** Storm Halen: Van Halen Theme - OTA **
- All right I finally finished this up, it's not exactly perfect the way I want it, but I will be updating it. It's getting very close though. Here's some info on the theme for all 3 of you VH fans on here.
** Version 1.0 ** 03.17.09 (Download will say 2009.03.22.0102)
Features
1. It's a Hidden Today theme. So if you have your calendar, your SMS/MMS inbox, and/or your Message inbox in one of the first four positions, they will display four entries above the VH logo when you press them. My goal was to keep the home screen clean, I don't like clutter on them. The icons on the home screen bounce on being pressed.
2. The Apps List can be activated from the home screen by clicking the crossbar of the "H" on the Van Halen logo. I didn't want the whole screen to click, too easy to hit it accidentally when the phone is in your pocket or something.
3. I re-skinned all of the icons as a striped pick, ala Van Halen-style. A few I left alone, a few I've never seen so I ignored them. If you think I have missed one I should skin (besides the games) let me know. Some are obviously based on Ed's actual striped guitars, some I made from colors of the albums, and others I just...well made up.
Known Issues, Bugs, Etc.
1. There's a thin white bar above the apps, I have seen other themes with them. I don't like it, I need to figure out how to get rid of it. Not a big deal, but just a little annoying thing. Not sure if it's a Plazmic bug or not.
2. Some of the icons have been moved around, I like things in my own order. So look around for them if you can't find them, they are all there. I did remove the Instant Messaging folder and just moved those to the Apps folder. I never saw a reason for that IM folder.
3. I tried something different using small battery and connection icons, if you guys really hate them, I can change them.
4. "Hey man, I don't like the colors of that one pick, change them!" Tough, it was hard to come up with so many stripe ideas to replace all the icons. You're stuck with what I came up with.
FIXES/UPDATES - 03.17.09
* Imported and saved with with official Plazmic 4.7 version.
* App Center and Medium Profile icons now skinned and working.
* Skinned E-Mail Settings icon, everything should be skinned now.
* Changed font back to BBAlpha Sans (it looks better).
FIXES/UPDATES - 03.22.09
* I re-did a few of the pick icons that are real VH colors to make them a bit more realistic.
* The red/black/white pick I re-striped more exactly in Ed's pattern, and even relic'd it a bit like the paint wear on Ed's guitar. So you'll kinda see the paint chips now. Came out better than I expected.
* Black and white pick more in Ed's actual guitar pattern.
* Black and yellow pick more in Ed's actual guitar pattern.
* Fixed the Incoming Call screen, it reverted back to the default when I re-exported in the official Plazmic.
Here are some some screen shots of how it looks.

Not looking for them right now, I did this for fun and to learn. Maybe down the line.
