Xda Revamp? - About xda-developers.com

has xda developers ever thought about some new themes or just a new look?? not thats its unsightly,its pretty nice to access and use, just wondering??

I'd be happy with something that was a bit more QVGA friendly, I find it somewhat cumbersome to navigate this site from my 8525 - maybe it's me... who knows

Actually I was thinking of both versions, but the pda version does load much quicker

My problem with the PDA Site is that everything on it is at least one day behind everything on the main site...

Maybe cutting out things like avatars, signature pictures, embedded tags like
{
"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 see your point, and will back down.
I'm quite happy with it as it is, and the site loads fine on my prophet.

Hmm, as far as the PDA version is concerned, I can't speculate on that for I have never used it. I always browse XDA Dev in full view Opera Mini. Even then, I find that the layout of the forum is quite clean and manageable. I would not recommend any unnecessary changes. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but fix the broken stuff (haven't noticed any so far)

[THEME]Periodic - WIP - Any interest?

I was playing around with this theme for personal use, never really planned on releasing it. Most the icons were thrown together quickly and I've already started making more polished ones. I've been running the Magic4.9 since it came out and keeping up with that has taken most my time lately lol. If there are others interested in it I will continue working on it for release.
Let me know.
Also, if anyone has and better suggestions for letter combinations please let me know. I'm thinking of changing Messaging from Me to Tx.

I think its kinda cool, though I don't know how much i would use it. College chemists would probably love it but then again maybe not. At least there is starting to be more interest in designing new themes after the comp.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Like I said it was just something I was playing around with. I was trying to make a set of icons that you could tell what it was at a quick glance...

Order of the Devices in the forenlist

Hello,
what do you think about a re-order of the devices in the forenlist? the newer htc devices are all at the end of the list and we have to scroll a lot? Maybe ist is possible to reorder it to the top of the list?
Rgds
MyPass
I agree...better yet have user be able to decide which phones/devices appear when they are logged on.
This has been asked several times before...
First devies goes up and newer goes down, imagine changing the way it has been for years!
No way!, I like it just like it is now
Just my opinion,
While most people think reordering is a good idea. However I'm used to where everything is so please don't move it or you'll make me mad, along with a lot of other "ole timers."
This has been posted before.
And believe me guys...you donĀ“t want to see JimmyMcGee or any other "ole timer" mad

If you really want the page re-ordered (and you use Firefox), you can hide the stuff you don't want with a plug-in called GreaseMonkey. It does take a small amount of scripting on your part- but, hey, why should the admins do all the work?
Greasemonkey basically runs scripts on pages as they load, which makes it possible to customize the way you see (and interact) with other people's websites.
If you're too lazy to do that, CTRL+F will save you a bit of scrolling.

lets play, spot the theme!

EDIT: I APOLOGIZE FOR THE REALLY BIG SIZE PICS LOL, BUT I THINK ITS EASIER TO TELL.
alright guys, so its slighttlyyy not phone related, but since most people here take
up phone customization and a minor to your desktop customization, this seems
the perfect place to check, also i dont really belong to any other communities
haha, so here goes!
my friend was showing off his desktops, and its just so sick looking.. hes got so
much going on, yet its so simple. i really wanna find out what hes using, but i
dont exactly wanna come out and ask her lol.. -__- so i have two pictures of his
desktop, can anyone spot any of these themes hes using and tell me what they
are? ive been able to identify some of them, like rocket dock, but the rest im still
unsure about. the items in red are what im still trying to find. any ideass guys?

How To Make Your Multitasking A Lot Faster And More Convenient [needs root]

Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this
{
"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"
}
That's about it!
already posted
dear i think u should check the forum before you post... the thing GMD gestures already posted and described in the forum

Thanx! looking good
I'm new to windows 8 and just starting to learn the new metro, apps and stuff..
I also use Google reader alot!
Have your app on the side of the screen and see all my new Google Reader items...
Only thing is I have to manually refresh it to get new items... would like it to auto refresh so new items 'pop up' on the side
Maybe a way to set minutes between refreshes?
And one other thing...
when I Browse original source and then Launch Browser.. nothing happens.. I have Firefox browser as default browser.. maybe thats why??
Link is broken? I would really like this app...
it's a very good app bro faster than any rss reader i've ever used on win 8
any mirror?
