Default iTour (Hidden Today+Weather Icon) (Free)



(08/24/09)
- small changes on both regular and precision versions
- both version now also have a bannerless version (invisible homescreen banner)
- please redownload for any new fixes!!!

OTA Downloads


iTour
iTour Bannerless


iTour Precision
iTour Precision Bannerless

Application Screen


Navigation Technique


icon 1 = weather
icon 2-7 = bottom dock
icon 2-6 = goes up to today area
today area = goes up to profiles
icon 7 = goes up to icon 1 (weather)

so you can easily access the today area from the bottom 5 icons, and if there is no today content it will go directly to profiles. the only way to access the weather icon (icon #1) is to go up from icon 7 (bottom #6). i think this is working better than the last way because you dont have to travel through the weather icon every time you want to goto the profiles.

(08/17/09)
- changed the location of the weather icon to more in the corner below the banner.
- added a selection highlight for it as it was hard to know when it was selected other than the status text.
- widened the status text area so it shouldnt cut off for longer texts anymore.
- you can now select the today area items from the bottom 6 icons.
- have not updated the precision version yet, just iphone icon version.

(08/16/09)
okay given the interest i am releasing it "as-is" right now. that means, there could very well be some bugs. there could also be room for improvment. so lets consider this an "open beta" and everyone can give their input. not going to guarantee you will get what you want, but hopefully this can be polished off into a nice clean theme. once this one is done i plan on making revisions with different icon sets.

heres a simple theme i have been making for myself. its mostly stock precision theme. the one obvious change is the use of iphone icons. to all the haters, no i do not want my blackberry to look like an iphone, i do however want to use the wide variety of high quality icons made for said phone. i like the contrasting colors of them it makes it easier to navigate as opposed to all icons looking the same for the most part.

ive also added a weather icon spot on the homescreen. well it can be anything you want really, but it is intended for use as weather icon. there is no visible highlight selection for the weather icon, but you can still navigate to it in order to see the status text. i thought the large black selection box looked odd in the middle of the screen.

ive also added a hidden today area which shows 6 items when hovered over the corresponding icon.

heres a few pictures to give you an idea:

*screenshots have been updated*

Very nice so far! I think the iphone icons look great on a blackberry.

Runs smooth and looks clean. Cant ask for much more.

I also like the fact that Apple always uses the high contrast icons! Really wonderful what you have done!

@mikej7 @sinfony

ive added an alternate version using the stock precision icons. i believe that is what you were asking for. you both mentioned you would pay so ive also added a donation button incase you feel so inclined.

thanks for the kind words

not sure what you mean by that? do you have your sms and email inboxes set to separate? if you dont know what im talking about. open your messages > menu > options >general options > sms and email inboxes > separate
