replay Clean Colors (75C/100C/250C w/Replay - Many colors available) v2.4

@Ronbon172 thanks, you have actually been a big help and have found a number of bugs for me, so I'm grateful. As for this counter, I'm going to leave it in the theme for now since it might be useful info for some people (I like knowing how many times I've reset the data, but that might just be me). But I'll redesign the page in such a way that it makes it more clear what the reset number represents. Thanks!

Hey all, thanks again for all your support making this theme the best it could be. I'm going to keep working on it (in fact, v1.8 is around the corner), but this theme throws in everything and the kitchen sink. So I wanted to make a second theme that is much simpler. Maybe for your friend who is new to vaping, or your grandma, or anyone that just likes things simple. It's got the same architecture as this one, just pared down (a lot). Here it is if you're interested:

Thanks niandra3 i love the theme at my mirage. 

@s3r thanks for pointing out the version thing, I have it fixed for version 1.9 which is coming soon. This is why I need all you guys! 

@Erwin Julian thanks man! I use this theme on my own Mirage.. in fact that's why I designed it since I didn't like the stock theme so much. Glad you like it! If you ever have problems or ideas for improvements, let me know here and I'll work on 'em!

edit: it looks like you might be using an old version.. you might want to try 1.9 as its been optimized a bit in terms of visuals.

Yes i used 1.7v but soon 1.9v. Im a newbie but let me give idea to make bigger font of profile name (ex. Watt, titanium, etc). Thx. 

@Erwin Julian I would love to make that bigger, and it used to be, but if the profile name is longer than like 10 characters or so, then it won't fit on one line. Try it out. So I had to make the font small enough so it could split into two lines. If the font is bigger, then with a long name like "titanium" it would get all cropped out and wouldn't really be visible. But I did center it vertically in v1.9, so it at least looks a little better even though it's not any bigger. 

I might be able to re-arrange the main screen a bit though, we'll see. I'm constantly trying to make it better. I figured wattage/temp/voltage was the most important info since that's what you change most often (or I do anyway), so that's the biggest. 

Now that I think about it, I never use wattage mode so I haven't really spend a lot of time on that screen. I'll be sure to look into it for v2.0. For instance as you can see, voltage is displayed twice in wattage mode (in the middle and on the bottom right), which is clearly a waste of space. Anyway, thanks for the tip!

Thanks making and updating this theme so often @niandra3, it surely is my preferred one out of the ones that i've tried. I have adjusted the main screen a bit to fit my preferences more. I hope you apply some of my ideas in the future, so that i don't have to edit it every time you update it 

The version i have edited is 1.7

I have completely removed the menu icon from the main screen. I didn't like it that much when i was using the theme, it felt weird and unbalanced being on the top right, especially when scrolling. Ideally, i would move it and add a dedicated "Info" icon opposite to it and remove the "info" from main menu. There's only so much space on the screen before it starts looking clustered though, so i just removed it.  The battery % took its place, it feels sooo much better next to the battery. I moved the "Main Menu" function to when you highlight the bottom "status" bar and when it's highlighted, it says "settings" there now instead. I was also considering using the battery icon or percentage for accessing "main menu" but i just went with the other choice. Anyway, with the percentage out of the way, i added a resistance lock toggle. I like to have it easily accessible when using TC, it was a big issue having to navigate 2 sub-menus to get to it. I also added exceptions for the main screen when in wattage mode. When in wattage mode, you had Voltage replacing the temp number. Don't know why honestly, i assume you only vape in TC. Ohms now take the place of Temp number when on wattage mode and were the ohms used to be before, it gets replaced with "last puff" seconds. Did some swaps with the field numbers too, put them in order i find more useful and convenient to what i'm used to. The main menu was a massive issue for me, still is. Everything i go to frequently is under "info". That's way to deep buried in 2 sub menus. And when i back, it takes me to the main screen, not the submenu i was before. That's navigating 3 sub-menus to get to the screen i want again. My main issue though is that useful stuff are too deep. Don't have a solution yet for that (i'd probably design a theme based on yours if i had), i can say that it is just too inconvenient. Meanwhile the main menu screen has something useless taking up space like F/C. As a temp solution i just moved the coil info on the main screen, i plan on moving more. Swapping "main menu" and "info" is worlds more convenient for me. i'll probably go for something like that and rename them. Also removed the "profile" from "main menu"

Also the 5 watts change was a huge deal breaker for me, changed it to 1 watt

Wow thanks @Tortuga. You'd be surprised how many of those features were in earlier versions. I guess I got too focused on streamlining the main screen without thinking enough about usability. Look at DJLSBlab's theme and that was more or less my starting point. He did have an info button, and in my early versions percent was up top but coming from Android the menu button is usually up on the corner like that so I figured people would find it easier there.  

That being said you're definitely right. Version 2.0 is going to be a big update and I'll try to include as many of your suggestions as I can.  Some of it is preference of course, but if I can make it more usable I'll definitely do that. 

 

@Tortuga ah that one I won't  budge on 😊

I use30-60w and I've never needed 33 vs 35. Plus I use temp control so wattage becomes less important. But maybe I can release two versions if others ask for it.

