Default *LeatherBerry*

Well I completed my second theme over the weekend. The one good thing about having a couple weeks off work is I can spend some time making some themes which has been fun! I wanted to go the complete opposite of my first theme - Overkill by creating a very "professional" looking theme. I call it LeatherBerry!

I put together three versions -

LeatherBerry
Price - FREE


LeatherBerry-Executive
Price - $2.99 (on sale)


LeatherBerry-Executive Today
Price - $2.99 (on sale)


any thoughts and critiques would be very much appreciated! I want to keep improving the quality of the themes I'm making so any input is valuable!

Thanks.

i dig it ALOT..the only change i would have is the font.

if the font used was the same as JC uses..this would be much much cleaner..

either way..ill be purchasing ur "executive today" version shortly!

thanks for the feedback, if you notice anything else that could use some tweaking while using the Executive Today version let me know so that I can include them in any updates!

ok here are a few things on the FREE Version:

1. wording is cut off above the icons. ex: "Blackberry Messen"
2. folder icons are non viewable when trying to add an icon to a folder
3. grey icons with black highlights really dont work. things are hard to see.

thats it so far..doesnt seem to be laggy nor have any memory leaks. at boot im at 52.74mb and steady running between 52mb and 50mb, which is my daily norm!

Default Hidden Today with the FREE version

Question: I like the FREE version look, but can it be made with a Hidden Today? I'll pay for that version if you can create.

I was wondering if on the Leatherberry Executive version if you can change the main four icons or are they always going to be those four? Also are the words shortened on this version as stated above? Thanks

Two questions;

1. Any chance you'd consider making an "8 icon" version of both free & executive ?

2. Any chance of posting the wallpapers by them selves ?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! To answer a few questions -

- Yes the 4 buttons are customizable to which ever are your top four.

- I won't be making an 8-version, but as I am still in the learning stages of .svg I'm hoping to incorporate a sliding dock that will carry an additional 4-8

- I'm not sure how much updating I will be doing to the free Leatherberry as far as added features but you never know, time is a bit constraining right now, but possibly down the road

- The executive editions were down for a bit (I updated them and then simply/stupidly forgot to make them live again) but they should be up again.

- I will definitely release the Wallpapers, as well as some additional ones that work well with my themes as soon as I finish my website (I want to have a couple more quality themes available before launch)

let me know of any and all bugs and suggestions you may have (it might take a bit to incorporate/improve everything, but I'll do my best). I want to make sure that my themes are of high quality.

Thanks,
Tony

Default App Question for Leatherberry

Love the theme, the only issue I'm having is when I download a new app, there is no icon for it (even in the downloads folder). If I change themes and then change back it's there, but I just wanted to see if anyone else was having that issue. Definitely enjoy everything else about this theme...
