Transitions are easy to implement. I'll see what I can do. Not before next week though. So sit tight and make sure to follow up on this thread !

I really like it and how fast it remains! I'm quite new to themes but I was wondering is there a way to make a shortcut/hotkey for universal search and messages? If I leave universal search on, I can still use the shortcuts whilst the unassigned ones can still do the search (tho i do need to delete a letter I typed) . Using this theme, I kinda miss the expanding notifications bar but if there was an option to enter into it from the homescreen then I'd hardly ever have to leave the home screen.
In the end my suggestions really don't add to much that I can't find other ways to deal with it. e.g shortcuts or convenience key.

I love what you did and your minimalist approach, I'm digging the hotkeys, the one button press to get to the application screen and the subtle return to the home screen when it begins to power down - I can see more of my wallpaper and I like that you didn't tamper with the battery icon etc

.
I loved the panes on the default but I can see how ppl would prefer this and shortcuts.
what do you mean "Clock on the Homescreen is a shortcut" - are you talking about when i press down on the trackpad?
Only one nitpick in your design, when you go to the icon screen the battery and connection icons aren't aligned with the homecreen at the top.

Thanks for your time.

After sticking so long with themes that have docking 10 icons I decided to try this one out...

Luv it! A great combination with quick launch.. freeing up the home screen for beautiful wall papers...

FRantic... you rock!

**FRanatic** · 07-11-2011, 12:28 PM

@zensen: Hotkey for Universal Search is planned for the first revision. Somehow it doesn't work at the moment, so I'll have to look into that. The alignment will be adressed aswell.

I noticed the battery does not change to charging icon when charging (just like the battery icon in "option screen" during charging).

Is it possible to add this feature?

That's a theme builder bug. I can't help that.

hmm... but the other developer developing on their themes somehow managed to get the charging icon up? hmm...

Like I said...I can't help that. For me it's not an issue, so I don't bother putting time in it to sort out how to fix it

I have been tweaking Bare! here and there.
I've added some hotkeys (search and facebook) and did some layout tweaking.

I'll be testing this for a few days and if it works without issues, I'll release v1.1 here.

Stay tuned !!

Would you consider as one of the tweaks replacing the alarm icon?
I keep asking about this once a while, as I do think the OS 6.1 (or 7) clock icon match quite good the shiny profile icon

Attached the icon + resized icon (credits to the sabisgeek for extracting them a while back and posting in the theme developers section)

Consider it done !
Thanks for supplying the icons !!

Please consider adding these(it doesn't matter to me which keys to assign to the apps, just some suggestions):
W: Whatsapp
Shift+N: Blackberry News Feeds
Shift+G: Google Maps
Shift+B: Bolt Browser
Shift+T: PB Task Manager (BlackBerry App World - PB TaskManager - keep your phone faster)
Very good for killing unresponsive apps, the trial works forever I think it's ad supported.

Thanks

Thanks

Using key combo's defy the purpose to set them as hotkeys imho.
If you are willing to hit two keys to launch an app, install QuickLaunch and use that. Awesome app.
