sticking a paypal donation link onto your theme is in bad taste
It's an original theme that I created after hundreds of hours of Theme Designer experience, it's not like the file randomly appeared on my pc. It is the result of hard work whether you see it as a hobby or not. I've also created a mod because I'm a hobbyist, it doesn't mean that I will upload the files for free, although I did for my themes... So, while your view is romantic, I find the idea of not letting people express their potential appreciation by donating extremely unreasonable and demotivating for the creators. It is work that we share for free afterall. I have many more thoughts on the subject that I really don't see the point discussing in a theme's comment section, I prefer to keep it clean for actual theme related comments. I do not know why you selected this theme to point that out since I've see donation links elsewhere too, I'm guessing it is a coincidence... Anyway if you decide to start a topic about this, feel free to invite me in that conversation. I'd love to talk about it more, especially if someone from evolv is involved as well to hear us out.
20 hours ago, zark said:seems to me. that you have put a not quite correct condition for the appearance of the icon , it is more correct to put the Temp sensing material
You need more in-depth testing of your products.
I apologize if you consider my comment an attack on you
I did not consider it an attack, but I also do not appreciate the sarcasm. My test results showed that this was the only condition that offered what I wanted for wattage as selected material, I didn't randomly select it out of the available options. I can also tell you that while tests ran smoothly, it did display a non-TC coil as TC on my mod the other day. So the condition in itself is not 100% accurate or I missed something. Therefore I've decided to remove this feature in the next update with the possibility of re-introducing it later on.
Keep in mind that it is not a product since it isn't for sale, I provide my themes for free like everyone else here. If it was for sale, I would probably test it more (than I already did) and update/hotfix it regularly, I am extremely professional. Right now I don't "have to" do anything, I just share my work. Some may love it, some may hate it, so what... Since I've never gotten a single donation, I don't have an obligation to anyone, If that ever changes I may think otherwise. For now this is a theme in version 1.0, the first version of this theme ever released. The fact that everything runs smoothly in such a complex theme in itself is a result of weeks spent just for improving and testing because I'm just that passionate about vaping and gear, that is a huge success in my book.It only has one bug that no one has addressed here btw (but you came close), ok it happens, I found it and I'll fix it. That being said, I am flattered that you hold me in such high standards. I haven't seen people knit picking others' 1st version in that manner, guess I've made a name for myself so I'm not even allowed a single bug now, fair enough I guess. Even evolv devs don't address bugs that often and that's for stuff we actually paid for and version 18 or something 😂. Kind of ironic since I make stuff for free, still nice though. Would love to see the same passion criticizing them since they actually get paid, maybe then we'll see some improvement. We still don't have a virtual screen to test the themes ffs and i've only seen one post mentioning it ever by formula 1. I kinda got carried away here, pardon me for the off-topic.

Hello @gwyar,
Your english is fine, no worries
. I've probably done my fair share of mistakes in the description. I've seen you around in the forum, nice to finally talk.
Good to know that you've done the watts increment changes before, also very good to know that somebody did it before you. Don't take me wrong, i didn't write that to offend you or others that did it before me in any way. I genuinely hadn't seen it anywhere and that's what i said. I was sure to phrase it like that, because i'm not browsing all the themes and therefore, I am not aware of what every other creator does with their controls. It still is an innovation for my line of themes and I'm really proud of it, I don't believe that I belittled anyone else in the process so i don't understand what you're really upset about...
As for the battery things i didn't say that i hacked it, I specifically used the quotations because it is not an actual hack. You seem to have ignored them. As for the red it is quite ignorant to believe that i added that in there as an innovation of some sorts. I personally have added way more in other themes with the battery gauge, but then again i don't expect you to have seen every other theme out there, that would be unreasonable and borderline crazy... I added the red low battery part after I talked about the battery gauge accuracy and made sure to separate it by starting a new sentence saying "Added to that". I really didn't want to make a separate segment to display that the battery turns red at 20% so I simply mentioned it there, there's really nothing more than that.. I really expected someone like you, especially as a creator yourself to understand how difficult it is to fit all that info in the "About this file" section.
TC capable and Replay Capable are the words that I carefully used, you are at a point where you are knit picking and making things out of thin air now and it is getting kind of ridiculous...
Which brings me to your last point. Color mapping is basic in every theme? Well it I'd say not even half of them have all the record options and are colored. I just had a quick look actually and only 4 out of the top 10 themes have it. Why shouldn't I mention it as a feature on my theme? Why should I not let people know? If it is important for me in a theme, it is for someone else too. I really don't understand your logic and why I shouldn't include it in the description.
To be honest, this really felt more like a personal attack than criticism and I have absolutely no idea what triggered it. You really tried to bring me in a position that forces me to publicly explain myself and make me look bad for no apparent reason, whilst you were being a massive (well starts with a D). You could be much nicer and you chose not to be. I welcome criticism but not this... whatever this was. It wasn't not ok. I did still answer for the sake of future readers. I tried to remain polite with my answers, hope I achieved that. This discussion ends here, have a nice day.

I will actually release something similar in the future, shoulda msg me first.. 😉 Anyways, i'm flattered you like my theme so much you decided to tweak it! Please don't say that it is V2 of my theme though, not cool.. Differentiate a bit maybe

@VaperFilip @RedGlare @biff Fixed the "Out of space" issue in Version 1.1. The latest EScribe update (SP17) was causing it

I can see the arrow and back buttons but no text shows. The only menus that do work are boost screen. Can’t see profile on main screen either.
Well if you can't see the menu text and you can see the arrows but not the profile name, i can confidently say that it is not a theme bug. Must be something else in the process. However you stated that you have "US firmware 1.1 service pack 35". The latest service pack is 33.2. I reinstalled escribe just to make sure that 33.2 is the latest and it is. I'd suggest you visit this link and re-install escribe, then apply the latest stable service pack to your mod from the "tools" tab which is 33.2. Perhaps you have a beta software/firmware which i don't have access to and it is causing issues. My second thought is the file somehow got corrupted, in that case download the theme from here again and upload the new file to your device. If the problem persists after you do these 2 things, you can upload here or p.m. me some pictures showing the issues you still have just to make sure that i didn't misunderstand your words. Unfortunately i can't help you more than that 😕

Thanks, i was thinking about it since we were talking. I designed the icons a couple of days ago and loved it on my mod. Glad you like 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 -
Also the 5 watts change was a huge deal breaker for me, changed it to 1 watt

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"

Already shared my views on this, so no point repeating it in a rude way like you are doing. I'd also appreciate it if you weren't trying to put words in my mouth. It is quite clear now that what you are doing here is targeted and a cheap attempt to undermine me. You have no intention of a dialog, you're just trying to throw dirt and force your ideas in an attempt to influence others. Feel free to do your preaching elsewhere, this is a space reserved for inputs related to this theme and you haven't contributed anything in your multiple comments. I've made it clear in my last reply that this in not the place for this.
Ok then, I do apologize for that Zark.
That condition did not work when i tested it. You had to have TC material selected if I remember correctly, so at that point an indicator is redundant. I will test again though when i get the time as per your suggestion, thanks for your input.
