HTC need to realise that 256k colours is jst not enough, from the screens this looks amazing but on my device the gradients are jst pure ugly

Tried to fix it by adding abit of noise but to no avail. Great work EC, by no means am i digging at you, this is probly the best 6.5.3 theme i have come across so thanks :)

Im going to continue messing about with gradients aswel, if i find a good setup i will post the modiified files

Okay.
Do you know about the standard manila 2.5 wallpaper?
It is a slight gradient but it looks awesome, without lines.
I uploaded the file here.
It looks pretty ugly on the PC but on your phone you can hardly see the pixels.
But it might be some blurring method which manila is using, because wallpapers always get blurry when using it...

Right im going to play around with this, hopefully (fingers crossed) the manila wallpaper works but im pretty sure there must be some code that modifies the actual file

Edit~ Nope, using the manila wallpaper made things worse, i tried again adding a blur and then noise which also made it worse from the original.
I guess unless some one knows a way to render the gradient abit better this will have to be the best attempt.
Thanks for the quick replys EC.

Yeah indeed I'm afraid of that...

EDIT: No I opened it in HTCAlbum but it's not much better... slightly better.
It'll be indeed manila which is modifying the file...

so sorry If I going to deep in details.
(And sorry for my English)

Thanks I'll use some of your resources when I update everything.

is this kind of what you guys are trying to accomplish?
No it's not about the wallpaper but about the black-grey gradient in the top and bottom bar in for example the settings.

I haven't installed your theme, but I did notice the taskbar is 480x52, for vga I use 480x36 that may be messing up your gradient there. It' probably getting scaled automatically...:)

Je trouve que c'est le theme le plus beau que j'ai pu mettre sur mon touch diamond sous 6.5.3


Google translate:
I think the theme is the best that I could put on my touch diamond under 6.5.3.

Thank you for your work.

    Sorry for my bad english, I just want to replace stwater_480_800 and stwater_800_480 you inserted in your theme with mine so I can use this theme in my cooked ROM. Thank you for reply ;)

    No problem at all mate!
    You need to open 'Condor GT Black Edition.tsk'. You can open it with Wince Cab Manager.
    Then, replace the wallpapers with yours, save the file, and you're done!
