New Theme: Spartan Black [was: yet another name needed...]

(1/4) > >>

audio-i:


A while ago I made a theme for using the View Modes feature, which allowed to change in this theme, pressing one button, the colors of the icons and text in the lower panel, to three different colours (which was very cool). Now that the feature seems to be abandoned, I modified the theme and I want to upload it to the themes site, but the name I had for it doesn't fit anymore (3co or Trico, for the three colours), so I would really appreciate ideas for a new name... I seem to be stuck there.

If it helps, the theme was made to isolate visually the album art image (200x200), still showing complete information in the lower panel, using "minimalistic" icons and a white-grey-black palette. The second screenshot above is the no album art / hold screen (formerly another view mode).

Serenity:
It's a sharp looking theme--I can't wait to download it!

Going off of the minimal presentation, how about a name like Spartan Black?

Horscht:
This looks slick. I'd prefer a version that also uses the first screen on hold, showing nice big AA (maybe alternate the song info to Album, Genre and bitrate :) )

A name for such a simplistic theme is always haard to find. How about

"Beautifully Black"?

EDIT: I also can't wait to get the theme, allthough i am probably gonna have to make a few modifications to it for my usage. I myself prefer a time display for the battery :). Anyway, a great job!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions ;)

Looks like "Black" should be a part of the name... I like "Spartan Black", but I will think it over a little bit more... "Minimal Black" came to mind... will let you know when I upload it to the theme site

As you know, for now (on official builds) only one user font can be used on WPS (plus the unifont), so as you say, increasing the font size would leave a text line out.
I might port this theme for the Gigabeat sometime, the font could be bigger, and Album Art would be 240x240

Strife89:
I would happily buy an iPod just to use this theme as-is. It looks superb. :)

Maybe I'll try my hand at theme porting again. It'll be rough (I own a c200).

I cast my vote for the name of "Spartan Black."
