I'm sad that no-one has appreciated your almost excellent theme! Thank you very much, for I was just looking for something like this, except that its even better! The ability to hide homescreen icons is super cool, though may I point out that the only slight glitch noticeable is that when you move the 'cursor' rapidly from one homescreen icon to another, they sorta 'wobble' a bit. Its not a big issue at all, but just wanted to point out what I felt was preventing it from being one of the best themes ever! Will look forward to your reaction.

Thanks man :O)

Ya i know about the wobble...the reason that it happens (i think) is because I made it so that you are able to hide the dock by scrolling up at anytime...

Because of this as you scroll across it tries to slightly undock itself...hence the wobble...would love to know a fix for this but i think that the only way to avoid this is by changing the order of navigation button, but then i would loose the ability to dock it instantly...you would scroll to the end/beginning of the 8 icons in order to undock it which should solve the problem...

any help would be appreciated...thanks again

In that case I think its perfectly fine. Why fix something if it ain't broken, right? I thank you once again for making such a useful theme! Any effort to further improve it in any way possible will be icing on the cake!

this is in my opinion the best of any themes with the stock icons

The icons need to show the red notification star. That's all I can find wrong.

@Boosted
The icons DO show the red notif icons. At least on mine (OS 5.0.0.100). Not only that, the first line of message contents appear on the Homescreen (Today style) if the cursor is on the newly received message icon. How cool is that?

@rasta321
Hi buddy! One thing I can suggest is to improve the speed of cursor movement across the icons, as they lag a bit if moved fast. Not a big issue though. Glad to see that others are also finding your cool theme useful!

One weird thing I'm getting is that the new mail asterisk" is not clearing from the mail icons after I open any new mails. This is persisting even after a battery pull.

Not seeing this behavior on other themes.

ya man...i know about that issue...its pretty flaky but it does go away but I am not sure why it happens because I didn't mess with any of the alert icons...but if anyone knows how or why this happens would love to know

Hey rasta, great theme you have here! I was wondering if you could do one without the carrier name?
