Design XDA Devs - About xda-developers.com

Why has the forum such an ugly interface? No offense, but that brown greenish soft yellow stuff is kind of old school out of date and not very stylish. IMO it´s not very nice to look at.
Folks, I don´t wanna start a fight. But the design is not of good taste.

There's a new design in "beta" at the moment. Looks a lot like the portal.

Now in Open Beta : http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263

Wow, the beta looks awesome! Nice icons, still brown but a nice tone of brown, rounded edges and stuff... candy for my fastidious eyes.
Great effort.

Haha you scared me there for a moment, I thought you mentioned the redesign!

I like the new skin as well but I cannot agree with the color scheme.
Is XDA Developers partial to brown and gold?

I actually like the Brown and Gold, they pulled it off pretty nicely with the redesign.

I of course prefer more Dark Blue!

Dark blue is really standard and not modern anymore. Though tastes differ so no offense.

Love these themes. Not my style, but love your theme philosophy of not touchin the icons.
One thing I'd like to see is darker menus... I really hate the brushed aluminum look it's got now. That's one thing I think I REALLY like about the iphone's looks. The brushed aluminum menus immediately make me think "Windows 98" :/

WINDOWS PHONE-X..a design concept

hello all..just bored and tried to make a 3d model of a windows 'xbox" phone..i call it "WindowsPhone-X"....android has google, iphone has itune, and windowsphone has XBOX!!!..you guys know what i mean.
jan 04 2012 update - some more designs
Sorry but that reminds me of a iphone4s with the wp7 logo on it.
I like it, sans the colorful windows logo maybe all red or gray
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Kinda looks like the Lumia 900, or what we think its going to look like
its funky, i dont like the back Windows logo tho
conside having a colour coded brushed metal on teh back with that windows logo slightly raised to give it texture, also, if its aimed at xbox markets then consider replacing the windows logo with the xbox one....again, same colour as back only raised.
Its needs to be subtle, but subtle is good, the less something jumps out at you and yet still catches your eye, the better, in my opinion, it looks

I also wanted that brushed metal look, but my rendering skills is just limited at this time..im currently making more and applying that color..thanks for the suggestion! Give me more ideas and ill model it in 3d...thanks!
Reminded me of the iPhone 4s too, just much more beautiful.
Black and red combination looks good, wish there was a Lumia with that that color scheme.

These threads are great - nice to see people's creativity, and it would be even better if handset manufacturers were taking notes
It looks really good. Black and red is a great combination, and the buttons would be welcome for gaming.
I would love it if they could make a phone like this with translucent panels with perhaps leds so that when you change theme the outer chassis (subtly) changes colour too in the appropriate parts. E.g. so everywhere you have red could change to blue (or whatever accent colour you have selected).
Great job, keep up ... Greetings from Germany
hope things get realistic

You don't need to own an iphone to know that resembles one. Maybe I am off but it looks like you altered an iphone. The side and even the separation...

less bezel, more screen edge to edge... and when it comes to corporate logos, less is more: try a one-hue difference or frosted logo instead of the huge flag ?
nice renders !

Backgrounds for the Moto Connect "My Design" watchface

I thought I would start a thread where people could upload backgrounds that work well for the new "My Design" watchface on the updated Moto Connect app.
I'll start first with a black leather background that looks nice on the Moto 360. This is a simple yet elegant background that really looks good imo.
Here are a couple more for you sports fans.
What size are u guys using to make these?
The size doesn't matter. The app allows you to crop the image.

Its a beautiful phone.
It's got to be arguably the best looking Android phone made so far.
Easily the most gorgeous and most advanced smartphone of 2016. It's almost like every other smartphone pales in comparison.

It's so damn sexy in Black Onyx! Every time I look at it, I cry tears of joy and get put back on another emotional rollercoaster! Loving the dark theme I downloaded off the theme store along with my dark themed keyboard and Nova Launcher.
It's extremely aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The symmetrical curves really highlight the build and capture the eye. It's an all around stunner!

Best looking phone I think, I have both Blue Coral and Black...I need to decide one way or the other.
I had fun filming it and wanted to share it with everyone. Its the most beautiful thing to date. I had a Note 5 and did not hesitate jumping onto this band wagon.
Does anyone found a video where black onyx is compared to the blue one... Pre-ordered the black one but rly wanted the blue one only if it's not baby blue... a lot of video on Youtube have a very good lightning that makes that phone rich blue but rly it looks more like a baby light blue?
Most aesthetically pleasing phone I've ever laid eyes upon. Hands down.

