Guest Rod Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) Noticed this over at coolsmartphone.com so go check it out. A new website phonethemes.com claims they have cracked animation on a homescreen without eating up battery power. You can sign up for beta testing. Hope hasn't been posted already.

Guest pauledmond Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 The site hasn't been updated since Sep 29, so it looks like a dead project. Hopefully I'm wrong - it was promising...
Guest Rod Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Good point although coolsmartphone.com seems to think beta testing is beginning in February and they've had a sneak peak at the themes appartantly. What I found funny was the N-Gage with the Windows Mobile OS showing on it. Why do people do that?
Guest ppcmd Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 I signed up figured what the heck.
Guest martin Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 I got an email reply from phonethemes today. They have confirmed that the project is ongoing with a possibilty for Februrary testing. I'm definitely looking forward to that :D
Guest Pigo Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Let's hope they succeed! looks like something that could be a hit. Pigo
Guest gun_runner Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I'm in! They're still saying testing should start in February.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 They're pretty cool (I have the beta themes etc.), but I hope the wider community can design for the system! P
Guest ppcmd Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Got the email too. I also have my yellow wristband too.
Guest peterson65 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Posted March 10, 2005 i am beta testing the themes now, what do the rest of you beta testers think? they work good but like screensavers on the pc i get bored and keep changing them
Guest Dale1313 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 I am not sure about the animated themes, it seems a little to advanced for simple screen designers, Plus all the deal about getting the animation signed and stuff, I was really surprised to see so little done from the madbeetle side of things. After all most people don't stare at the screens to really enjoy animations. Cool as it is I am not sure it will catch on in these early phases. Now what would be cool is to take a clip from a movie and use that for the homescreen....!!!! With the wide array of themes out there I think it would have to be something better then what we have seen to really grab hold.
Guest confused and hungover Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 what kind of animation will it be? like flash or Gif images or something?
