Update 8/21: New iPod 5G WPS: Applebox.
« on: August 07, 2006, 10:57:49 PM »
Alright here's the theme I've been working on for the last 24 hours or so. I call it Applebox, and you can get it here!



Enjoy!

Update 8/9/06: Now looks more like iTunes. Darker Progress Bar. If sleep timer is running, time left displayed at bottom right.

Update 8/21/06: Added decibel view on hold. Also added current song album position, bitrate and codec while on hold.

Wow outstanding and thrilling theme. Love the nice design, maybe a different font.

thanks. I haven't decided on a font yet either, still trying out different ones. Problem is I want it to be big enough to see in the car so there is no need to change themes for the car.

maybe Hex #BFBFC0 for the font. the black really kills it for me so change the black to a more silvered color
Keep ROCKing on!

I agree, i don't really like the black either. However, I'm gonna do a little reworking, and I think it'll turn out well, black font included. Well, maybe a little more gray. Expect a new screen tonight.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I can see where you were going with this ;)
Keep shaping it out and it could come out great.

Perhaps if you wanted to stick with black, you could italicize the font and make their be a shiny silver backcound behind it.

Alright, it's probably not a good idea to show you a screenshot of only my first bit of progress, but tell me if you think it's going the direction you were thinking.



Keep in mind, I have a LOT of work to do, and I may change the size of everything all together.

Granted:



I'm not quite ready to release it. Soon. There are a few things I need to tweak. I still need to add some sort of "Next:" text, but I haven't decided how I'm gonna do it yet. I'll have a final by late tonight.

btw, the apple is gray normally, and turns blue on disk access.

edit: A little closer now.



I'll update the first post with the new screen and link to download once I am satisfied with everything. Also, I think I'm going to add the time in the bottom right corner. How about that?

perhaps you could find a way to seperate title artist and album on the same line exactly like in itunes? but that would be hard.
