Hi Guys and Gals,
I have received comments that people dont really like the HTC splash screen as below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I myself am into branding, hence why I have stuck with the black trend.
Now I call upon people to submit original artwork for a NEW HTC splash. After about a week of posts and submission, I will call a poll to determine which is the most popular.
Here are the specifications for the submissions:
File Type: BMP File
Resolution: 24bit
Size in pixels: 240x320
Ok, the only thing I request is we can keep submissions aligned with the BLACK theme, and the mysterious nature and attitude of the ROM. It can range from anything evil to anything sexual, I dont care!
Looking forward to seeing your creative sides.

hehehehe, add a dash of cointreau...called a "snakebite"...have downed many many of em, as for the bootlogo the one you have is great
Heh... I love the current splash sreen too. I vote for it!
i personally like the current spawn one.. who's been complaining? they're probably old people.
Yeah!! How can people not love Spawn!!
My vote stays with the current
S.K.
keep it the same....
Yes, it's a nice splash... why change?
love to hear you decide to make new version....
Regards.
how about clean os.nb boss?

clean? that will be the end of BLACK
i vote for the spawn bootlogo as well,
it is nice, and "black enought"
I vote we keep it the same, the current one is niiiiiiiiiice.
that makes so much sense now..
haha with all these people voting to keep the spawn logo, I wonder who were the ones that were opposed to it.. It's funny, I imagine that the majority of people who liked the spawn splash didn't bother to say, HEY, i like that spawn splash.. whereas all the ones who didn't (however FEW i imagine there are) probably were loud and clear.
I like the current splash screen. Welcome to the dark side!
I am a Black lover too.
Stuff them if they complain don't let them download it, the Spawn one looks great and I'm more than happy with it, and I'm more than happy to leave the decision to make the boot screen anything you want.
Hi JJ. Great to hear that a new Black may be on the horizon!!
It seems to be that most of us are quite pleased with Spawn!! I too think that it fits in perfectly with the Black theme. Just my 4 cents worth.....(inflation sucks,eh?)
Later........
I may have a go at putting a/some screen/s together just for the sake of it, but actually like the original, and vote for that.

This is my first try at a theme... Made some icons myself, others grabbed from various sites, but the whole undertaking is a bit more than I expected, so I'll be at it for a while...
So please offer your best or worst criticism... I can take it... OH Yeh, the clock hands are not like that for real, I was too tired to sign the last update It'll be fixed in the next post with some other screen shots

Nice! I really like it. The artwork around the clock is part of the bg or part of the clock itself? Cuz I often thought that someone should do something like that. Nice start tho : D
nice icons i used them on one of of my earlier themes... lookin good, thought of doing that to tha clock 2... glad to see ideas come to life
Lookin good, cant w8 for it.
Very sharp! Keep it going, it looks great so far.

That's part of the clock... I may change the background though, this is just a first draft...
Nice work! Don't give up....I'm working on my first theme.... there's a lot more than I expected....but when I release it will be worth it! Keep up the good work man!
Aim=dead2hill <--- be my theme teammate lol, seriously....... I think it would be cool to have teams one could work on half and the other the other half....would push out themes faster and quicker updates...... I really don't know what I'm talking about...just a tad bored.....lol
Good work man!
I see a lot of images that look like .gif images,bro if you need any help with this theme let me know. Looks good great start.
Sweet I like it.
I first saw the title I thought it might be FLUX CAPACITOR like in Back to the Future. But it is still good.
Someone should make a BTTF theme lol.

Yeh bro, I can use all the help I can get... I'm working with .PNGs though, Do they seem a bit rough aroung the edges?
Paint.NET has a very powerful editor that allows you to edit individual pixels... Not sure if that's a big deal for you guys but that blew me away, haven't used anything like it before.
I like it! specially that clock (like everyone else)
Only drawback would be the color around the upper right digital clock, it's my personal pet peeve with some of the themes, when I'm doing something and want to check the time, a dark back ground on black text makes it hard.
but i think it's sweet
The htc HD is an amazining piece of technology as we all agree, and as I've seen from this forum people are really making the most of it by being creative and making everthing that wasnt quite up to scratch better (the skin for the calculator, new apps etc). Though one thing I have yet to see which is also something I feel lets down the device astheticly is the unlock screen. we all know the one, it's part of windows mobile and looks as if it's been drawn on ms paint, a bit of a let down. I searched the forums, and other sites and seen the likes of throtle lock, and S2U2 but to be honest if I wanted something like an iPhone I would have got an iPhone. Idealily I'd love something that fits in with touchflo 3d, perhaps something resembling the phone dailer, and not a new lock program simply a skin for the old one. So I was wondering has anyone made such a thing or if not is anyone now interested in making one, I'm sure this will be something that will be highly popular with HTC users as it'll help the device look more complete and well rounded rather then seem like theres been bits overlooked by the developers.
below are the images of what we currently have and what I'd like it to resemble

