Gradients feel foreign #59

Closed uniquePWD closed 10 years ago

For the Action Bar, a grey gradient is used. It feels foreign to newer Android experiences where everything is flat. I would suggest replacing the grey gradient with a flat orange. Namely the orange used on the Clementine logo and changing the Clementine logo to white. Exactly like the Google Music section in the Play Store.

I like the current look. It has something unique. If more people want a skin change, i think about adding multiple themes to choose from.

You can try the new version and report back how you like the new layout:

Note: you need to uninstall the play store version first, this apk is signed differently.

Much improved overall. Not sure about the shade of grey for the actionbar, maybe make it lighter. Also the bottom border of the actionbar feels too thick to me.

Or orange?

For the border, I chose the same height as the ActionMode border. Check it out by long pressing an item in the library or playlist view.

I'm a big fan of the orange! Huge fan!

Okay, orange wins ;-) I commited the change, you can find the new apk here very soon:
