[THEME][MIUI][WIP] FBUI - Facebookstyle

I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active

Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up

Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.

Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try

Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.

Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?

Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

Level up turned Beautiful Widgets into Ugly Widgets? Any alternatives?

Hey all,
So seeing as level up have ruined beautiful widgets, does anyone know of any good alternatives?
Most if not all of the clocks and weather themes I used are gone, and the clocks are low rez, lose time,
and the Home weather widget is gone. The weather part of the app is ugly and poorly designed now too.
So i'm trying to find some clock widgets to replace it as I am furious they took an app I loved and replaced it with
an abomination lol.
Cheers.

I actually prefer the new version of BW. Using the HTC One X theme found on the theme market
But I see that HD Widgets is pretty up there in popularity. Not a fan of it though.

Thanks I will take a look. More than anything I need one that keeps time, which this one it seems still doesn't
I am annoyed because almost all the themes left for the clocks are exactly the same, all the home weather one's I liked, unless i'm not looking properly like angry birds, are gone, and the app is now slow and laggy.
Guess it's all down to personal preference but I just wish they would offer the old version.

HD Widgets looks excellent I might have to give it a go. Although I'm reluctant to give another Dev my cash, they
are editors choice on the play market, and I guess I could backup the .apk in case it is updated in future
Cheers.

Hit the thanks button if I helped I bought BW when it was on sale so I'm not too crazed about it, idk I like the improvement of BW 5.0 doesnt feel laggy at all, especially not on the N4.

I have both HD Widgets and Beautiful Widgets. There are a lot more style choices in HD Widgets. HD Widgets also allows you to customize the look of the widget more than BW.

I used The 4x1 Weather widget in Beautiful widgets with the SimpleSolid skin. But when the 5.0 update came, it made the icons in the widget bigger and due to that they don't fit into the 4x1 space properly anymore. Parts of the images get cut off because they extend outside the widget boundaries.
I had to switch to another skin that uses much smaller icons but I really liked the SimpleSolid skin and will probably explore alternative widget options.

I have both and I prefer HD widgets because I don't have to search for widget themes as you can edit the widgets through the app and HD widgets has switches that I use a lot.

Transparent navbar all the time.

Hey. I have always wondered, why is it not possible when having transparent navbar in the apps? Just look at LG G2, its transparent in the camera and on the homescreen, so why isnt it possible? Or is it to hard to code?

Ahaa yea i have also seen it in chrome browser with paranoid, but as you say not on purpuse, more a bug.. But i think maybe the people that are more intrested in these codes and things and more experience than me should look in G2s framework and see what the can find Its transparent in the camera as you can see on pictures.

Slimbean and Odyssey have it, that's why I stick to them...I love that feature. It's my alternative to pie, trans navbar and hidden and trans sbar. I'm on Odyssey now and love it just as much as I did illusion on 4.2, illusion was also based on slim. I've attached a pic of my home screen, to give you an idea.

I had that feature once, don't remember the Rom but when I enabled it, it made it somewhat harder to navigate because very often the background is white or a very light color. Another option is to change the height of your nav bar in settings, other than that try PIE.
Fwiw, I prefer the lack of transparency on the nav bar in apps.

Okey. Yea i guess that feature is not ment to be working.
I have carbon now, but it hasnt the PIE, so i guess i have to go with the regular bar.

The reason is because most apps do not draw behind the status bar. So even if it is transparent. It will still show as black because there is nothing behind it.
That is why for those with the transparent notification it only works on the launcher, lock screen & a few apps.
On previous phones I have had some modifications include stretching apps out so that they are behind the status bar resulting in a transparent bar always working however I'm not sure I've seen any such mod for the nexus 4

Nice vids. Thanks

The home screen icon "customization" is pretty disappointing. No support for icon packs? Lame. I wonder if Smart Bulletin will be worthwhile enough to keep me from switching to Nova like I always do.

Actually if themes add support for LG Home it will, only found 1 theme which does ;}

If only they included a way to make the on screen navigation buttons smaller. Guess we'll have to rely on eXposed.

is there a way to hide the black bars at the top and bottom in chrome?

Anyway to make the black bars in chrome transparent? Too much wasted real estate! I have Nova, but I think that is just for the launcher not the browser..

No, and it sucks that the whitelist editor doesn't work anymore since the last update. We'll just have to wait until more developers start to implement the new aspect ratios on the latest phones. I'm sure someone will come up with a hack soon enough. It's tough to be patient though!
