looks good
good job.
more screenshot pls.
Nice job on the theme man. I've been using the Smorg theme for awhile, and now SmorgWhite. I like what you've done with this. Really like the icons also. I'll try to flash this right now and see how I like it. I'll give you some feedback when I'm done.
Alright I downloaded the .zip file for the theme. When I went to flash it for whatever reason it wouldnt' let me. kept giving me a failure notice. I'm not sure why it did that. Deleted the file and tried to download it again. STILL not able to finish the entire flash. HELP!!!

Yeah, I tried to flash this too. I don't think you signed it correctly. During the flash, it aborts saying something about IM apk failure.
Nice looking theme though. I love the icons. Hope you can fix the issue bro
this is my favorite looking theme but i'm getting an error when i try to flash
Verifying update package...
E:Wrong digest:
system/app/ImProvider.apk
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
love the fact that it's very B/W and the new icons are hot. would like to have voice search still but i can deal without it.
would be cool to keep the status bar icons from smorg 1.8 to keep the true B/W feel going.
beautiful theme, thanks for the contribution, hope i can get it on my G1 soon.
Darn! Worked on my phone. I'll check out what's wrong.
Edit: Resigned, and test installed on my own phone. Worked. Please report if it still doesn't work on your device. (Replaced original browser with new browser while I was at it)
/Mats
thanks alot bro. i'm gonna test it now
lol, sorry bro. you fiddle with one thing, seems something else doesn't want to work. and i think your phone runs fine with it because whatever is missing in the update is already on your phone so it doesn't ve any issues. maybe if u do a clean wipe or ext3 wipe and then flash your theme you'll see the error which is:
E: Wrong digest:
system/app/Browser.apk
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted.
I assume it's issues with the icons after you changed them or something because the last issue was IMprovider.apk and now it's Browser.apk
Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it another go.
/Mats
New version up.
This time, I wiped, flashed CyanogenMod 4.0.2, Flashed Melange 0.9.2, pulled out SD card and rebooted. Worked. Keeping my fingers crossed it'll work on Your phone too.
/Mats
hey bro thanks alot for working on this. it works! ...keep up the good work- just a suggestion if you'll take it--- the theme could use a few touch ups where the icons are in the notification bar (they seem to be surrounded a little bit by rough black edges from what i am seeing. thanks.
No need to thank me - I should thank you for volunteering as guinea pig.
If I'm to publish this, (besides just using it on my own phone) I'd better make sure it's at least possible to make it run on someone elses phone
Yeah, I know about those status bar icons.
When I started off with this, I had the intention of making them with a slight bevel around. Didn't turn out all that well, so some are beveled (or surrounded a little bit by rough black edges as you so eloquently put it! ), and some are just with transparent backgrounds. Now that I made app icons, I think I'll try to get the status bar icons to match too.
/Mats
sounds awesome. keep up the great work. you're one of the few guys who bothered to skin the icons and to me that makes a huge difference on how great the g1 can look. i wasn't feeling the smorg icons but i loved the smorg theme, so i tried using the bettercut method but that took forever to appoint random icons, and it also slowed my phone down. you've pretty much done what i wanted for my phone, so thanks bro. i'll be looking forward to your updates if you keep it up.
now it's time for me to sleeeeeeep
yay it works
i feel the same way as opasha. i like the smorg theme but wasn't a fan of the icons and when i tried to change them with better cut but my phone started to get choppy, the icons you created are beautiful.
i did manage to keep voice search/dialer. not sure how exactly, i flashed over smorg without flashing back to the unskinned CM 4.0.2, maybe that had something to do with it. keep up the good work and truly a wonderful theme, thanks for sharing.
Alright so I was able to finally flash this theme. So far so good. I noticed the "bevel" effect on the notification bar, but really not that big of a deal. VERY hard to see unless you're looking for it. LOVE the icons as well. Which theme are those from, or did you do them ALL yourself? either way Imma run this theme for a little while and I'll give you some feedback and suggestions later today. Any ideas on the horizon? One thing I did notice is that the keyboard is different....which makes sense. The transparent one of Smorg is SICK. All the initial checks are good, be back later with a full report
Thank you for helping me - Really appreciate it.
Plans are enhanced browser (no zoom buttons), icons for all default apps (and keep the ones i don't need/want/use in the update), nicer status bar icons.
In fact I am now running a version with new browser and new status bar icons - but I'm reluctant to release it to the World after this mornings (my time) debacle.
If you'd like to be my crash test dummy, you can try 094 here
Thank you!
/Mats
0.9.4 is working perfectly for me. wow, this is everything i want in a theme. thank you so much. can't wait to see what's next
edit: one thing that would be neat is to replace the notification icons to match the rest of the theme

