[PRJ] [THEME] [GTX Flavours Released] [2016 Compatible] GTX Sense 1.8.5 Theme [W/VGA]

---

Head to post 3 for GTX Flavours

A New sense project i MIGHT be working on Here! Would love some feedback and suggestions.
Metro (WP7) Sense Theme Cancelled, More info Here

Manila 2016 Core Fixes can be found Here (WIlliam archbell Text, Empty Mail tab, Empty Calendar)

As you all may know already, after the awsome work ElCondor and Kamill put to the theme further development was cancelled. Therefore i'm starting this new thread which will carry on development of GTX and help maintain the theme.

WARNING: Please Backup your device before installing. Also before uninstalling remove all quicklinks etc, these seem to conflict with uninstallation. We will not be responsible for any problems you may have with this theme, but were always there to help.



Just wanna add that please use the search function as most of the issues you face may have already been asked before and may be solved. Also if you wish to look through the attachments of this thread, go to the WM themes section and click the paperclip next to this threads name.
Also, just wanna give out this warning, if you install ANY MOD's which are in form of a cab, it will make GTX uninstallable. So any of you who are having problems uninstalling, reinstall the theme then uninstall.

Remember, Stock Rom = Uncompressed

The GTX theme is originally made by ElCondor & Kamill.. Thanks for all their work they originally put in..

To continue to downloads Look at Post 2

All Addons & Fixes will be placed in Post 3, Check them out! Thanks to dandnj71 for keeping it up. (these will still work, although they may be outdated)

Head to Post 4 for ElCondor's references and help on keeping the theme running. (PSD's, Fonts etc.)

There is obviously a lot of work needed and i dont think anyone would be able to handle it on their own. Therefore we have put together a team for the later releases of the GTX theme.

A fantastic mod has been made by janneman22, much thanks to him, to reserect GTX's popularity.

This mod allows you to add a hint of colour to the original GTX. The colours available are:
(Note:Screenshots show different colours, you can choose the colour which suits you best)







Download Links will be available tomorrow, just making original version.

GTX Theme info

What is GTX? --- GTX is a Manila theme for Sense 2.5. Based on the incredible work of Kamil and El Condor here, and has been reworked to work with the updated Cookies Home tab Mod.

Included in the theme is Co0kieMonster's Home Tab Mod version 1.7.1 .. we Thank Cookie for his outstanding work.
CHT Editor is not included and will need to be installed from here if you want it.
The HQWallpaper Patch is included in the theme installation.
The GTX Theme itself DOES NOT include a WM theme or taskbar.


The recommended Sense version is 2.5.2012. You'll need to flash a ROM with Manila 2.5.2012 to get this latest version.
.

To Check your Manila Sense version - go to the settings tab in Sense, select About phone , and then look at Software Information.

Theme may NOT be compatible with other Manila Mods.

Install instructions

Run the Cab file and select install to Device

--Issues with unresponsive Twitter Tab and Facebook Tab Font color Install this
--If you have problems rearranging your tabs - try this - delete ManilaFull.xml in /windows and soft reset

--Lockscreen and music freezes device - Check your registry
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\ Home.lock.SuspendTimeout
The value should be set to 0.

Here we will have resources for items such as WM themes, taskbars and other add-ons fitting the theme

Please lets keep the thread clean and keep posts on topic, also before posting issues, problems, questions..read through the thread, and search this and the original here

By downloading, you agree that the members that released this are not responsible for any problems you might get by this theme.
You may not upload the theme to another server. You may also not use the graphics without permission.

I'd like to thank everyone here who supported us, especially the guys that have now taken over the project.
It was a great project to work on, it was nice to learn more and more, and working with Kamill was a real pleasure.
I'm glad that there's such an interest in our very first Sense theme, I've never made another Sense theme before this one.
Remember that this is but the beginning of new themes to come. I'm looking forward to skin future interfaces from HTC or from other manufacturers.
Thanks for all your help guys, the pressure was tough, but I'm glad we made the decision to give this project to someone else.

Regards,
EC

Guide for Creating GTX Styled Skins
Here's a little guide for creating GTX skins. Sometimes I see that the GTX style is being modified to fit one's own need, but I think this standard is a must to create the original look.

Let me draw some guidlines:

1. There are 2 main colors: Dark grey and a gradient from white (up) to light-grey (down).
   Download the PSD attachment package which includes some high res buttons, arrows, checkers, etc.
2. Make sure that there are no sharp edges, everything needs to be rounded, but not too much.
3. Boxes, so selector grapics and more, that are white-grey, need to have a 1px stroke which you can see clearly in my graphics in the thread, and an outer glow, which is dark grey.
   Again, you can find the PSD in the attached Zip, from that PSD you can copy the layer style.
4. Apart from the outer glow mentioned in #3, shadows should be removed from the design.
5. Absolutely no glow/reflection. I know that it's inviting to do it, because many people think that it looks good, but it will break the design.
6. There should be more white than grey.
7. For arrows, use the dotted arrows found in the original design. These arrows can also be found in the PSD attachment.
   
   Use the "Helvetica Neue LT" font for optimal look. It's included in the attachment.

Finally, I would like to ask you this:

----------Search before posting!-----------

Glad to see the work put into this won't be wasted. Keep it up ElCondor, Kamill and Dark Ninja !

EDIT: Here is a small possible improvement, with a preview and the PSD. For details see this post.

thx to you

i'm happy to see someone continus this very nice project.

Thank you DN!!

right on!!! Can't wait to see where else this theme can go. Kamil and ElCondor came up with a beautiful concept and starting point. Love the "clean" and "pure" white look.

Great! I'm happy that there's a team in place to continue this great work.
Let me know if you need some help with images. Also, I was wondering if this theme can be converted for a QVGA phone for manila 2.0.

Do you need a beta tester?
