Delayed...
I'm really sorry that I have to do this... I really thought that I could make my May 2nd deadline. Before you get too peeved with me, remember that I've taken on this project all by myself. I've put in about 26 hours on this, this week alone. And somehow, I'm STILL not done. I ran into a couple of bugs with the Other.artwork file and some transparency issues. I eventually figured out a work-around, but I'm still not completely satisfied. All of that fiddling with that file put me back some time. I think I've finally those done for all color variations, but now there's the little matter of the 21 summerboard themes with 250+ icon support. Needless to say, I'm going to have to keep working on this. Here's a little picture of some of the work that I've done this week:
http://www.whitneystcharles.com/IpodThemes/BadgePreview.png
Know that I'm doing my absolute best, and working as fast as I can. I'm hoping that sometime late next week I'll be able to deliver, but I can't be certain. (I'm going out of town with my family to celebrate my graduation) I know this is frustrating, but please be patient.
************************************************
Hey everybody! This is just a little teaser of my first full theme. I plan on skinning absolutely every skinnable part of the touch interface. Badge will come in several colors, though I haven't quite landed on which ones yet. I'm totally open to suggestions!
I would like to mention that I was totally inspired by David Lanham's Agua icons.
Update: I've done a ton of work on this theme and it is STILL taking forever. Here are some of the things I've been working on lately:

I'm really liking the little buttons on the bottom of that safari skin, ... they look even better on my ipod.
I've decided that I would make two versions of some of the regular dock icons. That is, there will be circular versions as well as some with transparent backgrounds. Several of you have also expressed that you didn't like the "wmp" style dock - so I whipped this one up, too. I'm quite pleased with it, but you can let me know what you think:

Black
White
Red
Purple
Yellow
Bright Green

Sure! I'm definitely open to suggestion about that... I kinda like the way that one looks, but it's true that it's a pretty over-done look. What do you think about other options?

I think the dock looks good. Even though it's a WMP style it's very different. I feel like the Safari icon is a little out of place, the circle that it's in I mean.
On the whole the theme looks amazing and I can just about guarantee that I will actually use this.
The Safari buttons should be very similar to the icons I think, but not just circles. One suggestion I have is if you do skin everything don't do circles for EVERYTHING, it'll get a little old.
Please include a .PSD template so we can make our own icons.
This theme looks amazing already, I'm sure when you release it it'll be a huge hit!

That's a great point - I definitely know what you mean about juggling between circles and other shapes. So do you think that the safari icon should be just like all the other icons on the bar?

Sure - (Though this will be my last post this evening, I really do have to start my 10pager due tomorrow ;))
To do that little trick, there are just a few steps:
Place all the icons for your theme in the same psd, on different layers
Go over to your actions tab and create a new action called "Save Icons" or something like that
Next you make sure all your layers are invisible except for the very first one. Hit your record button and start your saving - Save the first one off as.. I dunno "Installer.png" for example, then turn off the visibility for that one, turn on the next one and save it off as "Calendar.png" - the action is recording every single little thing you do, so it knows what to do next time you play it. It helps to name the layers the same thing as the icon itself.
I could post a tutorial about explicitly how to do this with screenshots and stuff, if you like ;)

Just one suggestion: Try making all the icon 'icons' the same size.

Then again, I love your work.

just one small hint for those 1.1.3 users (like me)
why not make a 4 icon dock? its so stupid when such a beautiful theme doesnt work because it needs 5 icons in the dock.
just hoping you dont gonna make a 5 icon dock :)

4 icon dock is a must these days with the newer firmwares. Also, like most themes, icon support is going to be paramount. Too many themes with too few icons, just ruins the whole effect. I love the work you do, I hope you keep it up =)

A 4 icon dock should work quite beautifully with this theme, actually - so there's no need to worry ;) In fact, this one scales quite nicely. Because you'll have two versions of the dock icons, you have some choices about the look, as well:

A 4 icon dock should work quite beautifully with this theme, actually - so there's no need to worry ;) In fact, this one scales quite nicely. Because you'll have two versions of the dock icons, you have some choices about the look, as well:

I love your graphic arts AppleTree and I love the theme. However, the dock is horrible. I put many of my important icons in the dock and want it to stand out so I can get to them quickly. Perhaps messing around with a couple colors or textures would prove to my liking. But, then again, I could modify the .psd file to my liking.

