Nice. It actually seems like leather (Which is your whole purpose :D). I like it but i'm not really into old fashioned themes :o Well it's a beautiful leather theme which is very original compared to some overdone themes coughvistacough

Hm, the icon's look much more "high-tech" then the background leather. It looks good, except it seems like the background and the icons don't really mix.
Also:
Moved to Theme Preview Section, since that's what it is.

Just beautiful ! I love it :-) A black version would be nice as well... so I can match the theme with my Casemate Signature case for the iPhone hehehe

the bottom looks good but i dont like the top too well

I like it, but I agree that the little colored bits at the bottom of the icons don't really fit. I think that if the top icons were the same as the dock ones it would be even better because than you can change them around without having to do any extra work.

Just one word:
Awesome.
I like the icons, I think they look fantastic with the wallpaper.

O.o whats the blank icon, Calender?

Ive been hearing a lot of people not really taking to the "Jewel" icon, so I may just save them for another theme, and just use the 1 Dock style icon acorss the board.

I dont like to agree with Crazyloof cause sometimes i think that there is useless criticism but he is right here. The theme is awesome. I really really like this theme. but the icons do look too hi-tech. Make them more simple. Without the random light and stuff. It doesn't fit. Can't wait to see the finished product. It looks incredible.

Hahah alright I'll rework them and see what I can come up with. =)

wow thats way way way better. Love that design. What are the blank ones though?
EDIT: The jewel kinda looks messy to me. The stitching around it and everything kinda seems unnecessary in my opinion. I love the icons the way they were for sure

Ya those were both my thoughts, which explains why i added the jewel but wasn't too sure about it. I do feel its a little too simple, and I'm not exactly sure how to jazz it up...=Z
Hummmm...Ideas? =D

Part of me really likes the simplicity. Maybe you could do 2 versions? Hehe

would be nice if you could do the ipod touchj instead of the nano though.

Umm...why do you think its in Previews? ;)

haha man you want those "jewels" lol. Looks awesome. Cant wait for the release. I will probably darken the leather to match my ipod touch's case but it looks great. you should release an icon template too. Can't wait for the full release. God job
davekilljoy
02-17-2008, 07:35 PM
Hahah ya..i just like them!
Soo its coming close to being fone, at leats the "core" icons are almost done. =)
oli_170
02-17-2008, 07:44 PM
sweet! Can't wait. I might work on some other.artwork files to make this a complete theme. Once it's all done.
Also black leather with the white stitching would be incredible too. Though i am sure that would be more difficult
EDIT: Black leather back ground with a real dark brown leather for the icons. hmm. Maybe that wouldnt work lol.
davekilljoy
02-17-2008, 08:30 PM
Almsot there!!
Annnd time for a screenshot, most of the core buttons are done, but I'ma take a nap and finish them off tomorrow! I'll aslo provide a template tomorrow..at some point.

Can you do something with the wallpaper to make the top bar go more with the theme? Like make the top bar transparent and make a top bar on the wallpaper that matches the dock? you know what I mean?
davekilljoy
02-17-2008, 09:01 PM
I do! and I can give it a shot. =)

This looks great. I would love if you would make ARTWORK skins to match it. It would look incredible. It's awesome, I can't wait for the release.

02-18-2008, 09:50 AM
When the release happens i am going to work on a skin for the theme. It's a cool theme so i wanna help out. Thats if killjoy isn't going to do the ARTWORK
brandon311
02-18-2008, 09:52 AM
If anyone does do the artwork it would look best if they used the leather thats behind the dock icons. Thats just my opinion.
oli_170
02-18-2008, 09:53 AM
ah when the theme gets released I am going to darken both of the leathers a bit cause it will match my case so it wouldnt be as bright as that. So my skin would prob be no good to you
