Black/dark Theme For Sharp Rom?
« Reply #30 on: September 13, 2006, 02:27:05 am »
here is an update.  now im working on the borders, taskbar, and title bar.

Need some opinions  Im still tweaking the icons so the colors will stick out more.  On the zaurus, it looks plain white but i found a good combination that will do the trick.
]


Its funny though, I had a background I designed a while back just like this one.  But the guy does something to it i cant.  So im sticking with this background since it reminds me of the steel metalic theme i did for the zaurus sl5500 that i never released.

more screenshot !!!!

but it looks great !!

perhaps it's too dark to read the name of the icon ...

do you create your icon yourself ?

The IPK is done.  it is finalized with background and startup screen along with a new "flash" when pressing the icon down.

Now I wont release it until i have the taskbar done along with the Dark Materia color scheme.

You should give a rough timeframe estimate, so folks can get off the edges of their
chairs.   I suspect it will be the most popular theme used on the Sharp ROM.

I realized why that theme remided me of the original Myst game.  There were pages
you had to collect that look extremely similar to that page with the folded corner.
One of the levels, the Mechanical Age, had a building with geared turnstiles that
look very similar to the gears icon.  The arrow icon on the Todo application looks
like the cursor did, when you wanted to turn around (reverse your direction).  The
color scheme, hand drawn entities, and the attention to the smallest detail also
lends to creation of a pleasing user experience.  And I just noticed that that mask
icon on the task bar, is similar to a tribal mask that was on the wall of one of the
rooms.   I'm sure I could go on, but again I this work is really great...

the ipk is done.  Working on the color scheme is a problem that i am now expiriencing.  It seems as if I change the color scheme, the tick or untick buttons are not visible.  I just need to find the problem and fix it.

the color scheme is getting on my nerves.  It seems that if I change a color scheme to lets say dark, the text goes white on the zaurus.  If the color scheme is light, then every text is dark.  the problem is when you put a checkmark on something, it will not show a checkmark.

if i understand right, if the color scheme is dark the text is white or if the color scheme is light, the text is black.

Is there a way to apply a color to the text ?

I found that ZStyle can change the color of the text
