xdadevs yellow is ugly - Off-topic

by far this is the ugliest forum i've ever used in my life. the yellow is dull and brown is just... brown. how come there are no other themes to choose from? is that a part of the whole phone geek persona... a dull looking forum? i mean, come on, even hofo is blue and vibrant. hey admin, can we get some color over here!
xda-devs = the seattle of forums

Excellent point! I'm not sure what they were thinking to use yellow & brown. I vote to change these to something more vibrant and cool!

light blue color would be better.
(remember microsoft did quite a good research before adopting the color in winxp)
and yes, yellow is just too much here.
can we have other colors please

haha i think xda now is good colours already no need to change

Keep the colours
Just because everyone else seems to use bright colours on their forums is not a reason to do the same here. I like the look of this site.

The Colors here are just fine. No need to change anything there.

leave it like it is

yellow and brown makes you think of cake???
it makes me think of poo and pee... xdadevs is a great forum but its the dirty toilet bowl of the web. lets clean it up.

yra colors blow.. green theme would be nice.. neowin.net has some cool colors to choose from

I would say stick to the current layout. First it separates itself by using this color. There are no issues reading the threads and posts. Unlike some cool black forums with gray fonts.
If the XDA community forum should be changed I think it would be best to start cleaned the threads and crank up the quality of the forum like it was over a year ago

I never gave it much thought. But now that you ask, Mmm, Ahh, Keep it the way it is.

Ah, come on mike. We all know Freud was full of...well...the picture you posted.

Color and design is not as important as content and easy load site.
If we want a nice flashy site it would be very slow...
leave it as it is now, it works great!!

Although I'm not very fond of yellow/brown, it's quite unike to xda, and therefor we should keep it. It works fine with text as well.
What would be great though, is to restructure the forum. Rethink what we need, and fit the page according to those needs.
There should be a difference between commenting and replying a post.
Relevance is the key to this jungle.

I like these colors http://blownfuze.org/
By the way ,if you have a fuze, this a very informative site brought to you in a very entertaining way.

Had too didn't ya
With re: Post i have to agree with orb3000 the forum isn't about looks it's about information and boi it holds alot of that....
Could be black with white text hay Denko7 it'd look just like the eye bogling blinding link you provided

I think the forum is a*s ugly. The colors are horrid. BUT it does have a clear contrast that you can tell what is what by first looks. I especially hate forums that are dark with bright fonts, and I feel that the theme on this site serves its purpose, as long as you dont eat right before browsing.
I say to keep the colors as they are, because it works, its easy to read, just a bit ugly. And that I can live with.

One of my first thoughts on my original arrival is this place is freaking ugly. Yet, the info I needed and wanted was here and it has grown on me. I love me some xda.

i agree too

Nearly All Completely Black!

I was looking through XDA site and it just dawned on me how black all the smartphones are! Isn't there any other colours suitable for smartphones or is it plain lack of creativity from the part of the phone companies? Or do they think all the smartphone users are boring geeks? I am tired of looking throught a list of black phones! I like the colours on Sony equipment.
I don't want boring white Magnolia (iphone?) either.
I'm bored!
Completely agree!
We should at least have the option of what color we want like when buying a car
We are paying a lot of $ for a new devices and agree, black is ok but we should have options!
I personally prefer my device being black, looks more professional and normal.
How's this for an option?

Ferrari red but with subtlety?
My neighbours' Audi colour? It is kind of ice or iron?
Or some of the Sony colours?
Or, maybe if I am really, really bored something this colour!
I probably would not lose it or people would always see it!
I'm kinda into Sky Blue...if u know what I mean
personally i prefer black as it looks elegant and professional.......
but you can have decent options like white,metallic silver etc
which do not look too childish or stupid
Why is black always considered "professional" or "elegant" ?
Is it because it reminds people of a suit? Or because your bum does not look big in it?
Or is it because it can hide a lot of flaws?
A design needs to be very good to look sleek in colour but a sameish weak design in black can get a thumbs up! Why is that? Lazy design?
Let's go colour the world! Let's put smiles on faces!

