Theme Rant! short and sweet...

Transparent/Opaque icons on a specific wallpaper/background does not qualify as a theme!

They look cheesy and poorly thrown together and frankly it's humiliating and I feel sorry for anyone who has the above described "theme".

Get creative people, sheesh.

(If you're not sure what I mean, well thats too bad. I would post examples but that would be a **** move on my part.)

If you contribute a few "themes" and post them up here, then I'll maybe take you seriously. Until then, just stop ******** before you look more like a dumb ***.

Haha. Maybe I should've noted that this post wasn't intended for the faint of heart. I actually had my own design company and have done work for several bands. But, that is besides the point...

The point is: Anyone who knows anything about design and aesthetics knows that these so called "themes" are a few too many miles far from being well created.

Haha you're right. I don't contribute that much, partly because...I HAVE A LIFE.

It's called working 9-5, 5 days a week. So you my friend are the one who needs a life. Get a job ya bum. Wait, you probably aren't even of age to get a job. Well....****.

I work 10 hrs a day..6-7 days a week.. And I STILL find time to do a little here and there. I understand your arguement.. But usually only the ignorant and untalented have the nerves to actually say something.,, and in a forum? C'mon.
The goal of all this is to network and help the less talented. Give them praise and they will gain the confidence to get better. Give them guides and they will take the time to learn.. If you noticed and actually read around.. everybody is on here asking/learning/and trying to create things.
If you were really that good.. you might take 2 mins and help someone instead of posting this which just makes me think your really not that great.
Actually..............

So lets see the totally awesome custom theme you must be running.



You know, so we know what a "real" theme looks like.

If you have enough time to whine, you have enough time to impress us with your amazing design skillz.

Put up or shut up.

Love it or leave it.

If only one person downloads and uses one of your so-called "cheesy" themes, then the effort was worth it. This is a forum for iPhone users and all their different situations and needs; it's not here solely for your satisfaction. So get off your high horse before you get a nosebleed and upload one of your obviously legendary themes to show us what a design god you are...

All of this makes me giggle. Unless someone contradicts my first statement then none of your comments are valid. Rebuttle people, rebuttle.

I can't believe you're that much of a tool. I mean, Christ!

Listen Rembrandt, people contribute to their level of capability or desire. You don't like it, then don't install it.

Pretty simple really.

Go attention-whore somewhere else.

Alright...

Transparent/Opaque icons on a specific wallpaper/background qualifies as a theme!

And what the hell is a rebuttle? Is it when you buttle something again?

First of all. You dont even know the meaning of opaque do you? Im gonna help you out before I move on with this..
–adjective
1. not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through

That means... You can't see through it. Opacity is the level off of 100% that it goes "transparent".
So you might wanna take the "Opaque" Part off. Regaurdless of what you "rebuttle" with, And try to compensate for.. What you were thinking when you wrote that has nothing to do with the definition "MR. Graphic Designer"


Next off... ooOOOooo This theme I did 2 months ago has "transparent" icons.. and a wallpaper.. Does that make it not a theme?
Click the image to open in full size.

Stop already. Transparent Icons and a Wallpaper Does equal a homescreen theme.
