[Q] Why is XDA all yellowy? - About xda-developers.com

Refreshed my page and all of a sudden everything is yellow? WTF, I'm scared of change!
And all of the posters information is now spread across the top instead of on the left side. It looks like I'm looking at an older version or something.

Scroll down to bottom of page and look for drop down box. Probably says xda classic. Change to xda 2010.

I will never leave the "classic" view, since I grew up with it! Just can't get use to the "2010" look...

It misses some info needed "@ least for me" when on classic but for speed it's awesome.

Thanks are meaningless anyway for the Pokemon Masters trying to get as many as they can.
I switch to Classic layout a few times a year just for memories.
I still remember the older blue-ish phpBB layout.

That's a bit before my time. I've seen plenty of phpBB forums though - it makes me cringe thinking of drupal and joomla!
I do remember struggling to get used to the 2010 look, but now I couldn't have it classic for long at all.

There's supposed to be a new layout this year. The plan was to have a new one every two years. I'm skeptical, though.

As long as there aren't new features with the new style then I don't really care. I do find it annoying that the classic and 2010 styles have functional differences. It caused me problems when I was making the XDA Toolbar

I use the toolbar solely for the return to top button. It's invaluable now.

Get a today launch application & some heavily copyright protected iPhone icons...and you're set...just don't let Apple's legal eagles get you! They don't like people 'borrowing' their icons...I think they sent out lots of letters...probably a reason not to put them in ROMs? Then again, if you don't use their icons, you're not doing anything wrong.
I read about that somewhere... we should change the icons just a bit.... it would be fun to see the looks on their faces. Im not a lawyer but i think if u change the background of an icon from white to an off white u can get away....
just a suggestion
How about some actual iPhone functionality?...finger scrolling for your contacts. (from elsewhere on the forums)

I've been using it for the last day or 2 and it seems OK. I am flicking the rolodex right now with Messaging, ActiveSync, Pocket Mechanic and Call Block running. It's probably labouring but I can still flick away like Steve Jobs.

Frankly, even after a lot of years, anything that reminds me of Apple, makes me wanna puke.
I wouldn't like to install such a thing even by accident.

Apples web site had all of their iPhone icons available for download ... yeah free ... you're just not allowed to use them ... very strange, and if it makes the news, its free advertising.

Re Shuffle the Main XDA Forums

You have a very nice long listed of devices listed on the main forums windows, is there any way they could be shuffled a little based on their popularity? There are some phones that look like they are not too popular near the top and middle and some near the bottom that see a lot of activity. Ok, so I 'm a little biased because I'm a Raphael user, and it is way near there the lower 2/3rds but it does have a lot of activity...
Has been asked many times. But, the answer is the order will not change. Besides, we are all use to the current order We would be lost if it changed

Completly agree!
To get round this problem I simply find the forum I am interested in and save it in my browser as a favourite.
Each time I log on the forum I want is there without me having to scroll through realms of dead forums.

Yea, I bookmarked mine as well. I was just thinking about it one day when I was trying to scroll through on my Fuze to get there to mark it

Well, the acidic orange of the Ubuntu Forums isn't much better
Though, after the graphical overhaul of Ubuntu I got no Idea if the Forum is still orange

Well, that's true, it's never been pleasant on the eyes to visit.
I actually find these colors calm and soothing, compared to some I've seen out there. Although I prefer the standard vB blue.
Personally I really like these colours...the old yellow theme is horrid. Standard vB blue theme is so old, boring and common. This is afresh clean look in my opinion
why is xda brownish on some of my devices (desktop, sgs2 on sgs2 xda forums) and yellowish on other devices (notebook, sgs2 on the general xda forums)? very strange
edit: never mind, i just found the Quick Style Chooser drop down at the bottom of the page. but still weird why not all devices choose the default style (which i guess is xda2010?)...

Same... It's not to bright yet not to dark where it will make you want to close your windows.
I think the colors are quite neutral and easy on the eyes.

