Well it's been a while since I made a theme and to be honest I got tired of looking at what I was using. With that said, I got creative. I decided I wanted something simple yet somewhat refined. "CrimsonBerry" is the result.
SCREENSHOTS
Homescreen with navigation paths
App Screen
List screen
Phone Screen (both are similar)
FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS THEME
Spacebar launches QuickLaunch
0 key launches camera
$ key launches profiles
Custom battery with percentages
Custom Signal meter
Customizable font sizes on most screens ( Yeah I figured out how to let the end user set this)
Full resolution images on all screens.
Virtually no lag whatsoever
Three customizable icons on the homescreen
five fixed buttons on the homescreen with the time acting as a link to the clock for those who use it as an alarm clock.
Transitions from all screens
The colors n calling screens wow ... Love the backgrounds n graphics u used !
Would like to see a smaller font on the home screen for hidden today ... To see more of the emails n sms, calendar etc ...
Also would remove fixed options tabs on the bottom n put sms
I just press O for options
The only thing I don't like with fixed icons is that they don't highlight when u have a new message, like they would when u place one of those icons as your customized ones
Wish there were more customizable icons on homescreen n u didnt loose what icon was selected
As far as graphics n colors, backgrounds... Amazing job !

First off - great idea. Love the colors and the layout. I really like the bottom dock with text instead of icons. However, if I could suggest a couple of options?
A non-today version. I use BerryWeather for my home screen WP and the today text over top looks ugly. I attached a screen shot to demo.
I don't know i this is possible, but make the bottom 4, or at least the right two (MESSENGER and OPTIONS) user defined? I can see CALENDAR and MESSAGES being fixed, but I do not use MESSENGER and I do use QL for quick access to OPTIONS.
I always hesitate to say anything, as I do not want someone to think I am criticizing THEIR work. I don't even know how to theme, and truly don't have the time to learn right now. Please do not think this as that. This is a great theme, with a perfect choice for colors.
Anyhow, here's the screenie . . . THANKS for the theme!
I am really busy with me schedule of late but I will see what I can do. I don't see it as you guys being critical of my work. I see it as constructive criticism as we all have different needs.
Just bear with me please and thanks for what you have offered up.
I've been thinking about trying something others have done and shrink the Icons a little down the right side. The only issue with that is if I do that. They will have to be fixed to go any smaller than the standard 80x80. If I can't figure out a way to do that and actually use the Icons I have, I may see if I can slide another in there with those three. Lemme play around with it some and see what I can come up with.
Just wondering about notifications. The only ones that show up is email and sms but my facebook,bbm etc.. don't show on homescreen when i have new messages.
I'm about halfway done with the non-today version. I have it now with no icons down the right side but instead have a hidden dock with six user selectable icons on it. This will enable those with Berryweather to use their wallpaper if they so choose. I also have it set where when the dock is hidden, you can click your trackball and bring up the clock function. Added SMS/MMS open to the $ key as well. I should have this version posted later today and will do so in another thread.

Tone, I decided to try and make a hidden today with a hidden dock out of the other. I know it can be done. Bear with me a couple days since the weekend is over and hopefully I will have something working soon.