Just giving my 2 cents from my POV, im gonna edit according my prefs anyway  Hope i helped. Yeah, i read that you started from djlsb's, but this one is just superior, no point going back now. I understand if this theme was dedicated to the 250c or something, but i usually vape anywhere between 50-70 watts and 1 watt makes a difference to my vape. Couldn't use it at all for MTL too. Anyways, waiting for the 2.0 now

@Tortuga no I actually use it equally on my 75 and 250 so I tried to design it to support both equally. Bit since I use Temp control I never need like 12w or something like that. 

But I truly do appreciate the input... So many great ideas and fixes have come from this community so I'm really grateful. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks to @s3r for the review. I take it you were able to get the temp control stuff working? And I have actually removed the version number from the About page for that exact reason.. I knew I wouldn't remember to update it. 

Try the latest version if you haven't already. Some improvements have been made to replay and other stuff. 

Thanks for the kind review @CoxyofNewp. I'm here for you all! So if you have any problems/ideas/suggestions etc. please let me know  here. A lot of the best ideas and improvements have come from you all!

Ok for anyone following this thread:

I have a new theme called Clean Colors. It is basically the same as this one (v1.9) except that there are some visual improvements and MANY options for color schemes. It's called "Clean Colors" and you can find it here. Please let me know what you think!

I will leave these versions here and available to anyone who prefers them, but going forward I'll only be doing updates on Clean Colors. 

The BETA version I made here will be split into a new theme called "Blue Buttons" and released soon. Thanks!!

Using two Mods with current firmware using Linux EScribe 2.0 SP15.1
Paranormal 75c - 1.1 SP33.2 INT
Paranormal 250c - 1.1 SP33.2 INT
Theme - Clean-Color-Blue-2_1

For both devices :-
Lock screen and Main Screen battery indicator does not change for full or empty batteries
There is no indication of charging with empty batteries but USB info shows devices connection and charging

Strange issue with puff count (Only appeared on the 250c after changing atomiser and reuploading theme a few times and then
when hiding all four data values on Main screen it shows the current puff count bottom right of screen
Can't see any options for displaying the puff count. I've used the Theme Designer to correct these problems

Overall I love this theme very nice work

P.S.
Is there a way of changing the Replay back to Play -> Playing (Green) and NOT Play -> Stop (Red as though there is a problem)
I'm not sure if this is a firmware or theme issue

@Atticfireyeah I stopped the battery icons changing color thing, to help support handling more wallpaper options.  Currently only the battery percent number changes color. But I can change that back if it's important to you. I just wasn't sure if anyone used/needed it. 

But do you also mean you also can't tell if the battery is full or empty? That's definitely a problem. 

Good catch with the puff count on the main screen. That's a new thing I added for wattage mode and forgot to add an option to hide it. 

Thanks for the tips, these will all be resolved shorty with a new release. 

Edit: and yes I was already planning on changing the replay icon colors. They'll probably be grey and/or related to the color of the wallpaper (partially transparent like menu icon)

Edit2: now that I think about it, I probably won't change the color of the battery icon, but I'll change the icon to make it clear if it is low or charging (with symbols). I want everything to be colorless more or less so different wallpapers can be used and not clash with the text or icons. 

Edited May 30, 2018 by niandra3

@Atticfire I just released version 2.1 which addressed I think all of your concerns. I updated the battery icons so it's clear when it's charging or when the battery is low, the puff count can now be hidden via Main Screen Settings page (note that the puff count only displays in wattage (non-TC) mode, so if you hide voltage you also hide the puff counter). And I changed the Replay icons to NO REPLAY > SAVE > PLAYING as suggested. Great suggestions, thanks!

Charlie,

This is the theme the DNA board has been waiting for, I thought I would have to chose between easy to use or all the available features in an unreadable menu nightmare.

You've bridged that gap to provide an amazingly versatile theme that as the name suggest Clean, Easy to Read while still being informative and highly configurable, best of both worlds.

The combination of Evolv's radical design work, Lostvape's beautiful hardware and your theme has elevated my vaping  to a joyful experience.

 

Thank you for your contribution to vaping.

@Atticfire Awesome, thanks! That was the plan.. something clean and simple but with all the features anyone could ever need.

I am in temp control using the latest version and my battery gauge is not displaying any percentage (lightning bolt does show on charge). I am using the red fire colour.

Ok I may be wrong as I just relooked at the screenshots and I think it is because my batteries are nearly fully charged and I was expecting a different colour for the gauge.

Edited June 1, 2018 by BKKK

@BKKK Yeah when the background is red, the battery gauge is almost always red. The fill of the battery gauge normally is the color of the background. It will change to bright red when low batt, and it should have the bolt icon when charging. 

Hey, thank you for this really great and beautiful theme!
I have only one request: Please set the steps to 1 or 2. 5 is ok, but I like to see straight numbers (like 40W or 44W)

Thank you very much!

Ah it's tough.. everyone wants something different. Most people these days use either high wattage or TC (me included), so I never need like 42w, because 45w is close enough. I think 5w increment is a good medium.. unless you are vaping under 20w, there isn't really a need for smaller increments. And for me, 45 is a "straighter" number than 44  

I'd recommend you can edit this very easily in the theme when you download it, before installing it just click Edit > Screens > Main Screen > click on the Watts on the main screen > click Options button on the right > change Step size. The options are 1, 2, 5, or 10.
