RE: Contest - color themes for newRPL - Prime G1
Hi Claudio,
this contest is what I needed to return to activity on the forum... Lately I've also purchased a second hand G1 Prime just to test NewRPL on the real thing! (I must admit I'm impressed by it... It's a nice thing that it can dual boot NewRPL and original OS!) To pay tribute to HP long standing rivals I was inspired by TI's greatest achievement in computer technology: the TI99/4A Home Computer, so here's a sneak preview of the TI Prime! The theme doesn't include all TI9918/A video chip colors but tries to recreate the look & feel of the venerable machine. Some observations: 1) Palette entry #23 (Stack: Selected items text) is not implemented 2) Neither are entries #40 and #41 (Action on pressed menus) 3) Since forms are not implemented it's a bit difficult to judge how the colors match: could the empty app screen be replaced by a crude mock-up just for the show? 4) The error messages share the same area (and therefore the same colors) of the help area: wouldn't it be better to allow different colors? 5) A GETTHEME command? BTW the 4 example themes are very nice: Claudio, will you hard-code them in newRPL as you did with the fonts? |
