Description

I've been awfully quiet lately, that is because I quit theming my iPod Touch. Before ssh'ing to grab the screenshots and fix a minor coding error in my theme I hadn't touched WinSCP in a month and a half.

I dunno what happened, I guess I just lost 'that spark'. So this is it, this is my last screenshot. My iPod Touch will probably stay like this for some time except maybe to change the wallpaper. Although unlikely since it's a huge pain right now because the most recent version of Winterboard (v 0.9.3211-1) doesn't play friendly with BossPaper (v 1.1.4-2) and by that I mean the Wallpaper covers the Widget.html of my Winterboard theme even with the toggle 'Under Winterboard' checked. It may even go unfixed because a bit of google'ing has resulted in only 2 other people having the same problem as me, with the only fix to downgrade to the previous Winterboard.

Yes that Widget is everywhere, but I don't care, it is my layout anyways. As seen from the screenshot on the right which is the one that inspired the likes of Zooropalg and others to play around with the transparency of text and overlaying it. Note the date on it, just to show that it is the real thing instead of just the same old screenshot.

To be honest I'm surprised I lasted so long with theming. I mean, it's not like I look at my Springboard all that often since I mainly just have the music app running. Maybe if I had an iPhone I'd care more, but that's unlikely because
1. I freaking hate using iTunes on Windows 7.
2. I'd have to use iOS 4, which to be honest isn't all that great, I mean partial multitasking? iAds? Give me a break.
3. The antenna problem which results in the phone dropping calls and losing reception when held a particular way. I could always buy a case or just hold it differently, but 30 dollars for a piece of rubber that goes around the phone? And I'm left handed.

However, I would totally be interested in theming an Android phone. The HTC Legend is so gorgeous.

The clock images in the middle are from an Android Widget made by Ryan Olson, it's called RhinoHero. You can follow him on twitter here
The walls on the left and middle are taken by John Carey. To me his photographs are incredible and look great as wallpapers. This is his website and Flickr

I didn't release anything because none of it is really mine to be giving away. And the Widget? As you may have noticed from my previous screenshots that I like using custom fonts. But I don't use fontswap, why would I want to replace Helvetica with a new font, and only one at that, when I could just follow a guide to adding new fonts at Gaurav Girl's Blog? Back to the point, most people have enough difficulties just installing themes, I don't need to make people's lives more complicated by including a custom "GFontCache.plist" and the extra fonts. It may result in them having to restore their device.

I guess that's it. Until next time.