Hmm - alright, could you be a little more specific about what you're looking for? Or possibly give me an example of the kind of dock that you generally like? I personally really like my dock, but I'm certainly open to the idea of releasing with a couple of variations. Thank you for your constructive criticism ;)
Looks great.
Love the 2nd version of the dock the most. I really like the iTunes (i think its iTunes) icon but the videos icon looks a little like boobs :cool:

Hey i actually like it but i dont like the dock.I dunno what you should change there but i dont like it very much.The other stuff is really nice.Im hope you will make a looot if icons :) I have about 70 Apps on my iPod :) So its very hard to find the right theme for me.
I still need about 3-5 Icons for " Your Theme " to have a full customized springboard;)

Alrighty, at the request of... well several different people, actually - I whipped up a variation on the dock that is still true to my 'original vision'.

Yeah i like that one more :) But i think you should release it with other docks , too.So everyone can decide for him self.
Will there be other MusicPlayer skins ,too ?
TheAppleTree
03-14-2008, 07:55 AM
^Yeah - I definitely planned on leaving the other one in there, too...
In terms of the music skins... I think I'll stick with the ones on the first post. Frankly creating these variations is taking up a ton of my time and is consequently pushing back my release date further and further. I'll continue to give this theme love even after I release, though :)
^^As for a release date - I'm really not quite sure... only that it will be a while - as I said in my initial post, I've got my thesis to write this week and next... and I don't have a ton of time to be putting into it, at the moment. I'll post an actual date the minute I have a better grasp on what I have left. At least two weeks, I'd say... but probably a bit more than that. I'm so sorry for the long wait! This project ended up being a lot more involved than I previously realized.

Stop tempting me with such awesome-tastic-ness. I can't wait for this release. Seriously, I can't wait. Just one thing. Are you gonna include a .psd with the theme so we can make our own icons?
TheAppleTree
03-18-2008, 06:30 PM
One of the things that will be handy about the summerboard part is that I've built the psd in such a way that I should be able to make color variations very quickly. Once I've made every icon once, I'll be able to change the shape or style and save off a new theme in a matter of seconds. (WOOT for adobe actions!)
For instance - I was thinking about doing another version of the summerboard themes with a glass rim around them...
I haven't really decided yet though... thoughts/feelings?

Actually - the whole process might be sped up a bit if I could get some testers to help me out. AllSystemGo has already volunteered for this task - but it would be helpful to have more than one, since technically Badge will be 10 themes in one. I guess that means, I have 8 spots left to fill.
Anybody who wanted to help out would have to be just as anal retentive as I am... Seriously - if you could find even a pixel that shouldn't be there, I'd want to know. Tester would have to know how to replace other.artwork, install multiple Customize themes, install multiple wallpapers, install summerboard themes... most people probably qualify in this respect.
Any takers?

Well, my favorite color is dark blue. Also, since one of my coworkers shattered the screen on my phone, I'm probably not the best to test this out. Not to mention that I am on 1.1.4. I guess I just failed at this thread.
However, I will be going out and getting a new phone thus coming Saturday (the nearest Apple Store is just about an hours' drive away from where I live.
I think for the time being, at least until Saturday, that I will have to pass. And also hope that I don't cut my finger open on my screen...
Thanks for almost letting me try this :) I'll get you out a copy if PocketTouch, whether or not you're interested, the next time I'm online and not on my phone.

Status Flow- The only prerequisite is that you should be able to install the other.artwork file, multiple customize themes, summerboard themes, and Safari & Mobile Music app themes. It also helps if you're at least a little obssessive-compulsive... I'd like for you to really scrutinize whatever I give you.
Currently I have the following list:
SkylarEC - undecided
AllSystemGo - Black
Crypt - Orange
XyracX - Cyan
I desperately need testers for bright green, periwinkle, yellow, red, white, and purple. Id like to start testing possibly next week (starting with the summerboard theme and a few customize themes). If I don't get more volunteers I may ask you guys to test more than one color... if you're okay with that, that is.

