bbt’s Metro White|Black v2.0 by bbt Designs | Berryfication
thanks again rezn!
v2.0 RELEASED!
Some of the improvements and additions:
--------------------------------------------------------
**added hideable today area (caps+T shows, ESCAPE hides) -- swipe right from calendar items to show SMS/MMS, swipe left from SMS/MMS to show calendar items
**entirely recoded! removed thousands of lines of code and even redid some of the themes (namely 95xx/96xx/97xx/89xx versions). so this version is faster and more stable than ever!
**changed hide weather to caps+X
**changed menus/popups to white for Metro White
**changed font to grey for Metro Black to fix visibility issues in third party apps
Thanks goes out to Tellsells for being incredibly responsive and helpful in testing and refining this theme, to HoopzKid for also being incredibly helpful in porting this to the storm, to Aftashok for brainstorming and testing on a 9700 and StaticFX for his awesome findings into the wonders of what is possible with the right coding!
some unique features:
- nearly everything on the homescreen is hideable, making Metro highly customizable and wallpaper friendly!
- dock icon text is hideable via shortcut keys (see navigation preview below)
- today area is hideable (caps+T shows, ESCAPE hides) - swipe right from calendar to show SMS, left from SMS for calendar
- the dock FADES in/out when you show/hide respectively
- the weather icon FADES in/out when you show/hide respectively
- the weather icon has status text (app icon name)
- custom flash animation on focus of homescreen icons (the box around the icon flashes and then stays visible)
so here it is, Metro!
Also, there are 8 shortcuts on the homescreen (use the caps key for letters):
- N = bbm
- M = Messages
- $ = SMS/MMS
- L = Profiles
- @ = Connections
- Spacebar = QuickLaunch
- K = Calendar
- O = Options
And homescreen feature shortcuts
- J locks dock, U unlocks it
- X hides weather, Z shows weather
- * shows icon text, # hides icon text
- W hides dock underlay, # or * shows it
- T shows today area, ESCAPE hides it (swipe right from calendar for SMS, left from SMS for Calendar)
And with the Metro bundle, your device can adapt to your lifestyle!
Metro White's stark contrast of black text on white background for message lists, menus and popups make it ideal for use in bright settings.
Metro Black is ideal for nighttime or dark settings (cinemas or lowlit parties).
With its smooth grey fonts on black background, its easy on the eyes.
I worked very hard to make this theme work perfectly, I hope you all enjoy it!
Links are up!
if you are on a mobile device, go to themes>bundles to access the bundle (should be within the first 3 pages)
let me know what you think!
And feel free to post screenshots!
Enjoy!
Bbt

- Where do you go for bundle? The ones I see are black or white?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-12-10 12:59 PMLike 0 - Purchased Black Version, I think its really nice. Love colour combos. Wish I could have found bundle package, 2 for 1 because on a couple of pages, I couldn't see some text. I'll run for a while to see how it works out. I got no transitions version as that process has gotten old to me. Hope battery life is good and I am looking forward to updates and a great theme. Thanks for your hard work and creativity.

when you are done it should take you to your cart and show each theme but a total of $3.06-12-10 02:29 PMLike 0 - Since I have already purchased black version and didn't see a way at first for bundle option, can I get white version at discount rate?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-12-10 03:15 PMLike 0 - when you get onto the mobihand page for the theme, look below the photos of the theme and you will see the bundle place that shows both the black and white theme and says "buy them both for $3 (or something like that) click on that to add to cart and then it will bring up another overlay screen where you choose your theme types for each black and white theme. You can choose different options for each theme if you want, like transitions or no transitions, Colorful or Blue, etc.
when you are done it should take you to your cart and show each theme but a total of $3.

- Great theme(s)!!! Mind sharing that wallpaper of that cityscape? I think I had this at one time or maybe it was one of the sample wallpapers on the Tour. In any case, for some reason I deleted it...maybe because I couldn't find the perfect theme suited for it....until now!!! Thanks for sharing!!!06-12-10 07:02 PMLike 0

yeah i noticed this.. that is really too bad.. kind of makes bundles inconvenient..
but i have no other way of doing it!
ive had a bunch of people PMing for coupons (they buy one version on the phone and then I give a coupon for the other version)
seems inefficient but at least it is working06-13-10 12:26 AMLike 0 - bought this theme.. really recommended for those who want to show their wallpaper and at the same time have a nice transition with the apps.. features like scrollable dock.
i always like when you are able to hide the dock, with bbt's version not only you can slide to show/hide but the fade effect is smooth!
everything else is great! i just wish the icons will be a little bigger or the text from the icons easier to see.. will be more than happy!
a must add to your collection!Last edited by BLINC; 06-13-10 at 04:33 PM.

i will be releasing a version with status text (shows the names of icons on homescreen in big font) later this week, for free for those who have already purchased the theme!
so look out for thatLast edited by blackberrytourer; 06-13-10 at 04:42 PM.
06-13-10 04:39 PMLike 0 - I made a post last night and I see it was removed and the postive ones remained. Is that the way it works. That's cruel for others who may want the truth.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-13-10 05:12 PMLike 0 - thanks Aftashok, I do too! you were really helpful through the process!
to everyone, I've posted up a poll, to see how many people would like a non hidden today version
if a lot of people want one, I will make one!
thanks
