Yes, it was indeed, with the "countdown" just a little bit to the left, centered between the "logo" and the "device" icon
You can see in all my theme's preview photos, how i originaly intend them to be positioned, but feel free to correct any elements position if you like
I understand now that in order to flee from the "standard" centered apple positioning, one must take in account the %Positioning instead of Absolute Positioning for the themes to be correctly converted to other resolutions
Unfortunately, no AP, means less detailed themes, as you cannot fit the elements exactly where you want them with %P......balls lol

Thanks
Kind regards

Thanks Blackosx
I'm glad you like the theme

In my defense i can only say that i've initially built this theme using % positioning, until i get to the "progress bar" & "countdown" alignment, then i had to switch to absolute positioning, because it was the only way that i could fit them closer together with the "Volume Name", but i'm seeing that using AP is crap when the theme is converted to other resolutions (i've noticed that too in the photo you post on the Katana theme)... sorry 
I'll try to use %P as much as i can in all my future themes, those with tech skills can edit the "theme.plist" to position the elements according to their resolution if any of them is misaligned, you're more than welcomed to do that, as i do not have the time, (nor the patience, to be honest, since each theme takes a lot of time and a lot of hard work) to do it for every existing resolution.....sorry 
Is there any software that can convert a full theme into other resolutions? That would be awesome

Thanks
Kind regards

Thanks for the feedback Blackosx, i'm glad you like it
About the full color rollover icons, yes they are quite the opposite of the normal icons, they create a great contrast along the blade, if you have more than 3 icons on it adding at the same time a bit of color to the theme
I agree with you, let's see what others think, i sure would like to know more opinions, not only on this theme, but also the other ones as well

Thanks
Kind regards

This is how it looks here at 1440x1050.

Is this how you intend it to be positioned?

This is a great theme rmf_z. Congrats!

However, you are using absolute positioning again: logo_pos_x = 804px
This is how it looks on my screen at 1440x1050.


Also Note: Background is sized at 1920x1080px 150dpi = 1.98MB. Only needs to be at 72dpi.

Hi rmf_z

Thanks for taking my suggestion in to account!
Looking at v2, I think the embossed icons do work. Nice job. However, for me the rollover icons being full colour seem too strong.



But hey, that’s just my opinion. Let's see what others think

Also Note: Background is sized at 1920x1080px 300dpi = 1.98MB Only needs to be at 72dpi.

Hello everyone,

It's TIME to unveil my last theme, and this TIME it's a theme for everyone who enjoys this beautiful piece of jewellery
Feel free to comment or just say something if you like it, it’s always nice to know your opinion

As always it’s a 1920x1080 resolution theme for Chameleon bootloader.
There's also a folder with LOTS of alternative icons if you have other OS/Drives, just check it out.
I've also included 3 folders (one for every watch model) for you to choose from, i mean, not everyone likes the gold looking

You may wish to edit the "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" to turn off the "Boot Banner" and the "Legacy Logo"

The thumb and preview images were taken with a phone camera, so they are not accurate... sorry  ...final result is better, just download and try, it doesn’t hurt

As always I like to thank Blackosx, CosmosCj, Enzo, rzooff, kexlam, xenatt, DMAUTOS and many others for inspiration

PS- Please, forgive my english mistakes, as English is not my native language

Instead of uploading all the files again, i've uploaded just the "theme.plist" file with % positioning for the "countdown" and "progressbar".
It's the closest i can get to the original absolute positioning with the % positioning, hope it helps

Hello everyone,

Here is the v2 of the Katana theme, i've improved the majority of the theme (or i think i did ) with lots of new alternative icons, new background, new menu, smaller font, etc, just try it out and see for yourselves
I've followed Blackosx suggestion of embossing/stamping the icons on the blade, but unfortunately, at 100px size, the effect it's not that noticeable, you can see a little, but not that much 
If anyone can help with that, i'm all ears.....and a few bunch of others organs too lol 

Kind regards to everyone
