still my favorite theme for this old device. I hardly use my n800 anymore but when I do I get a kick out of the LCARS theme on it.
This theme is incredible! Very detailed and complete. Have been using the okuda desktop since it came out (6 months ago maybe) and used the LCARS Bridge theme before that (since OS2006) and I never get sick of them.
There were some issues when OS2008 first came out with a couple apps having black fonts with a black background (these were marked as Nokia bugs) but there aren't any issues presently.
Love it!
Excellent implementation of something originally designed for sci-fi having real world uses.
It just looks and feels "right." IMHO this is how the tablet should have been shipped. Tablet + LCARS PADD = Perfect marriage. :)
Thanks Ian!
This is brilliant. Not 100% as usable as the default themes, but so much more fun to show to people... I've been giggling happily every time I look at my tablet, and everyone I've shown it to has been highly amused too. Fantastic job :)
Daniel: The sounds can be easily removed while keeping the themes, since they have their own package. Same goes for the replacement icons/startup graphics. First uninstall lcars-complete (a meta-package which depends on all other LCARS packages, but installs no files of its own), and then you can remove the sounds and/or extras packages while keeping the themes. Reboot after removing lcars-sounds, and Nokia's sounds will return. We made separate packages for the various parts so people can pick and choose which parts to keep.
p.s. I wouldn't have rated my own software, but this comment system requires a rating, and if I select nothing it rates 0/5 stars. Very nice, Nokia ;)
My favorite theme by far, with one or two very minor issues.
1) Using GPE calendar the light font is almost invisible against the yellow calendar background. This is of course because the LCARS theme uses light text on a black background. Using the orange 'PADD' variation resolves this, but I don't think it looks as nice as 'Modern'.
2) The sounds are permanent. That is, you have to completely uninstall the theme in order to use the default ones properly. Again,I suspect this is a limitation of OS2008 rather than the LCARS theme. Note that the theme itself is easily removed.
Overall, highly recommended.
Great work! Respect!
Give us more :-)
Very intricate and interesting theme, includes lots of new menus, new sound effects, new icons and even a new startup screen.
Installed from the install link without any problems, and uninstalled correctly too.
Remember to change to another theme BEFORE you uninstall LCARS, otherwise you could brick your tablet.
