Iron Man v0.7 for RLtoday (UPDATED 5/12)

warlock · #1 (**permalink**) 05-02-2008, 02:08 AM

Completly redid the original theme. No more simplicity (it's pretty, but mortbuttons annoyed me somewhat). I used the TransSkin (http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=13079) RLToday skin as a base, and modified it from there (going to modify it even more to suit my needs, and hopefully yours as well). Changed Icons (should be self explanatory (top is phone, then text, then mms, then email)

The upper left hand corner has the "chest light", I want to make it DO something, but so far I haven't a clue. I packed the background seperatly because I forgot, and I'm a newb.

Let me know what you guys think. Any criticism is awesome. If you want something added, let me know, I'm bored enough to try it. (same goes for taking stuff out).

My current plans for it are make the "chest light" do something (upper right hand corner), and maybe even the chest light on the background do something as well. Also going to develop a second version of it changing the icons on the right a little. For us mogul users mostly, since we dont get seperate MMS, we dont need that button. Might change it to weather. But if you have any ideas, share.

Let me know!

5/12: Added the batt bar (PWR) on the right side, as well as the "radar" on the left side.

Right now I just have the upper left button opening S2U2. heh.
I've had to edit a TON of sys-to-reg settings by hand to get this functioning properly, that should teach me to blow off the installation next time. I plan to cab up the reg edits so if you want to use this skin, you can use it, and if you dont want to use it anymore, you can use the cab to put the s2r settings back. I'm still not done with this, as you can see i need to lower the right hand "radar" too.

I did not update the ZIP file yet, so if you DL it dont yell at me for not having it done. This skin will have a readme on what to change in s2r if you want to do it manually (beta testers or whatever)

Just an update, I've mostly abandoned this version (though if you want something specific to be done with this let me know and I'll do it real quick), I'm working on the "office" theme from the movie for my PC first. I'll work on a port to PPC afterwords.

Thanks for the Backround! I found it easy to just to click on the attachment from my HTC touch's browser, open it, and save the image as my today screen backround....Iron man Rocks!

Indeed. There are some other technical spec-ish backgrounds on the "insidethesuit.com" website. I might incorporate more of those into backgrounds just for fun. Currently I'm working on making a HUD style theme (still drawing it out on paper) though I'm not sure what program I'll use to run it. Thinking RLtoday might do it, that's my only "lead" so far. I may have to use flash or something.

I thought about WAD/WA but they eat too much memory on my measly 6800.

Updated! Changed the whole thing pretty much. Let me know what you think.

So when are you going to get this theme up and running....I love the idea.

It's mostly working right now, just a few items to add (currently trying to add sys2reg to run some gauges in it, but I'm totally lost in that right now. I'm also planning on adding a weather button somewhere, and turning the upper-right "icon" into a launcher of some sort (so much to do, so little time!)

Also plan to remove the MMS button and replace with VMail instead. Probably going to make new icons that are more "HUD"ish if/when i get the gauges going.

Updated

Also, I have the version you see in the screenshot running on my phone, mostly. I'm still having some trouble with the sys-to-reg. It will drop the signal pie and the main pie, somehow during resets the signal pie came back, but not the main storage. If anyone wants me to release exactly what i have now and maybe tweak it to get it to work, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll continue working on it and hopefully have a new version out later tonight. (will be .

.

.9 will have a launcher and weather app (i hope), and i might incorporate vjtodaytoggleii in it to make it more fullscreen (not sure yet though).
