Default NEW - 10 Icon Glow Theme - Multiple Versions - OTA

Please donate if you like the themes!


The theme currently comes in six versions: 10 Icon Glow Sliding Top Dock, 10 Icon Glow, Glow "L", Glow Hidden "L" (both of the "L" themes also come in a WeatherBug specific version), Glow Stack and Glow Stack WeatherBug. All versions utilize the BlackBerry Bold's icon set, so most icons "glow" when they are touched. Check out the screen shots below.

The 10 Icon Glow Sliding Top Dock and 10 Icon Glow themes are exactly the same, except the 10 Icon Glow theme has 10 permanent icons on the home screen while the 10 Icon Glow Sliding Top Dock theme has 5 permanent icons at the bottom of the home screen and 5 icons on a sliding, hidden dock at the top of the home screen.

The Glow "L" and Glow Hidden "L" themes are exactly the same, except the Glow "L" theme has 10 permanent icons on the home screen while the Glow Hidden "L" theme has 6 permanent icons along the left edge of the home screen and 4 icons on a sliding hidden dock at the bottom of the home screen. The WeatherBug specific version allows WeatherBug to be displayed in the top right corner of the home screen, just under the banner. WeatherBug must the first icon on your application screen.

The Glow Stack and Glow Stack WeatherBug themes are exactly the same, except the WeatherBug theme has a spot in the upper right corner for WeatherBug where the hi/lo temp is always displayedWeatherBug must the first icon on your application screen). Both themes feature 10 icons on a sliding dock at the bottom of the screen that slides off the screen when the arrow above the icons is touched.


Features:
  • 10 user-defined icons on the home screen
  • Fast, fully working hidden docks "slide" 5 icons onto the top of the home screen (10 Icon Glow Sliding Top Dock theme only) or 4 icons onto the bottom of the home screen (Glow Hidden "L" theme only)
  • "Clicking" the middle of the home screen between the two rows of icons launches the application menu just like on the Default Zen theme
  • "Clicking" the time in the banner launches the Clock application
  • "Clicking" the signal strength indicator in the banner launches the Manage Connections application
  • Two hidden buttons in the banner to launch the Messages and SMS/MMS applications (Messages button is left of the clock, SMS/MMS button is right of the clock) (NOT A FEATURE OF THE GLOW STACK THEME)
  • "Clicking the battery indicator in the banner launches the Options application (GLOW STACK THEME ONLY)
  • Hidden today feature, allowing you to see up to 10 New Emails/SMS's or Calendar entries
  • Professional, clean and simple appearance with the BlackBerry Bold icons
  • Keep WeatherBug on the home screen and have access to temp information (10 Icon Glow "L"/Hidden "L" WeatherBug themes only)
  • Free!!


Donations are always appreciated! If you donate, I'll customize the theme for you (portrait and landscape lock screens, minor tweaks to layout or color choice, etc.)!

__________________________________________________ _______________

UPDATE 8/5

Ok, at long last all versions of the theme are now compatible with .151!

Let me know if you have any problems.

__________________________________________________ _______________

UPDATE 4/2

I just released a different version of the theme. The new version comes in two styles (Regular and WeatherBug), and features 10 Icons on a single dock at the bottom of the home screen. All 10 Icons slide off the screen towards to bottom when the little arrow above the icons is touched.

The new version also features different hidden buttons in the banner than the original themes. Clicking the clock still launches the Clock application and clicking the signal strength still launches Manges Connections, but in this theme I've added a hidden button where the battery is that launches Options. This theme does not have the hidden Messages and SMS buttons that the other themes have.

Hope you like the latest version, and let me know what you think.

Great job on this! Slide is fluid, glow is sweet, and best of all the file size is under 400KB.

Does the top sliding dock disappear for everyone else by just touching the center of the screen? Is that a bug on my end or is that intentional?

[Note, I'm using the last release of your theme, not this newest one]

This was intentional. Do people like it this way? Would it be better to have the dock slide after touching a different spot on the screen?

Works fine for me. Only other way I think would be cooler is if you could just swipe the dock to the left to hide it.. but I don't know how feasible that is
