new update: www.magnam0d.com/ljbaumer/themes/ElegantSteelD2.zip

I will be updating the main post in one second.

If you do a fresh install this SHOULD fix all of the bugs with gmail. Please tell me if there are any other bugs or if this update doesn't fix it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Tweader:
Ok the latest fixed the gmail issue, Im still not getting service. Trying to play with it though. Can you relink the download to the dock you are using. Ive got launcher all set up and ready to go.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:

Just save the image onto your SDCARD.... and then select that as the dock background. After that select what you want the shortcuts to be and make the icons transparent so you can see the background icons and stuff. There should be in depth instructions somewhere online.
