Avatar images

Now that I'm on this look-and-feel trip...
Not sure why I never did before: I've just turned on phpBB's 'Avatar' feature. This means everyone can now upload a small image to sit below their name beside every post. It doesn't have to be a photo, it can be anything you like. Maximum is 80x80 pixels and 10kB.
I haven't turned on the 'gallery' for people to pick from ready-made images. But if someone has a really nice collection of crazy images that would somehow apply to this community, I might.
I'll upload as soon as I think or something suitable...

Not sure, if it´s a good idea to be able to use Avatars.
They will bring up the amount of traffic of the website, and if you want to read this forum online with the xda, you have to turn off pictures or have to download much more...

Black Default 6.1 Background request ?

Hello guys, I've never seen a black default background for 6.1, can someone crank this out, I'm currently using the default green one which is cool but I loose a lot of contrast on the top icons, I'm hoping that with a default black background the contrast is more apparent and thus making the top icon bar usable again. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
JL

not around my comp right now but why not take the green one, convert to grey scale, and adjust levels?

You took the words out of my mouth, convert to black and white then alter the contrast.
Do you know what the default green background is called? Then i can get on to it.

Yeah, I wish I knew where that file is located, can this be done on Windows Paint, I'm kind of a huge rookie but I guess I can try if I can locate the file but hold on, I recall having a blue Sliding Panel background, let me go find that

Then i can get on to it. here is the file in blue

If someone can Photoshop this to a cool looking metallic grey or some similar color that would render the MRU icons with some contrast enough to differentiate among them it would be great

If you do want it altered please be specific as to what you want.
And thanks showaco will have a look in morning it's way ast my bed time

Looks good to me...
If you ever need an actual editor (not ms paint) here's a few ideas for you to play around (all freeware or gnu) Gimp is the most powerful http://www.gimp.org/, paint.net http://getpaint.net or something that is similar in interface to pshop is artweaver http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version.

Sent you PM, finding it hard to get the gloss, i'm trained in photography and tend to use the printing process to get gloss, have been playing about with softness of the image, am going to pass this on to someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of editing lol, i'm using Corel Pro X2, if anyone can beat me to this do it, i'm sure we must have photo editing peeps on here? I think it is done via layers from what i can find?
Hope peeps dont mind just attached a couple of my images.

Thanks, just PM you, these image are pretty hardcore, lots of detail, the DOF on these images is hugh F64 lol, remember that, thanks I really appreciate your efforts.

Nice one taken with a Fuji s5700 not as good as the old Nikon f501 f401 slr but the time came that digi is so much cheaper.
I see you take photos to as you mention depth of field and aperture.
The tinted pink is in the picture take not after process, sepia on a very nice day.
Will keep you posted.

yes, I do, I took 4 BW classes in college and grew to love it, its only a hobby though, Leica M Rangefinder, Canon F1, and a point and shoot digital

Skinning of Android

Hi folks
I am thinking about skinning the Android, and I am starting to understand how to do it as we speak
I have discovered the correct files, and the only problem I am having at the moment, is lack of creativity >.<
Does anyone have bright ideas on how it should be?
Best regards,
Zappza

Quite like the original skin with Android. The 3 screens allows me to add anycuts to the apps grouped by personal stuff, daily apps and then browser/net stuff.

Skin ideas
Look for the thread that talks about the G2... some interesting pictures there.
--M

Basically the only things I can to currently to get it to look a like the mockups, is to change the icons to be more shiny.
That could work out
Will try to get some work done next week, I have lots of homework at the moment >.<

Think I'll pass on this one.
I don't like the design on the X360 dash.
Perhaps the Wii though, I'll have to check it out when I get my Wii

I think it would be cool to have three tabs at the bottom for file shortcuts.
That way instead of having to put custom folders on the desktop one could just swipe up one of the three tabs.
Granted you can store many shortcuts on the side desktop screens. But, I like the swipe motion from the bottom better.
Also, I would love to see some different color themes. Maybe reverse the black/white of the window shade and made the app slider a darker grey.

What about making the icons transparent; like the blackberry storm.

please dont copy the iphone or xbox or whatever..i mean the color schemes are alright
but just make something pure eyecandy please..show us your creativity!!!

I haven't read so much in the Android Documentation yet, but my logic senses that this is some pretty heavy modding of both the graphics and the .xml files that control how things are setup.

This could be possible without any big fuss.
Transparent icons when inactive, and if pressed they become opaque.

