When & where will this be released?

[justflikwalk]

I will release a beta soon. I don't want to give any dates just yet only because I think that is lame when a date is given and not met. I need to refine the widget a bit and make at least the core app icons before I release the beta.

Sorry to answer the second part of the question it will be released here.

flik,
just a few thoughts. Its a great theme. Excellent job.

Ok first... on the flip clock. The AM background should be white, the PM background should be black. Its amazing how many people making these flip clocks overlook that small detail, but it was a big feature of the clocks back in the 70's and even the 80's. White background told you it was during the AM and the black the PM.

Second. It'd be nice to see this actually working on the lock screen.

Third, and i'm betting this is harder to do, animate it. That's what's really got folks in a tizzy over it. When they see the rotation, it looks killer.

4th. There's another one posted here, I can't remember it but its probably here on the first page. Anyways, that clock has a sort of 3d look to it. And by 3d I mean that the bezel around it looked to have some depth. EDIT. screw the bezel. From your screen shot it looks perfect, at least to me. No bezel. just kind of free floating like you've got it is awesome.

5th. If you can tie in an alarm to it, you could put an LED light where the : is between the hours:minutes. Green for on, red for off. It brings just a bit of color. don't make them both, top and bottom, just say.. the bottom.

Other than that, great job. I look forward to downloading this. If its worthy it'll be one of the only winterboard related items I'm running right now. Currently I'm on a stock theme, but I'd love to have the flip clock on my screen.

Thanks for the response, I really like the feedback I have been getting.
As far as the widgets there is not much I can do to change it. I really don't know much about HTML/JavaScript which the widget is using. I have been looking for awhile for a flip clock widget that would work the way I want it too. The widget i'm using does use the : it alternates top and bottom. It is still in the widget I made it transparent. I agree on the AM PM difference, I just don't know how to code it right to get it to load the images for AM/PM. I am also waiting to here back from the person who created the widget I'm using to get permission to post it.
I have learn a lot on ho to edit

I'll say this. Flip clocks are big now. Just look at that HTC Hero. I've been saying on another forum that if Apple doesn't get its collective stuff together I forsee a lot of iphone users dumping the iphone for the Hero. I mean wow, HTC did a knock out job of design on it. Being able to customize and change widgets at will, something apple seems vehemently opposed to. Such a shame.

I know that if Apple doesn't match the Hero by the time it comes to TMo this fall I'll dump my 3g for it. I would love to have the ability to swap out 16gb mini SD cards. Unlimited memory limited only by how many of those cards I can buy.

Maybe you two guys should do a collaborative theme, both of you being co-authors and bring it to the table. No sense "re-inventing the wheel", so to speak. =D

Heres another question, would it be possible to make the page indicator work like in the Hero? (in an arch motion)

[bishopazrael]

I'd second Meta's call to co-author it. It would certainly speed up the process considerably. Also, in this world of ours, it never hurts to cull some good will by sharing the credit. On another site I visit, someone used someone else's work and said that they were but didn't really make any effort to give true credit and it backfired horribly.

See.... HTC's been doing this work for at least a year. It makes you wonder why Apple of all people can't bring a bit more flash to the iphone. But we all know that Apple is very reticent when it comes to admitting they aren't just the best at whatever field they're in. We all know that what they do is take someone else's idea and just execute it better than anyone else. I've been seeing other people like me wishing Apple would do a drastic redo of the iphone OS, but we all know they won't. I'm already making plans to dump mine when the Hero comes out.

[justflikwalk]

I don't think there is a way to make the page indicators work that way. It is only to images (on and off). Also the way I have it set up with page overlays on top of the wallpaper, soon as you scroll to the second page they disappear to the background. I think the only way this (if it is possible) would be done is for some one to develop or modify the springboard app.

Looks awesome!

anxiously awaiting this release! =)

Is this theme still in production? I'd like to help contribute...

[justflikwalk]

Yes it is still in production. I should be releasing the beta in the next day or so. I have been busy lately.
As of right now I have 6 icons done ( not including docked icons.) I also have made a dialer, it is about 75% done. I am going to finish that up just so I have at least one app themed.
As far as contributions to the theme I am all for it. As long as it is kept in this thread. I have no problem with anyone making mods to the original theme. I think that would be great and it hopefully will inspire everyone to come up with new creative ideas.

I have extracted the icons from the Hero ROM, so if you need them just let me know.

[metaserph]

Post them Momo, the more the merrier in creating more icons. The more interesting GUIs that come out present challenges, it's encouraging the iPhone provides a platform that can pretty much emulate anything out there. This will be an intriguing theme to watch how it develops.
