The wait is over! BlackBerry Pro v4 is finally ready. Many additions have been added to this release. I listened to the complaints on BBPro v3 and incorporated them in this version. So if you loved version 3 then there is no reason you won't love version 4. And of course, as with all my themes, it's completely free! See below for a quick rundown of features.
Whats New in Version 4?
New redesigned bottom launch bar. There is now 2 available launch bars. Just tap the bottom right corner to switch bars.
New 5 icon Hidden Dock
New icon set. Many users wanted less of a monotone look so icons are now full color.
Profiles icon now in top banner (by popular demand)
Built to run on OS 5.0
QuickLaunch hot spot
Wallpaper friendly (also works great with the BerryWeather Homescreen)
New custom made wallpapers
2 Black & White versions to choose from. BW1 has full color icons. BW2 has black & white icons.
Many small UI bug fixes

* would be nice to have an indicator on the messages button (launch bar) when a new message arrives - have seen this on similar themes
* there is no sound profile hotspot on the landscape screen
* since the Storm2 (and future devices) are WiFi equipped/capable, would be valuable to have the SSID displayed on the top banner . . . looks like you have available/space on the right side?
and a general question: while it is possible to change the wallpaper on the main screen, does the theme builder provide a way to design a theme that can have the user change the landscape home screen?
*hot spot targeting on the top banner is a bit irregular; especially on options on the top left side.
*you could use some confirmation/feedback on the 10 hidden icons on the homescreen (either highlighting or bouncing); while they are being selected one doesn't have the feeling that they have been.
Please let me know if you need testers for any changes to this or any or your other great themes; I'm happy to help.
much improved; been running it for the last 24 hours . . . .
*still having sound profile hotspot issues; doesn't consistently get selected (frustrating).
*font for caller/phone number on call screen is a bit small (as it seems to be on many themes); could it me made larger (12-14 pt font?)
*suggestion for addl hotspot on main screen - how about calendar opening upon touching date?
Hopefully this will be taken as constructive - love the theme & appreciate your great work.
OK - love is on the way. I like to use & experiment with a lot of different themes, but yours have consistently been my favorites - both on my former Tour, and now on the Storm2.
Hopefully my observations have been received a positive productive input that will help you make your work that much better (if it's possible).
Please let me know if I can do anything to help or if you need testers along the way.
