General Consilium: More vibrant than ever.

Just a small request: can you please add icons for Koder, Crossy Road and Timetable Pro? It would be awesome! Will be buying theme straight away when released!
 
cobbyco loving your work as usual.

when 2.0 drops can you please have icons for iStudiez Pro and Reeder? Reeder is apparently supposed to be themed but isn't (perhaps it's just my device). Thanks.
 
I should be able to fit all those in before I release. Though I'm not taking any more requests from anyone until the update comes out.

EDIT: Scrap that idea. Couldn't make it look good on iPhone 4 to 5s.

Haha not the theme, just a last minute addition that was removed. I was planning a custom dock mask, but I couldn't get it to work visually on the 3.5" and 4" models: it looked either too cramped or the wrong shape/position.

I didn't want to add something that didn't look right on all devices, so I scrapped the dock mask idea entirely.

Just tweaked the wording a bit on the last post as well. Don't want anyone thinking this isn't coming out!

Okay. The dock looks great with the icons as is.
 
Just wanted to say that the 'curved dock' looks really cool. I wouldn't mind using it with 3 icons.

FYI in case you're trying to make it look like Yosemite, note that the corner radius used in Yosemite's dock (on the curved edges) is in fact a uniform corner radius that is used throughout Yosemite: In window edges, in buttons, in context menus etc.

So if your aim is to make it Yosemite-esque, you might want to make the corners 'sharper' (decrease the corner radius)

I've pretty much scrapped that idea now, though I might return to it later if I get enough time. The problem was the smaller devices, where the dock was so close to the edges of the screen that it was pointless adding it, but give it time and I may come up with a solution.

The corners found system-wide in both iOS 7/8 and OS X Yosemite are a bit weird, given that they aren't actually quarter-circles any more. They use this new weird shape, that as of yet hasn't been perfectly replicated outside the OS. When an app calls on the system to render a curved corner for a button for example, the system uses this new algorithm to create it in this new shape. I just used the curve found in the 120x120 iOS app icon, which uses the new shape, in order to feel more consistent with the rest of the OS. In comparison, pretty much all other dock mask themes I've seen just use normal rounded corners.

I've made an icon for Crossy Road, which is ready for the update.
I found Koder in the App Store, but it's not free, and I need the app installed in order to test the icon. I tried to find a 'legal' version online but couldn't find any recent versions. I've PMed you about it.
I'm not sure which app Timetable Pro is. Could you take a screenshot of the homescreen with the app on it so I can find it in the store? Thanks!

Here's the Timetable Pro app. This is also paid, but there is a free version some may have.

The update was just submitted, so should be available in the next few days! It weighs in at over 50MB, as I included three brand new wallpapers, all at iPhone and iPad resolutions.

Unfortunately MacCiti don't respond to their emails, so the package description and screenshots are still the same. Not much I can do about that.

Please note: anyone who has the Beta installed, please uninstall it before you update to 2.0.

Thank you! If MacCiti is being a pain, why not start a new package on MMI?

1. MMi didn't accept it first time around. Doubt they will now.
2. You can only host a theme (paid or free) on one repo. Because the old version is still hosted on MacCiti, and there's little chance of being able to remove it thanks to their lack of communication, I can't host it anywhere else.

Why did you choose MacCiti if they are useless?

There's always BigBoss.

Oh well.

And also, even if I could change repo now, I wouldn't. I want this to be a free update to the original theme, which I can't do if it's hosted on a separate repo.

It's a shame that when people think of MacCiti, they think of trash themes, despite that all being the ZodTTD side of the repo. They even redesigned their website to try and change this misconception.
