What's a good Fuze theme?

[saxmaster765]

Thanks for the idea. I may try it later.

My brand new theme.

Works fine, granted orange isn't my favorite color, but it's well suited for Halloween. The album art lovers are sure to appreciate it too. Interesting that when you invert the LCD it turns blue.....I had no idea what to expect when I tried it. Overall, nice job!
One thing I would maybe change would be for something to show up if there is no album art ,in that big spot.....I don't know what though.

I inverted the colors yesterday before I uploaded it and I liked it so much that I thought a blue version of it would be nice for those non-orange lovers (not just you).

yep - got to agree on the blue - also like the fact that the drop shadow becomes a glow when inverted - its a little more soothing and subtle i think

got it loaded up now - liking it alot - many thanks - gonna snap a shot of it in action anyway

quick question - is it poss to overlay images, so can i make an image like the FF and REW so it sits over the top of the art image and make it semi transparent, so whn you FF REW or PAUSE it overlays the associated image over the art for the duration then disappears, just trying to think of ways to reduce the amount on the screen at once - i like to see info but also like a clean look too - yes, i am awkward

anyway, again, many thanks

[saxmaster765]

I wish translucency existed! I would have much fun with that.

It does look nice inverted indeed. Thanks for the new theme. I like it. Really nice work, much appreciated.

[maderin1]

bummer - no transparent image then . thats a downer - but hey, cant have everything

This is my main themes of choice now, well, inverted it is - just like the cleaner layout you have done - though, if you would not mind, i may edit a few images for my own benefit, if thats OK, i wont upload or anything as its your work, just a few little personal bits i want to make - cheers

[McDougal]

Wow, that's a very nice theme ! I'll definitely have to give it a try. A suggestion: Make a different color of the theme, perhaps black, blue or green, that would be cool too.

Feel free. Besides, it's under the license that allows anyone to do that.

You can make it blue in the Display settings....LCD Inverse.

[McDougal]

LOL...I guess that would be a fix . However, I've got to wonder if that inverse damages the screen if you use it all the time....and there's also black and green would be cool colors, I suppose I could try it myself...but I'm not an artist lol ....

Why would it? I don't see why it would cause any more wear and tear than using it the opposite way, at least with these colors.

[McDougal]

Ah well, guess I'm wrong then (not a big surprise LOL ), I don't know much about PMP screens. Maybe I'll keep it on inverse for a little while, or maybe I'll try editing the images myself, although that will probably turn out to be a fail due to my artistic abilities lol....

[maderin1]

quick pics
i only use this for the playing screen as i dont like menus and stuff cramped into an even smaller space

Inverted LCD for the blue, like the white golw round the art


and the original orange theme

[Ultimate Viking]

Looks nice mad.

[Ultimate Viking]

Thanks saxmaster765. I opened up your theme, well, the images that is, and inverted the colors, and enhanced them using the GIMP program. It's like the inverted, only more colorful. The battery indicator inverted is pink, but in this case, it matched the album art nicely. Don't worry, I'll only post the photo here, and not the actual .bmp's:

[McDougal]

Nice pics everyone ! Now that I look closely at the design, it actually makes complete sense that it would be blue when inverted. I tried the setting on my Fuze, and it works quite well, except I don't like the pink battery.

Nice! I like how the volume circle came out!

GIMP is a powerful thing. I don't have 600-some dollars to throw around, so GIMP is what I also have.

[Ultimate Viking]

Thanks brother, liked how it turned out myself. When I get real ambitious, I'm going to get rid of the pink battery icon. Change it back to green. GIMP is a very useful tool. Have done many things with that program.

[Ultimate Viking]

Okay, got ambitious. Changed the battery indicator to green. Thanks again for a cool theme. Really like it:
