RBx - New theme in progress

(1/5) > >>

aim:
I'm not much good with developing code, however I'm pretty handy with Photoshop/The GIMP, so I decided to start a theme! Read the wiki and sampled code from existing theme's, including: SpartanBlack, Cabbie v2.0 and Amarok. Currently only for Toshiba Gigabeat F series.

I couldn't really think of a name, work in progress, here are some screen dumps of the current situation :)

   

   
240x320x16

To do:

- Move the 'rockbox' text up slightly to clear the now playing.
- Change the selector bar from that hideous blue :P
- Include album art support
- Fix the background and rockbox logo, I'm not quite happy with it yet; the text is too... 'average' and the fade doesn't work very well currently.
- Ask for opinions :) So shoot!

I also made a splash of the current logo for those that are interested.


240x74x16

Ezraghast:
Hi, very nice theme! The blue isn't as hideous as it might be elsewhere but an x-green matching selector bar would be much nicer. I like the logo as is although i would fade it out more..

Yotto:
Should the reflection of the "x" not also be green?

I like it but that distracts my eye.

I don't like the idea of a solid green status bar, perhaps a green glow? illuminating the bottom of the screen? I'll try both.

You have a keen eye :) You may also notice the reflection is a slightly lighter shade - it's deliberately left a different colour, the x was meant to stand out on its own, while the reflection be more of a subtle aesthetic eye-pleaser.

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming! I'll get to work on another revision :) Well, perhaps after some work I've gotta do!

EDIT: Here's my revised logo with a green glow status bar.

   

Ezraghast:
What about a grey selector bar (as in the 'rockbo' of the original) gradating to a green tip?
