[Theme] Glass Build 2.1.3 > Update 4/1/09 ...
Hi Guys !!!
Very excited to create my own theme for iPhone 3G...
Let's get Started ![]()
Every time when I change an icon appearance from an original one, I would somehow stop associating with that app ,because my mind tells me - that's not any more what I installed being it doesn't look the same ,further more all those themes which already exist do look great and charming ,but in my opinion are not practical in long term ,so -
My idea is to leave all original icons (if they look good), only retouching them with my new design !!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This theme was inspired by "Flat" theme for iPhone...
Look through pages as U will find lots of icons!
I've included easy to use psd template.
Most off icons I pull off iTunes and place them into .psd file (You will find how to do that here too)
Since the main accent is on icons ,You can use any wallpaper ,dock or status bar you like ,glassy effect will look great with any content (try for instance animated wallpaper like falling leaves found in cydia ,U'll love to see them falling through Glass)
Enjoy and share your work !!!
Here is an original size

As I mentioned in the flat thread I think this is a great idea. I think you are touching on how to make this even better with the weather and mail icon. You should look into diecutting out the icons that fit under the glass. For example get rid of the blue around the click wheel or the gray around the camera. Just have the images without the backgrounds underneath the glass.
Some other suggestions I would make is the background is a little to distracting for me with the detail it has, also I feel like the apple you have is much to large.
I really like this look, as I have been using flat forever now and I feel like this could be a step up. Really looking forward to a release.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions ,
I myself was astonished how cool looks weather icon ,the thing is I'm not a designer,
I only know my way around photoshop ,so if I see nice graphics I play around till get results ,
when the icon is done it's hard sometimes to extract part of an image preserving pixels correctly !!!
As for the other requests ,when I have time ,but first I want to add some more icons to this theme and again when I have time ![]()

Re: [Theme] Glass Build 2.1.3 > Update 4/1/09 ...
Excellente!!!
Can I trouble someone to open up the first .psd that is 75X75 and save it as a transparent .png for me "Please" because my graphic app will not open up .psd's
I will pitch in and make a few when someone gives me a transparent .png since as you can see I had to butcher the gloss on the ones she posted so the shine does not line up w/ the edges. Thank you!

Thanks a lot Garney for helping here !!!
If I may suggest you to not use ready highlighted icons with a 100x100 px,but instead 512x512 raw one's ...
When U highlight them again it won't look good,
I also see that images are not correctly places into psd file!
Feel free to ask me your questions ![]()
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And now here some shockingly gorgeous transparent icons (only after placed on iPhone) thanks to TollBoy's advice ![]()

And others to come

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also updated psd file with some tuning...

I'll try to explain, though U have to have some knowledge how work with layers and selection tool !
The layer You going to work with is called "Core" which U will have to disable before saving png file ...
Now holding down command key (on mac) click on Layer mask thumbnail ,U shell see inner part of psd file selected after U clicked !!!
Open your image and copy it , go into psd and with that inner part selected use "paste into" command from "edit " menu ...
New layer will be created right on top of "Core" layer...
Play around to your taste and I hope U gonna get somewhere ![]()
U could use "wall" layer to see how it will look on iPhone (and disable after) !!!

Re: [Theme] Glass Build 2.1.3 > Update 4/1/09 ...
That was fast and they do look correct,
other thing is psd is hi-res good looking icon ,so graphics inside should also be high quality,
that's like buying a new house and bringing an old furniture inside
And again thanks a lot for help !!!
I think this theme could grow a lot if we get help !!!

Please try to place icons into less # of posts making it niter and easier to navigate !!!
Icon like eBay is not so great ,so me personally would not bother using it ![]()
Places like http://www.customxp.net/PngFactory/les-icones-png.html
have tons of nice one's !!!
Sweet dreams ![]()