[PREV]HTC Phone Concept by ElCondorDesigns

There have been some "leaks", images made by people, leaked as if they were renders from HTC.
Most of them are not realistic at all. In reply to this, I have made a phone concept which could be the true HTC Mondrian.
Unlike my HTC Trophy concept, which someone leaked (not me), this one is made completely from scratch, inspired by HTC's phone design.
Press image for larger view​
It's not really a theme, but I think it fits in this forum because this forum is all about design.
Hope you like it!
and yet it looks better than the mondrian already!
Thanks, but how do you know that? Have you seen the mondrian?

My HTC Mondrian Concepts
Great design ElCondor, yesterday i've made this 3 concepts inspired in the HTC Indredible (and a little bit of the HD2) but with some minor changes and simple lines.
I hope you like it, cheers.

thanks for share this with forum..
Thanks for the replies guys. I like your concept hubie, but I think it's not fully HTC's design.. The Evo is already outstanding design from HTC, but seeing the Wildfire, I think it will not be the direction.

Hey guys,
Awesome designs i love em
Would it be possible for you to send me the psd files coz i wanna be a designer and learn how to like make concepts of phones myself
Thanks
I followed this tutorial to create my concept, EC's is a bit more complicated and harder to create.
My PSD is too big and too complicated I think, I'm sorry.
Thats absolutely gorgeous, [El]. Perfect balance of minimalist simplicity so you'll always focus on the screen, but enough texture and shape to be interesting and beautiful in its own right.
I just hope its not going to boring when they do make it now you've gotten our appetites whetted!

Too big ? you could resize it for a sharing solution.
Too complicated ? what you mean by that as any designer keep clean layers in clean groups inside bigger groups with vectors, masks, backgrounds and texts all separated with their own colored layer and style...
If you really wanted to share your work, you could.
I don't really understand your point of that post, it's completely irrelevant. If you want to show your work, please make your own thread.

HTC HD Pro Concept by Jukah

Soooooooooooooo Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, hope it'll became true
Now that is SEXY! Makes my HD2 look down right boring, love the lines which flow so perfectly down..............oops I forgot I was describing a phone, you definitely made a stunning concept! Well done.................................cheers.
Thanks! I might make another concept for a 3.7" device depending on the reception of this one.

Respect! Your Photoshop skills are amazing, far beyond my possibilities.
Edit: I truly didn't see your last post, so do not think I said that with sympathy. My render also didn't get much attention, so don't be dissapointed.
Edit 2: Being featured on the XDA portal soon.

Not only is this beautiful and elegant -- but the reason I am QUOTING is because I *did* go visit your page to read about your thoughts as well as see the comments written THERE too.
This comment both cracked me up and was sheer brilliance... But if you don't know the reference it would fly right over a person's head and be totally wasted. SO, just to help make the point really CLEAR, i will translate it afterwards. The comment itself is EPIC:
Jukah I feel like Bugsy at the opening of the Flamingo.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To really appreciate what the commenter is saying here, you have to know this is Bugsy Malone he is referring to -- a gangster in the USA, who saw an empty place in the desert land in Nevada (a state in the USA not too far from California) and envisioned on this empty barren land, with no highways around, no cities around, no nothing -- he envisioned a city in the middle of this desert -- which would be a place where military people and others could come to get inexpensive enterainment....
Everyone thought he was NUTS! Who the hell wants to come to this sh*thole in the desert, Bugsy? he said "you'll see after I've built my first casino here"... and he drew up plans with architects for "The Flamingo" -- an iconic marker now for the original LAS VEGAS, the city, the gambling, the culture, the entire state of mind that he created --- casting his gaze out across the barren landscape of the desert.
The photo above is from when the Flamingo first opened... proving all the doubters wrong.
And now, just for further context... A reminder that once things are indeed built, bigger is not always better, iPadius Jobius.
Las Vegas strip, today.
Awesome design!Realy like it.I'm not a fan of the fisical keyboard but device looking like this I'd gladly use

Calling All XDA DeviantART Users - Get Android Some Love!

