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.

The theme is now attached in first post, please let me know if it's all working correctly. Enjoy.

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.)

My 7501 is less than a week old and I'm using Michi's 2.18d in 1.2 spl mode and it is awesome. Owe that guy a beer.
The reason for my post is that I come from a Tilt and Eten x800 history and the trend with HTC has been the cool, sleek, black/grey backgrounds and Home themes. What I'd like is something more colorful to really show off this awesome 5" screen. I like the layout of the Big HTC Home theme, but it would be nice to jazz it up with some color. Any ideas?
Stick a different background on there...
WK Task allows you to change a graded fade to the topbar if you use that.
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432364
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

the original case... i just painted it white and i chromed my back cover... i can post pics if u like
I have a few opinions to throw up !
1st- no offense but don't you think it's kinda useless. As WP7 only allowes you to change the colour and the arrangement of the tiles ?
Second, I'd love to share mine, but I don't have a cam. I thought of capturing it with the cam of the phone using a few mirrors, but then I'll just be capturing the camera screen
It's pretty stock, I only removed the calendar though
you can imagine it

I really dislike the icon display situation in Nougat.
It looks like crap. I like dit before when the icon picked it's own shape and what portions would be transparent.
Is there:
A) anyway to turn off the white backgrounds on icons that have clear or
B) anyway to not have the phone clipe and round the edges of icons?
This is driving me bonkers to look at. I also don't like the whitewashed notifications, but that's not quite as bad.
Try this:
Settings>Display>Icon Frames
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Don't have the Icon Framse option on my Huawei P9.
By the way..the black/white (windows 10 style) is really horrible.
These marketing boys are really stupid. Just when screens get millions of colors, they simply decide to return to the stone age B&W modus.

Don't have "Icon Frames" option on Nexus 6P either.
On my lg g pad, it works with Settings >Home Screen >Icon Shape, then set to "Original".
Joined up just to say Thank You! for this.
My Lord, what is it with the current UI love of white everywhere? Endless seas of empty space ... like being stuck in the snow. Going to need polarised sunglasses to operate my phone (and surf the web!) if this keeps up.
Anyway that's enough griping. Thanks to all for the tip here.

What Samsung Galaxy s7 edge update are you talking about? I have checked on Settings> Software Update> No update available
Thanks! It worked on my LG Q6
