***UPDATE - This theme works best for 4.6 OS devices. Download the Tweaked2 theme for 5.0 devices***
This is my first theme. Inspired by russnash's hurricane theme, which was ever so close to what I wanted, I set out to create my "perfect" theme. As the name suggests, it's the standard precision theme with a few adjustments here or there to clean up the homescreen and let me see my background better.
This theme requires the 5.0.0.230/238 OS, or an 8520.
Features:
-Background shows up on both the home screen and app screen, can be changed to user preferences.
-Homescreen banner size reduced to be the same size as the app screen banner.
-App screen banner is translucent like the home screen banner.
-Unselected icons have no background on the home screen.
-No application name shown when hovering over an icon. (There's now a version which does display this, by request.)
-Today Version: New messages/appointments appear when messages and calendar are highlighted, and you can scroll up to view them.
-All fonts behave per normal and are sized according to system settings rather than hardcoded in the theme.
Screenies:
Bottom dock version, with customized (IE not the included) background:
Today version with default background:
Calendar entries shown when calendar icon is selected:
Put your weather app (I use weathereye) in the seventh icon position for this to work. You can go to the weather by rolling to the right when you have profiles selected.
Nothing fancy, but I like it and am happy to share. If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, or would like to see this theme in a different style, I'm all ears.
hi, after installing 5.0.0.238 OS on my 8520 the call list has horrible white background and in the active call screen the backgroun is so dark that i can�t read the name... Can you help me? I love your theme, but these aspects...
hugokris, i think that the problem you're having is related to the 5.0 beta. i've got a similar thing going on with my curve. this should look fine in 4.6 or whatever the 8500 runs normally.
I don't have the truncated date but the font on the date is different on the main screen than the home screen. You can see the different font also in bahamot's screenshot.
At the time I think I had some issues with the font. I'll put out a version that fixes this. I recommend checking back and downloading again often - as this is my first theme, I'm learning a lot as I go and polishing/adding features.
Fonts are now fixed, and the app date font is the same as the homescreen font, slightly reduced in size. Download whatever version you're using for the fix.
I've also created a one-off version of the standard version with the default blue/black background on the app screen, by request. personally I think it's awful, but apparently some folks like it.
Here's list of font I can find on Option->Screen/Keyboard:
BBAlpha Sans
BBAlpha Serif
BBCapitals
BBCasual
BBClarity
BBCondensed
BBMillBank
BBMillBankTall
BBSansSerif
BBSansSerifSquare
BBSerif
BBSerifFixed
BBSimpChinese
BBTradChinese
Font is set to BBAlpha Sans with font size 9 and plain style. I've never changed the font, so I assume this is the default one.
ok, i figured out the problem. update again, it should work properly now. i wouldn't have discovered this bug until tomorrow - it's still tuesday here. thanks for the help.
Sorry tspderek, I just found another font issue on the theme.
I downloaded the Today With Application Name Weather version, and the application name is truncated even on BBM application name. The BBM is written as "BlackBerry Mess...".
The date is fine though.
Thanks heaps for creating this excellent theme even if you won't fix the issue. Really appreciate it.
