Howdy everyone,
It`s been waaaaaay to long. Anyways i`m looking for some constructive (i can`t stress that enough) critiszm on my iPhone theme im doing for myself and a few lads back at my old Regiment. Let me know if you like the icons (if so which, being Ribbons of British Army medals, or items like the compass). Anywho i`ll be around here for a while if you fancy catching up.

I would try to get the icons to be glossier just to be more "iPhoney" and possibly a simpler background? Remember, Apple revels in simplicity.

Amigo!!! You return. Good to see your ugly mug again!! We'll have to catch up on MSN when you're free.

As for the phone theme, not bad, but you need more depth in the badges. I have some brilliant Apple style tutorials you could try if you want would really fit the iPhone. The BG is ok, but needs more depth to. I know they are your camos but they do need some shading. The compass rocks though.

[Cattman2236]

Well i was thinking of dong the buttons with the Ribbons, like as you see on the settings i have the R.E.M.E (Engineers, settings lol). But i do agree with the "more" glossy idea though. To be honest i have given up with this theme and gone back to it several times now...it`s becming a pain, So if anyone fancies a challenge lol.

Good to see you to Wizard...In celebration here is a pic of me as Brehznev:

Also, the weather sock is hard to see against the background. Maybe include a bit of sky for it on the button?

About what he said. WB, too. Oh, and a link to those tuts would be nice Wiz xD. Also, Catt, do you need Cydia to apply these?

[WNxMastrefubu]

sweet, does it work on itouches?

Kick me in the bollocks! I actually didn't see this thread until now. Good to have you back, mate. I sent you a PM just moments ago. Sorry I
couldn't talk to you earlier this week. I guess my sleeping habits are a little obstructive at times. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

As for your iPhone theme, I do like what I see. Granted, I never understood the craze about all the i-stuff but it's a cool idea.
Little suggestion: As it has been said already, the weather icon is a little hard to see. I suggest either making the part with the actual windsock a little bigger by shortening the pole or adding a background to the image. That way, it also fits the other icons.


Just a little visualisation to make it clearer.

It's a nice theme, I give it to you, but the background is over-the-top in my opinion. Take something more simple if you want to divert attention to the icons.

[Cattman2236]

Quick update before i go and play force unleashed, This is W.I.P as i still have not managed to get new icons etc etc but the whole runs smoothly seeing as there is only a few colours to deal with. Anyway opinions if you please, Rayburn before i forget mate i`ll catch up with you tomorrow dude:

[Warbz]

Looks very sleek and simple. Simple is good btw.

[Rayburn]

I like the new background. The DPM wasn't a bad idea but it ended up disrupting the icon titles a bit. This one's more visible; add a few custom icons at we're set

Also, I'm seeing an SNES emulator

Gonna try to be on MSN today. Talk to you soon, mate!

Thanks but i did not make some of them, Mostly just used google images (god i love google), and a few iPhone modding sites to look for icons. But it is getting there though.
