Alright all, I've not received my P990 yet but I've begun work on the OSX theme.
Many will know that I started as a modder for the P-Series but slowly moved into other areas. (See Tracker OSX.SE)
My goal is to create the most complete and simple OSX theme. Many themes seem to 'over do' the OSX look and fail to remember that the key to OSX is simplicity.
It's on V1 and will be fully complete come v3.
At the moment I will need people with P990s to use the theme and let me know if there are any glitches (if possible, please take screenshots).
Did I mess up with a color? Does something look out of place?
V.2 will include updated images and icons.
V.3 will include OSX sounds.
Download it here.

edit: this took me 2 hours. (mainly because I've had to customize images and I needed to change values with trial and error, SE's Preview screen is crap! You change a value and it updates the NEXT section's screenshot, so you have to click around like crazy!)

stupid me!
Try

Posted by mwallon
Works great now.
Looks very nice on the phone aswell =).
I have not found a screenshoot software yet so I used your pictures to explain the first two problems i found -> the bar(see marked pictures) behind the icons dosn't come up on my phone it's still my default bar from the "Tre"-theme there.
I will try it so more during the day and will come back if iI find some more. Keep up the good work!!

The thing is, it would be great if when you chose the affected area in the theme maker, it would show you what is going to be changed and how it will look in the phone.
I'm sure there will be a few more problems.
Looking at the screenshots, you'll notice that the tab in flip closed mode has white text so it doesn't show.
Does anyone know 'which' option to change to change that tabs colour. I simply cannot find it.

Just a bump for you users.

Great work so far Amnesia!
Just one opinion, when browsing the messages (well, sender), the 'highlighted' message name is in text with a blackoutline. IMO, I think the blue highlight bar behind the selected message is enough already, could you possibly try the v2 without the border?
Also, the picture used as the top banner in the theme (for example, in messages, the top of the screen that has the message envelope icon, Messages with drop down menu and the total message count), the image isn't 'continued' (or seemless?) with the image for the main part of the screen. I so hope that makes sense!
Posted by amnesia
is it possible to maybe take a picture of the screen?
At the moment I'm designing this theme blind with no way of seeing how it looks.
As for the seemless part, if you can show me that would be great. I did notice a '1 pixel' variation which makes it look like it's 1 pixel to the left, but if it's more I'd appreciate a pic.
Here is a screen capturing app

I know helping me is a bit tedious, but this theme is for you all. Help me provide the best and it's all free!

hey bro, great work with the themes. im guessing that you'll be enjoying your newly acquired P990i. i just wish the theme would work with my m600. thanks
Posted by amnesia
I 'may' port it to the M600, not sure yet.
Anyway, I've completed V2.
I need help with finding out why one of the tabs displays in white only!
You now have a 'dashboard' feel at the bottom, glass buttons, OSX scroll bars, and I've fixed it so that highlighted text isn't outlines.
I need more help from testers people!
Download V2

Nice theme, thanks. Just wondering though the menu drop down in messages with the black bar it makes it a little hard to read the options. When the ddl uses radio buttons it works well but when its just text it camaflages the 1st letter.
Posted by amnesia
i'd really really appreciate screenshots if someone can take them.
5,000 downloads but only 10 suggestions.

@amnesia
The screen capture link you posted is a link to capture example code. It is not an application.
Posted by amnesia
oh really??? Whoops!! I'll post another
http://developer.sonyericsson[....]iq3_screen_capture_utility.jsp
(this said that it was an example program so I assumed it meant it works, but it's an example)
Here is another program
http://my-symbian.com/uiq3/so[....]lications.php?fldAuto=32&faq=3
You have to pay for the full but there is a trial.
(thanks for moving the thread, I realised I posted it in the wrong section after I posted it)
Posted by amnesia
here's a screensaver I converted.
Posted by shermund
do i need tracker to use this theme? is the ori themes in p990 has the transparent effect on the menus?
Posted by amnesia
you don't need tracker, this is a direct P990 theme.
Posted by chriswg85
Does anyone else have a problem where the transparent "pop-up" menus (such as the one that comes up when you click "More") stop being transparent after about one second. They start out transparent, but then turn solid white or pale green. I noticed this on another theme with transparency also. Is it just me?
Posted by amnesia
is this with my theme?
Can you take a screenshot?
Posted by amnesia
due to starting my final year of law, there may be a delay in V3.
After V3 I will NOT be releasing any updates to this theme (unless I feel like it)
Posted by amnesia
I took the time to reduce some image sizes so now the theme is even smaller (and will hopefully be faster)
