[rlToday Skins] Serene, Cityscape, and Stein - minimalistic skins Aug 31, 2008

---

Simple minimalistic skins. I will probably make 4 or 5 then update them.

Original Concepts (makes me wish I had a VGA device):

http://i36.tinypic.com/29w8oq8.jpg
http://i35.tinypic.com/22dwms.jpg

Outcome (close enough):



It is made for QVGA 240x320, but I will be making VGA versions later on.

By default the buttons are laid out so:

Serene:
Home=Phone
Chat bubble=SMS
Applications Icon=File Explorer
Cloud=iContact

Cityscape:
Left girl=Phone and Missed calls
Space guy=icontact
Grey girl=File Explorer
Right guy= SMS

Stein:
Head=icontact
Right bubble=phone
Left bubble=sms
Clock bubble=file explorer

Just edit the skin.xml to change the programs and paths. In order for it to work right you must remove the softkey bar from the bottom of your screen.

If you want to add more icons they can be found here:

To Do:

• Add optional email notification
• Add optional tabs (not sure yet, I really wanted to keep it simple as could be)
• VGA Version
• Maybe change today plugins to throttle or ul probably wont unless I am aching for some gesture support.

Any suggestions or ideas are always greatly welcomed.

**ADDED High Res Diamond Template for mockups. Enjoy! If you have any questions about it shoot me a pm.

Nice..but if you say this skin is created for QVGA users it would be better if you use HTC Touch which is QVGA device..since Diamond is VGA

I honestly didn't even think about that . I just loaded up a Diamond template I had on my computer to see what my concept would look like with a phone around it.
