Default Zen with Hidden Today
- If you're looking for a theme that is different and more functional than the default zen theme, without changing things too much, then check out the themes I've made (screen shots below). There are 8 variations of the theme, each with the hidden today feature enabled. For those that don't know, the "hidden today" feature allows you to display your calendar entries and unread emails and text messages on the home screen, but only after you "highlight" the calendar/messages/sms icon.
Some of the themes have completely transparent icons and banners, some don't.
Some of the themes have icons with text underneath, some don't.
One theme is meant for WeatherBug users, with a spot for the WeatherBug icon in the top banner with the text always displayed underneath it.
The themes aren't revolutionary, but they add some functionality to the default theme without changing anything else. Check out the screen shots below! Enjoy!
Donations appreciated, but certainly not required. The more donations I receive, the more willing I'll be to make alternative versions to meet everyone's needs.

UPDATE 8 - 3/18
I've updated all the themes using the final version of Plazmic. This should eliminate some of the issues, but others still remain. Most importantly, the final version of Plazmic eliminates the overlapping text problem that plagued a few of my themes. Other than that, I have not made any changes.
Enjoy the updated versions, and please report back with any problems.

- At the request of a couple people in this thread, I'm posting this theme I created. It's just the default theme with the hidden today feature enabled. I'm sure many of these have been posted, but here it is anyway.
I can't host this OTA, so if anyone has that capability please let me know and I'll send the files.02-24-09 03:44 PMLike 0 -

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-24-09 06:01 PMLike 0 - I'm a Storm noobee. So please bear with me if I make a dumb request.
I thought about trying some MacOS theme, but why? This default Storm theme is clean and simple, which is what I prefer anyway.
A request. Is it possible to show the items in TASK when I highlight the Task icon or the Memopad?02-24-09 06:26 PMLike 0 -

- Glad you all are mostly happy with the theme. It's the theme I've been using essentially since Plazmic was released because it meets my needs exactly without changing too many things.
I'm aware of the text issue on the home screen, where the text of some icons (eg Blackberry Messenger or Visual Voice Mail) is not automatically shortened, which can lead to the text overlapping with adjacent icons. I'm working on a solution to this, and hopefully I'll have an updated version where this does not occur. I'll post any updates in this thread.
If anyone else notices any issues with the theme, please post them in this thread as well, or send me a PM.Last edited by cozper; 02-24-09 at 11:46 PM.
02-24-09 08:58 PMLike 0 - I have completed a totally see-through theme (banner and icons are see through). I will add the desktop installation files in the first post, and I am working on an OTA for this alternate version as well.
Keep in mind that this new version still suffers from the same problem as the original with regard to long icon text on the home screen. Still working on a solution for this.
Also, a 4 icon home screen will be available tomorrow. Sorry for the delay in this...I had to celebrate Mardi Gras, and I'm not currently in condition to be working on new themes.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com02-25-09 08:25 AMLike 0 - Best theme so far. Finally I have one I can use, after trying about 20 others. Only one very small issue. On the home screen there is a tiny space between the banner with all the indicators and the very top of the screen. It shows up as a thin line. This is just about the only thing different from the default. Not a big deal but thought I would point it out. Thanks for the awesome work!02-25-09 09:45 AMLike 0