Creativity >.<
I will try to sketch something while at school, and we'll see how it goes
Perhaps I will start something simple, such as just changing the icons and some of the buttons with some other icons. Just to get a grip of it

you know, something black and shiny like the diamond interface always looks cool
black, dark grey will always be slick..look at HTC Manilla interface for good examples..
let me kow if you need any photoshop help...i am good with the pixels (or so i think ) not with scripting though

Something with a wireframe / Tron / Neon look to it, with icons that look like japanese writing, but really have english text.

Yeah, I like black but I prefer dull black, especially since I have the Black G1 ^^
Some Photoshop help would've been great
A starter could've been just to make the standard android a lot darker, just to familiarise with how we can edit the settings
Will start on Tuesday probably, my girlfriend is visiting me from Norway, so I'll probably have other stuff to do this weekend

What's the news on this?
And would this require root? =/

Currently nothing yet, but I will hopefully get started tomorrow
This will require root yes, as the only way I know of is to replace the files in question in the modified RC8 or RC30 image from JesusFreke.

could someone get me the source graphics... pdspatrick AT gmail DOT com.....I am rather good with fireworks, and I wanna make a skin for all of ya, but I don't have the capability to sign the update.zip's
Cheers!

[THEME] Blackberry Storm for WAD2 by Mallman

First of all special thanks to the guys at Lakeridge Software forums for getting all the icons rounded up and laying the foundation for this. Also, this isn't an exact mock up because I personally think the storm clutters too many screens with the same icons over and over. If you want to change it then have at it
and yes, it "clicks"
go to www.swampthing.net and grab it while its hot!!!

nice !
not tried it (don't actually get my THD till next week) but the screenies look really classy - i'll be trying this - nice job.

But I suppose it saves me the time of trying to convert the one which PPC.apache put up!!
Well done!

all i did was pretty much put my twist on his with some resizing of things and such.Shoot I say you build your own as well bro. Mine isnt purely Blackberry Storm, it is blackberry storm by mallman I don't like all of the BB out of the box so if you were going to make and exact duplicate then by all means continue your work.
Thanks for the kind words though bro, didn't mean to beat you to the punch. I just like making themes.

Just had a play with yours. I like the icons and I think I might change the front page around to be the calendar page with some more information as I like to have my appointments on the front page.
WAD2 is really good for stuff like this

yeah nothing touches WAD2 as far as the limitless customizations. I can honestly say that your imagination is the only limitation. And please do publish your BB themes for us. You may spark more ideas in my head Good luck on your tax returns. Im getting a CPA this year which is ironic since I work for INtuit (the company that makes TurboTax) and file for free. lol.

MALLMAN, loving the theme, like i mentioned over on swampthing. Since there is not alot of commenting on your forum, I decided to ask this here. Would anyone know where to find the icons for this theme? I know there are various icon packs around the forum, but i cannot find any that would go good with this theme.

If you're looking for he phone one then I have bad news There isnt one int he pack. i have tons of icons for this. Here are the ones I made so you can use them and link it in.
I have ported these in like you and I talked about, i also changed the weather icon to be much more attractive. Attached those too if youre interested. I have also added a couple of notifiers for missed calls (it is positioned the phone button on a transparent icon and an appointment notifier positioned behind the calendar icon. Finally, I have cleared out the calendar icon on the front so it always displays the current day of the month.
ANd yeah, there will never be conversation on swampthing like there is here lol. I couldn't afford the bandwidth if there were.

I have updated this by making a phone icon and updating the weather icon as well as tweaking the weather page a little.

Hi Mallman
i have installed into my HTC HD your "HTC Mallmans_15_Tab_Windows_Icons" and now when I start the system exit a lot of pop-up with "Failed to load skin".
I don't use TouchFlow3d, I use simply Today with many plugin.
Where is the problem into registry ? Where can I look ?

It looks very nice but requires paypal to download the theme!

[Q] How to split series

Hi, I'm currently designing template, but I'm having trouble with the "Series layout". I need to split the series or add space between let's say Tuesday and Wednesday, but I can not figure out how to do that. To explain you what I'm trying to achieve is that I have vertical battery percentage bar and I want the horizontal series of Monday to Sunday going through this bar. And here comes my issue, as you can't edit series the way you can with other stuff, so I can't edit the code to add space between specific days. I know I could use spacing, but that would put spaces everywhere which would ruin the design. So is there a way how to do this, or is it just not possible at all?
Thank you

I don't think it's possible with the build in series, but you could make your own with some rich text modules, markup/BB code and advanced parameters:
