Thread: w900i

Good start,
it seems it's going to be a good skin.
Even if buttons are a little small the important is to have a bigger button's definition in .skin
I think it could be better with a deeper 3d effect...

yeh im not going to go into too much graphical detail yet until i try it in the car... but is um... 4:44 am here.. so that can wait till the morning.. or afternoon... i've worked out i can possible enlarge the buttons and it will all fit.. as i have a spare one (7 out of 8 being used at the moment)...

the bottom row of buttons are static.. the second row of buttons will change depending what screen is chose using the bottom row.

audio buttons will be available on every screen..

very cool idea, i love sony phones.

updated first post

coming along very nicely.
Think there needs to be darker lines for the buttons.
The changes your making are nice, i like the reflection under RoadRunner, and it actually feels like the walkman logo is ment to go with the road runner text.
Makes me want to give a stab at redisign of the rr logo.

heh yeh no offence to guino as roadrunner is awesome software.. but that logo is a lil oldschool.

in that screen shot its in the same font as Sony Ericssons logo so it suits the theme pretty well.

is it still being worked on?

yep still working on it slowly.. had a long weekend here and spent it at the beach so not much has been done of late..

completed:
audio player
audio browser
mixer
shutdown menu


50% completed:
video
phone - not sure if ill do phoco or rrmobile plugin - looking like rrmobile plugin, but maybe both as its pretty easy.. will just make two .skin files.
gps - not sure if ill do mapmonkey or freedrive.. maybe freedrive as it seems to be developed more than mapmonkey

still to start:
web browser
osk
numosk
radio - dont have radio in the car at the moment so it will prob be last done.

have been driving around with the skin installed a lot lately (just did 500kms this weekend) and have found it to be easy to use - no dramas with the smallish buttons at all. still want to redesign some of the images on the bottom row of buttons too.