Icon background is my own. very simple with 2 gradients in a rounded rectangle actually.
The actual icons are mostly by a guy/gal by the "name" of chrfb on DeviantArt. A few apps I didn't find anything matching for, so I had to come up with something myself, like Super User.

Hey thanks for the suggestions and link to that wallpaper. I'll definitely include it. I hadn't decided on the color scheme yet. I threw that wallpaper on just to have something to show for the screenshot. I had just wiped,etc. and flashed the latest SenseHero.
I'm still working on the icons. Trying to come up with ideas for the apps I havent completed yet. I already finished Maps and Voice search but I did something wrong and the icons didnt change when I flashed. Maybe I forgot to add the apk's in ._.'
Also, I'll have a look at the hover's your talking about. Thanks.
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE IS THEMEING FOR SENSEHERO! imo its the fastest/smoothest hero rom out there, and the fact that the new update lets us CHOOSE what bfs kernal we want....anyways, i really like the icons, but yeah maybe a darker app menu? are you going to customize the htc.ime at all?

Yes. I do plan on customizing the HTC.ime. I'm thinking either darker keys, transparent background or both. Question though, what do you mean by darker app menu?

As you can see by the picture in the link you posted, for example the Music icon, some pictures I found fit perfectly enough for my tastes that I used it as is. These would be: Music, Browser and Albums in my screenshot. The rest I took a picture and edited it, putting things in and taking things out.
For the Gmail icon I simply took a normal Gmail Icon (the red/white envelope) and a picture of that girl who simply had her arms up in the air. I cut the cropped the arms out and placed them behind the envelope and moved her fingers around to simulate her holding the envelope.
YES! Finally a little big planet theme in progress
Im starting to understand why there are a lot of Hero themes but not a lot of themes for Hero (ROMs). I havent been able to get v1.2 to boot up since release. My screenshot was based on 1.1.1, updating from 1.1.1 to the "Full Build" 1.2 has resulted in nothing but boot loops. I've tried wiping, repairing ext, repartitioning my card from scratch but nothing. I can successfully boot up any other type of ROM except for Hero ROMs. So for now I'm going to make this for CM 4.2.3.1 and then port it to SenseHero once I can figure out how to get it up and running again =(
Updated!!!
Tell me what you think of the tab. I'm not to sure about it myself.
I think a background from the game might be best. Maybe a pictue of the king or queen. Or maybe even a picture of the worlds like when the SackPerson is using the Ps3 controller, (I cant remember what they call that part of the game.)
where can i download this bro??

I will. It was just something I forgot to do before I flashed it. I didn't even notice until I looked at the screenshot. It will definately be fixed before release. Looking into a color scheme now and the remainder of the status bar icons.
Released. Feedback please. =)
Good job on the icons. I like the wallpaper and the pattern lock screen too. Keep up the good work.

Ok, so how did you install it? because i'm not getting a typical zip file. it's reading as a .jar--tried resigning it as a zip and it "E:Can't find update script"
I want this theme, so any help would be most appreciated. thanks!
Hello friends! Thanks for checking out my theme so far.
This is a Themed version of S-Blur 1.071
Few things first:
Thank you Search Button!
Thank you shafty023 for running the farthest with Blur so far, and providing the best Blur ROM in the game.
Also thank you to whomever is involved in the development of this Blur ROM(I dont know all of you, or all of you involved)
All credit for this theme goes to ALL the legit developers here at XDA. Without them none of us n00bs would have such cool things to play with on our G1/MT3g!
Ok, on to the next...
A couple disclaimers:
If you are here, I assume you know how to flash your phone, if not check my first thank you.
This is a FULL ROM!
I do not know how to make a update.zip that includes /data/app_s.
I tried and failed. Any pointers please send them my way.
So in order for this theme to work you must wipe/fix/...
I edited no apks/widgets in this theme, just framework and blurhome.
If you have been here before you will notice things are different, halfway thru my original concept i decided to change things. I'm not sure why I did, but this is more fun anyways.
So without further ado here are some screenshots. I love constructive criticism, so post any thoughts you may have.
As far as the "phone" & "happenings" buttons are concerned, I edited them 5000 different ways, I know they are .9. but I have edited those before without this much frustration. I think(purely speculation) that "blur" purposely "blurs" the buttons...im going to keep messing with them though to fix their somewhat "off" look...

