..but feel free to correct any elements position if you like :)
I will thank you :)

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 :)
Great.

Unfortunately, no AP, means less detailed themes, as you cannot fit the elements exactly where you want them with %P......balls lol :) :lol:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I only advise using % as a guide to making themes more easily adpatable to different resolutions. This way you will find your theme may be used by more users. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with sticking two fingers up to % and using pixel placement as it is the only way to control the elements for your resolution and sometimes this is necessary. For these, a simple notice to the user stating that using the theme on a resolution other than X:X may not look correct and will need tinkering with.  8)

Well done for initially building the theme using % positioning. I understand that this does not give you pixel perfect placement so you are right to use whichever method you can to achieve the desired result. I only pointed it out to you just incase it may have been a mistake using absolute values. I’m happy to tweak themes myself so they fit nicely at my resolution, but be prepared for other users to question why the theme doesn't fit well on their screen ;)

I know how long it takes to design and then create a theme so I fully appreciate your stance with time and patience to tweak things post-release. Besides, themes are typically designed with the designers own resolution in mind and it’s up to the end user to make it work for their resolution so please continue with your excellent work. :D

For ref, did create a resizing themes guide to help in this situation.

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 :)

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! :D

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 :)
