Whats your idea?

Maye you can team up with the dialer one group to make your idea into a theme if you want to simply things a bit?

I'm a graphic designer, I would love to jump into this!

Theme idea

Hi,
A new challenge for our developers.
This is a theme taken from one of the pointui forum thread.
It is a really beutiful theme, somebody should make a tob bar like that on the picture. It is masterpeice in itself.
Hope somebody should consider developing it.
dont u all like this theme....
i have something similar on the way... but it will require WAD.
That is a awesome theme. I would like an update on any development. I would like to try it out a.s.a.p.
ok let it come...
But it would be great if someone make a stand alone application.

rlToday or UltimateLaunch Themes

I've been looking for some decent rlToday, and/or UltimateLaunch themes but it seems like their scarce and skattered everywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some good themes? The few that i've found searching through this forum, didn't really interest me. Im hoping someone can direct me to a some nice ones. Thanks

You will probably have to be a little more specific as to what you consider "nice" themes. Just do a simple search and start browsing through the threads/posts until you find something that you like. I even believe that there is a sticky with UltimateLauncher themes, icons, and stuff...
This is one of the better looking themes i've seen..

I would love to have that theme, but I dont think he's put out anything on it.
As far as a general idea of what kind of themes I may be interested in.. Windows Vista Style themes more specificaly but Im open to other great themes such as the one above.

[PROJ] UI Guidelines / Libraries for all Devs and Apps

Hi everyone,
I´ve got a question, it won´t get out of mind:
What about UI guidelines for ALL developers and applications ? What about a collection of graphics and tutorials so every app gets a proper interface?
Apple does this with OS X and iPhone, and as far as I know it works. So why don´t start something like this with WindowsMobile ?
I´m dreaming of some kind of Xda-Devs library which is a wiki as well as a resource for graphics and animation frameworks. If we put our talents and efforts together I think this is doable !
It's a nice idea, but why? You say Apple does this, but it's why we have WinMo ! Everything is different, don't want everything looking the same!

*lol* You got that wrong, I don´t want to look everything the same. But we could increase the popularity and usability of WM immense if we could provide some kind of library.
I´m not talking about apps which are skinable. I´m talking about replacing the standard WinForms, so it looks nicer and is more fingerfriendly.
And when you say the different styles make WM unique - you wanna tell me missing usability is an argument to buy an WM phone ?!?

Actually EVERYONE does this. Gnome, KDE, Apple, Microsoft all spend lots of time and money on the research of UI Guidelines. Its brings the whole community so much close and leads to a fluint interface experience. Apple and the latest versions of KDE being a case in point. If we as a community lay down some guidlines on what works best where with Touch, Stylus and keyboard navigation we will already be one step closer to more usable devices. Being a programmer by trade I spend hours making sure that my UI is as close to what ppl are use to ATM ie: The Office 2007 UI. So many ppl are upgrading to this new look and feel. So my application needs to follow suit since it gets used withing corporate environments
Thats just my 2c. Hope its well spent

I was under the assumption that the desired direction, judging by all of the most popular apps on this site, was to have apps that were fully skinable and completely finger friendly (at least where it makes sense).
Personally, i think if we follow the style like iphone of designing their apps, it would be quite boring, this forum apps would not be special anymore. However, i think there would be advantages too.
Precisely hazeline, we should figure out what works for us and work from there. When you look at apps like Manilla 2D and TouchFlo 3D even though they are great they are lacking some basic fluincy.
Im gonna have a look over then next week and see if I can knock together something for facebook for our WinMo devices. It seems like this would a good start for me to see what I would like changed in a basic UI
removed. doh bleh
please remove.

absolutely agree. When I first saw the facebook shots I thought "wow, we need those gfx for other apps". So, any (Xperia) users in here, what about extracting those gfx for us ?

I noticed Microsoft released some sort of guide for developers a few days ago, you can find it here: http://www.codeplex.com/AppArch/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19798
I also tried to copy the Facebook-Panel style, don´t criticise me, I just did this in a couple of minutes, if I put some efforts in this it would look definetely better
Although this thread isn´t that crowded I still hope this becomes a big community project, it IS possible, there are some many talented people in here !
regards,
Martin

Believe me, it's NOT that bad..
and I like the idea too...
We could implement some sort of XDA-Oficial Theme...
And this way we would have at least some common ground from were to start..
I also develop for the device, and too often, my major worry/problem is how to go for a Nice graphical interface...
It would also be goo to have some sort of listing of Graphic experienced users, willing to help developers...
thx but as I said, I really could do a complete set of such graphics...problem is I´m busy with school and as you may know with the TL theme as well.
My intention is to really get all devs and designers in here and discuss how to create a basis which every developer can build upon.
I don´t know the differences between C++ and C# apps but maybe someone tells me how difficult it is to develop a framework for animations which everyone can use.
The outcome should be what script.aculo.us is for web-developers.
Graphics should be created according to a certain pattern, so we should create a list of button-types which every designer can refer to.
regards,
Martin

like the themes thread says. its an AOSPish theme. basically means its theme that closely resembles the look of STOCK android. our vibrants use touchwiz ui which is a skin on top of android which changes the look and adds features.
Can I download just the theme from somewhere?

New theme/UI design

Hi,
for my Major Project I have designed/redesigned the User Interface for Android. It`s not the entire UI just a proposal with common elements.
If anyone is interested in designing a new theme for Android, have a look at the on-line presentation and the entire booklet at
http://softouch.igloo.si
very cool ! i like it
will it be released one day? very interested in
I dont have the programming knowledge to develop it, unfortunately.
cool stuff
Hey congrats! it looks very smart and the idea is very cool
404 Page Not Found
The page you requested was not found.
just tested it, works fine http://softouch.igloo.si/
woow!
It looks very nice!
nice idea and looking great
Hey !
It looks great & i want it absolutely !
Do you develop it???
sorry, no. don't have the necessary knowledge. But if somebody is willing to develop, I am happy to contribute additional design elements if needed.
I saw this thread ages ago and after much searching discovered it again. Have you had any more movement toward making it a reality?
Hi, as mentioned I do not do programming so I can`t create a theme. No dev has approached me either. Until then, this remains a concept
Wow.
Looks very nice. Good design job
Great design concept, it looks really nice.. well done!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
i dont have a rooted phone, but that looks like a very cool UI, hope it wrks out for you Bro
gud one..will follow this!! )
Jus give us the updates of ur work, man!!
Thanks, It looks very nice to me.
seriously this should be made into a REAL launcher or something...
thanks to all of you for thumbs up. Again, if anyone is considering making it into a launcher or theme, please contact me.
Hey, why dont you pm 'robocik' or 'coolexe'.. they come up with new roms all the time.. I really want to see this concept become reality..
