Im looking for good images, icons, colors anything yall think represents steampunk well. Im looking for this stuff to help me speed along a SteamPunk theme i am imagining.
Ideas/suggestions for it are also welcome.
Let me be clear im not requesting a SteamPunk theme i am merely requesting community input to help give me ideas for the theme.
Not very many icons here, but I had to hunt them down when I saw your topic because they look very cool, and are very detailed.
http://dlanham.com/ui/steampunk/
Should give you some inspiration.
Here is an icon set i found
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&ei=BjyfTZiYBom60QGbzLydBQ
Along with a couple images
Hope that helps......
Thanks to the both of you for those icons, im going to try my hand at creating everything from scratch but these will definitely help to point me in the right direction.
Any suggestions for the way i should make notification bar look? oxidized bronze type look?
concepts and ideas are all im looking for really, tho icons and pictures help
thank you to everyone in advance.
have you seen the starwars steampunk images they look nice. i will see if i can find the link to it.
heres the link http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/category/steampunk/

I would go with the ozidized bronze color and the notification icons with look sweet in a faded cooper color

you read my mind, i was initially thinking of how a wifi antenna would looked in the 1800s but then i realized i dont have that imagination so i'm mocking up some concepts of the notification icons textured and bronze/copper riveted together, with bioshock style lights underneath
this is really gonna test my ability to use photoshop.
If this gets made and will work on Bi-Winning, you can count on donation from me. Oxidised bronze sure sure. Maybe a pressure gauge battery. Analog looking clock, etc. Depending on skill in photoshop.

i dont have infinite time on my hands so it will take a bit of time on my end, im realistically aiming for a release date some time in late april if not mid may
i do have a mockup of my pulldown bar icons done i want to get them on photoshop before i start showing yall my work. im not great at drawing with out grid paper.
Understood. This is a hobby for devs and themers alike. I'm just saying this is such a great idea that I look forward to the progress, no matter how long it takes.
How about with the bronze notification bar being bronze/copper, having the Notification pull down menu be like a steel colored wired mesh with a bronze frame and rivets. Rustier and dirtier the better lol. But really whatever will play nice with text on top. Great idea by the way.
I dont know how extensive iPhone themes are, but heres a pretty impressive looking one, you could crack it open and take a look at the images for some ideas. (EDIT: Ok so theres no link to download the actual theme, either way there are a few design elements you can glean from the screenshot.)
http://kormyen.deviantart.com/art/S...oost:popular in:customization steampunk&qo=40
..and heres a set of widgets I found that would go GREAT with this theme, they come in different styles but the stock theme is very steampunk/bioshock-ish, check out the screenshots. Heres the market link:

Something along these lines would look pretty B.A.
Well I did it again, More Dialers and more Honeycomb. This will probably be my last dialer theme for a while. I will eventually look into recoding the layout for hi-res landscape, I'll bet ya, Dell just copied the one from 160 density, and never tested it.
Anyways here it is, I actually started on 160, but had to build on 240. All dialpad keys are visible at 240dpi in portrait mode. In high res, landscape dialpads will be cut off as usual. Best I could do for now. You'll just have to rotate to portrait I guess.
You can change the backgrounds of course by following my Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215898
the screenshots in this first post will be at 160dpi, the 240dpi will be in the 2nd post.

for future use, thanks!
update:HCPhoneThemev2 (without glow): icons updates, jog tabs now HC Style, and in call buttons now stock instead of transparent( just mute, bluetooth , and speaker).
update: Aug. 16 - HC Theme with Glow uploaded. Its slightly involved to add glow, and since I resized buttons to fit all densities, you'll noticed the pressed square effect, that's about the best I can do. Glow Color is actually much brighter, but the dark background darkens it. All icons updated in Glow and Regular version. Also added stylish highlight for tab selections.
I have tried to change the layout at hdpi to fit in the landscape dialer, I dont think this can be done via .XML, although it sure looks like it. the .xml calls out the Button Grid Layout as well as height and widths, I have tried changing them all, even ones I knew were not correct. Best I did was change the total layout allowed for buttons, but buttons size would not change. I saw in the .smali code where it calls to get height and get width, so I would think .xml controls it. Even I change the .png sizes it would still center them in the same spot in the layout I think.
Oh well, portrait is more than fine with me. I usually use my phone in portrait and try not to rotate it because Im on 220 lcd density right now.
Looks great @ 180 density.
Thanks!