TSF Shell Pro 3d Laucher will be Available 29 Feburary 2012

here is the new news...
http://www.talkandroid.com/93005-ts...-8-days-start-your-drooling-now/#.T0faEEzVy8k
Quote from their website: "With additional features of the TSF Shell official release time is determined in February, when will be published in ANDROID MARKET, so stay tuned."
I was doing some snooping and Google translating from tsfui.com and it looks like this awesome Launcher will be available in the Android market in February. It looks amazing. I can not post shortcuts yet as I am still a noob on this site (I am not worried about it but if you want to see for your self I left some references at the bottom of this post).
There is a You Tube video for anyone who has not seen it yet, just do a google search for TSF Shell and you can see a demo video on how well it seems to work.
This would satisfy my waiting for ICS or CM9 for a little bit (until one of them comes out). I just love the fluid motions, intuitive folders and customization's that are available. Can't wait to see this on my phone.
For reference purposes, I found this by going to the bottom of their home page and selecting the news icon in the Site Map.
To translate- let the page load completely then right click and select translate to English - oh yeah, I only use Chrome so I am not sure about other browsers.

That's the video
I like it can't wait to try it out it looks pretty neat
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
video does look cool. i just hope it's not $15 like spb shell 3d. although this looks more robust i just can't justify $15 for a theme.
Maybe it's just me, but this and all other 3D launchers look really, really cluttered. There's like 25 different buttons on the homescreen!
But hey, to each his own. Looks nice, nonetheless, just looks a bit too cluttered in the video, for me.

i can totally understand that. i personally believe something like this to be worth the $15, based on the sole fact that they are making android do things i have never even thought of, let alone seen. but, i WILL wait to see if the Go Dev team tries to implement some of these new techniques/features. if i have to, ill wince and fork over the $15 though lol

completely agree. one thing i thought to myself like 6 times during the vid was, ''i hope i can turn that feature off, i hope i can hide that button''. still worth it imo. and i will TOTALLY report back once it comes out and i get it.
Looks neat but seems totally impractical.

Totally agree....If something just looks good but makes things harder to use I do not see the point.
You guys want to try a cool launcher. It lets you put items anywhere on the screen. You can also scroll each page down like in WM7. The developer is actively working on all the bugs and I emailed him last night with some and he got back to me within 15 minutes....Definitely work checking out and will be awesome when everything is ironed out. I also run my screen at 160 density and it makes this launcher even cooler...Check it out.... SSLauncher

You guys do realize that most of the vid is pretty much just showing how you set it up. Its kind of unfair to judge it from that. Setting up a launcher is always the tedious part. I want to see the launcher in action once its setup to your liking
Tapatalkin it from my Epic 3g Touch
Also I feel technical launchers like this is what makes me love android. If you want a launcher that is plain and just works isn't the iPhone kind of the winner in that dept. Sad to say
Tapatalkin it from my Epic 3g Touch
WHAT!!??
HOLY CRAP!! WHAT'S SPB SHELL?? LOL Yeah...don't care if it's officially the priciest app on the market, I'm gettin' me some of that! AMAZING interface!!
Do any of these launchers use gpu acceleration like touchwiz?
What's the point of using a launcher/rom if it sucks up twice the battery than stock?
Nice interface, but again it just reminds me all the more why I stuck with Zeam Launcher.

this. but, part of my enjoying a launcher IS in setting it up. which is why i LOVE Go Launcher. SO many options and eye candy! there are still little quirks about it that to this day, when i perform an action, i whisper ''man, i love this launcher...''

Which is completely fine, you want the minimalist experience. we are also commenting in another thread, and you mentioned you wouldnt paint your car. and i have no problem with that, but there are definitely people who will want this type of interface and who will paint there cars. its just not for ya, i guess. bet you get WAY better battery life than me though LOL

[APP]Iphone Notifications Style Lite

As the name of the thread says. If you want iphone style notifications then download the app from the market. It is free and pretty sweet.
Video is below:
Link to the app is here
Enjoy and if you like the app hit the thanks
Credits to the developer who made it and to TechandMe who reviewed it.
just in case
If you didn't develop this application, you should't be asking people to hit your thanks button You're just here to provide a link to the Play store.
This is sweet, good job!

true and you do have a point sir. but i wonder if i did not come across this app while watching the review on youtube i wonder how many people on these forums would know about it..probably not a lot. just sharing like i said and giving people more options on how to customize their phones since we have the best OS in my opinion that lets us do this without the need to root.
Like the whole point of android..it is about sharing what we have and what we know..And i know about this app and wanted to share it with the people here. if it is in the wrong place by all means move it but i feel if people are going to share apps that they find on the market and want to share it with people then i think i am in the right place for it.
Using it..... would be using it for sometime until i get bored with this new stuff
nice find
thanks for finding/sharing
