New theme (iPod 5g): DIY Contraption
« on: June 23, 2008, 05:37:35 AM »
I bent all the shapes for this theme using steel wire, so I though I'd call it "Wired", but it just doesn't feel right. ::)
Are there any ideas for another name?
Some criticism on the theme would be nice too.

EDIT: The theme is now posted to the wiki as DIY Contraption

Hmmm... wood background... metal decoration...

How about, "Contraption"?

"Bent out of Shape" or perhaps just "Bent"

Bad names in terms of UK English at least. "Bent" has several bad connotations...

Are they terribly bad? It has a slightly negative connotation in the US, but not really offensive or anything, and I thought it might make a decent joke since it's actually a rather good theme. That being said, if it's worse across the pond than it is here, I withdraw it.

Not terrible no - but some easily offended people might complain :-\

Bent either means dishonest (e.g. a bent copper is a policeman you can bribe), or is a derogatory term for gay in the UK :)

What about Warped?  :)

Warped is synonym for bent.

The wood design looks warped.

The metal design looks warped.

Overall, nice theme.  I think the menu hilight colour could stand to be a darker brown, to stand out from the background.

Thank you all for the suggestions!
I decided to combine two of them and call it "DIY Contraption", they both fit the theme and fit together in my opinion.

cool_walking_: Thanks, and I agree with you, I'll use darker selector colours.

It seems like rockbox.org is down right now, but I'll upload this to the wiki as soon as possible. :)
It is now uploaded!