working on it, noticed a lot of icons still needed top be updated as well, should have some screenshots later today.
OP updated, Glow Version ann also updated many icons for both version.
this was good to help me learn how to create glow effect, I may be able to do another one with a very thin effect, like an out line, but I like the larger effect my self. It doesnt matter a whole lot to me, I was satisified with original version.
Waiting to hear your feedback.
would like to see this on a lighter background if anyone has one.

Good job Chris but the bottom three buttons don't glow or is it the background?

Im aware of this. I'm not sure If I could do those the same way. I'll see what I can do.
wow, managed to cook em up pretty quick, but they wont work because they are .9.png's they stretch and distort, so I could just try a blur but likely wont look good. I'll check it out.

The blury .9 png's can still be fantastic! Reminiscent of a lightsaber. Maybe Star Wars themed over HC could be cool
ok, I'll check it out later
I can get back, call and voicemail to glow as well as voicecall in landscape. I could make the glow effect smaller so you dont see the edge of the button and looks cut off... would probably be better, this is a really bright blue, but doesnt look as bright with dark wallpaper. I dont think I could make the glow effect on the numbers so small that it doesnt get cut off, because the numbers and letters take up so much room it would have to be a 1 or 2 pixel glow and that would still probably get cut off, unless I did similar to the bottom buttons and just use a generic gradient bubble background, but that doesnt look as nice.
Ill keep playing around with it when I have time, based on everyones feedback.
Seeing as how, CRT animation and gingerbread Overscroll looks a bit too involved for me. Quite possible for someone like DJ or Fards.
edit: idea: how about changing the bottom 3, .9.pngs to not touch the button edge, and have a transparent horizontal oval in the center, so it doesnt overshadow the icon. And.. I could try to edit the dialpad keys to "round" out the glow so again it doesnt look so boxy. I'll give it a shot when I have some time.
progess made.. sort of
heres what I got, changed quite a few things,
lets hear what you think, I will look into making the glow.png oval instead of square, maybe that will help.
and the .9 button glows area gamble, some will look nice, others too large, etc.
change jog tabs to HC style. also change in call buttons such as speaker back to stock, just those 3.
next release will likely be last for this project. probably because I use phone so little and would like to focus on other things.
Hello!
This is my lockscreen right now: http://i.imgur.com/MkvfR.png
As you may see, the clock and the date under the clock is pretty hard to see. Therefore I want to make the text bold, so I can see it better. Does anyone know how I can do this? If I can't make it bold, I would like to change color of it if possible.
Thanks in advance!

rather than that a simple Dark background picture will do the trick, since the present one is too white for the text's to be highlited

at least u can use a photo editor software to reduce the background whiteness so that u can retain the girl's photo as well as ur issue also resolves

If I would do that, would I be able to reduce the background whiteness so much that I can see the clock and the picture is still OK?
If so, could you recommend me a photo editor that has the ability to reduce the background whiteness?

Apparently, there is no fix to this issue. GS2 displays white-colored text on lockscreen. You've set a white wallpaper which matches with color of text. Result- no text. white + white + white. Use a background with dark or at least non-white colors.
Hi
I am curious on how a theme is built using Themer, correct me if I am wrong. In a very basic way, here is the way a theme is put together
1 - create wallpapers in Photoshop, at the right size and res, with all the info, icons shapes, you name it. This create a static image.
2 - Using Zooper Pro one places hot spots where we want something to happen,: open mail, show weather, numbers of miss calls, etc......
Is that OK , did I missed something?

