Nice theme - good screen use, icons, etc. I really like the small footprint too - works well for those of us with Storm 1s.

One suggestion: When the dock is hidden, it might be nice to flatten the bottom panel some and/or make it partially transparent as you do with the top banner. You have a fair amount of open space in the bottom banner and flattening some would allow more of the wall paper to be seen. Certainly making the banner semi-transparent like the top would be nice.

I had considered making the bottom banner transparent, however my meters (battery and signal) don't have a transparent background, so they end up being black boxes on the screen which doesn't look nice. As I created the meters I attempted to make the background transparent, but unfortunately my Photo Shop skills are somewhat limited and it didn't turn out well. If I can get my meters to have a transparent background I'll make the bottom banner transparent as well.

BTW, nice wall you have there!

Thanks for your feedback....

Well, determined once again I have managed to create a transparent background for the battery and signal meters. I then took your suggestion and made the bottom clock/date banner transparent when the icon dock was hidden. I then went several steps further. A new version has been released with the following changes:

v1.1 CHANGES:

• When hiding the icon dock the Time/Calendar dock will become transparent
• Modified the meters to have transparent background to work with new transparent Time/Calendar dock. Improved the clarity of the text.
• Modified the battery meter to say "Bars" instead of "Bar" for "2 Bars", etc.
• Larger selection area for Profiles and QL hotspots
• Changed the Caller Identification screen so everything is centered. Theme was originally set-up with picture on left and caller info on right, but the screen looked a bit odd when receiving a call where caller had no picture. Now everything will be centered).
• Added "Setup" folder icon (original version was missing my custom icon)
• Other minor refinements, reduced the overall code size.

Emails should be received from Mobihand with upgrade instructions for those who have purchased.

Incorporated feedback received into new version (thanks barryweiser) including fix for a bug (I'd fire the beta testers but don't have the heart to fire myself )

v1.2 Changes (as always, free upgrade):

• Fixed issue with messages being displayed for some users when date was clicked. Calendar should now always be shown when clicking the date hotspot on the homescreen.
• Added new hot spot to display Application List (click the center of the screen).
• Revised the New Message icons with custom icons.

Update posted on Mobihand, emails should have gone out with upgrade instructions. Enjoy the weekend!
