The battery % indicator is an image, and I'm not sure how to make it bigger (I think it can be done, as I've seen other themes use larger battery indicators, but I'm not positive how to do it).

As for the Application Name at the top of the screen, I've already fixed that and it will be available in the next update (which will be soon). I not only changed the color to white (with a black stroke), but also made it bigger. It was bothering me as well =)

Updated with the promised fixes... plus a few others (just small things like lowering the hidden Today area a few pixels).
See first post for more info and OTA link.

Nice job in keeping it simple and cleam, yet useful With the profiles icon in the bottom left corner, is that active to change profiles? If not, might look to make that an active icon Also, why not use the center of the screen to also call up the app list (since the left and right side show/hide the icon display. Just suggestions, keep up the good work.

The fixes are awesome. I have one more suggestion to consider. Whether you want to do it or not is cool as I'll be using this theme for the life of my Storm either way. My suggestion is to move the date up a tiny bit higher, keep it as clickable to get to calendar, then make the area below it clickable to messages, and then finally make the battery/signal area clickable to Options instead of messages. The only reason I'm suggesting this is that I find myself hitting the area where the messages envelope icon shows up on the home screen instead of hitting the battery area to pull up messages (or touch to show up on Today area of course). So if that date is moved up a little since it's smaller type than the time, you could move that touch/clickable area up a little for calendar and then make below that touch/clickable for messages and add in Options on far bottom right by battery/signal area. I'm sure I'll get used to hitting the far right bottom for messages if you don't want to do this change, so either way is fine. Thanks for the consideration.

Bob61 - the profiles button is an active icon.

bseblman - I actually thought about doing that. I'm just afraid that if I put too many hidden buttons in the bottom banner, it'll get too difficult to get the button you're after. I don't know... maybe I'll do some tests to see how if it is workable.

Everyone - thanks for all the compliments and suggestions.

Totally understand since you already have 4 buttons down there, but thanks for testing to see if it might work. That's all I can ask for. I'll wish ya good luck though as it would be cool if it is workable and reasonable.

Well, it doesn't look like adding another button under the clock and calendar buttons is feasible. It looks like it's going to work fine when you just touch the screen ("Messages" appears at the top like it should), but clicking it only worked occasionally... clicking the edges of the screen seems to be an issue with the Storm).
I don't know about anyone else, but I've already gotten used to the buttons the way they are anyways (with the messages button being the battery/signal indicator area).

So, it looks like the currently available version is likely to be the final version... unless there are more suggestions or someone runs into some so-far unseen issue. I'm all out of ideas to make the theme any better.

I appreciate all the kind words and compliments. Please spread the word about this theme if you really like it (ie if someone asks for suggestions).

That's cool dude. Thanks for trying. Only other suggestion I might suggest, to still get the messages button closer to the message indicators is to move the date to the top of the screen, but I'm guessing that's not going to happen. I'm cool with how the theme is as is. I only thought of a quicklaunch button potentially, but that probably isn't necessary either. So thanks for all your hard work on the theme. It really does rock!!

The only other suggestions I have would 1) maybe make the icons a little smaller, they seem big to me...but that just might be personal preference and 2) it would be cool effect to have the hidden dock slide or fade in/out.
