I wasn't sure what to expect . . . but overall I like the theme. The transparent menus are great. My preference would be to have the font for each icon a little smaller as well as the icons. It feels a little like a large-print version.

The one odd thing I did notice was that the icon for the top right of the screen was set as the first icon in the second row of the homescreen. All other themes I've used, the first icon (in the first row) has always been the off-set icon. I also noticed that with my weather icon in the top right, the conditions, don't come up rather the application name shows up. The screenshot you have posted shows "cloudy" rather than the application name.

Other than that, I do like the theme and will likely keep it up for a bit.

Thanks!

I can't help with the actual theme itself...you will have to wait for dannieloco's response. But as far as the weather app, the same thing happened to me as well. All you have to do is go into the app, settings, and just re input "condition" . Once you exit and save, it will work again.

Thanks for the tip! I did as you suggested and viola! It's exactly what I want. If only those icons were a bit smaller . . .

Hey,

So this theme was intentionally made with bigggg icons. It's purposely made this way to show off the high resolution icons and the High Def screen on the the BOLD and 8900's. I knew it would be different than many themes available which is another reason why I did it. Also, in regards to the slot that the weather icons sits on, I choose the 7th slot simply because it's preference. I know you said you're used to having ur icons hold the weather in the 1st slot, but many themes I've used for my 8900 have had it on the 7th slot. In the end, it really doesnt matter.. I think Ill leave it that way since it's already set that way..

In addition to Candy's post, please note that the OTA posted on her blog is
1: Beta (for the next 2 weeks)
2: meant for the 9000 running OS 5

Like she said, it'd be nice to read feedback from you guys before I make it official. I have hotkeys enabled on it. If you press $ = SMS/MMS will open, and spacebar activates QuickLaunch. The final version will contain

F = Facebook
0 = Profiles
X = Poynt
Y = Yelp
Z = Google Maps
W = SearchIt (google Searchbar)

Feel free to check out the link on my signature for more details..

Screenshots are appreciated

Enjoy!

Thanks for your response. The big icons aren't that big of a deal. Overall I really do like the theme. My home is practically an ALL MAC home, so having this theme is only fitting. Out of the other MAC-like themes I've seen, yours truly trumps them all. And the wallpaper that pops up when the phone rings is a nice touch. Thanks again. For now, this theme remains on the crackB.

I don't mind the big icons AT ALL, but would like for the fonts on the home screen for the Messages and Calendar entries to be much smaller.

I will pass. It has a HUGE memory leak. I installed it and let my phone just sit there for 1 hour with only answering a couple of emails. My app memory went from 21mb to 8 mb.

dannieloco · #10 03-03-2010, 07:06 PM

Not trying to be rude, but I doubt its the theme killin ur memory. The theme is well put together.. And I haven't used complex hidden docks or sliding anything. The theme is pretty much a modded zen theme. Not sure what apps ur running but I'd look that way for the culprit. Lol. Eitherway, thanks for trying out the theme

I have been running the same Mini 14 theme for the past 2 weeks and my app memory goes down 5-6 mb max over a 24 hour period. I only restart my Bold every 2-3 days at most. The only thing extra I added was this theme.

Maybe my Bold is just weird.

Jinksu · #12 03-03-2010, 08:06 PM

I love this theme. I am getting a blackberry real soon, and if I get a MAC OS theme, it'll be this.

Can someone upload it somewhere else? If you've got the .jad file saved somewhere? Really want to start using the theme, it looks amazing

dannieloco · #15 04-03-2010, 04:22 AM

I will post the link here later today. I'm away from my computer and don't remember the exact link to it. My blog will be up and running soon anough
