Spoiler But I forgot to ask, would you all prefer i concentrated on icon sets or themes? EDIT: maybe it sounds a silly question but to me there’s a difference, a set of icons is just that, but for a theme a background and icons need to work together (does that make sense?). Spoiler But I forgot to ask, would you all prefer i concentrated on icon sets or themes? I honestly do not know what to tell you, do what you feel and you can, it should not be an obligation, everything that comes from you is welcome, you know we are your followers , I would like to contribute but the skills apart from small touches are incomparable with yours and those of @chris1111 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Ha. Yeah.. thanks for the replies. I’m happy to continue doing both but I guess I’m just thinking out loud about the best use of my time moving forward. I mean if I create 100 icons sets with maybe 70% of those being colour variations, how many of those will actually be used compared to creating maybe 5 themes?

I think you actually do a set with Fifty shades of gray (as in the fim) I think a lot of them remain parked, so then it's better to create a few less shades and an extra background. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Thanks for confirming exactly what I was thinking. In fact it’s mainly only you I’ve seen take my icons and put them on your own background. I will move forward with less icon set variations and more complete sets with a background.

chris1111 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 @blackosx my suggestion is to create 5 or 10 background then propose of user using them with any set 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe work with @antuneddu sometimes, and release his backgrounds and your icons sets together as themes? At least when he comes up with a doozy like that violet/pink/purple one I liked so much and am using as my daily driver for now! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I would also like to clarify why it is not right that I take credits that do not belong to me , I take the images from the web that I like the most I do not create them from 0 maybe I add some logos or alter the colors to adapt them the most is possible to icons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I would never have come up with that violet/pink/purple background. Well, just to be clear, I was referring to the whole theme - the combination - as the doozy! So I guess if you produce really beautiful icons @blackosx , and someone like @antuneddu works to pair them with backgrounds (wherever he gets them from! ;-p ) to make beautiful complete themes that lazy programmers like me can just take and use, then that works really well for the rest of us.

I like it so so, does not finish convincing me. How easy to comment when one does not contribute anything. The rest of us will also have to create backgrounds for @blackosx sets of icons.

Anto65 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 yes but yesterday I did it on the fly just because I was trying flavour, so much so that after having posted the shoot with you I deleted it, in fact I don't have it as a theme, but as it likes to @Bmju I did it again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmju Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) By the way, I have to admit that like @miliuco said, I'm probably (well, definitely!) just dabbling, when it comes to the work of the artists! But also @antuneddu, I think you add more value than you realise, when you combine @blackosx's icons with really well suited backgrounds - even if they're 'just' ones you find and customise slightly - to make some great full themes! /M Edited May 23, 2021 by Bmju 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on latest opencore 0.7.0. but booting theme not showing up... it goes to the menu like. boot screen. Please Check this... What I see seems to be ok. But you have PickerVariant=Modern which is an option of 0.6.9. In 0.7.0 you have to have the Resources/Image folder structured in subfolders with the format Theme-creator/Theme name. OcBinary data now have the following icon sets: Acidanthera\GoldenGate - macOS 11 styled. Acidanthera\Syrah - macOS 10.10 styled. Acidanthera\Chardonnay - macOS 10.4 styled. We have 2 ways to assign a value to PickerVariant: Predefined aliases: - Default: Automatically select Acidanthera\GoldenGate. - Auto: Automatically select one set of icons based on the Default Background colour: Acidanthera\GoldenGate for Black and Acidanthera\Chardonnay for Light Gray. Icons sets included into its own folder (as mentioned above), writing the value Creator\Set in PickerVariant. For example, you have 3 icon sets made by different vendors: - EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Acidanthera\GoldenGate\Apple.icns, AppleRecv.icns, ApleTM.icns, BtnFocus.icns... - EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Blackosx\BsxM1\Apple.icns, AppleRecv.icns, ApleTM.icns, BtnFocus.icns... - EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Chris1111\Apple-BnW\Apple.icns, AppleRecv.icns, ApleTM.icns, BtnFocus.icns.... Depending on the value of PickerVariant: PickerVariant=Default > GoldenGate is the chosen theme PickerVariant=Blackosx\BsxM1 > BsxM1 is the chosen theme PickerVariant=Chris1111\Apple-BnW > Apple-BnW is the chosen theme. PickerVariant intentionally supports \ or / as separator, e.g. Blackosx\BsxM1 or Blackosx/BsxM1. Note: you must remove prefixes from icon names. Try and comment.
