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

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 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
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/%5BIMG%5Dh...reen/clock.pnghttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/%3Ca%20hre...n/th_clock.pnghttp://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...n/th_clock.png

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
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...HomePage-1.png
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
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...HomeScreen.png http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...eenFavApps.png http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...nStartMenu.png http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...sStartMenu.png

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%
http://s909.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=dc44ac58.pbwhttp://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...th_Battery.png

okay for the volume marks i got speaker, speaker mute, headphones
still going to need an icon for vibrate
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/th_sound.png

Alright so here is the signal bars, and signal bars with data
but signal bars with data still need animation
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...ls0-5ndata.png

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
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...tionStatus.png

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
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...Connection.png
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

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...lBarUpdate.png
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...llBarSetup.png

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

Contact - People Scroll Bar Favorites

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...pleDetails.png

alright here is a rough draft of the dialer
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a.../th_Dailer.png

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

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

sprint music player, any other suggested free music players, some more photobucket options,
more photo viewer options, manila tv, sprint tv, more youtube options, any other tv programs or
video players

Post 7: Office & Apps Page

So here is the final version of the Office Icon for the scroll bar
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...ficeCustom.png

Alright now for the office programs themselves
first row are the different programs I know are on windows phones
second row are different programs that commonly go with office programs
but don't know how often they are found on phones (so I forgot Access)
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...cePrograms.png

So here are two different previews for the Office Tab
the first one is with the Standard Office Programs on a phone
the second one is with the addition Office Programs as well

Standard Office Programs
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...ficeScreen.png

Addition Office Programs

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

Post 8: Settings Pages

Settings Scroll Bar Icon
http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...ntrol-Dock.png

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.

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...h_Settings.png http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a..._Settings1.png

http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/a...ersonalize.png

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

Allusion's Photobucket - Allusion's Cell Phone Icon & Image Collection

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

nice i must say im interested in what this may develop to!!

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

thank you i'm going to be uploading pics to my photobucket today and any files that need to be uploaded onto my mediafire account as well so I can post

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

sounds good,loving the battery and signal bars you have picked out!

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

Ok, let me throw my two cents in. I have images for a TB that Seesser and I are/were working on. You will not be able to get animation for charging, I do have a reg edit that Ovi at XDA shared with everyone in his Ovi Windroid TB. It makes the image in the charge icon slot "blink" to give it a charging animation of sorts, but only one image on and off during the charging.

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

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!! Someone, anyone!! I have an HTC Touch that I needed to turn back on. I decided to switch it to Metro Pcs. I had no problem following all the instructions on the many forums I researched. And I was even successful enough to get to the setting up process (when you dial *22.
But all the reps keep asking me for a different serial number than the one that is posted on my phone.
I tried to download CDMA Workshop, QPST and Houdini, neither of which would work because I have a MAC!!!

This is soooo frustrating... because I've been looking for these programs that would be compatible with my Mac OS system.

Can ANYBODY help???

--Hopeless Hack

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

i thank you for the item post, but i'm not looking for parts yet, i want to get a full design done before going to build stage, from what i have seen when you have stack after stacks of added changes it tends to make the phone buggy and some are not compatible with each other. plus the added effect of slower performance from so many things running at once

i was really hoping on a good charge status setup since the phone on its own default does show a animated charge with 5 different changing icons, no charge, 1 bar (25%), 2 bar (50%), 3 bar (75%), 4 bar (100% full)
so i was figuring it wouldn't be that big of a challenge but I guess I was wrong lol

thank you again for the info and the item, hope to have all you great rom & app makers help me out along the way

and jamilalw please make your own post, your thing has nothing to do with mine, i'm sorry your having trouble but your own form will get you more help than randomly posting in other peoples forms

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

updated more info and plans on design for page, but still alot more to still post and figure out as well

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

alright another addition of updates and posted stuff so let me know what you think and any support for icons, look of theme layout, or anything that can help with the predesign of this theme

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

alright so I got alot of updating done
got alot of preview pages for the phone
and settled on some icons as well for what i have done so far
so I'm ready for some more feed back and see what you guys
think so far and maybe some help on some of the icons i'm having
trouble making or gettings

now if i don't get any replys over the next week or so
I will wait to do another bump till I get a preview page for each
section and probally about 80% of all the different pages for the
phone in total

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

im really interested in this theme, it looks great and looks like something i would use on daily basic. i courage you to continue development on this theme project. i will be here on the release date.


late,
ib1

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

Theme looks great.

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

alright looks like i'm having to put this project on the side burner for alittle while
i don't have the free time I need to keep making mock images of this, keep coming up with creative designs or changes
plus there seems to be no real interest in this project besides the few people that have posted (which my number of post out number the number of post from visitors)
that and no other people providing any images or suggestions they think would help or look good
I guess I will either get back to this in time or just go on a search for different plugs and apps that will get me close to what i want. don't know yet in what i'm going to do
