Hey everyone. I am working on a new theme called MetroBerry. I couldn't think of a great name and had the idea that the theme has a bit of a modern feel to it, almost like an upscale part of town. The majority of the icons are skinned, with others to follow.

Here's a small set of screen shots:

There is a Today area, as well as a touch button between it and the icons that will open the BB menu.

Cost: Free, but donations accepted and appreciated and bandwidth isn't always cheap. This theme is hosted on the same server my website is based from.

OTA: http://www.nicholascooper.net/crackb...erry_final.jad

Wallpaper: http://www.nicholascooper.net/crackb...ywallpaper.jpg

Current Version: 1.00 650KB

Updates in version:
All icons are revamped, most converted mainly to grayscale with a few still colorized for importance.
Dialog boxes fully skinned.
All hidden images for call status skinned.
Font set to default BBAlphaSans due to theme size with font inclusion.
Changed the homescreen background to something different and less busy to flow better.
All PNG files for theme have been compressed to maximum abilities.

Known Bugs as of 3/19/09:
Mute button in call active screen disables after mute is activated, can be undone with mute button on top of BB to keep function.
Some icons revert to defaults after export of theme.
Going to 1 row will revert the wallpaper to default, link posted to wallpaper in jpg form so it can be stored on BB.

Issues not related to theme, but OS version:
color banding on images, transparent images have slightly darker tint on dialogs.

Just installed this and it looks great but I have seen one issue. In landscape view the black bar at the top stops about a 1/4" before the signal strength meter. I did a battery pull but it is still there, anyone else see this?

Ooh, I like it. I just wish it only had one row on the home screen and text on the home screen so WeatherBug could display a temp.

Very nice. I'm actually excited about this one.

the calendar does not work with 1 row?

Currently, all Today themes need to be set to the "2 row" view.

Couple of comments:
Contacts icon doesn't bounce like the others.

The order of the icons is screwy, in order to have the order on the 2 row view be the following:
Row 1 -Messages, SMS, Contacts, Calendar
Row 2 - Slacker, Flycast,Nav4all,BBM

I have to have the full view first two rows like this:
Row 1 - BBM, Slacker, SMS, Flycast
Row 2 - Nav4all, Messages, Calendar, Contacts

If that were fixed i would be very happy

It's there and happening to me too. I'm working on getting that fixed since it's annoying me a LOT.

I am trying to make it to where the theme doesn't modify any icons so you can keep your icons the same. I have a fairly unorthodox arrangement on my home screen and that part isn't working right for me either. As I get the bugs worked out I will update the OTA to reflect changes once I test it on my phone.

I have downloaded quite a few themes from all these Talented and creative theme designers...... but i must say that THIS is the only theme that lacks the bugs, i am running .99, and all the other great themes have a few bugs, mainly in my case with the phone app/caller id. This my friend, so far is bug free for me. Other than some design issues mentioned above.......great work.

Thank you
