Donation Link (completely optional...it's a FREE theme)
I have completely redesigned the home screen with TONS of hidden features (calling this new version CTU Console Advanced). (UPDATE: CTU Console Custom also has hidden buttons now!!) Also minor changes to the lock screen and some text updates.
There are three customizable icons (two to the left of the Today area and one below with static text [for WeatherBug]). Now...here is where the changes come in. All of these areas are now highlight-able/clickable:
CTU logo = Lock CPU = Calendar RAM = Messages TCP = Tasks Internet = Browser group of text under CTU logo = Options group of text over clock = Profiles Clock = Clock Display = Media Channel = Manage Connections Databank (you can only see "Data") = Contacts notification area = Compose Status Text Area = Applications List
It takes some getting used to, and to fully understand what each area of the screen does, you will just have to play around with it. A new zip file has been added below.
Enjoy!
P.S. I am still looking for someone to host an OTA link - let me know if you are willing...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am obsessed with the show 24 and have a man-crush on Jack Bauer, so I designed this theme to look like a CTU console from the show. Let me know what you think.
SEE ATTACHMENTS BELOW (Desktop Manager; NOT OTA):
Before we get to the screenshots, let me preface a few things.
1. I made this theme based on what I wanted to get out of a theme. I'm sure there will be people who want a non-today version, but again, I made this theme for me. Since the CB community has offered so much to me, i figured I would give back by sharing my creation, but I am not taking requests at this time (constructive critasism...yes, requests...no) - I just don't have the time... 2. I like the look of the default BB icons, so I have no intention of skinning the icons for this theme. 3. I cannot and will not take credit for the design/creation of the artwork. Most of what you see were images found via Google and "Frankensteined" together using Photoshop to fit my needs. If any of the images used in this theme belong to you, please let me know so due credit can be given.
Very nice work...looking forward to a download! Would you be able to post the .cod and .alx files on an upload site like megaupload or mediafire until OTA is available?

Just downloaded it and installed, running great so far I love the theme. Only complaint is the top 3 icons. I have all my messages combined, I would like to see this be customizable, is there any way?
Will you ever add the ability to change the top 3 static icons to maybe the 1st 3 of your top row instead of having them always be those three (not everyone uses those things). Other than that I love the theme. Thanks for the work!
I dont get the today screen in mine......
And the third icon is not on.
This is because ur messages and sms are combined like mine. I asked him about that in an earlier post no response yet. If you hit the calender you will have your "today" show up.

Correct, if you have your email and SMS inboxes set to be "Combined", the SMS/MMS icon will not show (change them to "Separate" to get it to show).
The Today area only shows when the appropriate icon is highlighted and there is new info. For Messages and SMS/MMS, new messages (not unread, but new - i.e. you have not entered the messaging inbox since they came to the phone) will be displayed when the corresponding icon is highlighted. Highlight (touch, don't click) the calendar icon to see the upcoming appointments set in your calendar.

OK, so I had a few extra minutes left on my lunch break and I felt bad about those of you who want the custom icons, so..............................I updated the zip file to include two versions of the theme (the original and a customizable version)!!! Check my original post for the new link!
The four home screen icons are set by the user in the CTU Console Custom version. They will mirror your top 4 icons in your main app screen. The original version (CTU Console) has the top 3 icons permanently set as Messages, Calendar, and SMS, but people wanted to change them for themselves...
Where is the custom version? The download I got only contains the original version. Great looking theme. One thing I noticed that when words are suggested as you type, they do not display in Gold text, they display Black until selected.
