Looking to find, or request development of a red based theme, to match in with the red displays (radio, buttons, speedo etc.. in my A3.

My HTC Touch sits nicely in the brodit holder... but would look even better if the screen blended in...

Many thanks for any help...
Cheers

I can do that for you, in fact I should have done it anyway as my dash is also red (Seat Leon)

I'll knock some up and you can take your pick, or did you have anything specific in mind?

I'd like this too for my A3 so if you're gonna give it a go then I'll throw a few suggestions in...

- I'd not like to see a lot of Red, keeping the background all grey/black with just the text and icons in red.
- I've got an O2 Orbit 2 and have used the home customizer to get the HTC home plugin on there, is there any clock/icons that can be found or developed in red to match?
- I don't know if this applies to others but I don't like to advertise an Audi logo when I'm not in the car, just seems poncey, so a non branded (just coloured) theme would be ideal for me.

Thanks very much mandt!

Exactly what I was thinking of Madeye, a black-ish theme with red fonts and red HTC Home biggrin.gif

Nice one mate... cheers

How much choice do you have on the colours ... i.e is the full pallet available? I could try and sample the colur so an exact match can be achieved?
The Audi dashboard colour is a kind of orangey red... rather than pure red?

Lots of black background... with any text, borders, bars etc. in the orangey/red colour...

Cheers

Ok here's the first attempt!

Attached File  Audi.gif ( 57.2K ) Number of downloads: 27


The top and bottom bars are as close as I can get them, it's not as dark as it looks in the picture though.

Kinda threw the background image together for now, as I've been working more on the getting the HTC Home colours right.

Let me know what y'all think!

Nice one... looking good, will give it a try when driving home tonight..

Just another thought ... is it possible to have everything in black (bars, borders, background) with only the text in the red colour?
Cheers

Here's version two:

Took me ages to figure out how to get the softkey text red! The text in the top bar must stay white as the icons do not change colour when you apply a theme

Download Basehue from here and set it to 160 to get the top and bottom bars nice and glossy black

The easiest way to change the HTC Home icons and clock fonts is to use HTC Home customizer

After you've got the program installed you'll need to zip the clock and icon file packs into two archives, I called them both VAG.zip so it all ties in.

Put the VAG.zip with the clock icons in your Program Files\HTC Home customizer\FILES\clock folder, and the tab icons into Program Files\HTC Home customizer\FILES\icons

You can then select them within the programs settings

Don't make the same mistake I did, of putting the files in a folder in a zip, or it won't work wink.gif