Go take a look over at DA, under the categories. You won't find a single category for our dear little Andy. Nope, nada, not even a wallpaper section. Of course iPhone/iPod has had its own section, which you have to expect.
But just take a look here at XDA, and you will see a wealth of talented individuals making amazing designs for our little devices. So why no love for Android? Its not like it hasn't been suggested. I first put in the suggestion back last August, and again a few days ago.
There has even been others suggesting Android at least get a section in the wallpaper category. And i think this would at least be a good starting point. But with the wealth of customization options for Android, DA seems like the perfect place to post all your wallpapers, icons, docks, and themes. There needs to be a whole new slew of Android based categories on DA.
So head on over to the link below; it will take you to Moonbeam's forum for posting new category suggestions. If anything at least post a +1 to the comment I love (I'm 'hornsholdmyhalo'). Or post your own comment about what should be added, and why it should. Lets flood her with the Android love
TL;DR - No Android categories at DeviantART, Go to link, post there should be.

Hello fellow Texan, born and raised in Gladewater, 28 miles north of tyler. Straight up 271.
I'll go by DA and make my mark.
Nice to see another one! This makes about a total of..I'd say around 4 haha.
Thanks.
I'm down. I'll upload some a wallpaper I made after school. It's effing blocked here.
I stumbled upon DA a while back looking for Gingerbread Icons (or the ability to make them) and I very much liked what I saw, but I couldn't help but notice there was basically ZERO Android-based artwork ... and of course, no GB icons !!!
There are very talented individuals @ Deviant Art and I couldn't believe there was NO Android material !
Wel, maybe there are no specific categories for Android, but defintely there is some Android-artwork over there...

For our community to grow even more artists here on XDA should share their work on DeviantART. It'd be great.
Agreed, it would be great for them to go all out and give us all the categories we need!!
I just wonder what she is gonna say when she sees the sheer amount of support for android
Shes gonna throw out her Ipod/iphone and run to the [insert carrier name here] store screaming "forgive me for I have been so blind!!" lmao sorry went off a bit. Oh yeah anyone familiar with da, user otisbee is way on the android wagon and he is pretty prominent over there
Just posted the request. The whole Customization category is a wreck over there.... needs cleaned up and brought up to date badly.
We got 10 so far! Come on guys keep it coming!!

The reason why they are not thumbnailed or linked is because the details are quite fine and walls are not that big that they will over stretch screens, unless someone is still using 800x600. LOL.
I will be adding some more. Just haven't thought of a clean way of putting it all out there yet. Maybe I should just throw it all in an APK, or keep zipping it up in the OP.
Created by me but idea was pongster's. Comes in a few shades to suit everyone's liking. It has no name, but the idea was diagonal lines, minimal, blurred and smoked. If any of you are interested in having these in a special tint with something written, I can customize it for you. Just ask and be kind enough to thank me! A little goes a long way like someone said.

Hi,
I was wondering if you can make me a wallpaper with the text "DJ Emzine". For the background, color, font, it can be anything.
Thanks again
One thing I never see is any XDA HTC EVO WALLPAPERS.....it that could be done atall would be great.....any color or design....thanks alot bro....great work
I was wondering if you could create one with the text Lasttruwarrior If you are willing, you can design it however you want using any colors you want. You are the artist, have it your way.
A dark background with light color KOPO would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Could you create a wallpaper where you mixed leedroids logo together with a thunderbolt through a phone (you know what the thunder is for, right ). The background could be anything as long as it is dark colors (not pink, white etc).
Oh yeah, the phone I want this wallpaper for is a Htc desire HD.

Not sure if you wanted "XDA" in it too. You might experience color banding since the EVO supports 65K. I will try work on something(resolution/color/pixel type/color depth etc...). Check back soon.
Was wondering if you could do me one that says "Xperia Play" on there, any sort of style really, it's completely up to you
Thanks man
