ONGOING DEFAULT THEME CONTEST!!!

[crzyboyster]

So are we making any more progress with this theme?

[ZincAlloy]

Yapper, I like you new bars!

crzyboyster, I think the initial enthusiasm for this project is gone. we're making progress, but much slower now.

[crzyboyster]

Well that just sucks  
We made so much progress, just to not be able to finish it?
Another issue is that certain wps's are way behind and need like 5 things updated.

[Llorean]

You do realize, crzyboyster, that you're just as able as anyone else to work on this. Stating it sucks doesn't get things done, working on them does.

[crzyboyster]

I took your advice and made the iAudio x5 and iriver h10 version MUCH better.

Looks a lot better now.





Tell me what you think. Also, this would probably need bug checks as I did it all on a sim.

[ZincAlloy]

excellent. good work!

[crzyboyster]

I'll be fixing up the c200 version as well this weekend if I have the time.

[yapper]

crzyboyster:  Good stuff!  What font are you using?

[crzyboyster]

yapper: you mean on the c200 version? Well, there is a helvR08 size available (look on rasher's font pages), but I'm otherwise open to suggestions.

here's how it looks:



What do you think? Should I use it on the c200 version?

[yapper]

I've been using lazka's multi-language font, as it seems to solve at least some of the multi-language issues, without needing to have multiple versions of the theme.

It's 12px high so I don't know if it would work for you.

[crzyboyster]

No, the 12 pixel high font would not work for this port or most other ports. It needs to be atleast 10 pixels high to be considered.

You mean 10 pixels or less?  

[crzyboyster]

Well, 10 pixels would work for most, but 8 pixels would be best for the very small screens like the c200.

Here's how the c200 version is looking, still kind of buggy.

(The text would be centered, though)

[ZincAlloy]

crzy, I think we decided that the icons should have priority over the logo, especially on smaller screens. That's why the logo was left out.

[crzyboyster]

Well, the problem is that we are trying to make it look similar on all targets, right? So if we got rid of the logo and made the icons bigger (like they were), they're just too bug relative to the screen size. Also, this way it makes it look more compact, just like the screen. If we're going to make the text small, make it all small.

I honestly think it looks good as it is, what does everyone else think?
