No worries. Do you know if this is compatible with 4.5 OS and the 83xx/88xx devices?

I have to admit. I know absolutley nothing about the compatiblities for os' that's way too techy for me. I can ask someone who would know, if you still need an answer!

I have given it a try but it does not seem to hide the dock, or show the background for some reason.

What is a "theme"? What is a hidden dock? Sorry for asking these basic questions but I'm curious to know what you are talking about. I love fooling around with my BB Curve 8330 and this sounds interesting.

There's a program out that's called "Plazmic Theme Builder" it allows you to build themes for your phone to your specific liking. Your able to customize almost everything...message icons, cursor color, fonts, dialog boxes etc. This takes care of the theme question.

Composer comes with the plazmic download it's free though, this is where you create a hidden dock. A hidden dock is where the icons on your screen are hidden when focused on a different icon off the dock...like the profiles icon. Kind of confusing sounding.

This tutorial really has nothing to do with messing around on your phone it's work done on a computer then loaded on your phone so you can use something that you created just for your YOURSELF!!!! If you look at my signature you can see "my free themes" I have a few hidden docks so maybe you'll understand better if you see!

Sorry if any of that was confusing!

I have a theme I made that I really want to add a hidden dock to but this tutorial does not work for it.

Im having some trouble with this.
Im trying to do it for my 8310, unfortunately the navigation tab has only 2 choices: vertical layout or horizontal layout in relation to the profiles icon so i can neither find nor select "No Memory"

Additionally when i upload the svg it informs me that
The SVG file: [file location] may not be rendered correctly for the following reasons:
Duration is not defined

That repeats 10 times (I have 5 buttons so 1 for each code)

Ive gone through the steps 3 time just to make sure its not my fault

Im a total noob at this stuff so if anybody can help Id be grateful

Other than that the tutorial seems very good. obviously ill be much happier with it when i can actually finish using it.
