Hey guys im in the middle of choosing colour for the X1 any suggestions to which colour i should use??
btw how do u create a vote? THX!!
Also One of my friends have the black version, however he really wants the silver one(so do i) lol, any suggestions to what he should do ?? THX!!!
its really all about preference. Before the x1 came out, I had my mind set on getting it in black because I thought it was way better looking than the silver. Then I finally saw the silver in the store and didnt know what I was thinking when I wanted a black one. So i ended up getting silver
You mean like this one?

Black black black. Sexier than the silver.
I have to say the black one looks better although I have the sliver one... again, due to my network O2 only does Silver, no point of switching networks over colours, The keyboard is silver on both colours, so it does make more sense on the silver handset. I dunno, it;s a hard choice, mayeb I am lucky in a way that I didn't have a choice!!
I much prefer the silver version, the metal look is more visible with the silver colour and it blends in nicely with the keyboard bit

Sorry guys, didnt relise there was already a post on the topic SORRY!!!
Hey guys, just to let you know about the second of my themes for the Xperia called "Clarity".
As with my previous, and any more I will create it is for the purpose of allowing maximal viewing of the walpaper of your choice while at hte same time giving you access to all the most important information you need. Also, with my themes, all will be created so that the taskbar can be on or off and not affect the theme.
They may also be used on other devices since the major resolution defining part is the wallpaper and I am not releasing these with specific wallpapers.
NOTE: The only planned additions *may* be to add a slide out dock with WiFi/BT connectivity. I try to keep these as light as possible for aesthetic and performance purposes.
Comments, criticism, suggestions welcome, enjoy some shots:
UPDATE: I have created the landscape version. Finally managed to get the file attached this morning, enjoy.
Note, in anticipation that most of you are in fact right handed, unlike myself, I have moved the "dock" with the indicators to the right side of the screen in landscape mode, so that when holding the phone one handed you can press them with your thumb. I did not place the dock (in landscape mode) to allow for the taskbar on (would take up too much space) this will be the only exception, and you can move the parts yourself if you need taskbar on.[/color]
NOTE: Like my other theme, the message links may not take you exactly where you want, but they can be edited to take you directly to SMS and to a specific email inbox. Because I don't know what you name your inbox, I can not do that for you.
Enjoy.
Looks awesome dude, wd. Soz but yeah I'm not really in to themes, although I wish I could get the taskbar to be black but also with that shiny texture you know, something to do with base hue. All themes with a black taskbar looks like too gray. but ah well.
Like the work youre doing!
Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, I agree, theming isn't for everyone, but as a person used to phones with flashy UIs and more so a person that will do anything he can to that UI to make sure his wallpaper can be seen as much as possible (the entire first page on my iphone is blank apart from the wallpaper, and the lockscreen has nothing but the clock and the taskbar (which is invisible) icons.), I try to bring the perfect mix of function and aesthetics.
I know what you mean about the titlebar, Surely there is a way to edit one of the existing themes? I know you can make your own themes (although when I tried it, it refused to display on my Xperia) with the nice gradiented titlebar in black.

I see what you mean, i just set my experia to the Silver Theme and it is the glossy gray (silver) one. I wonder why the black Xperia theme doesn't have this "glossy" bar but instead a flat black one. The silver theme is yuck though, (especially on my Black X1), although saying that, I'm making themes for WAD so I obviously don't like either of them much.

Well Silver Theme is yuck? In fact you can't do too much inside of WM themes, and his one has just a perfect readability.
Yeh

P.S. it may or may not be obvious, I only just realised, but the "indication" of calls/messages/sms as shown by the relevent icon "lighting" white. No calls/email/sms will leave it see through. Each item when clicked will link you to the relevent place, of course.

Well ok, that kind of enthusiasm from just one person is enough to warrant the effort.
I'm off out now, give me until about 1am GMT and I should have a release all being well and I get back to my hotel in one piece, and the internet is still working.
The wallpapers (except the girl) are all included with the Xperia by default (you may need to set them to stretched to display right) so I will include the picture of "Pepper", although all credit must go to her creator over at Deviant Art for the wallpaper itself. (Look for Pepper Love).

Ok, I was just surprised that you wrote Silver Theme is yuck. Of course it's correct english
Actually I talk about the whole theme not standby only.
So I thought X1 Silver Theme is perfectly readible - especially in menus and apps - it has a black coursor bar or however you call it, in reverse to most other ones where it's grey or green etc. I hope I'm clear...
Looks intriguing, will surely give it a try when it is released!
I see.

