AmpGUI DP Themes (now at AMPGUIMODS.NET)

[sayatnova]

I badly miss my Gold Complete, so lovely and perfect for me!...

[Shooshie]

No word yet. Andy must have fallen into a hole. I hope he finds his way out soon. We're rooting for you, Andy. Hope to see some beautiful mods soon for 7.2.

He said in an earlier post he had some projects on the go.
I'm ready with my PayPal acct for a new Sleek.

Sorry friends. The theme of my life is either I'm doing nothing, or trying to do 10 things at once. Never seems to space itself out nice and evenly.

You won't have to wait too much longer.

Good news Andy. Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Being looking for a new page on the site in the next couple of days, everyone.

All mods will now be in the "donation only" category, which I suppose makes them not donation-based anymore. I don't believe MOTU is concerned about people profiting from this kind of work anymore.

I'll be rolling these out one at a time as I get through them, so hopefully your favorite will arrive soon. The pricing for all these will be the same as I've already had set up, but I will be making special considerations for those who paid within the last 3 months or so.

There are a lot of really great changes they made in 7.2. It will make theming even easier, and also swapping parts around to your own liking even easier.

I support this Andy. I takes a lot of work, especially to port them over yet again. You deserve to be compensated. I hope you'll consider porting some of the heretofore "free" themes like Simple and Code Machine, etc and move them into the paid themes as well.

Good news is nobody has to worry that they're somehow breaking DP by hacking the app itself and now that themes is a directly supported feature of DP, there shouldn't be any major changes that could "break" a third party theme. Once they're potted to DP 7.2 they should stabilize.

Now THIS is the idea that will put my themes OVER THE TOP. Will get on this right away!

And, yes, ALL mods will be available eventually in DP 7.2 under the pricing structure. (Already started working on Clarity)

LOL!!! I tell you what. One if these days vie got to get the darned keyboard dock for the iPad. It's a cool device but it's ridiculous trying to type anything-- mostly the auto word complete feature is a total PITA. I want to add a sig at the bottom of my messages typed on my iPad that reads "Sent from my iPad after taking three times as long and backing up and retyping every 10th word."

Don't know if you want to do this, but you can turn off auto-correction on the iPad/iPhone in Settings>General>Keyboard.

Yes, thanks... I figured it was in there somewhere and hadn't gotten around to it. My iPhone does the same thing to me and it's more irritating than helpful.

I have a REALLY funny story about this "feature" I may have told before. I had to send an email to a client to find out if he would be emailing me some voiceover scripts that day. I sent him a very short email with the subject header "Scripts"... or so I thought. I was distracted and doing something else at the time and didn't really check it carefully.

I got a very puzzled email back from the client. Apparently my iPhone had a case of Tourette syndrome and auto-completed the word "scripts" for me when I can only surmise I typed an "o" instead of an "i."

My client's email message to me: "Scrotum?"

Absolute true story. Luckily this person was a longstanding client, male, and had a sense of humor. I can only imagine if this had been a female client that I had never worked with before. I explained the auto-complete issue and we had a good laugh about it.

HAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'm going to use this at the first opportunity and make up the auto-complete story. HAAAA!!!!

Thanks James for the little story. It made my day and I got a good laugh out of it. I've been in a rotten mood lately.

Thanks again

OMG that's funny. I honestly laughed aloud here.

I don't know when you got your iPhone. I've had one since the first version and honestly the first version was the best. It auto-completed all curse words! I think it was because Apple had been testing it internally and Steve Jobs is known to be fond of cursing. Anyway. They messed that up around version 3 and now that it auto-completes and attempts to offer spelling suggestions it's gotten a bit crazy (plus, they took out the curses the bastards, ).

Hopefully they will get smart eventually and let you seriously train/edit your phone's dictionary someday (it does a bit of this now but not enough IMO). That would solve the issue for me.

Something for everyone to be looking forward to....these will be in all new mods.