Not sure if this has been suggested before..but I think it would be a great if you could merge the volume knob with the volume bar so that they look like just one entity filling up the bar..rather than the knob sliding along the bar...
could you please try this out in photoshop and show us how it looks?

all of this must of taken you ages to do and design. Like the other artwork stuff. When i edited the other.artwork for a theme i wanted to match with it took me a long long time. And you have done so much of it.
SkylarEC
03-19-2008, 07:50 AM
The other.artwork rules me out, as I'm on 1.1.4. I'm thinking though that it might be useful if I made an app that changes the other.artwork automatically.
Or, maybe it won't be.
oli_170
03-19-2008, 08:19 AM
I would of thought the iphoneshop thing that extracts the other.artwork would have done something to be able to extract the artwork from 1.1.4. Thats why i am still on 1.1.2 cause i like to edit the other.artwork.
So if you could make something that you can edit the artwork in 1.1.4 i would definetly use it.

That looks good :)
Actually what I had in mind was for the knob to merge with the bar but still stand out..i don't know how to put it in words so I thought I'd show what I meant.
This is because I had tried using a volume knob that was supposedly invisible but found it very difficult to adjust the volume that way.

this just gives me more inspiration to keep working on "decrypting" (is that what you'd call it?) the 113 and 114 other.artwork
every time i try i get closer and closer....
Do it! If you can that would be awesome cause i would finally upgrade. Why havn't the iphoneshop creators done something about it?

Very true - If nobody else steps up in the next couple of days, it's all yours - Basically I'm just leaving the lines open until I have the free time I need to wrap up all the variations - I'll stop taking new testers on Monday when I start mailing stuff out to everyone :)

Hey AppleTree,
The dock looks great now, I'm sorry I'm getting back to you this late, had trouble finding this thread. Anyway, I think you should try different variations of the color of this dock on the blue. For example: A nice shade of maroon or reddish tint may be worth trying (or any other colors that might look nice [give yellow a try]. I think your first dock looks a little better now since you changed the wallpaper (which looks absolutely wonderful may I mention). Hopefully, your theme will look great in the end :). Keep up the good work!

Well the summerboard theme itself, along with the customize themes should be just fine... it's just the Safari skin and the UI skin that wouldn't work for you guys. As soon as someone figures out a way to extract the Other.artwork file for 1.1.3 and 1.1.4, I could include that... but as far as I know, no one has done that just yet

Helllo Everybody!
I'm new here so I'll start by introducing my self: My name is Charlie and I come from Australia.
Anyway, I really like the theme TheAppleTree. I am %99.9999 sure that I will use it on my Itouch(The other %0.00001 allowing for abnormalities) the only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the calender Icon looks a bit out of place. I personally think that it should look the same as the rest.
Also I would like to request the following Icons:
*MobileChat
*Accelerolog
Thanks, And once again a great theme.

Oh! Working now! Maybe something was funky on the server end when I tried it... Anyway, I'll give that a shot, though I'll need my trusty testers to test it for me... since I'm on 1.1.2. Or... maybe I'll upgrade, I'm not sure. The reason I haven't yet is that I love skinning the entire interface... and if that's possible now on 3 and 4, I guess I could upgrade. Is there anything else that 1.1.2 can handle that 3 and 4 can't?

oli_170

Well i think from looks of it. It 1.1.3 can handle more then 1.1.2 now cause you can skin the keyboard too.
I am willing to upgrade to 1.1.3 and test for you if your going to do it. I am on 1.1.2 and its all skinned so upgrading wont work properly so I have to do the process again. But if you're really thinking about doing it. Then I will happily help you out testing as many themes as you want for the other.artwork on 1.1.3

Well - the rim is like.. a transparent glass thing... can't really tell as well from what I posted cause it's on a white background, but in my opinion it looks pretty sweet in action. Give that one a chance.
No problem changing the black bits.. that shouldn't be too bad. And sure, I can definitely make a videos dock icon, and whichever others people would like to request ;)
^Don't have a release date yet... in fact, I'll probably have to put this one on hold for a little longer... I'm really sorry, I just can't afford not to finish school up strong this year. I'm afraid academics are my top priority.

Well, as long as we're being critical, the Phone icon looks like it is slightly too large for for the small dock. Sorry, I didn't put the small dock back on to notice the icon size until just a few minutes ago.
I still haven't had the time to really test out the glassy version.
I can send you another screenshot if you want to see it.
On another note, I was showing my coworkers something on my phone, and they all loved the theme.

okay so i just tried orange with a straight black wallpaper
and it looks alot worse than the normal background imo, it lets you see exactly all the little imperfections and stuff in the glass rimmage, which i don't notice on the normal one
however i turned theme wallpaper off to see if that would make it black and my MotP wallpaper showed through, and i think that'd look amazing with the purple one
