[THEME] PhatPhinger IV VGA (Diamond/Allrockabilly edition)

**storyr** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2008, 11:29 PM

Introducing PhatPhinger IV VGA - HTC Diamond/Allrockabilly edition

Redesigned VGA layouts, with buttons inspired by Allrockabilly. PhatPhinger IV layouts match perfectly with Allrockabilly's Clear Gloss phoneAlarm theme (which I currently use exclusively).

Features:

Large "thumb-able" buttons for one-handed access to all features
Easy access to detailed weather forecasts, images and charts
A ton of layouts, from short to tall, "quiet" to "noisy"
Transparent - works well with any Today theme
Layouts to fit SBSH PocketBreeze w/side tabs
All layouts and screens have been built from the "ground up" for maximum accessibility, usability and readability
"Special" animation features!

Installation instructions can be found in the PhatPhinger IV VGA Readme file (found inside the zip file).

Notes:

Standard sized icons sets used with PhatPhinger IV VGA MUST have a "Huge" folder with icons sized 256x256. Icons can be found HERE.

Enjoy!

Man, every single time I remember to browse into the WeatherPanel section here, I find that you're (unsurprisingly) doing more amazing work. I was thinking a couple weeks ago that it'd be pretty cool if you and/or some of the phoneAlarm guys got a chance to put your heads together and coordinate themes, and what happens, but you're already doing it!

Seriously, fabulous work. WP + PhatPhinger has been an unwavering staple of my WM Pro usage since your first release.

Quick question for you, if it would be reasonable. UltimateLaunch has grown into a pretty crazy popular companion for WP, pA, et al, and it would be neat if we could roll custom program icons for it to match whatever the WeatherPanel and phoneAlarm icons du jour of the moment are. Is there any way you could put up a single 64x64 and/or 48x48 transparent PNG of the glossy overlay image used on most of the WP buttons? This way, we could throw that image on top of assorted program icons and website logos to roll our own UL iconsets that match the beautiful work you and Allrockability have done on these themes, and get a more consistent look across a ridiculously-capable WM today screen.

Just a thought -- thanks again for your fabulous work!

EDIT: hurrr, the file I'm looking for is easily accessible through your theme: phat_blank.png. Thanks anyway!

You woudn't happen to have a bigger screenshot, would you? Apparently, I've gotten so used to these VGA shots, that I can't see little tiny ones any more...
