Half-Way Themes and ideas =)
« on: July 07, 2011, 07:50:58 AM »
Themes are pretty fun to make, they are simple and provide good exercise in design for me. I've actually scrapped a lot of themes, some of which are partially done. I'm putting this up to possibly gather suggestions/direction or maybe just see which designs I should prioritize and actually finish =P.

Minimally Dark: I at one point was feeling the dark look.


Shelved: Everything borrowed but the shelf for mockup purposes.


TF2 War: Sort of complete, but unhappy with the end result. The Cham bug with transparency in opt screen is the main annoyance =/


Retro feel: Rainbow Apple FTW


I also have several ideas that I haven't yet created mockups for:
  • Minecraft styled theme! - Top of my list really =D
  • Retro-styled theme. Something that capitalizes on the Rainbow Apple icon ;-).
  • Another "list" vertical theme - featuring 32px device icons.
  • Metro/Win8 Theme - why not? =P
I will update whenever I have new mockups to present ;-)




Completed:
• Angelbird
• LoginToLion

Hey Enzo

Lol.. I know what you mean for having unfinished / shelved ideas lying around.. :)

From looking at your post I would say release all of them! but then again I know how much work is involved to finish a theme so I understand why you haven't. Angelbird does look finished so I think that must be the first one to complete.

Well done with your continued drive with themes as your work is loved by all - so keep it up.

And "yellowed plastic" colored background ;D like an old Mac Plus or Apple II.

Thanks =)

I hadn't really worked on it since lol, but I'm back on it, got the circle frame down, playing with images for Linux/Win. I think what I'd prob do is do a pre-release with only linux/win/mac devices and some recycled menu icons here in this thread (for anyone that's in a rush to get it?). I know I'd start using it soon as it suited my needs =P. It's the rest that takes me a little more time anyways.

Edit:
Keeping the whole "User Accounts" feel with photo-ish images, and as for the selection, installer look anyone?  :P:

I think this is the way I'll finish it up, but I'm already thinking of doing simple icon alternatives haha.
This is the basic resources done, I'll start cranking out the theme files tomorrow.

Crunched out the basics today, so only:
•GenericLinux, Win, Lion Device icons, the rest use the same Generic icon
•Backgrounds for popular resolutions in Alternates Folder
•Only a simple progressbar
•Apple Logo

Still need to do proper menu icons matching the shutdown/restart icons in Lion Login window. Also need to match all elements in Chameleon (info boxes, etc). Font seems ok, can be better. Might also do alternate icons for all OS'.

LoginToLion, a pre-release version ;) : http://cl.ly/8glO
Looks something like: http://kttns.org/f/jyjmw

Wow Enzo really impressed by your work :D just a little idea from myself: it would be cool of you could create some "circles" for windows/linux/os x based on the default background of these operating systems (with linux, i mean the background of ubuntu), would be really cool also, but thanks already for this prerelease :D

That would be easy to do, I'll have it in the soon final version ;)
