I really need somebody to beta test this and report findings
i would like somebody to back up and then install the gant theme and then install the default theme and then back again. Take various snapshots and send the shots to cresho@earthlink.net so i can post them up in zaurusthemes with your handle name here in the forums to give credit to pic takers.
report any missing icons or odd behaviours.
thanks a bunch.
ill have nioar and oslinux up as soon as i finish the ones for the c1000.
porting over takes me roughly 2 hour. doing the actual ipk files and themes takes me a full day.

Where is the download for the package? I looked at the Themes page and didnt' see any links for the 6k.
Thanks.

Cresho:
Not sure if the 6000 icons will work on my 5500, but I ran through the install/unsinstall.
Uninstalled the umicons theme then installed the gant theme. During installation I got a message that the "Extractof some files are failed". Rebooted to no icons at all.
Tried to uninstall and was told an error was encountered by ipkg.
Tried to install the default and met with the same messages all the way through.
Can I uninstall through the console? If so, how?
Thanks for the efforts,
Psion
-
it wont work. sizes are way different.
-
Tried to copy the 48x48 size of the umicons.
Was that the wrong size?
-
you want a gant theme for the 5500? its around 100 different icons.
just say the word and ill work on it.

No need to knock yourself out. I realize how much effort goes into doing this. Took me awhile yesterday to adjust each of the gant icons in the Cxxx version down to what I thought was the 5500 version (48x48). I even adjusted the gant wallpaper to 240x320. Plus I noticed a lot of icons similar to umicons (yes, I know their based on the same).
If I knew what size to make the gant icons for the 5500, I could help out by adjusting them myself.
You and bam seem to work on this a lot...just thought I'd contribute if I could - even if it's small potatoes.

Hey, I've gotta blow away my Z today anyway, I'll get you some snaps.

Well it errors out with a buttload of errors.

Okay this one works! Really cool looking, think I'll keep it. The only thing I don't like is the startup picture. I'll e-mail you the snaps I took in a minute.

Man I hate replying to myself, but I replaced the system fonts with the ones from here (http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/?p=15). I really like the look of this font. Much nicer on the eyes.

man those fonts look so rad!
im trying calibre...looks sweet.
I fixed the bootup screen as well as mediaplayer and opera icons.
here is the final file and please report any errors.

after i get 2 more up for the c1000, ill put them up for the sl6000 as well along with oslinux.
-
These install just fine. Though it looks funny when you uninstall the other ones, until you do a reboot nothing has an icon! Makes the gui really fast though!

alrighty then!
all icons work and everything is fine.
thanks BarryW for flying the friendly skies.

No problem!

BarryW, Cresho:
Those icons were designed specifically for the 6000?
What's the icon size difference between the 6000 and 5500?
Plus, how were you able to change the "start" button on the taskbar?
-
its not hard porting gant over. ill resive em and stick it in a ipk file.
im in school. i have a cacko theme rady to go and......hope to havethem up by tonight

I installed the Trebuchet font and it looks awesome. Thanks for the link, BarryW!
However, when I rotate my 5500 screen, the font goes upside down and backwards. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.
-
hello out there,
@barryw> how you managed to install those fonts on the tosa? the sizes
and also the names between the existing helvetica fonts on the tosa and
the replacement fonts are really different.
@cresho> nice work. the default tosa icons package doesnt seem to be available
from your page. i remounted the root file system, removed some files and
overwrote the existing icons with the giant ones. advantage: it doesnt consume
more memory. disadvantage: backuping gets more complicated (nand + normal
backup). maybe i will turn back to your solution...

You download them from the site I posted. I have found out since installing rotation doesn't work well with them. They are renamed to match the names of the fonts already on the Z, so they replace them. I almost never rotate the screen so it doesn't bother me, they don't replace the console fonts though.
-
@barryw> thank you, it works. using thick fonts in appearance
caused the trouble for me. i have no problems with rotation.
nevertheless i am used to the original fonts, the new ones
seem to be arduous for my eyes.

What is the name of the compact flash icon located in the system tray/task bar?
I installed the Noia, but that one didn't seem to come through.

Hi,
I tried installing the Calibri font from KataBlog on my SL-6000. The results are not too good as you can see. Is something other than a Qutopia reboot required?
Thanks,
Doug

Never mind. You go into Settings | Appearance | Font tab and uncheck "use thick fonts". That did it. These are beautiful fonts.

there's a folder cardmon/ there that contains pcmcia.png.
should it be linked somewhere?

Here's a question:
For those who have changed their fonts on SL-6000, have you experienced any problems with:
- alarm messages from the Calendar application (seems to lockup the UI)
- running the help viewer (same)
- changing date/time
I'm seeing all of this erratic behaviour from a machine that has been solid for over a year.
Thanks,
Doug

is this related to the theme? I need to know.
Try no t using the font and try using the theme only and see what happens. or just install theme and play with it for a few days on a fresh os. I need to know since i don't own a sl6000 and noia and oslinux themes are almost done.
