No problem. 

It will be part of the AROS Silver series including AROS Geometric, AROS Silver (this one) & AROS Tiffany.

So there will be five themes each for a total of 15 themes.

After I post the Watercolor Series (25 themes) that I just finished I'll finish the Silver Series.

On AROS One of your themes I am adding only one theme per type (complete with Background, Pointer and Zune Prefs), users who prefer different colors will be able to download your archives from Aros-Archive.

AROS users thanks to our Themes will be able to modernize and have a wide choice !

Watercolor Gradient Blue.

For Red lovers, made a small tweak to the AROS One Red Theme, new background, new pointer and usual Zune preference.

I'm working on some new colors for you. 

[miker1264]

They look nice on the screen though the composite images are a little hard to see. 

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Nice, the AROS One user will be spoiled for choice 

[miker1264]

Some new themes for AROS One are being worked on. There will be a total of 8 new colored themes.

Here is a sample. I will upload the archive when finished. 

If anyone is interested I uploaded the Watercolor Cubic Themes to AROS Archives. There are 10 new themes.

Thank you, this could be the compleo theme of ArosOne-Cool Blue

What do you think about this new theme series?

It should be called "Rounded Silver".

It seems very elegant and It's my best design yet.
I hand painted the curves to give them a 3d effect.
I chose the colors carefully to make them very vibrant.

If you like bright vibrant colors then you'll like these themes.

BTW I'll try to finish up all the current themes ( 100+ ) in the next two weeks so I can get back to programming. Making themes is interesting but it takes a lot of time to do each series at an average of two hours work per theme. 

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes, this is also very nice, and will be part of the AROS One Themes, i will choose the colour, probably Blue.

Of course users who like other colours, download them from aros-archive will be able to integrate them manually into AROS One and manage them from Appearance or ThemePrefs, and maybe complement them with one of the many Backgrounds and Pointers available on AROS One!

Question, but what is the Zune folder you included on the Themes for?

Regarding your return to programming, it would be nice if you completed the tool to change the Type of Icons which is not available on AROS One, only those who install Dopus5 Magellan can do it.

[miker1264]

If the Zune folder is empty you may delete it. It usually contains 24-bit PNG images of arrow gadgets, knobs and containers that are sometimes used by Zune apps. It was included in some of the earlier themes. Most recently I just remove the Zune folder. I also only make LUT images for the complete themes such as OS4 Classic.

When I start compiling and testing again I'll be working on my icon tools including the tool to change icon types. The type of icon can only be changed for Classic Amiga Icons that start with 0xE310. For PNG icons the type is not stored in the icOn chunk but rather inferred from the other icon attributes stored in the icon chunk such as drawer data.

On Zune Prefs, any image (see AmiFox buttons) or any background can be configured for the Apps, but I have never seen any Zune App that automatically takes images from the Theme in use.

For Icon Types what is important for Dual-PNG Icons is to be able to change the icon type, this is necessary when the system associates a wrong icon. On AROS One this hardly happens because thanks to the datatypes descriptors almost all file types are recognised automatically, and each one associated with the right tool.
