Nokia store is full of vivid types of themes allowing you to customise your Nokia device in number of ways. Plenty of UI improvements are seen day by day. In this scenario only those themes can survive which have some kind of uniqueness. Transparent themes are rare, and not fully customised.
White Transparency is a theme of transparent routine and abstract nature. A uniquely designed black and white (almost) theme with shaded red and light blue effects, by rising themestar Dhaval Khanna gives your phone a very splendid look. Well, don’t get confused by the name, there is nothing like ‘your device will be fully transparent,’ it contains transparent elements though. Theme is purely based on antimatter concept, the fact that active parts like icons and visible elements would be in white with shiny and smooth black background.
Actually it’s Dhaval’s third theme after Blazing Red and the best seller Awesome Transparency (unexperienced Dhaval has spelt the theme name wrong there on store ). As days are passing, he is improving himself and the quality of themes by adding skinned third party icons and decorating default phone UI. In this theme, although Dhaval has not been able to skin third party icons (except a few very important ones), he has made many quality improvements in phone UI.
The skinned elements and the background both are of true high definition qualities.
Wallpaper
The default wallpaper is steel grey in colour and shiny enough to engage the white ‘unbordered’ icons of the theme beautifully. The wallpaper is one of the strongest point of this theme and the same covers all the phone background. The navigation bar (menu bar) is almost opaque and shiney dark-red in colour.
Icons
We can’t ignore the fact that the customization of third party icons is the most important thing that a themer is required too. Icons are superb and unique. This kind of work need a lot of time and skills. Here Dhaval rocks, he has designed the icon pack brilliantly. Till the moment, Dhaval has failed to skin third party icons at a huge level of number. Okay that he has skinned all system icons and some important ones, like Opera Mini and whatsapp, he still need to work in this area. Maximum people buy themes to get all the third party icons skinned in their phone. When asked, Dhaval claimed that he had skinned a number of third party (250+) icons for next update.
Elements
Now, probably the strongest part of the theme. All elements are beautifully designed for the textured background. The notification toggles are inspired by metro UI, in my opinion, and other things are customised according to Belle’s default look with transparent makeup. Music player looks great with refresh/fp2 elements being customised. It is great piece of work there is music section and especially when you’re new to themeing, this section is a challenge. Dhaval settles all the elements very nicely, there is nothing like extraordinary though.
White Transparency is a recommended theme for all Nokia Belle Refresh, Belle Feature Pack1/2 devices.
You may buy this theme at a nominal price of $0.99 from Nokia Store. You can check, Dhaval’s other works at his publisher page.
