[5G/?] Colourize 2.0 - New firmware only

[bubbleflubber]

Ok, I've rewritten my Colourize Theme for version 2.0. This theme is now ONLY for the newest firmware update, firmware 1.1 (supplied by iPod Updater 2006-01-10). For those of you having problems with the newer firmware (see my thread here: http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=6294), no worries because this "should" work with the newer firmware coming out (hopefully) very soon.

I posted a version of this earlier, but since I edited my original post instead of adding new stuff, it never "bumped" so people could see the new stuff. A lot of this is a repeat, but here's what's new in the release. Again, many thanks to those that contributed to the ideas of this theme (most of which have been enhanced).


CHANGELOG:

More enhanced clock visuals. Fixed an issue with the clock, where now icons should update immediately, instead of having to wait a minute for the minutehand, and an hour for the hour hand. Recolored so that the center dot is "BRIGHT" from 6 AM to 6 PM, and "DARK" from 6 PM to 6 AM. Also, the "hands" are matching coloured during the day, and since the firmware only shows monochrome at night (6 PM to 6 AM), the hands now have a "swirl" effect during that time period. I refaced the clock for darker PM settings. (We often wonder why there seems to be "duplicate" icon sets; this is why the clock has SO many duplicate/inverse icons... one set is for 6 AM to 6 PM, and the other vice-versa.)

Made a lot of the "now playing" icons (for audio, video, and playlists) "Silverized" instead of coloured, since the display for these will only show monochrome.

For those of you with the Radio accessory, I've redone/colourized a lot of those icons as well.

V-Card examples/samples now have a smiley instead of the dull shadow of a person standing there. The icon itself is yellow, but shows up as monochrome on the iPod. (The firmware only allows for monochrome colors on certain screens). I've kept it yellow, due to the fact that the iPod "monochromes" it much better than any photo editing program I've tried (and I use several high-end ones).

The Parachute Game has parachutists and the tank enhanced... Tank is highly enhanced, and the parachutists should now be animated as they freefall without the chute open.

(Other changes from first release...)

-Clocks are colourized (all parts)
-Icons for repeat, shuffle, etc now fit the colour theme for audio screen
-Timer/Sleep Timer is colourized
-Records in place of Combination Lock on Lock Screen, and are animated with a record needle arm that blinks
-Texturized Screen Lock and Stopwatch Backgrounds
-Fixed pixelating issue on the Title Bar with Play/Pause/FF/Rew Icons
-Fixed gradient issues in Battery Charging status
-Enhanced Mario battery Charging "Sleep" mode
-Video Progress Bar now Outline Format instead of drab icon, and has been colourized, along with the vid progress/volume bar to match one another.... (shows up way better than factory firmware version)
-Sharpened the title bar to show the bricks better
-Brightened and Saturated many icons to make theme more vibrant
-Fixed Do Not Connect icon so that it is more saturated, and doesn't have "square" effect... much better fadeout effect
-Other "tiny" things....

Hope you like it. And if you don't, I'm sorry. I'm obviously going for the sport of really using the iPod's color display, instead of keeping everything one particular genre.

From the zip, it looks cool. Got pics? i don't wanna reupdate my iPod with the firmware. It gets annoying after a while.
