I’ve put updates on hold for right now, I’ve been contracted out to do some work for Bully Dog Technologies and LongTravel Magazine. A lot of you who are into racing will want to check out the work when it’s done. I’ll be sure to post it.

After that, I’ll be uploading all my themes to mobihand first for sale so every can buy them, especially all you pipboy fans although please note it’ll be renamed to retroboy to avoid any issues.

    HOLY CRAP that stuff is CRAP. Looks like someone took some decent Squindo art and puked it onto a phone in about 1/2 hour. Sorry man, looked at some of your other stuff, and it looks ok, but this is JUNK. Were they hard-nosed about what they wanted, or did you just totally half-ass it?

    Neither actually. Judging by the download numbers and rating you’re probably the only one that thinks this way. However I only can use the art I was given which was high res (really big) and so there will always be a bit of a quality loss when going from the size they were to how small they need to be.

    Overall though I think they can out pretty good actually.

    I’m not saying the art looks bad – it’s good art, and the resolution is fine (although it’s not hard at ALL to scale large vector or bitmap graphics, you just have to do it right). I’m saying that just tossing graphics onto the interface with not a thought about converting the artwork to touch-friendly icons or how they would look when layered over each other smacks of lazy template-dropping. The design is busy and lacking direction, rather than clean and professional. Sorry man, not trying to be a troll, just telling it like it is. And BTW, downloads don’t always equal approval. There are a lot of Bully Dog fans out there who will download it for the simple fact that it’s Bully Dog related. It falls on people with design sense to give them something worth KEEPING on their phone, rather than the typical download, try out, hate, DELETE cycle.

    No I completely agree with you and appreciate the comments. I actually take into consideration how everything looks when on top of each other and overall look/feel. I don’t just drop a bunch of stuff into a theme and release it. Some people do, I don’t. You’re not being a troll at all. The problem with themes is that you can’t please everyone so while one person may love it, another may hate it (or whatever the case may be).

    I also take suggestions seriously as well so if there is something you’d like to see changed I’ll be more then happy to look into it. Both themes will be updated once a month at least so changes and suggestions are always welcome.
