hey guys, I had several requests to put up a green theme. I had my doubts as I was playing around it came to my conclusion that green SUCKS, so I wasn't going to work on it. However, after doing a lot of playing around with colors, I finally was able to get a shade that looks good and still makes the text stand out. I have put all files in one folder and they have to go in the proper locations. Most of you know where they go as it is explained throughout this forum. I have installed this green theme on the NAV end using IDT 2 Nav mod as I feel his is the most complete and feature rich. If you do not use this Nav mod, just copy all the files except the ones labled IDT in the DATA\ui_pioneer\800_480 folder and copy them to whatever NAV program you are using. I clearly recommend IDT's mod though. I have made it to accept DPHursts schemes as he has the best schemes out there by far! Please give comments, any comments as that is what keeps me going! I am not doing this for donations, just because I enjoy it and I am hoping to share this among the community, so if you like it, let me know, on the other hand, if there is something that you feel you would like to see or change, let me know that as well. Cheers, I am very happy with this mod even though I was leary about it at first!

Do what I do.... I got all my themes on a SD card (with testmode) and that way, I can just switch to whatever one I want by copy & paste over the old file. Just make sure that you have all copies of themes on the SD card so you wont be overwriting something that you can't put back. That way, you will never get sick of a theme as you will have a variety

Looks fantastic! Thanks so much Abb. I can't wait to try it out on my system.

Guys, sorry for the stupid question, but how do I change original Avic theme to this green one? Also if I don't like it, can I return back to the original?

Thanks.

Put the AV part into the APL folder and the NAV part into APL2. Make sure you backup all the files before you do it though.

Thank you for quick reply! One more question, I noticed that AV part has a green bike picture, if I understand correctly this is a splash screen? If so I don't need it as I would like to keep my own splash screen. If that is the case do I still need to copy AV into the APL, but delete the green bike .jpg file?

That's correct, the Bike splash is not necessary to be copied, but copy the image.res.

can i still just copy everything even if i am not using IDT mod? or DPDurst schemes?

Do I need to copy files with the whole folder or take these files out of the folders? If with the folders do I need to rename folders?

Sorry for so many questions

Think i have confused myself. This is not the first time i have done a mod, i have done 4-5 before. I guess tonight i am over complicating things(i guess that goes along with being under the weather), but i need some advice folks. Here is the deal. I have refreshed my firmware back to 3.XX i cant remember right now, but it is completely stock. All i want is the green theme. I am not using IDT mod or anything(though it is brilliant). So my question is this. Do i just need to copy all the contents in the 800_480 besides the IDT files or do i need to just take out the IDT files from that folder and copy the rest of the contents to the HU?

You should be ok if you delete anything that starts with IDT and then just copy the contents in your 800_480 folder. Back up the original folder though, just in case and that way you have all bases covered

alright abb thanks man. You are like the Theme GOD haha. Great job. Still cant figure out how you do that so fast. Would love to observe you for 10 min haha

Its easy, you gotta know PS. I use Actions to get the exact same effect on each bmp, and then I use PS Bridge to Batch all the bmps together. Doibg it this way takes about 40 minutes compared to 2 weeks

ohhhh, i didn't even think about using bridge :/ dang. GOOD THINKING

what did you do after you opened bridge? Do you go tools>photoshop>batch... or do you use tools>photoshop>image processor...? Or which one did you use. Sorry for the questions

So i tried out your new theme. I am not using IDT mod so i took out ALL of the IDT marked bmp in the 800_480. Everything worked great. The sound was great the colors were great and matched my Tundra wonderfully. BUT there was ONE slight problem. I tried to open the map, destination, and navi settings, anything to do with the navi, and it wouldnt open and there was an error that said something like cannot open destination: IDT something another. It was a sound file that i must need to leave in there. Any idea where this file will need to be placed?

actually it says IDT_current_speed.bmp. So should i just add all of those files back?

Abb,

How long would it take to make your green theme like GUGA's. I like the icons he used.

The generic one, not the Civic

The icons mainly, but you can load it up and take a look at it. Adding green to it will make it look nice I think. It will also go with my Fusion dash.

The buttons look really good, but which icons in particular? I havent really seen anything special that jumps out. On a side note, why do you have your handguns listed in your signature? I have never seen that in a tech forum. I used to be an IPSC shooter myself

Nah, the main menu icons are very plain and generic. If you like them, they are easy to put in yourself. Just extract the images that you want and replace them in the ui_pioneer/common folder. I am going to try to install the buttons though and see how it looks.

Hey Abb,

Can you tell me what program you use to open the image.res?

Thanks.