Music and Search widget need some work yet, and the msg widget and happenings widgets need some tweaking also..
I truly love this ROM, or Blur for that matter, and I should probably just go get a Cliq, but I also love my G1 too much. I believe that once all the bugs are worked out of this ROM, it will replace hero, unless of course the 2.0 update hits hero...who knows, just my opinion anyways.
*So please enjoy this Theme, and stay tuned as I will be updating it as I go along. I'm going to be changing the icons and i'm starting to work on the widgets tonight.
I will be hosting this file on my Dropbox, I have downloaded many things from Dropbox on my phone, so it should work just fine from your phone. As far as speed is concerned, it should be just fine. They provide a great service. If someone would like to host it some where else feel free.

ok, glad i answer b4 anyone else flames u.....this is a blur rom[themed already] so its technically 4 blur
bump for massive changes...new route for the theme..thanks.
Can you send me just the update-script from this?
I can probably get it to flash app_s properly
here is the original that came with this rom...and now looking at it, i think i know where i screwed up my own update.zip tests...i was using the script from stericsons empty zip...hmmm...i was using "data/app_s"...but i see in this one its "sd/app_s"...ima try this...
but let me know what you can do and thnx in advance...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1550010/update-script
ya sd/app_s should work
you can also make another folder app_s
and do
copy_dir PACKAGE:app_s SYSTEM:app_s
since its symlinked it should work
(right now im really sleepy....something may be wrong in there
WOW
this theme looks sick cant wait to see it finished

thnx for the response on this, but im not sure wth i am doing wrong...
here is my zip layout:
META-INF
framework/framework-res.apk
app/AlarmClock.apk BlurHome.apk
update script:
copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app
I have signed properly. but it always fails with "error at line 1"
i have renamed the app folder numerous times, and repackaged the app apks so many different ways..
ex: data/app, sd/app_s, app_s/app_s...etc
when i make those changes i change the script accordingly..but it always fails, framework changes work flawlessly..idk...
when i look at the original script, it appears to me that the app_s apks get moved into the system/app folder...but I am still learning these processes..am I reading it wrong?
@g1junky - thanks for the kind words...i have more updates coming..
ex: clock/happenings widget/msg widget/notification bar/icons/music/search...
i just want to get the update.zip working proper b4 i update..so stay tuned...
and thnx in advance to anyone who can help me with this issue..
My boyfriend, who is more in the demographic of most of the people on this forum than I, thinks this theme is awesome.
But more importantly I love it. It matches my text tone.
Good job.

Damn this rom is good.
I really love this rom, I was wandering if there is any blur rom with everything on it etc... Bluetooth, Wifi, Wireless tether? Or if someone could fix it on this rom I did knotice a thread in the Dream development someone found a way to make the wifi work so hopefully future updates will have it if they dont already. Does anyone know of a rom like what I just described?

Hello everyone,
Back in the CM-4.0.2 days, I briefly used the HTC Hero 1.5.0 theme from tehseano.
I have now taken bits and pieces of it, and updated it for CM-4.2.12.2.
Please note that this replaces the classes.dex file in services.jar. This theme may cause problems with any other version of CM, and may not work with any other ROM. If in doubt DO NOT apply the services.jar subtheme.
If you would like the Power Control Widget theme in the screenshots, it is located here.

