Wink I present myself with the Cebo dark Theme

I am developing the best dark theme for Amiga...I hope...

But I need help to test it, translate some parts and improve some graphics before uploading it to Aminet.

I'm not an expert graphic artist, a hand is always good.

It is 90% complete and I think it will be ready for Christmas.

Anyone who wants to help, contact me.

Suggestions are welcome, or criticism too.

I give you some screenshots that show the various configs such as the MUI or the VPrefs so you can get a very clear idea.

What do you think of this environment?

I forgot...It is an environment designed for RTG.

looks very nice, shame there isnt a different colored version of Ken's Icons which would suit that setup, so instead of mostly blue tint icons you had black tint.

It could create PNG Black Icons similar to those of OS 3.2, I don't know if it is then legal to distribute them, I tried to create a few 'personal' ones for my 3.2 system.

wow!!!
I need those icons, as I said I'm not a graphic artist.
A full 3.2.x package wouldn't be bad.
Technically there are no copyright problems since there are no black or dark icons in Amiga, I say from OS 3.2.x.
There are several graphics that I have to improve and optimize, for example the requesters' logos. Right now they look a lot like a distro that I won't say.
That's why I asked for help here.
I say that my Dark Theme would look great on your Aros ONE.

well if you do manage to complete your theme i assume you are going to add it to Walkero's https://amiga-look.org/ site?, it has a section for OS3.x

nice, theres very few "all rounder" themes going around, at least most i find need some reworking to make them useable as theres typically "something" that needs tweaking.

That's why I'm taking a while to finish it for Christmas, but I need user testing and polishing some/several things.
I like things well made and that work. And in this theme there are many settings to control very well.

On AROS One there are already black icons (they have been in the works for some time, on AROS One there are hundreds of icons, between drawers and apps)

Anyway, I'm no graphic designer either, I create my icons by hand with great effort my 69 years and my eyes starting to give me problems. !

Nice theme, but I have a question. What are those buttons in the drawer windows?
The +, -, or, aj, ct.

I can't get Aros One to work in Virtualbox:
Amistart error, crashes on shell and stop.
I'll take a screenshot for you...
I assume you use a system like AfaOS for environment right?
I like your icons, a lot.
PSSS sono 1 vecchietto anche io hehehe

Taken from dark theme guide...


The letters that appear in each window.
------------------------
| + | - | or | aj | ct |
------------------------
Have their meaning and their usefulness.
| + | This button shows all files
| - | This button shows only icons
| or | This button cleanup by type
| aj | This button resize to fit
| ct | This button snapshot all
Comfortable right? This magic is done by PowerWB.
These letters are for the Spanish language:
OR - Organizar AJ - Ajustar CT - Congelar Todo.
Change the letters according to your language in PowerWBPrefs, and then save your prefs.

No, I meant that I use VP+Birdie, and you use something similar to AfaOS, correct?
I have never used Aros, although I know about the arrow.

Yes AROS One is inspired by my AfA One

Strange that you have problems with VirtualBox, maybe you have some corruption or installed incorrectly, I recommend using VMware, very easy to configure, follow my video guides.


Possibly for a better understanding we can talk to each other on the Italian sites.

On AfA One VP+Birdie are not necessary, AfA OS includes a native Application that manages themes, which is far superior to VP+Birdie.

AROS One also uses a similar Application but the Themes are similar but not compatible with each other.

Thanks, I was hoping it was a different program. I've tried PowerWB before but there was something about it which I didn't really liked. Don't remember what it was though. Maybe I'll try it again.

better install my theme when ready hehehe
I think I know that you didn't like it, the icons that PowerWB put in the windows were very ugly.

I also had problems with PowerWB (On AfA OS gadgets apparently do not work), I only use it on AfA One to move windows off the screen.

Yes I know both PowerWB and PowerWindows, actually moving windows off-screen is done by PowerWindows!
