**Transitions to and from all screens
**New item notification recolored

**Redesigned Incoming and Active Call Screens
!!UPDATE!!
Version 2.1
Updated Features
**Correct "HUGE" font issue!! The fonts are now user definable!!

OTA can be found at MyBBOTA.com Download - Zen Plusn 2.1
Version 2.0.1 Features
This update corrected several mirror bugs with the first version. The changes are:
**Corrected clickable clock - it now highlights when focused on
**Fixed the scroll dock. It no longer loops back on itself. Also, all icons on the scroll dock are linked to Theme Button 5 which is the last icon on the left side dock.
**Changed the underlay for the weather slot. I removed the big ugly box and replaced it with the small blue dot for a more polished look.
**Changed the dialog box background and font color. The text is now readable.
**Changed fonts to match through out the theme
**Extended Status Area on Home Screen to allow Application Names to fully display.
**Redesigned the banners on both the Home and Application Screens.
**Adjusted location of "My Number" on the Active Call screen to prevent the number from bring cut off.
ADDITIONS
**Weather Slot on lockscreen
**QuickLaunch Hotspot added. Press the SPACE BAR to bring it up.
Updated Screen Shots below.
Special Notes:
I added a small blue dot underlay to the Home Screen Icons. This helps show the icon selected if the App Icon doesn't change (like foursquare). This underlay carries over to the Application Screen as well. Manage Connections, and Clock Hotspots have a normal blue underlay when focused on.
To bring the Hidden Dock up use $
To hide the Hidden Dock use ESCAPE
The Home Screen is Wallpaper friendly. I tried to space the icons out enough to allow good visibility of the wallpaper as well.
I did redesign the other backgrounds such as the Active Call BG and Incoming Call BG.
Only the four icons on the left are linked to the Hidden Today area.
I spent a good amount on this theme but if you have suggestions or notice any bugs, please let me know!!
Theme can be loaded on to your BB via Desktop Manager using the ZIP file attached.
Special Thanks to:
Matt Ginsberg (Matt Ginsberg | Web and Graphic Designer | Blackberry Theme Developer) and "Big Papa" for their help with the Home Screen
Thanks also goes to the community at Blackberry Theme Lab for their provided feedback as well as those here for your continuing feed back!

Sorry that it is lagging on you; hopefully with some of the tweaks I'm working on with 2.0.1 the lag will disappear. Please let me know if you have any other problems and please don't forget to rate this bad boy (just a small favor I am asking for
)

Although I agree with omen boy and the font throughout should be user defined set in our default screen and keyboard option!!
AND THE QUICLAUNCH WORKS GREAT!!! that has become standard equipment in themes now days!! works good!! very responsive, once again GREAT JOB!!05-22-10 01:23 PM - Great, I'm glad QuickLaunch works. I just didn't have anyway of testing it so I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I guess since more than one person is asking I can make a version of 2.0.1 that has user defined fonts. Other than those 2 things I'm thinking that 2.0.1 is the final version of this theme unless there is another major change such as the adding of 6.0 OS style icons or something.Hey Ben I downloaded the theme and I REALLY like it!
