You'll get dither problems with png8 at 128 or 256 color.

Would I have to use an icon that is 64x48 exactly? Can I use one that's smaller? or will I have to make it 64x48 and then set some transparencies?

Thanks

alright, megabit, first thing. I love it but you wanted feedback. I have used macs since they first came out. There is like a white bar across the top that someone could almost mistake for glare(?) yeah idk why that is there.....Its like a white um streak....yeah other then that....can't think of anything off the top of my head....I have a question, i have a little triangle (always been there) under the signal bar and above the 1x...well it used to be blue now red due to theme change but i am not roaming...only there when i have signal....normal? Vzw wouldn't know if it hit them in the head. I know more then the damn associates! lol. alright later. Oh accept my pin buddy!

I've being trying to figure this out for a few days now and have not had any luck. When I'm done creating a theme, I export it as ALX, and I always get this warning message:

Warning: The following resources could not be included in the theme for reasons explained below:
Homescreen Background

Warning: Homescreen Background: Resource is bigger than 60 kb.


The backgrounds I tried are in jpeg format, I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure it out.

Need HELP!!!

Use .png format instead of .jpeg.

The dimensions of the file should be 64 x 48. That's how they tile on the screen. However, the icon image within that size can be anything you want. So yes, that is where the transparency comes in- any area you want the background to show needs to be blank and when you save the .png24 file, make sure transparency is enabled.

On the Mac platforms, the icons aren't animated other than an optional enlargement on the dock when you roll over them. My intent was to mmic that with the raised icon and the little black triangle beneath, which also mmics an open application as shown in the Mac dock. Making animated icons is possible (such as the ones MacBerry has now) but more complex ones would only require lots of time and energy to create them.

Thanks for the comments- they'll all be used for Rev 2.

To be honest I wouldnt change a thing then man, its perfect I must say. I like everything about it, its warm, and very comfortable to look at.

That's right-- there is a bug in the Plazmic SW that blows up JPGs when it converts them to png. They need to be about 35K or less if JPEG, depending on the complexity of the image, or just less than 60K if png format.

1) The streak or glare...hmm, maybe Verizon doesn't put their network name there like GSM carriers do. I'll have to go look at images on their web site to see. It's easily removed as a layer from a homescreen mask file.

2) GSM carriers turn on network indictors to alert you. In the case of Cingular, they might have an SOS in place of the network protocol and it's pretty cool when its red. I also found when the battery gets low, the gauge will turn red. However, these are all or nothing so I can make them black and it will be up to the user to know somethign is different. No problem.

Great feedback- thanks.

Have you guys seen the "automator" yet? One way I see him on mine is to have an image in the browser, and then save it. You'll get a dialog box menu with the little dude standing there.

MegaBit, don't change the red icons. I love them! Yeah my batteryindicator always did go red when low. Yeah could be a vzw streak cause we don't have our name up there. Accept the ping. Later buddy.

[k40jeep]

i'm having problems downloading from rapidshare, mainly my system at work wont let me long on to it, can someone attached a zip file with some 7290 themes, please

If you know anything about icons, you know of one man. FOOOOD!!!!

Food has made some amazing icons over the years that i love and use all the time. I have decided to make a personally theme for myself that was alittle more airy then the mario theme.

Hence i show you "Fooood" the blackberry theme



P.S. So far i have created two themes. I have not made any of the graphics for them. I did a doctor, cut job of images to make themes. I do not take creative credit for teh actual art work. I have emailed the authors of the wallpapers and the icons and asked them for permission to distrubute my themes for free with there hard work on them. I will not release any till i get permission.

your pm will not help you. I am an advocate for doing the right thing and giving credit where it is due.
