I have been working over the past couple of days finishing the first theme for the forth coming theme creator.

The first “official” theme from us is an ipod type theme. For this particular theme I kept the default icon shadowing and changed every other component. We removed all of the default button outlining and added only blue highlighting to both the titlebar and applicaiton buttons to give it more of an ipod menu feel.

Here is a pic of the default Program Launcher theme for comparison with the new theme shown above.

And with one of the default backgrounds during the animation:

As you can see, we are making headway in at least starting to see how we can create new themes and getting it running under the theme creator (which is more like a packager/emulator than a creator).

We have also been playing around with different button shapes for our next theme.

We will be releasing the ipod theme with the [url=https://www.umpcportal.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=74]Origami Theme Creator[/url] beta in the next week or so. It will have all of the included theme naming properties functional when it is released so people can tell where each new theme came from.
Until then enjoy the pics and thanks to [url=http://blog.tokash.org/]John Tokash[/url] for installing these themes and taking all of the shots.
