9000 OTA: Aluminum Today+

**cherrichiodo** · #1 11-02-2008 -

This is my first bold theme, and since I don't have one to test on, ya'll have to be my testers

If you see any issues, please report them in this thread.

I have left a few of the elements to default, bc everything I already have made has to be resized anyway for the bold.

This is another true "today plus" where sneak peak items will not appear until you have scrolled over the respective icon.

thats ok...i don't mind paying for cool themes but i'm hoping i'm only a couple of weeks away from a storm so pearl is getting no pay bling

i can relate. if the bold was released a few months ago, i might have one. but now, i plan on waiting for the javelin

hey CC, i always have troubles finding fonts that work well.... what kinds of fonts work well? The ones I have from windows usually look jagged and like crap... heeelllllp

**cherrichiodo** · #9 11-03-2008 -

be sure to choose the slanted A beside the font selection to add 'smoothing'

and to be truthful, i've been using the CDK since mar 07 and true type fonts are hit/miss when it comes to looking good on the CDK AND the simulator, but once loaded, looks nothing like ...

i use www.1001freefonts.com for font upload, other than what was already installed here on my pc.

this theme is really cool. love it. one thing though, unlike for the calender and the sms folders on the main screen, the email doesnt list any of the email is the folder on the screen... that makes sense right? anyway that could be incorporated?

msedaros · #12 11-03-2008 -

just another thing, if you change the home screen image, if you reset it, so it goes back to the original, the image in the menu does not reset.

Theme looks pretty solid C2... couple of things I noticed -
-- the star that notifies of new SMS or email... it's pretty big
-- the main page on sms exchanges with an individual has no hard breaks b/w msgs (i.e., if u and i are txting over 3 days, there is no line 2 separate today from yesterday)

Looks really nice on the Bold though...

for email and sms, it will only show what is new (i can only assume it does that for call log too, i always hide that icon)

does it reset after a battery pull? the home screen and the application screen can be two different images and is set that way. or maybe switch to another theme, then switch back? not sure why that would happen, but i don't think there is anything i can do on my end. i'll play around and see.

scott, i fixed the star and the ota has been updated. its smaller now

also not sure about the breaks in sms window. there isn't a setting on the CDK to alter this at all. is there a setting on your bold? maybe its a font issue? can you snap a screenshot for me and post it here? i would really appreciate it
