My Samsung Galaxy S Home Screens

I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I90000 for a while now. The default iPhony look bothered me so much that I had been looking for an alternative look since the day I got it. One of my greatest inspirations have been the cool screens posted at XDA forums.

So, after couple of months of looking around, I finally threw together some screens that seemed to look decent.

Here goes:

Codoxide version 2.0 | New Theme and Updated Engine

When this post finally goes live, it'll accompany a new theme and the latest revision of the BlogEngine.net.

I'm gonna call this theme "Dark Garden". With this, I'm retiring my old "Defiance" theme. I have resued the icon packs that I used for the Defiance theme. Therefore, most of the credits remain with the authors mentioned on that page. New additions are:

The gorgeous flower brushes are from Elbert de Lioncour at DA
The cool Web2.0 layer styles are from deziner folio.
And I might update the smilies to their latest version.

In honour of the artists (wish everybody had stamps like this):

Update:

This site could have saved me couple of minutes off my design time.. Oh well

Code(II) Oxide: Undissolved Code

After weeks of photoshoping, CSharping and SQLiting, this blog is finally ready for prime time! Yeah!!!

There's a bit of frustrating history behind this design. It was initially dreamt up for my CodeOfDefiance.com site. After painstakingly constructing a Blogger template from this design, I had the bright idea of dropping Blogger and the domain and move on to BlogEngine.NET and Codoxide.com. Now, I'm thinking that the new domain should get a new design.

Anyway, in the mean time list of all important credits:

The tank on the top right corner: Chris Peura (featured at sxc.hu)
The clouds: JavierZhX featured at DeviantArt
The cityscape: injectioninfection featured at DeviantArt
The smilies: Fixedys featured at DeviantArt
The main toolbar (top left) was based on the tutorial on ITookia.com
The rounded corners on post titles: Snazzy Borders from CSSplay
Some other sources for PNGs featured around the site: YellowIcon and ZeusBox

Also, many thanks to my friends who provided feedback during the design process.
