Allusion's Windows Ultimate Black & Blue Theme - Help With Build & Design Please

[allusion]

Alright so I go threw thread after thread after thread seeing alot of cool themes, cooked roms, apps, exc
and I like alot of them but for some reason I can't find one that has everything I want in it or is also not compatible with my phone.
So I figured hell why not design one myself and get help in making the different parts till it looks like a finished product and is ready for someone to build it.
Now I by no means take any credit on any of the designs, icons, layouts, exc. cause I know alot of it comes from other peoples designs (which alot of it looks shared already), free downloads, and alot of similar shared layouts.
But I will have also put my own changes to alot of the work as well.

now the layout of the first 9 post will change over time, and preview images will change as they update
but I will try to keep it the same as much as possible, but it will show as follows:

Post 2: Today-Home Screen & Scroll Bar






Post 3: Phone - Call History, Dialer, People - Contacts Pages








Post 4: Communication - Twitter, Facebook, Text Messaging, EMail, Instant Messaging, Exc


Post 5: Entertainment - Music, Video, Pics, TV, Internet

Post 6: Navigation, Weather, Calendar, Anything New

Post 7: Office & Apps Page


Post 8: Settings Pages




Post 9: Will be a collection of the different icons used threw out the pages

now it will take me a little time for me to get everything uploaded and displayed so bare with me please

I only wish I had the skill needed to do this own my own and make it look as great as some of the people here that make these themes, apps, roms, exc.

also in each section I will be posting general descriptions in what I'm trying to get out of the section in hopes that if i can't make it or make it look good, someone else can lol

Post 2: Today-Home Screen & Scroll Bar

Alright so I'm going to post my first mock page for the Home Screen and I will be kinda rough looking.
Now in addition to the Mock screen I will also be posting some images of icons, clocks, exc that I want to use for this. The Clock I will be posting will be the bases of the theme and the color palette for it as well. and a few icons I plan on using but might need animating or final draft touch ups.

Black & Blue Swirl Clock - (Bases of Theme and Color Palette)
background image changeable but main color palette for theme
will be black and blue with white text, alot of stuff semi-seethru
with a modern style look with rare semi-traditional pieces that are update
to a modern look for offsets (example the clock below lol)
text I have not figured out yet but was hoping to keep this compatible
with KD-Font by Kliptik so people could place any font they want into place


Home Screen Mock Images - Basic Layout For Now
want to replace the start button on the top left with Apps button
have a lock button inbetween the two lock images
maybe change the sprint text to white
clock layout will need to made to match to theme
but info will stay in placed areas and blank area will be for
weather animation, and home page will still have either the
weather wallpaper option or the animated wallpaper
the windows logo will work as a normal start button like in windows xp
Equip with: Programs
Settings
Internet Favorites
Task Manager List
and Open to other Suggestions

So here is a better more complete home screen
looking more like what i want but still got a long
ways ago
Also the start menu setup and use that I like is from
QuickMenu which can be found here Alen-SoftWare - which is
from China but I found it on the xda site here
QuickMenu 2.8 from China!!!Best start-menu and task-switcher[UPDATE 02-03-2009] - xda-developers
but I have altered it alittle but not sure if my alterations are already available in
the program itself


So here is the battery I want to use. Still needs animation for charging.
All I have so far is just the 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%


okay for the volume marks i got speaker, speaker mute, headphones
still going to need an icon for vibrate


Alright so here is the signal bars, and signal bars with data
but signal bars with data still need animation


alright so the next section over is for connection status and type
i have posted wireless network found, wireless network connected,
connection is active, active sync
I still need icons for 1X, Ev, connection is not active, phone no service,
phone searching for service, phone turned off (airplane mode), voice call
in progress


last section for the right side is the notification area
so far all i have for that is the usb item
i still need alarm, bluetooth headset connection, bluetooth on,
bluetooth visible mode on, missed call, multi notifications,
new instant message, new text message, roaming, speakerphone on

Alright now for the SCROLL BAR
as of right now the scroll bar with have 13 items on it
which is the same as the default but in a different line up
as it stands now the 13 tabs are going to be:
1st Today - Home (still needs to be recolored to match theme)
2nd Contacts - People (just the plate needs to be recolored to match theme)
3rd Text Messaging (just needs to be darken more to match to theme)
4th Calendar (needs more work on coloring to match to theme)
5th Social Networks (maybe a different icon, dark tone to match to theme, maybe changed alittle)
6th E-Mail (need icon all together)
7th Internet (perfect, doesn't need to be changed any further)
8th Multimedia (need icon all together)
9th Navigation (need icon all together)
10th Weather (icon changes to match to weather)
11th Office (maybe a little more color work, either darker or add the missing blue to it)
12th Apps (need icon all together)
13th Settings (maybe a little altering, darker)

and then each of them may have there own sub pages as well
but this may very from time to time
i'm right now playing and exploring with different icons and sub
pages to see what i like




now i still got alot more to post in here but I need to go threw and make less images to post so I can get them all here, so in a little while I will have this redone with more images

Post 3: Phone - Call History, Dialer, Contacts Pages

So here is a few of the icons I have settled on so far
Contacts - People Scroll Bar Icon, Call History Icon On Start Page, Default People - Contacts, 2nd Default People - Contacts, All People - Contacts, 2 Incoming Call Icons, 2 Out going Call Icons, 2 Missed Call Icons, Search - Magnifier, Add People - Contacts, Events N Updates People - Contacts, Info People - Contacts, Favorite People - Contacts, Group People - Contacts, History for People - Contacts


So now that we got a decent selection of icons now a preview of the
Contact - People Scroll Bar Favorites


and then once you hit all people
the scroll bar for all users and its different pages



still got to go threw and do the sub pages for the next set of sub pages
so here is a starter on one of the sub pages


alright here is a rough draft of the dialer


Still need to recolor the different default Icon options for different guys and girls hair styles, on the main favorites page there is messaging, call (may want separate call cell and call home) but does the favorites page support email shortcuts or any others, possible support for picture behind the circle label, Icon to Dial, Edit, still need to redo the dialer as well, and not sure what else i'm missing beyond what I have posted so far

Alright now for the office programs themselves

but don't know how often they are found on phones (so I forgot Access)


So here are two different previews for the Office Tab

Post 8: Settings Pages

Settings Scroll Bar Icon


Okay so here is a preview of the Setting Page so far.
This will be the main screen for the settings but I still need to
go in and make the sub pages for each item.





Now I have about 3 pages of short hand notes on the settings for how the subpages
are going to be lay out and what is going to be on them.
So its going to take me a little bit to do this. So as I get each tab done I will post its
subpages so that they can been seen.

alright so here is the 3 pages of notes

Post 9: Will be a collection of the different icons used threw out the pages



Alright so I'm not going to be able to post every single icon or pic i find here but I will leave the link to where i'm storing the collection of them. and the ones that I plan on using I will post here and give credit to the owners once i refind where i found them lol. now if i post something and you already know where they are from please tell me so I can give proper credit
