Raestloz's THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE 2 [Chihaya Kisaragi] - Complete
Raestloz:
version 2.2
Hello, this is Raestloz posting.
Previously, I made a THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE theme for BlackBerry OS 5, using up most of my ideas (and time) in the process. I'm literally happy with my work, but I know of its shortcomings, and wish to improve it, if not for a new background (you need a very specific image to use it as wallpaper)
Thus, I decided to make a new one - THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE 2 - with a few goals and dreams in mind.
As per usual, this is a personal fanwork. This theme is tailored to suit my tastes and style, especially the dock icons positioning and selection, although I do try to make it available for others
Download link is available at the very bottom of this post. Please make sure to read the release notes

Release Notes:
Design Notes:
* I removed "carrier" element from banners, since you should've known what carrier you're using
* I removed Phone icons from Active Call screen. You should've known how you're conducting a conversation better than anyone
* Do not use dark pictures for wallpaper, and make sure the wallpaper's focus is at the right side of the screen. Doing otherwise will destroy homescreen's readability
* LDAP certificates and Reminder icons are not customized, as I can't find their respective app (and an invisible app doesn't need any custom icon)
* There is no slot for Device Application Order, the applications in the dock are fixed
Known Issues:
* The Internet category moved too far to the left when in focus (piling up at Communications category icon), this doesn't happen to other layersFixed in 2.1. This is navigation path fault
* The Set Up Bluetooth icon still uses default icon (white icon from Precision) instead of theme iconFixed in 2.1
* After I activate the theme, my device lags a bitThe theme takes time to settle in, this is normal
* I can't activate some icons at the homescreen / some icons at the homescreen doesn't workThis means you don't have necessary application for use with that icon. Install the necessary application for the icon to work

Scotty:
.....but why Blackberry...
Raestloz:
Because that's the only device I have scotty :-\ I'd make themes for Android and iPhone and whatnot if I have them, but... well...
Anyway, just like before, this thread will act like a blog. I will post advances in the creation process here. Partly because I don't have a blog, mostly because I do what I want
For now, I'm looking into creating a clean SVG. Blackberry Theme Composer-generated SVGs come with thousands of unused codes (a fellow theme builder showed a difference in fucking 11,000 characters for one single icon). Hopefully, he's willing to share his knowledge to me this will be crucial in reducing lags as much as possible (a bunch of unused codes tends to be a loser and drags performance along with it)
For now, main background is done:
Not the best image out there, but call me a loser and bear with it since it's the best thing I can come up with.
The info bar should be on the bottom left, with the XMB-like interface on the top left. If anyone can post screenshots of in-game interface for L4U! or SP, I'd be grateful. I need some inspirations for box backgrounds and whatnot
EDIT:
just got another burst of idea and managed to scram together this:
Depending on circumstances, might just go with the latter. if that additional picture proves to make it difficult to see things, I'll go with the former
Raestloz:
I can't believe how hard it is to realize a concept when you've got a designer but not an illustrator. I'm no designer, but you get the idea.
Because NBGI failed me by asking a producer instead of a proper illustrator to draw Chihaya this year, I have to find another source for image. Luckily, I have a scan of BRILLIANT IDOLS (no, the official title is indeed in all caps), which, while devoid of Chihaya has one image that fits my style and I've never used before: Winter Collection designs
My savior
This, of course, requires a winter scene as the background. I've already had the idea: Chihaya is walking on a sidewalk, behind her countless stores vanishing into perspective, each celebrating Christmas Japan-style
Now visualizing is easier than saying, and is even easier than doing. It's surprisingly hard to find an image that fits that description above. Many images come and go in Google Image Search. I tried a few keywords like "osaka winter", "tokyo winter city", and such. It doesn't end well. My solution comes from Bulgaria, a place called "Batanovtsi" was photographed, and resembles what I want the most out of everything before:
Ah... BVLGARI
So, after a few tinkerings, I need something to put there (for Owner Information). I know what I want: something like a card. iM@S official pics usually contain one of those to display text infos. Chihaya's card from 2009? No. 2010? Nope too.
Somehow, this year's image showed at least some use: the card there is perfect: it doesn't contain fancy colors, looks pretty good, and easily reconstructed. After a bit of Photoshopping, here's the result:
That's one heck of an image, if I say so myself
Also, i won't be using lock icon. I can't think of anything there
Scotty:
Loving the organization for the icons. Everything makes sense.
.....but why Blackberry!!! :'(
You should seriously move on from that platform man.
