Preview of our new Maemo theme
Ian and I have been working on a new release of our LCARS packages, featuring a number of bug fixes as well as a new theme called “Okuda”:
If all goes well, we should be ready to release this within the next 48 hours. All four of our themes now include icon templates, which we’re slicing with hildon-theme-slicer (the same way that the main theme template is processed). This is what the icon template for the Okuda theme looks like:
Anyone else wishing to create a hildon-theme-tools (and ThemeMaker) compatible layout definition might find this Python script helpful:
#!/usr/bin/python2.5 """Generate a hildon-theme-tools layout from variously sized images. Edit script to specify desired margin, width, and origin (dx,dy). usage: hildon-theme-layout-grid-generator.py `find icons|sort|grep png` """ __author__ = "Leif Ryge <leif @synthesize.us>" __license__ = "no rights reserved / public domain" from sys import argv from PIL import Image margin, width, dx,dy = 10, 600, 0,0 # margin, output width, starting coords sizes = {} for f in argv[1:]: sizes.setdefault(Image.open(f).size,[]).append(f) print "[Main]\nTemplateWidth=%s\nTemplateHeight=%s\n\n[Elements]" % (width, \ sum((h+margin)*(len(sizes[w,h])/(width/(w+margin))+1) for w,h in sizes) ) for w,h in sorted(sizes): column = width / (w+margin) row = 1 + len(sizes[w,h]) / column print "# %s images are %sx%s (%sx%s grid)" % (len(sizes[w,h]),w,h,column,row) for i, f in enumerate(sizes[w,h]): print "%s=%s,%s,%s,%s" % (f, dx+(i%column)*(w+margin), dy+(i/column)*(h+margin),w,h) dy = dy+row*(h+margin)
The actual template can then be created from existing images using Nokia’s hildon-theme-regenerator tool.
