    For the icons, I'm inclined to suggest going a very simplistic route - just colored blocks with a three- or four-letter abbreviation telling what the icon is (e.g. "BBM" for BlackBerry messenger, "Cal" for calendar, etc.).

    Also, is that WeatherBug slot going to have the icon text associated with it, or is it just the icon? For some programs (e.g. MeterBerry and WeatherBug), the real utility comes from having the text, not just the icon.

    Well the release is getting real close!!

    I might make a siplified Icon version based on kf6tac's suggestion..I have also read other places people would like to see that...

    No the Weatherbug slot will not have the Txt visable...however if you just touch it the text does show up in the Application Name area...I have found this still very useful in my testing....

    Thank you for the offer Storm-trooper altough I am not really going to be testing it publically...I have been running this on my own phone for over a month now and almost have all the bugs worked out and the graphics right where I want them...I also testing this on OS .75 and now I have been running it on the new OS .148...

    Ok, found it! I have peeped this thread before, no doubt! Mostly bc I've always wanted to know what LCARS is? A star trek thing?

    Looks really phat dude! Really like the super customization that the screens look like you have done!

    Looking forward to this one!

    Looks great! I"m with kf6tac, and would go with the simpler icons. The blue is ok, but when I think of LCARS, trekkie color combos come to mind...

    Actually the blue is an official LCARS color....check out the LCARS Developer website i have linked above...Although LCARS does incorporate more colors at the same time, and elipital and rectangle style buttons, when I did this in some of my earlier attemps I found it distracting on such a small platform..I do have plans to use more colors in the future...a version with simple 3 letter abriviations for icons, and at some point something a little more trekki..I hope to have a version for everyone at somepoint....I just wanted something clean, simple and functional...I just need to finish this one and I will move on to other versions..

    Also true LCARS is actually made with very simple colors...no depth...I wanted something a little deeper...Thats why I state its a LCARS Style...its my own take on the LCARS GUI made just for the Blackberry..I have been working on this theme since April trying to finalize a template and layout..its almost done...changing colors will take little time when this is completed...

    I also played with sevel different layouts before seteling on the one shown...the small screen and resolution of storm make a more true LCARS style kind of hard to see and use...As you can see this version isnt just about a theme but function also...I tried to use Larger than normal text, meters, and the unread Icons that are typically 21x21 I made larger to 31x31so thats a 1/3 bigger than most themes out now..

    After I release this version I will post a new poll on what color or colors to do next...so check back after my release on 6/22/09, and vote for what you would like my next version to look like...Thank you very much for the input, I value your opinion..Just know this is only the beginning for this theme...
