Ok, so I thought I'd let you know how things are progressing with the theme. I have added a few more things, such as more icons (speoples20 was kind enough to point me in the direction of a nice icon set) and a few graphical tweaks.

A few screenshots to show you where I'm going with this.


Added icons, as you can see, and changed the way selected (left) and pressed (right) applications/folders look. I'm thinking I might make the selected/pressed png's slightly transparent.



To the left we have the home screen completely idle, nothing pressed nor selected. On the right pic a folder is being dragged to the garbage bin.


Ok, so here you can see that I still have a lot to do in terms of skinning the system icons, but I snapped this pic to show you what the application tab looks like expanded, with the rusty cog and all.


Well that's it for now and there probably won't be any more updates until Sunday evening at the earliest as I have to work all day (and night) tomorrow. Real life sucks. :)

I'm not sure exactly when it'll be, but I might need an RC30 beta tester sometime in the next few days. If you're interested, please let me know.

Is this compatible with JF's new 1.41 update?
No, not yet. As of now it's ADP1 only, and I haven't even released that one already. I will start on the ADP1.1 version tonight or tomorrow, and the RC30 version (that I also plan on beta releasing in a few days) ought to work with both JFv1.3x and JFv1.41.

Well, this project will be delayed a day or two since I've decided to go for ADP1.1/JFv1.41 instead of ADP1/JFv1.31. I was about 60-70% done with the ADP1 theme, but now I have to start over and transfer all files to ADP1.1 instead. Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Wow, this is a beautiful theme. It's the only one I've considered installing so far, which doesn't have something that irks me. Great job, I look forward to seeing your final version!

Due to a faulty hard drive I lost all my skins today. I do have a backup but it is about a week old, which means this theme is pretty much gone. I'll have to start over from scratch, if I ever feel up to it.

Lesson of the day, kids: Make sure to back up important stuff regularly or you're just as retarded as I am.
