We would love to hear feedback! Any bugs or complaints please email us, so we can keep records at [email protected]11-20-10 04:01 AM - This theme looks real cool, I like themes that hide the menues. Sounds like the trackpad functionality is enabled. Is this theme wall paper frendly? Any Landscape bugs that are present in some themes? Any free give aways?

11-20-10 06:59 AM - Unfortunately, we had to disable the TrackPad, navigation got so complicated that it never worked right and made it do funny things. There aren't any landscape bugs that we know of, at least our tester didn't report any. We are going to giving away some copies on the main CrackBerry blog11-20-10 09:22 AM
- First, let me say that this is the best theme that I have found for the Torch. I have purchased about 8 themes for my new device and this one has managed to stay on more than a day! It’s the only one that I haven’t grown tired of or frustrated with due to limitations, flaws or navigation issues. This is a very professional and clean theme that is a very good compliment to the features of the Torch. Excellent work! I do have a couple of issues however and a short “wish list”...
1. I love the side panel but it needs to be a little wider to fit the icons in without being cut off. I have included a screen shot showing the mail icon and the same thing happens with the BerryWeather icon. I haven’t tried many others since this is still a fairly new theme for me but I suspect that they have the same issue as well.
2. Issue - There doesn’t seem to be any trackpad navigation on the home screen. I realize that this may be a limitation to the beta theme builder but wanted to note that. I also recognize that this may be by design. However, because of this limitation, I cannot scroll through the today entries when that little window is opened.
3. I think the Clock and “Manage Connections” images could be a little bigger. There seems to be available “real estate” in that section of the screen and it would also prevent accidental taps on the wrong section to get to the Clock and Manage Connections Apps.
4. Also, as above, I think the shaded gray bar with the Carrier and Date could be a bit larger to make it more “finger-friendly” when using it to access the Calendar.
5. Issue - In landscape view, the homescreen background disappears and goes to black (screen shot included).
6. Is it possible to make the open space beneath the clock “selectable” and point to a user-defined app in the app list for touch screen devices? It would be nice to be able to assign this “space” to BerryWeather (the newest version allows it to be your homescreen as in my screenshot) or QuickLaunch.
For those that may want to know, I am using AppClock below the date icon in the side panel to show "real" time. I think it looks really cool in the dock. I'm also using BerryWeather on my home screen for now until the side dock can fit the icon in it.
Overall, I very good theme and I would recommend it to fellow Torch owners. They won't be disappointed with spending money on this one!
*Edit*
Can you post the default wallpaper so I can use that for BerryWeather? Thanks!Last edited by BB_Berry; 11-23-10 at 07:15 PM.

I got your email as well, but i thought i would respond here so everyone could get the feedback.

This is a weird glitch with the beta theme builder, hopefully they will fix it with the final version
2. Issue - There doesn�t seem to be any trackpad navigation on the home screen. I realize that this may be a limitation to the beta theme builder but wanted to note that. I also recognize that this may be by design. However, because of this limitation, I cannot scroll through the today entries when that little window is opened.
I didn't include the trackpad navigation because of all the hidden buttons and hidden docks. I tried too, but it got really messy and acted funny, so I decided to leave it out.
3. I think the Clock and �Manage Connections� images could be a little bigger. There seems to be available �real estate� in that section of the screen and it would also prevent accidental taps on the wrong section to get to the Clock and Manage Connections Apps.
I posted an image on the product page that defines the sizes of each hotspot. They really are as big as they can be for each spot, I know some are kinda small but due to the design of the theme they cant get much bigger
4. Also, as above, I think the shaded gray bar with the Carrier and Date could be a bit larger to make it more �finger-friendly� when using it to access the Calendar.
I thought about this after it the theme was complete, the problem is that it would cover more wallpaper real estate and it would take away from the amount of Today entries, so I decided not to. Depending on feedback I may do that in an update though.
5. Issue - In landscape view, the homescreen background disappears and goes to black (screen shot included).
This is because for some stupid reason, on the Torch and Storm, the OS doesn't allow the user to set a landscape background so I needed to define one for you, I chose something i thought would be neutral to most, i hope i was right.
6. Is it possible to make the open space beneath the clock �selectable� and point to a user-defined app in the app list for touch screen devices? It would be nice to be able to assign this �space� to BerryWeather (the newest version allows it to be your homescreen as in my screenshot) or QuickLaunch.
That is very possible and a good idea, I'll look into that for the first update.11-24-10 12:45 PM - Thanks for the response regarding each one of my questions / comments as well as posting those wallpapers.
I certainly understand about that trackpad use and hotspot size. I just wish there were any easier way to scroll through the today entries as well as being able to scroll through the right panel. if you have a alpha or beta version of this with the trackpad navigation still incorporated, I'd love to test it out and would be glad to pay. I also find myself sometimes tapping on the clock inadvertently when I'm trying to access the "manage connections" menu. Maybe I just need to practice my thumb navigation skills!
On the right side panel size issue, have you tried looking at the SVG code to see if you can resize the panel background image? I haven't messed with the beta theme studio much but this may be a workaround to be able to adjust the size within composer if that is the issue. I originally just thought the panel was an image that you could resize to your liking and then incorporate into the theme itself. Just some food for thought ...
I'm looking forward to the user-defined hotspot and glad you liked the idea! One additional suggestion for your next update ... Maybe make the battery meter a "Selectable" button that opens the Options page (see the yellow highlight below).
Also, one last "wish list" item .. If you could add keyboard shortcuts to Quicklaunch (Spacebar) and SMS ($), that would make this the perfect theme in my opinion.
I can't say enough how much I like this theme. I've bought several since getting my Torch and this is by far the best original design. Great Job!!11-26-10 10:07 AM
