3G 8900 Theme with Slot Navigation by RedZapper
This theme is FREE!
Theme designed and created by RedZapper.
Icons designed by Jonathan Lundstr�m.
Many thanks to Jonathan for permission to use his icons in creating this theme.
Version 2 is here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f129/3g...r-free-447163/
A derivative of the original 3G theme. The original thread had several versions already so I am releasing this version under a new thread.
FEATURES:
- Icons modeled after the black iphone 3G
- Fixed bottom dock
- Optional hidden today plus
- Center banner slot for your favorite weather app
- QuickLaunch icon
- All banner slots are clickable and start a pre-defined blackberry application.
Clicking on the respective banner slot does the following:
- The battery meter shuts down the blackberry
- The time slot launches the clock
- The network slot launches wi-fi setup
- The signal meter launches manage Connections
Again, thanks to my testers - especially jostrander and RedHoodJoker.
I almost scrapped this release but they liked this iteration enough to keep asking about it so I decided to release it.
NOTE: This version is for the 8900.
You need to install this from your blackberry by accessing this page thru your blackberry browser.
Screenshots are from the bold since I don't have a curve.
There will be two versions: one with hidden today and one without. Both will have a quicklaunch icon.
The QL icon balances the banner nicely and I figure those without QL can simply ignore the button.
OTA:
3G Navi With Hidden Today
3G Navi Without Today

I like how you can see the weather on the lock screen, even if it doesn't update.
I might even have to buy quicklaunch too
Just one request, would it be possible to scroll down to the icon tray when the battery, clock, weather or network buttons are selected. At the moment i can only scroll directly down to the icon try if the profile or quicklaunch buttons are highlightedLast edited by spirez; 08-01-09 at 06:26 AM.

I had to make navigation trade-offs in this version. Each icon could either navigate up to the banner or navigate up to the today section. (The today section itself can only navigate up to one icon - here, the profile icon.)
- If I give an icon the ability to nav up to the banner, it loses the ability to highlight items in the today section.
- If I give an icon the ability to highlight today entries, it can only nav up to the profiles icon from there.
Since the benefit of the hidden today is the ability to see and use the today section, I have it set up so that the first 5 icons can navigate to the today section and from the today section up to the profile icon. Those with multiple mailboxes and SMS on the home screen will appreciate this.
I have, however, updated the No Today version so that each icon can navigate up to a banner slot.
Oh, and I have no idea if the weather icon will update on the lock screen. If anyone finds out let me know

For example: I locked my device today around 9:53am, and left it locked until 10:35am (my weather updates every half hour, but I gave it a few more minutes just in case). I checked the weather icon, and did not see a change. I unlocked my device, scrolled to my weather application to see on the bottom: "Error Updating 5 minutes ago". I hit the update button and it updated. Not sure if it was a coincidence.
Too bad if it wasn't, it's such an awesome idea!!!!
Getting used to the navigation myself. I would have preferred it to scroll to Quicklaunch automatically instead of the profiles icon, but I know that there are plenty of users that don't utilize the QL.
Thanks again, redzapper! I know everything you do has a reason and is always thought through.
