  NIce! Maybe a silver cog or something for the wheel?

I had something similar in mind, but just cant put my finger on the right design

currently making another theme. anyone know where to change the colour of the text on the top bar?

New theme. Inspired by the simplicity of the X1's themes, and the great look of the black brushed aluminium used by Fiio on the products.

Not 100% done yet, but in the end it will be a completely black and white theme

Black and white and Fiio red is a good combination.

Looking good . Would it be easy to mod it so there is a plain charcoal gray or black background instead of brushed aluminum?

The final version.

I call this theme "Simply Straight"

This is firmware 2.20



(for some reason i always do this sort of stuff around 1 in the morning)

Cool idea! I'm curious how easy it'd be to drop the orange selector stripe(s). Seems like the emphasized icon with middle placement should be enough to indicate the current selection and would further simplify the GUI.

This firmware version is easier to edit, the icons are now transparent, so that you can use your own background.
Note that unlike the "simply straight" theme, you can't have an animated background unless you "merge" the icons with a background.

very easy

Great! I used to mod X3 themes, but newer X3 and now X5 themes are a bit more complicated. I'm guessing there's just in PNG file to swap out across multiple folders?

Yes. All basic theme mods are png based. More complex stuff like moving icon location requires some fiddling with the config text files which is where modders like CH23 and TheoS53 seem to excel

 

[nmatheis]

Yup, I'm cool with modifying graphics files but am not patient enough to tweak coordinates

EDIT: Big kudos to modders who are patient enough to radically alter the GUI

Thanks for the compliment but I have to admit that I have no idea how to change the icon location lol.

But yeah, it really is easy to change the look, most files are PNG, so it's just a matter of replacing them. The only one which isn't PNG is the first welcome image which is a bitmap. 
 
I use photoshop to either make new images, or edit existing ones. Be sure to check the option to compress the PNG image when saving it, as the larger images can cause some slowing down in the overall UI. The screen is fairly low-res, so you won't notice a drop in image quality

Actually, nevermind..I've found where to change the icon location...now just to figure out how i want to edit them :-D