Thanks to tehseano for the initial theme.
EDIT:
I forgot to make it clear that this theme can only be applied with MetaMorph.apk
Edit: Increased version for 4.2.12.2
In the future, themed music widget, themed calendar widget, and some fixed icons are coming. Please bear with me, it is near the end of the semester, and I am working full time, and going to school full time.
4.2.11.1 has re-vamped dialer icons.
The Power Control widget theme is now included.
Music Widget is now included also.
I have not forgotten about those that want a Dwang's ROM port, I am looking into it.
I am also going to work on a version to be flashed over Stericson's Lock.
Hopefully the next release will also include themed music/calendar/search widgets.
Sorry about the gap in updates... The holidays are a hectic time.
Dang it.
Apparently 4.2.6 made some changes to the Phone.apk images... it will look a little off until I can rework the images. You could just skip that sub-theme until then.
m0zes,
are the highlights green or orange selecting icons or in search and browser?
i love the power widget, hope that you addressed music and search widget accordingly.
My time in the notifications is still black, any suggestions?

It sounds as if you did not apply the services.jar sub-theme. I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but the reason I have to use that piece is because those colors (for date and time) are hardcoded in the classes.dex file. I wish there were a better work around, but this is the best I can do for the moment.

Hilights are supposed to be green with this theme.
I will fix the music widget in my next release, and update a couple of the browser icons. (Browser highlights correctly, but the colors are off on two of the icons)

That is the "Power Control Widget" (Part of Donut, themed with this.)
Sorry I don't have an update for 4.2.7.1 yet, guys. Full time work and School hasn't left me with much time as finals are coming up. I am going to try and have an update this weekend.
I'll also look into posting a theme for Dwang's ROM.
Great work, it makes me love my G1 all the more.
Even with the small issues with clock and dialer, this is a fantastic Morph!
School > Making our G1's pretty. Finals week incoming.
Edit:Failed at reading whole thread first.
4.2.7.1 is posted. I am hard at work attempting to theme the music/search/calendar widgets and fixing a couple of images that aren't of the quality I would like.
I have fixed the dialer bug in this release.
Thanks for the update. I've been patiently waiting on it....
ive never used metamorph before but is it supposed to take forever on "framework"
it was taking to long and it kinda of killed home to the point where I had to unlock my sim card.So i exited out of the program and everything seems to be running fine except all my widgets were not loaded.
should I try again and let it finish?

framework-res should take 30-45 seconds (maybe more with the latest MetaMorph update)
Widgets are notorious for needing to be re-added after theming. You should delete them and re-add them.
I am also replacing a decent number of icons in the Home screen, so Home will generally need to be reloaded afterward.
Not to mention the fact that any changes to framework-res should be followed by a reboot .

yea I ended up doing that
I "morphed" framework and the other last one separate and rebooted.I dont know what it does but everything is working so Im happy.
I was looking for a hero theme for the longest on 4.2.7.1 so thanks
Everything worked out fine with the install. I started to leave my job last night and turned on my bluetooth headset. It would not connect at all. I was thinking to myself, "This guy is taken this hero s*** too far. No working bluetooth!!!" I just rebooted my phone and the bt connected again, LOL! Other then that BT prob, everything is working just fine. Thanks again for your work.

Heheh, maybe I could try that for the next version
I may be able to get it to nuke a driver somewhere...
I have a question, can I delete the files the theme creates?
I have 700 images now on my phone and going into gallery to look at my pics and wallpapers is like going through a jungle.
@m0zes:
You should put a .nomedia file in your morphs, that would solve the issue with the images showing up in the gallery.
You can take the file from other morphs cause it's universal and contains no data.
Its here... this is a hybrid of some new and old, I asked permission from the ppl I sampled from, minus some of the various icons i manipulated from iconspedia.com... but credit goes out to manup456, david1171, opasha, sir*mez and a few others, including XDA in general for hosting a site full of such genius that could teach a newb like me a thing or two...
Some of what she includes:
- Custom APK's (Handcent, Facebook, Myspace, Backup for Root, Ringdroid, Google Finance, Bible, Pandora, Audio widget, Astro, Backgrounds, Terminal, the standard 1.6, plus a few more that i cant remember...)
- Custom Dialer, Launcher, Lockscreen, Caller Id Screen, Keyboard... too much to think of, its late... Ill be more detailed tomorrow
Im gonna do some patch updates cause im short on time, but tomorrow she should be up and complete... this is just a taste test.
Tomorrow or the next days update:
- Custom Calendar, Myspace, Facebook, and updated versions of some of the apps..
- Re-Zip Align and Optipng some of them (been too busy to do them all... Job, Gym, Work, plus GF lol)
- Fix main wallpaper, Add a few
- Extra Modded Apk folder so you can choose what you'd like
- Cyanogen Version
- Custom Smilies
- Better Boot Screen
- Fix a images in the dialer (edit tab pics, add gloss to the buttons, etc)
but thats it for now, try it out.