NO. Actually, I REALLY wanted the Black Onyx version of the phone, because I simply prefer dark colors and thought the Blue Coral looked "girly" and "baby blue."
Black wasn't available, so I ordered the blue with the intention of exchanging it and paying a restocking fee later. And let me tell you dude. This Blue Coral Note 7... is.... f***ing astounding!
I don't know why pictures and videos all over the internet make it look so... light blue. But dude, it's waaaaay darker and nicer looking in person. It actually looks like a navy blue candy color. It's beautiful man! Trust me, check it out in person if you can, I decided to keep the blue once I actually took a look at it. In my opinion, it looks much better than the Black Onyx.
It's so nice man. I seriously don't know why it's so light blue looking in pictures, but until you actually SEE it in person, you wont be able to fully appreciate what I'm talking about. It's a shiny, dark, chrome/candy blue, with side panels that look silver in certain lighting, and red amber gold in other lighting. I haven't received my case yet but I have a feeling it's going to blend really well with both black and silver/gray-ish cases.

Thx for the feedback but I don't have any chance to look at the blue until Sept 16. Did a lot of research about the blue and at this moment I have a mix feeling about it. About the black not so much. So I will stick with it ?
Absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't so sure based on the renders, but seeing it in person is an experience. Even my iPhone fanboy friends have said, unprompted, that it looks and feels better than the 6S or 6S+.
This is what phones should look like.
Wasn't a huge fan of the Coral in person (went Onyx), but that's just a small quibble, because it's without a doubt the most beautiful consumer gadget I've ever seen. It feels just as good in the hand. This is Samsung's high water point, they should be proud of the design. It's almost no surprise that something like this would be somewhat fragile. Don't think I could bear to put it in much of a case.
I have to say I love the way the back and recents buttons are hidden. You only see them when they light up. I think it's one of those little attention to detail that makes this device so premium.

Question Pixel 6 Pro Colors!

Hi guys;
I'm gonna stick with Panda (Cloudy White),
Which color would you choose?
Thanks.
Edit: It took me about 45 minutes but I finally placed a Pre Order for a Pixel 6 Pro 128GB in Cloudy White and I get a pair of Pixel Buds A for free!
Stormy black for me. I'm gonna have a case on it anyways so colors don't really matter a whole lot. I like some of the regular P6 colors better but I gotta get that Pro.
Usually black since I'll also have a case on it...
Black is too plain. Sorta sunny isn't very masculine lol. White it is.
It's the between the sunny and black for me
Sorta Sunny or White. I would love the coral, but not to be on the Pro.

I would be happy with any of those colors. Sunny will be my 1st choice but if availability is an issue early on I will compromise. I hope the supply holds out for at least a short while.
Not sure yet,...either black or white.
Coming from a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren, which has the most stunning smartphone back I've seen so far, it's kinda tricky

Yeah, I had the Oneplus 6T MacLaren edition and it was beautiful! The oil slick back was sick. I'm a sucker for special edition phones. It's gonna be a tough decision for me on the Pixel 6 Pro or one of the special edition Asus ROG 5 phones. Decisions, decisions....

There is no Panda. What you are refering to is an abomination between milkish lightgrey and a darker shade of grey at top. There is no white to be found, nor black.
The three color combinations this year? It's the choice between lame, mediocre and meh.
Probably going with mediocre.
The colors this year.. dull, strange, sad.
I want my true black and white panda back
Not this greyish monstrosity.
At least I expected them to give us an evenly black colored phone. As the most basic and simplest of all. Instead we now have a darkgrey with a lightgrey topping, and they even have the balls to call it "stormy black" - even though there is no black anywhere to be found.
I suggest Google moves back to the color palette and starts simple. Obviously they have lost their way.
Looks like there's no 256 or 512gb options available.

I hear you!
Quick question. This is the first time I have bought a new phone right at launch or even within like 6 months of launch since the Nexus 6. How soon does it take for the dev community to confirm bootloader unlock and root? P.S. I didn't mean to post this in the Colors thread - LOL.

It seems to be fairly quick for prior Pixel's... But this one is unknown since Google is ditching Qualcomm for its own Google Tensor chip...
I got the Stormy Black. I had my heart set on the white version, but the polished chrome frame makes me want to gag. I find that a black frame is less distracting while looking at the screen. I figure I'll just slap a dBrand skin on it, and have a "Sorta Stormy White" with a black frame. If I ever crack the back glass, I'll be replacing it with the Stormy White version though.
My absolute favorite color was the "Sorta Seafoam" from the regular 6. The matte finish frame and the colors really work well together, but I wanted all the 6 Pro goodies.

Same for me. I liked the back colors of the yellow pro and ordered one. The gold metal frame bothered me to the point that I canceled it and ordered a black pro. I lost a week in delivery time but that's ok. A dbrand skin will look good on that black pro. I had one on my 4a and my 4a 5G. They give it a great look and a textured feel.
