Default BoldStorm by TunedFish

This is the same layout as my other theme, Precision Zen 10 icon Hidden Today WB, but is cleaner and with Bold icons. There are others like it but I like the layout, which features 10 home screen icons, a place for WB, and an optional Hidden Today Screen. Also, I made the Active Call fonts bigger and added due to user requests a shortcut to the Clock by clicking the time on the home screen and a shortcut to the Applications menu by clicking the center of the home screen, just like the default theme. Other than that, its a simple fast theme. All the icons light up like the Bold, except for the Applications,Downloads, Games, Setup, and Instant Messaging folders, but that is a Plazmic limitation; however, you can add a default folder and that will light up. Since those folders and some third party apps don't light up, I added a BB indicator under the Applications Menu icons. Also I added a donations link in case you want to donate to me and I will then donate part of the funds to forum member Sakuran who also takes donation and is providing the OTA server.

Donation (in case you really like the theme and can spare some change)



BoldStorm 10 icon HiddenToday WB-Blue BB Backgrounds
BoldStorm NonToday WB-Blue BB Backgrounds

BoldStorm HiddenToday WB-BlackGrey

BoldStorm HiddenToday WB BlackGrey with BBwallpaper

BoldStorm HiddenToday WB-Leather
BoldStorm NonToday WB-Leather

Update 3/29/09: Due to hopefully temporary problems, I added zip files for the themes. The Black theme now has grayish highlights for app screen, messages, and other changeable blue buttons were made gray.

I really like the look of the theme here, but the size is quite large. Many of the themes being put out now hover around 300 kbs or less. Both of these versions ring in at over 600 kbs. That just seems like a lot. Any idea why?

I like the theme though, it looks great. I love the look of the Bold's glowing icons.

One thing that adds to the size is the wallpapers. This theme has 4 wallpapers: Home Screen, Applications, Call Screen, and Lock Screen. I really like the default wallpaper, but it was too faded. So, I adjusted the colors and I liked the vibrant look.



I'm going to make one with black wallpaper and that should cut the size down to around 400k. Also, I think I will look pretty cool.

Sick theme! I've been waiting for a bold theme for a while. If you have a chance, a 5 icon version would be amazing.

how big of a file is it? and anyway you could make the date a shortcut to the calendar which displays on hidden today upcoming entries. Also, making the signal strength go to manage connections would be great? Perhaps a battery percentage using Stormeter? Looks great as it is now, just think those few suggestions would really add to it.

you should use this wallpaper threw out the theme, it would really set it off:

Here is how it looks with the theme:



Here is the link for the wallpaper:
