WOW! A+

While I have only just flashed this theme (about 20 minutes ago), I am super-impressed with it. I have been looking for a nice red theme that wasn't overdone. You have truly succeeded. Nice use of icons, particularly the "onMouseOver" look of the desktop icons. Absolutely beautiful. My new theme (now I need to update my sig). Also, love the wallpapers. Great photos.

Buttons

Small issue (from one app developer to another, I hate to "hate"). The buttons (the standard Android system buttons) re-size incorrectly when highlighted pressed, sometimes dramatically to the point where it's half the size. I am on a G1, if that matters. I haven't yet flashed to my myTouch yet.

Great theme!

First of all let me say that I love your theme! I've had the last 3 versions on my MT3G and it's run super smooth. The icons are also top notch.

However, one problem I've had and am still having is I believe the same that AndroidAppCritic mentioned. When I scroll to select a button and it's supposed to highlight it doesn't. When I say button I mean one that I should be able to press the trackball and select. Usually there's a ring or something around it. The button that's already selected shows the ring but any of the other selections don't. It's not something that a screenshot would show and I can't think of how to describe it any other way. I hope that helps.
I'm fairly new to the game, just had the phone a few months, so my android "vocabulary" is rather limited. :)

Thanks!

Screenshots - Button Issue

I have attached two screenshots of the button issue. One is the before shot -- the normal state -- and the other is the depressed state of the button.

thats an issue with some of the .9.png's, I changed their colour (simple enough) but now they redraw badly, I'll add it to the knownissues list and will get to it as soon as I can, need to learn about the oddities of editing .9.png's

Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)

I will look into that, maybe the .9.png problem again, thanks!

Awesome theme!!

Hey Man, this theme is awesome. Beautifully done. One question, though. Is there a way to remove the time from the top tool bar. I always use a clock widget and it seemes pointless to keep the clock up there. no one has done this yet. Anyhow, I really love your work.

someone who's good at editing the xml's (not me!) could colour the toolbar clock black and also probably make it alot smaller, black + smaller = more or less gone.

I don't mess with the xml's personally, don't have time to learn how to do that.

As GDE is in the Market for 2.25 EUR I can't add it to as free theme.

I am going to download it and check it out and see how much it interferes with my theme and also see about theme / skinning options for it now and in the future.

Im running GDE and your theme and all of your icons and the top bar are themed. It is still very themed. I'll edit this post with some SS

EDIT: SS
