I just fell for a copycat, but since i've seen the same "Bugs" in this theme here, I might as well post 'em up.

Selecting an option still makes the option turn orange, should be turned to blue/cyan too, same goes for the text fields when they are marked active and also the tabs in contacts (Phone/Call History/Contacts/Faves).

You are probably aware of this already, but what the heck ;)


Great theme by the way, looking forward to its completion :D

Thanks for the feedback.

I was aware of these issues and hope to fix them in a few releases.
Right now *LOADS* of issues have cropped up in the theme and it could take a few days to iron them out...

no use in rushing things, you take your time ;)

Heh heh :p - Thankyou very much. I don't know why everything just went wrong, all the mdpi graphics have somehow made their way to the hdpi folder, the xmls are patchy and we can't get a preview to work. Shouldn't take too long to get it back up to scratch, I hope, but I just can't promise anything too soon, as me and @paintballeralex are still really gettings to grips as working as a team :p

Apart from those few tiny glitches I would love you to get rid of the blue highlight of the messages in pull down menu.

Care to mention there glitches? Every detail is useful ;)

The blue in the drop down menu has been taken care of - its black now with white text. Its one of the few things which is actually working at the moment :D

I just want to notify all you guys that I have GCSE exams soon, and so development is going to have to slow right down for quite a while, as I need to revise etc.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope Beta 1.2 isn't that bad! ;)

I will still try and get you all updates, but don't go expecting too much :O

go pass your exams and then we'll think of updates. The pull down menu icons (WIFI, BT, GPS, SOUND) could also be themed. I use ADW Launcher and the highlight under the icons is stock green, would be nice if it were grey and white as well.

and the Wimax or 4G icon is a bit buggy. Sometimes it is white (yours), sometimes it is green (system)

I think that may have to do with the stage of signal lock, or amount of reception, I'm not sure.

@absolutelygrim there is nothing to flash, this is an apk install. And you have to have a rom with Theme Chooser installed (CM7). And obviously, this theme does not replicate the Metro UI - he's running this theme in tandem with Launcher 7

Hope that helps.

@haerigrek if you are using CM7, I believe you can control the color of the Notification Power Widget through:

Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Interface / Notification Power Widget / Indicator Color​

For some roms you must restart the phone so changes can take effect. Unless you have a plugin that makes it inneccessary to restart.

Anyways....... What apps would you like to be themed?

really like the notification bar on this theme alot, only thing causing me not to use it is that the outline on the message box on the cm7 messaging app is orange still to match the theme it should be blue, and the send button doesn't show up until you type something which just looks bad imo. still would love to see a finished release of this theme, your work so far is great :D

    QUOTE=JudasLucifer;27404044]I do at some point intend to add mango icons...I just need to get a source of them, decompiling ROMS for Windows Phone 7 devices got me nowhere.

    I never expected this to support anything lower than HDPI, as that's the only phone I have. However someone said near the start it worked on their LDPI device because theme chooser scales the images down, I have never been able to test this.

    App drawer icons were implemented at some point but many people didn't want them included - and so they weren't. The file manager icon still remains because it uses the same image the rest of the system uses for the folder icon.

    I haven't posted on this thread in a long time and there have been no updates. This is because 1) I didn't see any pressing issues, 2) I have since moved onto CM9 and 3) Lots of schoolwork. I will however revisit this at somepoint and make it "more compatible" with CM9[/QUOTE]

    I have my metro theme for cm9 in progress :D

    I will try and get in touch with the theme author, see what he says...but I wouldn't be surprised if he says no!


    I made the text boxes the exact same size as the original, except I think I might have got rid of some shadow around the edge and left it blank, so it might not work there if you touch now, where you might have used to have been.

    That said I am just in the habit of touching the centre and it works fine, And I don't know what I could do about this...



    I have the highlights half working in Theme Chooser. That being, they are still yellow to the touch, but turn the darker blue (focus) on long press.

    I can't see a problem in my xml:

    Code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_disabled" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
        <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" />
        <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/frameworks_res_list_selector_background_focus" />
    </selector>

    The "frameworks_res_list_selector_background_pressed" is obviously the light blue .9.png - but its still occurring yellow. So I think it *may* be a limit of Theme Chooser. Or someone else might be able to prove me wrong :p

    I will have to put them in the next metamorph for the time being...

    I have messaged the creator of said MetroStation icons, and will await his response to see if I have permission to re-distribute!

    Since it's a free app, I hope he will be liberal!

    Also another good contact might be guys from Minimal bread and Minimal magic - seems most of the 'orange' odd bits have been overcome in those themes. Even on long press options where we get Orange and in keyboard suggestions - they have managed to make themechooser theme with everything coloured in same flow. May be they might be able to share the trick?

    I suppose you could extract the images from the apk if you wanted, but you'd need the authors consent.

    @PaintballerAlex had added all the application icons, he may add more, provided he has them available!

    If @PaintballerAlex wants - he could add more from the market app called 'MetroStation' - it's icon pack. I am not sure how the author might be contacted, but if everyone is happy, you could probably acknowledge the original author and use A LOT of icons in theme.

    For now, icons are semi-themed on my phone. I'm unable to change any icons using various icon-swapping apps. They fail on Launcher 7.

    Also,

    You mentioned that you might have a separate metamorph for replacing all the 'Orange highlights' - would it be replaced by blue or white? With current theme only tile colour that matches is blue, but if all orange were replaced by white, I guess all other tile colours might suit too. :)

    How is everyone finding the text boxes btw? - Are the borders a bit thin or anything?

    The text boxes in email and messaging seems about right!

    However some grey boxes don't respond very well to touch. I mean touching it's edges or few other areas might not work straightaway, but touching right in the centre of any greybox, generally works. If touched in corners then it just needs another tap. It could be my dying touchscreen, but since everythin else works ok, it could be that the images are smaller, bigger or something that I don't understand. But no biggie though.

    Awesome speed!

    You are getting a hang of this theme! ;)

    I'll try to look up more things that can be replicated as in WP7 - and then give more puzzles for you to solve after homework!

    For MMS.apk and speech bubbles - there is an app in the market called WP7 messeging or something similar in search terms.

    It's a new app in beta version, but they seem to have managed to get the bubbles working! - it looks extremely COOL!

    However, it's very laggy and slow as it's still under development. But if you could blend something in - that would be awesome, if not, users could add this app to have a feel of it. Not good enough for daily use though.
