Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

Ok, I reworked this 2 more times, until I felt it was like what you wanted. Hope you like it. I tested it first this time.

Make sure you uninstall any previous clocks and restart before installing. ;-)

Thanks, it turned out great! exactly how i wanted it. Did the zip file help?

Note: The black dots at the top of the flip backgrounds don't appear on the phone, for some reason there only visible in screenshots, probably a result of compression.

Thanks again! In the future can i request other graphic mods if i provide an example like i did in this one? I appreciate the clock mod, again Thanks!

Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

The zip file helped a little. The hardest part was scaling each number individually, so they would fit properly on the tabs. Then I applied a Brushed metal effect to the tabs, gave them a tiny 3d black outline, and darkened up a little.

It's always easiest when someone can provide some sort of an example. Then I have a better idea of what they want. Which saves me a lot of time, from doing it several tries for each request. So yes, your examples were very helpful and saved me some extra unneeded effort. I'm glad you like it. :wink:

Feel free to hit me up any time. I can't promise I'll always be able to get right to it, although I do try.

evry good

Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

santod am i right that each font needs different scalings ? i am also modding for myself a little till i am ok with my work for go public. there is no specific measure in creating the number png right ?

Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

I was able to get the numbers to work without different sizes, it not only looks better but its more uniform that way

best way to do it is to use the original numbers in manila as a template and use photoshop to do your numbers over the originals as a new layer so you can size and space them better, this is how my version of the digital font turned out, with help from Santod i was able to eventually get it going on my own, i just need to figure out how to cab files :)
also, be sure they'll also fit inside the flip clock or they'll go off the edge or over lap one another, use font's that will look best and try to avoid the "fat" fonts. Just my opinion, Santod may have more advice on this since he's more familiar than I am/

Note how the clock on the red mod has to be small numbers since there wider, same goes for the blue one

Sorry, for some reason the scaler on the thread editor didn't save the shrunk size, sorry for the large screens

Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

yeah thats the way i did it, i thought there is maybe a rule, but it works ok till now. u must realy test the different fonts.

Re: Custom Manila 2.5 flipclock request?
 

I see you are using photobucket. I have not used that in quite some time but they probably have a resize option. If not, use tinypic. I resize all of my screenshots to 240x400 and it really helps the flow of your post. Also you can do 4 screenshots on one line this way.

Good work on the clocks btw.