also... i use bettercut to alter the shortcut names (not in those screens)... but they are not bettercut icons... these are modified apk's... some of you will probably want some of the widgets, but the only ones i can release is the pandora, audiomanager, and power... the rest is considered warez here... sorry
Sounds great, cant wait to see the screen shots...
i embedded the images, but it isnt working for some reason... does it not accept imageshack links?

ps just paste the text directly in the message body dont use the embed image option also place a space between each link
waiting for screenies
sorry about the mix up!
screen shots are up and running... a bit html inept, i guess there is a special imbed required for forums... my bad

haha, mine too...
just got home... should have it posted soon, just polishing up the final touches and removing warez before the mods ask me to haha.
UPDATE!!!
so i do apologize about the delay, im still working out a few kinks and putting in a couple glossy touches... theres a lot of subtleties that Ive focused on, cause im a detail fanatic. I just suck at photoshop, so if anyone wants to help me out with some of the graphics, Id love the help, just shoot me a PM. Im going to try to steer away from doing too many incremental updates. Itll be more of a wham bam thank you man, but if they come along itll just update over the current version.
tonight though, the first release should be up
Hope youre excited, this is my first release on here for an Android device.
Damn things are soo tricky compared to what im used to with Winmo.
Can't wait for this theme to be released! Ima be one of the first to flash! =)
k, this is the first release... i know some of you are gettin antsy... ill release a few updates due to time restraints... but shes nearly complete
Flashed this morning. The theme itself looks awesome, though I don't want a majority of the apps you've included with this theme. Some problems I've found...
*Can't access WIDGETS when long pressing on home screen because you get "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." (Force Close)
*Can't access SETTINGS when clicking Menu > Settings because you get "Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." (Force Close)
*Market icon stays red/black until you click on the Market and exit, it changes back to green/white.
The two biggest problems I've found right now are the Widgets/Settings because I can't put anything on the home screen without getting a FC and I can't delete any of the apps. that I don't want because of FC's as well. Going to flash back to Droid Red by Opasha until these are fixed, once fixed I will definitely be using your theme. Keep up the good work.
Suggestion...can you make an optional red/black icon for ChompSMS because I do not use Handcent. Will post more later after I check everything out on your theme. =) Thanks and keep up the good work! Look forward to the updates!

yea, the apps get installed to the system partition so you have to open up the zip and delete what you dont want.
As far as the force closes, I installed it once as a test run on a fresh build and it worked just fine. If you did these things and still get fc's... Go to settings, applications, manage applications, find the apps that force close and delete the cache... its a simple solution you can do without wiping. I know about the market switching back, its because it updates you to the newest version (which is the same, but they added bill to account)
to fix, just follow the same steps as above, but choose "uninstall application"
It does not allow me to go into SETTINGS I get a FC message as soon as I click on the SETTINGS icon. I wiped data before flashing this theme. I'm going to wipe data and ext's now then reflash Dwang and reflash your theme to see what happens.
UPDATE: Wiped data/ext's...flash Dwang 1.17 and then your ROM. Those two problems are fixed. =)

Oh yea...will your theme work with the new Dwang v1.17?

ok, that will work for sure... i think the problem was that i optipng'd and zipaligned the system apps at full threshold, i just read in a forum that it can corrupt some of them... but to answer your question, yes... it will work with 1.17, thats what im using.... with zero force closes.
which apps dont you use?
I am currently working on two themes to commemorate the Tron Legacy movie coming out in December: "Encom" and "Tron Legacy". Progress is slowly and regularly being made, and themed components are finally starting to roll out for testing. If your up to it please download the latest release files and let me know what you think, or let me know any problems you run into.

