Started by PiZero · 7 months ago

 
Double  Theme release today!
Some days ago I received a request from a friend for a Plain-white, very simple theme. So I started working on it and I made two versions of it; one in white and one in black. So here are the new releases: Pure Black and Pure White.

    The digital clock is too small. If you use "." as the time separator, the dot appears below the baseline of the digits. Also the icons in the music player menu don't look right.

    Otherwise quite nice.

    Hello Pizero.
    I like your pure white Theme very well. Unfortunately i took a big mistake. If i in the contacts or in the calendar a new entry wants to write, is the scripture in white and the background in bright blue. The scripture is thereby unfortunately almost not to recognize. Could you please change? Otherwise, it's all very well. My favorite Theme to time.

    Hi, I'm 1 of your fan, i downloaded almost all your themes. Currently I had the Pure White on my NOKIA E71. One thing i noticed, when I try to update new or existing contacts I found that when we type the details it seems that the font is white with a white background so it is a bit difficult to update, even then when I have finish updating & moved to another details you can see the details we updated with a black font.

    Would appreciate if you could change the font color to black so that it will be easier to check the spelling.

    Thank you very very much.

    Hei PiZero,

    I love the Pure White as it alllows me to use my display as a small flashlight, but as others stated the text colors don't fit.

    You simply can't read links/marked stuff in SMS or show calender details, etc. Those are nearly invisble.

    It would be nice if you'd be able to fix that.

    hi pizero!

    i´m a regular visitor to your homepage for about half a year now. i really like your work.
    i tried the latest pure black and white themes: great - but "the devil is in the detail". ;-)
    e.g. using the white theme: when i read e-mails in my inbox, i can´t see phone numbers and e-mail addresses, because it is "white on white" (which is not very useful ;-)). using the black theme, these are shown in yellowish font colour, which is quite a hard contrast. on the other hand the clock is pretty dark ...

    greetz from vienna!

    p.s. i´m using a nokia N82.

    Hi Pizero, I m saurav from India, a User Interface Designer & Microsoft MVP.

    I am using your Pureblack theme with my Nokai N79 & so far it is the best theme I have ever used. I like the icons, flat &2D which really look good on a small mobile screen. I found some bugs in the theme which are already mentioned on your website's comment section. I would like to request you to fix the following.

    The digital clock font color is black. It is not clearly visible & hardly visible in sunlight. Kindly make it White color font.

    The selection box which comes on hovering over an icon is black. Again black hover on black background isn't visible clearly. Can u make it white.

    Make the icons of Music Player sky blue so that on a black background they will look good, & on a white selection box they will still look good next to the text

    when a call is incoming, the caller and number is displayed in white text on a white background and is unreadable, therefore cannot tell who is calling. Plz change this text to black on a white background

    If i in the contacts or in the calendar a new entry wants to write, is the scripture in white and the background in bright blue. The scripture is thereby unfortunately almost not to recognize.

    In detail view of calendar entries highlighted lines have white text on white background. Similar problem with links on numbers in text messages.

    Can u add some icons for some general applications like Opera Mini, Opera, GMail App etc

    Being a User Interface & Icon designer myself, I would like to help you with making the themes. I don't know how to make Symbian themes, but I always wanted to have a theme with dark background like Pureblack but with Tango Icons. If you like I can provide you some PSD of mock Design & Tango icons for all the icons of Symbian OS 9.3 Series 60 3.2 UI which is what I have on my Nokia N79. Tango Icons look good at 48pixel which is what these phones with 240X320 pixel resolution use & since they r 2D they are easy to look & work with.

    A request, the new icons of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music are also good for a Phone's UI. Can u take those icons, make changes to the pure black theme & release it for Symbian OS 9.3 phones?

    It's a problem by nokia, not from my themes. It seems that they made the E71

    "saurav from India" had a nice list of suggestions, and you said the E71 is different enough that it needs some special tweaks. I wonder, would you be willing to share the "source code" for these themes, and point me to the development tools? I would be willing to make some tweaks for the E71.

    Are the Theme tools a free download?

    I made my own version of "Pure White", mostly by taking the default E71 theme and making all the backgrounds a simple white. This fixes many of the issues in PiZero's Pure white, but it does not have the fancy icons. Download it here
    http://www.filepanda.com/file/13tqetqh6auh/
    and drop the .zip part, the name should be only "brian.sis"
