myPod | iPod-like Theme with two interfaces to pick from

Last edited by doon on Tue Jul 11, 2006 4:52 pm; edited 4 times in total

hi all,

this is my first theme based on nabilash's great work. i am calling it "myPod" for now.

unfortunately, for my player (using 3.5.37), his files could not be used 1-to-1. so, i decided to create my own with his files as inspiration.

here is the first one: standard iPod list view...

i added a scroll bar and played with 2 font sizes.

my second one, is a carousel, or looped interface:

for this, i borrowed heavily from the OSX look and feel (as well as the iTunes store).

if anyone is interested, i can try to post these files as a zip (i am new here and am still figuring tings out).

also: i have started updating the lower level menus, but am running into issues with my player not refreshing the screen as i move the cursor around (leaves a white space where the cursor was). we'll see.

You can download it from here. (please see the updated file for download further down on the page).

thanks,
doon

Nice Stuff Man... I too would like it if you would upload it...

I Think The Carousel Theme Kicks Ass...

..::Weecho::..

Hi
I used the images in your first post to use them in my firmware I could upload the bitmaps and firmware (3.5.37) if i's ok by doon. It's the ipod one and it looks great by the way. So doon if it's ok for me to upload it then just say.

hi folks,

sorry for the radio silence. work has kept me busy...

uploading the images (as a ZIP) now.

well, i am glad these have resonated with the group!

thanks,
doon

Ko: i imagine you are breaking up the GIF ani and using the individual images, right? let me send you the original files atleast. this way the gradients will be much cleaner and the text sharper.

Ok thanks man,
Thats exactly what I did lol
Im ready for sendy any time either PM me with a link
or email me at littleko_93@hotmail.com
Thanks

hi all,

i am calling the theme "myPod" unless i can figure out a better name.

i have uploaded the ZIP, but i guess it takes a bit of time until it shows up.

the ZIP is about 1 MB and includes the following:

- all exported BMPs
- PNG (Fireworks) working files
- Myriad Pro font
- previews of both themes

btw, i have BOTH themes on my player at the same time. i sliced up the classic list into two bits and replaced all of the BMPs for the "dynamic" menu. additionally, i imported the carousel BMPs for the "static" menu. make sense?

enjoy,
doon

great work

Looks very nice.
You've done a great job with this theme!

If you are able to also include the .psd photoshop files too, that would be great in case people need to change the order of the menus.

If you can, then you can edit your Theme post http://www.mympxplayer.com/dload.php?action=file&file_id=239 and upload the updated file there.

Once again, great job!

hi binh,

i didn't see any way to edit my post on the download page (maybe i missed it). i uploaded the new ZIP to my server and linked to it from a comment field.

if this can be changed, i am happy to change it...just tell me how! :-)

cheers,
doon

Hi doon

After you log in, in the Download page of your file, there should be a [edit] button at the top. Let me know if you see it or not. If you don't, then it might mean I can only edit it.

I have uploaded the NEW file for you already which has the Photoshop and Fireworks file in there.

Once again, big thanks for your contribution and sharing your theme with us all.

hi all,

have received several requests for help on how to modify my PSDs.
