Community Focus: An Interview with Montecristoff Part 2
In this the second part of the interview with Montecristoff we ask him about designing themes. In part 1 of the interview we focused on his role developing applets and other functionality in Home 2.
Pointui: It hasn’t just been about the code though, you have also created some themes, please tell us about those?
Montecristoff:

First was Pointui Signs. A very contrasted theme, full yellow and black without transparency. This theme is quite symbolic for me as I’m rolling on Pointui Road. Theme background is here to remember that road can be long one.

Second was Wild Wide Home. It’s a very simple and basic theme, voluntary without embellishment. A plain and clear theme for effectiveness.
Pointui: Where do you draw inspiration from for your themes?
Montecristoff: Must be a part of my cultural and artistic side. Creative sources are large but some famous Painters and Designers are probably the most influential.
Pointui: There are plenty of themes created by the Community, what themes do you have installed for your Home 2?
Montecristoff: As for applets, I try each new theme from the store. I particulary appreciate global theme with applet-line style like, Amana.UI, Sonnar UI, SonicUI and Android to name a few.
Pointui: Is there a particular theme you’d like to see for Home 2 that hasn’t been created yet?
Montecristoff: Yes, yours
Pointui: We’ll see what we can do for 2.1.
Pointui: Thankyou Montecristoff for your time and support of Home 2.