Hi, that is more or less correct.
Many new themes use a standard wallpaper so that users will have the option to change it without affecting the theme's appearance (such as text won't disappear).
Any one of Themer's built-in widgets can be used, not just Zooper, but you're correct in saying that hotspots are assigned to specific actions.
Lastly, icons can always be added if the designer wishes
Anything else you'd like to know?

Doesn't really matter, it's all completely up to you. We do recommend using a high-res wallpaper though if other users wanted to apply the theme, and they're using a 1080p resolution device.
Started a new thread with more colour options, the op was getting too crowded
So I'm sharing a theme I made for anyone else that wants a lightweight theme.
Main changes from stock:
-iOS inspired dialer.
-Dark switches, system settings & quick settings icons.
-Changed brightness & volume sliders.
-Google sans font
-Darker text in some areas & and some system dialogue box backgrounds.
Only tested on my Mate 20 Pro, but will try to fix any errors if any are found.
Just remove ".zip" to use the theme
Thanks to @maurydes for allowing me to use some elements from his blue gradient theme, can be found here:
https://themesmanager.app/links/aGJU
*Launcher Icons made with Iconpackstudio:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.iconpackstudio
(if anyone wants to use them, can also update to include any missing icons)
Mega link for the icon pack: https://is.gd/s672uw
11 Feb 20
*Added green (grn), orange (org) & red accent colours, plus Gboard gradient backgrounds.
If anyone want to use a different dialer colour you can unzip the theme and swap com.android.contacts.
***Known bug, the subject text on Gmail notification is dark grey, this only happens when the qs & notification are black, still trying to fix this***
Great work all around, just some tips... Make the names in contacts a little bit highlighted. Also u should change the background color of sharesheet as attached

When you share post on Instagram, that's when the share sheet comes. N yes , make that name highlighted as you have shown in your screen shot. Also another bug I found is that when an SMS comes in Google messages the mark as read and reply option is invisible and not readable

Ok, I'll take a look later this evening but I don't use Instagram or Google messages so might need you to test. Also probably do a separate new theme since I prefer the darker text, any other requests for the new theme?

No thanks, darker text is fine, no need to change , if u can make or keep it as stock contact dark theme would be nice. Just hopefully if u can make the text readable for Google messages WhatsApp etc... Would be great. Love the pitch black shades

Had some time today, theme updated v1.4, fixed dark notification text, made text in contacts a few shades lighter & share sheet in Instagram darker.
Let me know if you see anything else, i dont use many stock apps so might have missed something.

Suggestion, possible to make the shade of grey more darker of the share sheet in Instagram.
I'll keep u up to date on any bugs if found... Love the changes u made into contact, texts looks much better
Possible to make the subject of email in notification readable in Gmail if not white... Some other color to read the subject text when u receive email.
Another bug found on the default weather app... Weird black bar at the top, even after restarting phone. Also a suggestion can u not make the font color bold in settings but more like as stock, less highlighted... Better for the eyes

Found another bug while expanding notification for Gmail and facebook
Just want to thank u so much for taking any suggestions into consideration. Very appreciated... Near perfect dark theme.
Hi, is it possible to make the Instagram share sheet this shade of dark, u can use marydues pitch black theme for reference. It will look really cool n cohesive with the rest of theme.
Btw, wanted to ask why is the contact not fully pitch black, it's a shade lighter than the bottom part and search box.
Also a suggestion as u can in the first screenshot of the file manager, is it possible to make the font color of the general theme like this in terms of boldness, like the main title n subtitle of this shade of white.
Very big bug report, icons n texts are not visible per screenshot in the in call app

Yeah, I was rushing and left out the incall UI it's fixed now, also fixed the expanding notification (v1.6).
I've just seen your post about the file manager and contacts, both are intentional but I'll take a look tomorrow.