Oh I see what you mean, I never really thought about the theme outside of the Today screen. Probably because the bold white text on the black taskbar of the black theme seems to give a perfect contrast and readability. I tried the Silver theme briefly and it's gray taskbar wasnt too nice and the brush steel type wallpaper I don't like, but then I don't particularly like the Black one either with its colours.
Anyway, I just got back to my hotel so I'm going to see if I can get quickly chuck together a landscape bit for this and release the .wadesktop files here asap.
Attached

First of all you need to have Wisbar Advance Desktop 2.
According to the Wisbar website they are like executable cabs but they work via the Wisbar program. It says all you need to do is copy the .wadesktop file to your device and run it (double click) it should extract it all correctly.
Then just go into change theme and apply it. (By hold-clicking the background while in WAD2.)
Hello everyone....Galaxy S4 is now almost available everywhere and most of you have must have pre-odered and received your new S4 by now!

Definitely it is more professional and classy! And S4 with the silver metallic (looking plastic) lining all around the sides looks more beautiful in black and vice versa.
I went with Black Mist. I had the option for Blue or White. After looking at the Blue and seeing how ugly it was I decided to just keep going with my Black phones. My wife likes having white phones but I don't.
Hello guys i thought about maybe we can Discuss about themes.
Sometimes i really have to laugh because some of the themes in the store are very ugly and childish and they want to ask money for it, so did you guys found free themes that have premium looks so you can share the names here if you want.
And my favorite theme of the moment is [Weyo] black and blue.
Weyo was once my main theme.
Then I used Blue And Black Amoled.
now I am using paid theme Material Black.

Any know if we can design our own themes for the S8? HTC allow you to create your own themes online using an editor they have online! Is there anything similar for Samsung thats easy to use?
http://developer.samsung.com/theme
I don't understand paid service: do I have to pay to be able to design my own theme, or do I get paid when somebody else likes my theme and wants to buy it?
Also, do you know of any software to design theme on the computer? Phone is the last thing I would want to do any work on.
Well, I just signed up for it. Basically it asked for two links (I gave them one of my portfolio and one of my resume), your name, business (if it applies), and "Why do you want to develop themes for Samsung" (lol...). They said they will send an email soon letting me know the answer.
Cool, keep us posting plse.
Here is a post I made about designing themes to give people ideas
Samsung Themes is a global service available in
185 countries around the world. If you wish to share
your design with the world, become a theme designer!
This is an open invitation to all developers and digital designers to not only add a big name branded digital product theme to your portfolio to build more credibility and rep fast and effectively.
nut can also help with establishin
first download the Samsung theme Editor.
Samsung Theme Designer 2.0.4 is an authoring tool for designers and developers to create theme content for Samsung mobile phones.
Main Features of Theme Editor
you can read about the main features of the theme editor here:
To build a theme you will need to Follow these instructions this should help you layout a good theme that looks good that you can add as a solid reputable digital product to your portfolio.
1. choosing a backround
choosing a back round is the focal point if you will of the entire theme you should choose an image that isn't to busy so when you add smaller characteristics such as buttons and other elements they are easy to identify.
Choosing a background should be with an image that pops or makes a statement. here are a few guide-lines when choosing a background what to look for.
scenery backgrounds should have solid contrast you will want to use the primary color or its opposite for the buttons and other touch elements
dark or black backgrounds - you will want to off set dark backgrounds with bright colors or white touch elements.
white back rounds you will want to use dark or bright colored touch elements.
2. touch elements
Touch elements are the features that a user will need to easily identify to operate the device. You want to use flat elements with darker backgrounds and/or colorful backgrounds.
when useing lighter backgrounds or white backgrounds you will only want to use flat icons or touch elements if the are dark or grey.
3. Themeing
When themeing you want to layout a specific background to do so start by writing down a category of interest.
lets say you picked beach themes you have beach themes in many assortments from bright with lots of sunlight, many colors and multiple contrast(sunsets), darker night beach time themes. you also need to consider what is going to be more dominant the beach, the ocean or the sky.
lest say you have a beach theme in mid day with lots of ocean waves. the main colors are going to be the darkest colors which would be a variant of blue.
To make this look good you want touch elements that are opposite of the contrast such as white, light grey, or black, you could use blue or dark blue but would only be drowning the theme in blue.
You will then need to find sets of elements shapes and styles either rounded , circular or square to fit you theme.
depending on the contour of the background is how you should determine the style of buttons.
It is pretty much that simple start with a background and build it up with features.