Known Issues:
Launcher tray background needs to be black. Must figure out how to change.
Image deviance on launcher graphics between normal state, and delete states.
Clock/Date still in black font. Must figure out how to change to white.
I am really liking how this one is coming together. The launcher bar matches with the wallpaper so well, and what I have done as far as the status bar has promise too.
So lemme know your opinions and recommendations, and I will do my best to make some quality theme for all of us. Just keep in mind this is my first attempt at theming (though I have done a lil bit of graphic work in the past).
Also, here are the wallpapers I am including with the themes. Encom's has been cropped from the remote access to Hardington's desktop. Legacy's was taken from a movie poster. (One with text added, and one without)
View attachment 299495
*Wallpaper and Encom trademark is property of its respective owners (Disney and 42 Entertainment) with editing and modification by me.*
*Remember to always do a nandroid backup before any major changes*
Just added pics. lol fail on me. Tried linking pics from tinypic, but didn't even think to use built in image attachment.
Just added a second theme to pair with the first. Lemme know what you think.
tron FTW but make the screens show your home screen or something
Each theme is currently showing the photoshop mockup of my homescreen. Much more work is required before this hits my actual phone.
i sir support the development of this theme
Damn yeah, i'd love to see how far this get.
Mya adw.one theme started as "tron theme" in my mind... but it ended in a very different concept... so if you manage to get the tron feeling, i'll definately be using/supporting it.
If i can be of any help, just pm me or tweet me!
Thanks for the offers. Once I get more into the technical part of making the theme I'll keep you all in mind. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up most of the knowledge I need from the forums, and other tutorials around, but it is always nice having some friendly backup.
Put up a test of the launcher for metamorph. Eventually want to do this for advanced launcher since this is what I use normally, but I was running into some issues with signing. For some reason my computer is giving me trouble with this. But that is a hurdle for another day.
Remaining issues:
Need to figure out what file to modify in order to change the launcher tray background to match the black launcher.
In normal state the middle bottom bar is hidden, but all other states is visible? Lost on this one. Exact same file, just different colors. It appears that the normal state is stretching just taller than the others as well. (this is visible since the bars are taller on this state)
Anyways, let me know what you think.
Two versions of the status bar are available in the original post. A two-tone black bar, and a grid bar to match the wallpaper.
I'm having a tough fight over the choice of these. The two-tone is nice and simplistic, but the grid just looks cool.
Issues: Clock/Date still in black font. Must figure out how to change.
Tron Legacy:
I have just posted updated metamorph files in the main post. This update merges the status bar, launcher, and wallpapers into one morph.
You have the option to choose between stock launcher, and advanced launcher. If advanced launcher is not found it will be automatically installed for you.
There are still some minor tweaks I want to do for these files to clean things up, but I consider this release to be the first step towards a usable theme. Give her a spin, and let me know what you think.
will this work on my nexus one?
Just wondering...
Im using the CaNNoN Eclair 2.1 rom for the htc magic, however after applying this theme using MetaMorph, I just get fc's after rebooting from MetaMorph.
Am I missing something? lol. Maybe this isn't for 2.1 just yet...?
This appears to be an oversight by me. Appologize for this. This is my first theme, and didn't realize what specific parts would make a theme be usable by only one rom build. I am building this rom based on my G1's CM 4.2.15.1. Once I have a complete rom built I will look into seeing what I have to do to port this for other roms.

Ah! No worries. I thought I missed a step somewhere! haha...
sorry for nooby question.. im a noob!
but does my hero need to be rooted to install this theme?
and does CM 4.2.15.1 mean Cyanogen Mod?

Yes, and Yes. You need root to use custom roms such as cyanogen mod, as well as to run apps like metamorph.
On a side note, I am half tempted to break the files back up into individual morphs. That way the parts that aren't locked into an individual rom can be used by anyone. *at least until I can get a full theme created. I'm really not worried about whether people use my whole theme, or just parts of it to their liking. Might as well make things easier on people. I've been real busy with school lately, coming up on finals so haven't had the chance to do much with the theme. Hope to get back to working on it soon.
Alright I finally did some more work on this. Finished the Encom Launcher, and upped for your use. Came out real clean and professional looking. Let me know what you think. Have a Link in main post.
Will be posting the regular launcher for Encom soon.
Figured out a few more things about how the launcher files work and didn't run into the problems I ran into with the Legacy launcher. Because of this I am going to be going back and fixing those issues on the Legacy launcher next so I can check that off the list.
