Theme authors – Due to Android 12 changes, please update your theme apps to use the updated API (of which a really easy example is given you can literally copy and paste for the most part): https://github.com/piemmm/torque-theme-plugin

Hello, this thread is for posting themes to be included in the theme server part of Torque, if you have made a theme and think it’s good enough that others would enjoy it then post it here (and thanks!)

Information about themes can be found at: http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Themes and also by downloading one and examining the zip archive. To try them out, follow the instructions on the blog posts linked above

Please also look at the example theme plugin which allows you to provide themes directly to android: https://github.com/piemmm/torque-theme-plugin

Want anything extra? Let me know and I can add support for it

If you have a theme you would like to share, post it to me on ian@prowl.org and I’ll add it to the theme server!

Thanks!

Well that puts my graphic skills to shame Now available on the theme server, thanks!!

i’d love to be able to define the colors, numbers, and fonts used for gauges.

to make themes that match the the gauges in my cars.

Anything new for themes? I’m not sure where I should be placing the ZIP file for the themes on my HTC EVO. Can anyone suggest where the zip should be with directory names? Thanks!!

Is it possible to

1. Specify the needle color
2. Specify the tick mark colors
The properties file has provisions for specifying the colors but nothing seems to work.

Hi all!

Just wanted to chime in to let everyone know that I have created a new theme for Torque, only after having the program for a few hours. I LOVE IT! Ian, you’ve done a great job, and I look forward to the development of this app.

Anyways, in regards to the inspiration of my theme, it is actually based on my HTC Sense mod (for Desire) located here – http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858115 – I wanted to keep everything consistent with my phone’s UI (as I like to dabble a lot being a web designer), and this is what I came up with. I may update it, and if Ian likes it, I am hoping that he can put it in the Theme Database within the app. If so, as per the other themes, I would call it “PCB”, with a description of “A printed circuit board inspired theme.” by George Merlocco (not to get ahead of myself in case it’s not worthy of being in the official list!)

BTW, the font is the default Android lockscreen. It can be downloaded as a flashable .zip (for Rooted/Expert) users here – http://fachadick.wordpress.com/2010/11/20/storopia/.

OK anyways, here’s some screenies (sorry for the high resolution, but you need to see the detail! Plus, they look really nice on the device screen)…I hope you enjoy it!

You can also download the .zip file (which you must rename to “theme.zip” and place in ‘\SDCARD\.torque’) from here: http://leedroid.com/file_download/179/torque-pcb_theme.zip

[OFF-TOPIC] Sorry Ian, but I also wanted to ask about the possibility to host the logging server ourselves. I am a little weary of uploading my personal data to your server (no offense!). I know it probably opens up a whole other can of worms with respect to supporting the installation, etc. of a MySQL/PHP portion of this app, but more advanced users may just enjoy a clean .sql script as well as your .php files so we could run it ourselves. Forgive me if I missed this in another thread, and for not posting it in the “feature requests” monster thread

Cheers and thanks for such a great app!

Woah.

Hi, thats a cool theme

When you’ve got a good theme, post it to this thread, and I’ll get around to packaging it up for the theme server – This should usually take around a week or so (most of the time it’s down to me checking this thread), if I’ve not looked, then feel free to drop me an email using the ‘contact developer’ button

I’ll see about getting that theme uploaded in the next couple of days!

It’s looking good! What colors are you going to put the needles and markers?

Here is the current theme I am working on called “Hot Dial”. Few tweaks left to the needle and marker colors and then I will ship it off to Ian.

Let me know what you think.

Is there a way to modify the colour of the needle ?