Hell ya!
Why is it so difficult? I really like to see a simply remodified skin for the standard lockscreen. We have tons of skins for kinda everything (including senseless stuff).
For me it is very important to use the look, because if I loose my HD, nobody should call with it or read important stuff about work/privacy.
Hmpf.
Bye,
The Hopeless-one.
I have seen such a skin, but unfortunately it was on the kaiser and it was a wm6.5 rom. i will do a little digging myself see what pops up and what i can create...
watch this space!
leebaber, you've hit the nail on the head with this one!
I have always found it weird nobody has skinned the horrible lock screen!
A Manila-looking screen would look awesome
k1nn34r, I'm watching eagerly!
if someone can solve this they'd be my HERO!!
HTC has done it somehow - it was much better looking e.g in Dutty's 3.3XT ROM - so its possible -I am not technical enough to know which files and how to change them.
Yes, the one in Dutty's V3.3 rom is perfect! I loved the skin that was used! Sadly it has been removed for whatever reason in his latest V3.4 rom. I've already requested (along with some others) a cab or the files to get it back to the skinned version.
Really hoping something comes of this as I to use the lock screen and prefer it over the Iphone look.
Will be keeping an eye on this thread!
I'm using Dutty's 3.3, how is this unlock screen much different from the original?

Why don't you compare yours with the screen shot of the ugly stock one above...you should see the glaring difference.

Image should be 480x800 no ?
But thanks
800x800 dude, just replace it with the one in the windows folder, make sure u backup the original one first
i haven't searched yet.. but do you know if there's a copy of the one gtrab used on his FIRST barebone release.... it was like the gree original 6.1 welcomehead but instead it was BLACK and said SEX1 windows mobile prof 6.5 looked waaaaaaaay better than the annoying blinding oragne one that i've got now... ?
Sorry but i made one 480x800 and it works like a charm !
Here it is ;-)
thats not quite what i was looking for.. but it's better than that stupid orange one.. ! thx
Hi spikegotti,
is there a possibility to get this picture without Windows-logo and text?
Thanks
Salenkova, if you use that size, you will never get landscape mode when booting up, why do you think the original welcomehead image and SE wallpapers for the xperia are 800x800?????
Here are 800x800 wallpapers and Sony Ericsson Panel images
Replace the sony ericsson panel images in the Program Files/Panels/SonyEricssonPanel/images folder
NOTE THAT THESE IMAGES CORRESPOND WITH THE NAMES OF THE CURRENT PANEL IMAGES...e.g. black, silver, and so on
awesome. thanks!
im pretty sure giant pic posts like this was what made XDA take a crap about a month ago... it'd be SOOOOO much better if you could just post ONE image as a prievew and the rest in a .zip... not everyone is on SUPER HIGH SPEED INTERNET!

They're hosted off site and aren't a load on the forum or the xda-dev server.
Anyone got the original Rhodium or Topaz background? The black one I mean.

Why should we all have to deal with this just because you won't pay for high speed?
And to the OP, these are great, thanks!
Nice uploads.
wow, that is some awesome art work! I'm gonna stick on a Windows Phone Logo by mcarroll on the black windows one and see how it looks

then you should be getting super high speed internet and not blame the the guy whose providing these nice backgrounds.
thanks man, they come great
Seeing as how we can't currently add wallpapers beneath the tiles, I figured we could at least get some going for the lock screen. I'll start off with a few right now, but plan to add a lot more. Right-click and "Save Image As..." on the wallpapers you want. You can find many of these wallpapers over at deviantArt.com. Enjoy.

Is there a way to get the WP7 backgrounds that come with the phone? Could someone transfer them or upload them online, then zip it.

That looks pretty clean. Where's the picture from? WP7 choice?
Was going to create a thread but I saw this one.
This is what I use atm to show off the very vibrant SAMOLED in Omnia 7.
Saw some very good ones here that I might use.
Very nice!!! Thanks
I'm working on a few myself. I'm just modifying a few I have to fit WP7 screen.
Will post them later.

Haha! I'm not sure how most of you react to this, i wasn't really planning to share it either. Just thought i'd fire up photoshop a bit since i enjoy doing that every once in a while. But I thought meh, it won't hurt.
This concept is far from done, for instance the battery icon, the text message menu and a few other things i'm personally still not satisfied with. I was even planning to design my own imagination of an app drawer. If i had the skill to implement this UI to a rom i'd probably spend a few days trying to hit the nail perfectly, but guess what? I have not the slightest clue of anything to do with a rom other then flashing.

Haha! The things over there are beautiful. As much as i like the things there, i find things like this need to be implemented into a rom to have the full feeling. When you click it, it just doesn't give the level of satisfactions without a proper animation. This, of course, is just my opinion.
I remember designing my own homescreen using the apps and what ever else methods they had over there, i loved the design itself but when clicking an icon it just fell so dull. It would open up regularly. If the icon would bounce off the screen or if the animations are tuned(implemented). I believe that would not only give a good design it would make it feel good too.
Very cool idea with that text thing :good:
Looks like winmo on the HD2 hahaha
Allright but needs a lot more work.
