feedback on new theme? (finished)

[crzyboyster]

Right now, I'm working on a theme to resemble the "clix" look on the nano without using custom builds. From the screenshots, you can tell that this is pretty much a complete theme, but I have some issues with the placement of the volume, file type and kbps info. Where is a good place to put them? I want this theme to be as informative and good looking as possible at the same time. Also, should any of the images be changed/moved/more colored rather than plain white? Keep in mind that this will be released as a theme pack with a bunch of different backgrounds. Here's what I have so far (attached).

the technical stuff:
10 level battery meter
7 level volume meter
all repeat and shuffle icons
time
album, track and artist
alternating next song info
track number of number

It does look nice already. The only thing I find are the "rough" images you're using for battery, volume, lock etc. IMHO they could use some AA and coloring.

Anyways, Great idea making it available for svn build; Keep up the good work!

[crzyboyster]

wait, AA means album art, right? I can'r do that in a standard build! that's the whole point (clix theme for standard build). also, they're "rough" because of the fact that there're going to be lot's of different bgs and the text is going to be white in all of them. They have to match, see? Anyways, I will change the bats to white to gray gradient and see how it comes out...

Thank you for keeping this theme for a current build. hopefully this theme will be in the wiki soon

I think in this context, AA refers to Anti-Aliasing on the graphics to make them look smoother ;-)

[crzyboyster]

to psycho_maniac: a version of this theme with 3 other backdrops is already available. the problem was that they didn't have all the necessary info and were incomplete, so i decided to refinish my own themes and reupload them.
also, i only make stuff for supported builds; I'm against custom builds because I know that the features for custom builds will come to the standard builds and I'm willing to wait. Also, barely any nano users use custom builds (from what I've seen from the few album art themes).

and the two themes after that.

This could take awhile so ill simplify it: I love it! Another job well done by crzyboyster!

[crzyboyster]

  that makes me feel good. i will release this wps as soon as possible if someone could anti alias the icons for me with shades of gray (keep the pink transparent background of the icons) and make them better in any possible way. attached are the icons in a .zip since I don't have any idea whatsoever on how to do it. Remember, whoever wants this theme uploaded would want to do this as this is the only holdup right now.  

also, for those wondering abou the different bgs for this theme, go to
http://pijulius.com/julius/images/jclix.jpg  I have included all of those bgs EXCEPT: the candle one, the bliss one, the tree one, the sunset one, and the octopus one. I am considering doing the tree one, but that's only if I have time...

Please help me! I will give you credit as well!

EDIT: it seems that no one wants to help or can't. I will upload this theme pack tomorrow the way it is...

Whoops, didn't think it could mean AlbumArt. I ment to say Anti Aliasing
