Cool Invisible Keyboard Official theme.

Hey all. I am the creator of a product called the SmartestCover for the Storm. The SmartestCover is an "invisible" keyboard that goes on the screen of the device like a screen protector. It is optically clear and makes typing much easier. Head over to Blackberry Storm screen cover to see pictures or Tactile Feedback For Your Storm | BerryGurus to see some pictures.
I am looking for someone(s) do make a theme(s) that would be used as an official theme for our product. After talking in the office we thought it would be awesome to have a theme that placed the icons on the home page to correspond with the location of the virtual keyboard. This way the tactile guidance system would be dual functioning.
In return we would like to give away five packs of the covers for the top 5 themes as chosen by the users here, and a lifetime supply to the top theme maker as chosen by us. We will also create a page to showcase all of your themes on our website, and if you have your own website we would gladly put up a link for you. Please feel free to use the contact form on our site to get a hold of us and we will check back here daily to see your awesome creations.

Thank you!

I'm not a theme builder, but it looks as if some theme builders might be able to build this...but would need a screencover first.

Yes. Precision placement of the icons will require some kind of template. There are looks like 20 "dots" for the surepress version, seems like a bit too many icons to put on the homescreen unless in a hidden dock. The querty would be too small to deal with probably.

Hi there,

I have a question about this product. If I buy this for my storm, does it work on all operating systems (ie 5.0.0.191?) and secondly, if I get the portrait version what happens when I switch my phone to landscape mode, does it not work properly then?

When I look at the picture of the product I see bumps on the product which I am taking it are used to feel the keyboard, the problem is why aren't they spaced the same size as the keyboard?

Thanks
tom

Tom, I am not sure what you mean about the spacing? The tactile feedback may look distorted in the pictures but it is machined to correspond with the keys of the virtual keyboard. We have not confirmed 5.0 software yet. I will be updating after the holiday and will let you know.
In response to icon placement. I don't think the theme would need 20+ icons. Perhaps there could be 4 bumps per icon if it were the portrait version. As for landscape it would take some creativity to make the keyboard bumps and icons align some how.
That is why I am reaching out to the best hoping for the best.
