Revamped version of the Original PICNIC theme!
Hidden today/messages/sms (Tap the clock guy)
and 5 hidden icons below the docked 5... tap above to show them.
The animation from for the today items is a must see! The dock icons hop up and hide behind the grass, then the big red guy comes up!
Very quick.. no lag (on my S2)
Still needs some polish - but need a few testers to make sure there are no major bugs
Thanks!

Just downloaded the beta and so far here's my thoughts.
Not a fan of the Application Banner Clock in portrait mode. The orange background on the clock just seems to clutter it. The landscape mode (where there is no orange background) is much cleaner. I suggest switching the portrait mode banner to look the same. I realize it's meant to be as though the orage background face thing is speaking the battery percent, but it seems cluttered.
the landscape mode doesnt have anything? its unfinished. I will play a bit with the portrait banner....
The highlighted font in the message list (also the contacts and so on) is black and therefore is difficult to see clearly with the darker blue cursor. I suggest either making it white, which would make it stand out more, or lightening the dark blue cursor so the black is more visible.
I just checked on this... its set to default? This is exactly how it would be on the default theme.....If I change this, it will have odd effects on other items.
]On the lock screen the owner name gets cluttered with the time. I suggest just moving the time down a bit and pehaps increasing the font size on the time as well.
You see the lock screen? What OS are u running? I didnt know anyone with 5.0 saw the lockscreen anymore?
This one is simply a personal preference..do with it as you wish....the two zen items added to the home screen currently have no icon animation. Because you have hidden hot spots (LOVE the hidden today feature you added) as well as the hidden dock button above the 5 icon dock, it might be cool to have a simply bouncing icon animation so you sort of seperate the two zen homescreen icons. You could also have the icon text bounce or flash as well along with an icon animation. Like I said, this is just a personal thought, others may not care about this but I think this differentiates the two homescreen icons from the hot spots.
the 2 zen item are not normal zen items. I cannot add the normal flash or bobble animation (easily) since these were done in the svg file (I dont really use composer anymore)... I will add a focus animation of some kind
Overall the theme is great. Very quick and smooth transitions. The today animation is really sweet. The Homescreen banner is a little bit cluttered in and of itself. Not sure if that's your intent or whether your going to polish it up a bit. Maybe just align the icons a little better so it doesn't look like they're scattered as much as they seem to be. (The little purple guy is cut of by the 3g sign and the profile icon is just kind of dropped in the middle. This may be because I don't have my wifi on or bluetooth so that could be the reason on my end. Like I said, overall great thing, just some minor touch ups to help raise the bar I'm sure your trying to achieve.
The purple guy is holding the 3G sign, like the clock guy in the middle its supposed to be like that.09-20-10 07:12 AM
