New Flex 4 Theme : Plastic – Built using Adobe Flash Catalyst Beta 2

Very very nice!

Looks good, but the font doesn’t seem to be embedded correctly on the bottom menu (renders times new roman for me when I view the demo)

Good one Siva..

Keep create and post..

some suggestions.
- the hover colors can be made uniform (currently there we have light-blue, dark blue, orange and gray).
- the checkbox and the radio button look similar. i would expect a checkbox to havea tick mark or a cross mark but not a dot.
- the arrows on the scrollbar don’t seem to provide much value.
- the font is not embedded for the header tabs.

looks good. the only thing i noticed is the top left and lower left corner’s stroke seems to be off. u might be able to set pixel hinting to true. if that’s already set it may be a bug. i’ve seen it in my spark application but haven’t been able to fix it.

simple and interesting,WOW!

nice one,
I guess this is a very basic version and it can be much better some suggestions,
- I can’t feel radio button
- selected bg of first and last item is visible behind the scroll track.
- nav item font , vertical alignment.

Thanks so much, greetings!

Looks good but I am unable to open the fxp in catalyst beta 2. It fails to open with “This FXP project has been modified outside of Flash Catalyst and cannot be opened.” Any ideas?

Hello.
First of all – thx for great job. Very good stuff.

I decide to form your skins and CSS as a theme (single swc file) – collection of such themes in my plan list.

So rather than using command line or ant, I decided to use lib FB project to do this. I made new project Plastic_lib, and put all your src to Plastic_lib src and deleted Main.mxml and Plastic.mxml. I didn’t include FlashCatalyst.swc in its source path. FB show me list of errors. I went project prefs->Flex Lib Build Path->Classes tab and changed “Include all classes from…” radiobutton to “Select cl…” and selected all classes. Errors disappeared. In project prefs->Flex Lib Build Path->Assets check css and ttf files. Plastic_lib.swc in my bin folder. To test this new theme, I made new TestPlasticTheme regular project. I took your Main.mxml to test on it and commented <!—-> as it will be matter of theme, and removed all skin class assignments (skinClass=”bla bla”) from components code cause it aldeady done in Plastic.css in Plastic_lib.swc (but you need to correct it slightly – add s|TextInput
{
skinClass: ClassReference(”components.TextInput1″);
}) to the Plastic.css file.
Than in TestPlasticTheme properties->Flex Compiler->Compiler Options I added -theme “path_to_your_lib \Plastic_lib.swc and built. Flex didn’t see font! Put UbuntuTitling-Bold.ttf in TestPlasticTheme src and all compiles good(strange thing. Font is already in swc.). All looks good except two lists
(I don’t know how to resolve it correctly, but I find two ugly ways :
1. You can rename s|List.menuList to s|List#menuList in css and give id=”menuList” in mxml to menu list(same with defaultList).
2. Rename rename s|List.menuList to .menuList and use this style as styleName property in the component.
Both approaches needs knowledge about the theme – bad.
)

It is almost fully-featured theme ,but troubles with font and list styles – don’t get it completed.
Any ideas how to resolve this.
Thx.
