ChosenOS - All (not so) new homescreen. Updated.

[Guest I. C. Monsters]

Greetings all!

I've been saving my first post here for this moment. Last weekend I spent a good few hours designing a new original home screen for my SPV. It is based on an existing suite of application skins known as 'ChosenOS'. The reason for the delay is that I have been awaiting permission from the original designer to use the ChosenOS name for my theme. Happily, I have received permission from him, and here it is for you all to enjoy (or not):

If anyone is interested in seeing some other work from the ChosenOS suite have a look here.

All comments appreciated,

*** UPDATE ***

Thanks to Oakley for pointing out that my skin does not support sms / email counts over a single digit (ie 9). I have fixed the skin to support larger numbers in the counts, and it is now available! ;)

Many thanks to all of you for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated.

*** ANOTHER UPDATE ***

The original download link is now dead and buried see, it was before the days of attachments on good old modaco. Here's the file, sorry about that.

this looks a very sweet skin man nice job

:roll:

[Guest yatpeak]

good one, much clearer than most, less cramped.

[Guest Lojt]

cool! tag for later ;)

[Guest Neiko69]

Everyone should have a look at this. It not only looks brilliant, but when installed really suits the overall design of the phone too (install it and see). This guy should be paid personally from Orange for his time and effort to produce something like this, compared to the shite that we’ve all had to put up with, anyone who thinks different is wrong.

[Guest The Futures Bright]

It's less colourfull than most of the skins yes, but I think this is what makes is so clean and easy to read.

Also the program icons are of course in colour and really stand out. Doesn't look at all cluttered. WELL DONE! 8)

[Guest AsherUK]

I have to agree, really well designed and looks good when installed.

Layot is very clear (which some of the other skins lack) and gives you all the info you need in an easily readable format. Great work Icemaiden ! :wink:

[Guest Oakley]

Hey,

Great design - thanks!

One small suggestion/bug - when I have more than 9 (double digits) email messages unread, the second character falls outside of the background box...white text on the light grey background.

otherwise, icemaiden you rule!

-oAk-

Top Job.

One of the best looking homescreens ive seen. Simple to see, all the info you need and makes the phone look even cooler than it is...

[Guest mugen]

This is going to be my homescreen for the forseeable - it's great. Thanks

[Guest I. C. Monsters]

UPDATED... See first post for details.

[Guest amo]

Nice, hopefuilly the grey background dims down the torch effect of the backlite

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

But the torch is sooo useful ;)

I'd miss it, and I do use it alot at night when I'm off to bed so I don't

wake the other half due to

after living on this site till the early hours :oops: "See red folders" in off topic.

amo that was quick after my pm :lol:

And it's very nice :lol: self portrait? only kidding

[Guest amo]

I live on this forum too, i had nothing else to do so why not! You like it by the way? And upon reflection, the torch is quite usefull. Especially when ur usin the fone in bed and u drop it down the side. With the torch on u can still see where it is

[Guest yatpeak]

Cool, I like it.

I am trying to access this skin from the provided URL, but no luck. Anyone know where I can get my hands on the "chosen os" theme?

[Guest D-rated]

Agree with getwired, I can't get to it.

This screen is nice though, I actually had the ChosenOS theme for HoverDesk on my old work PC. Same interface / theme going on here, very cool.

[Guest hecatae]

cant download either :shock:

[Guest shadamehr]

Nothing obvious that I can find on the site he links to either...

So where is it?

[Guest I. C. Monsters]

Sorry folks, forgot all about that one. I'll update the first post with the file very soon.

[Guest I. C. Monsters]

It's done. See first post for attached zip file.

Thanks y'all. I thought this one had been forgotten about.

Great homescreen - but has anyone tweaked it so that it supports calendar entries?
