check out berryfication editor rezn's review of v2.0 here!
bbt’s Metro White|Black v2.0 by bbt Designs | Berryfication
thanks again rezn!
v2.0 RELEASED!
Some of the improvements and additions:
--------------------------------------------------------
**added hideable today area (caps+T shows, ESCAPE hides) -- swipe right from calendar items to show SMS/MMS, swipe left from SMS/MMS to show calendar items
**entirely recoded! removed thousands of lines of code and even redid some of the themes (namely 95xx/96xx/97xx/89xx versions). so this version is faster and more stable than ever!
**changed hide weather to caps+X
**changed menus/popups to white for Metro White
**changed font to grey for Metro Black to fix visibility issues in third party apps
Thanks goes out to Tellsells for being incredibly responsive and helpful in testing and refining this theme, to HoopzKid for also being incredibly helpful in porting this to the storm, to Aftashok for brainstorming and testing on a 9700 and StaticFX for his awesome findings into the wonders of what is possible with the right coding!
some unique features:
- nearly everything on the homescreen is hideable, making Metro highly customizable and wallpaper friendly!
- dock icon text is hideable via shortcut keys (see navigation preview below)
- today area is hideable (caps+T shows, ESCAPE hides) - swipe right from calendar to show SMS, left from SMS for calendar
- the dock FADES in/out when you show/hide respectively
- the weather icon FADES in/out when you show/hide respectively
- the weather icon has status text (app icon name)
- custom flash animation on focus of homescreen icons (the box around the icon flashes and then stays visible)
so here it is, Metro!
Also, there are 8 shortcuts on the homescreen (use the caps key for letters):
- N = bbm
- M = Messages
- $ = SMS/MMS
- L = Profiles
- @ = Connections
- Spacebar = QuickLaunch
- K = Calendar
- O = Options
And homescreen feature shortcuts
- J locks dock, U unlocks it
- X hides weather, Z shows weather
- * shows icon text, # hides icon text
- W hides dock underlay, # or * shows it
- T shows today area, ESCAPE hides it (swipe right from calendar for SMS, left from SMS for Calendar)
And with the Metro bundle, your device can adapt to your lifestyle!
Metro White's stark contrast of black text on white background for message lists, menus and popups make it ideal for use in bright settings.
Metro Black is ideal for nighttime or dark settings (cinemas or lowlit parties).
With its smooth grey fonts on black background, its easy on the eyes.
I worked very hard to make this theme work perfectly, I hope you all enjoy it!
Links are up!
if you are on a mobile device, go to themes>bundles to access the bundle (should be within the first 3 pages)
let me know what you think!
And feel free to post screenshots!
Enjoy!

Super job and thanks to all who helped test and get it ready!!

so you will only see weather slot text when you are actively on that slot, once you move away from it the icon text will fade out
links are up!
enjoy!!06-12-10 10:14 AMLike 0 - As mentioned I tested this theme. I really like the black version (but both are great).

it this is the case, l will still work as your calendar, because I have it set to capital L. so lowercase l will go to calendar, uppercase (caps+l) will do profiles!
likewise, p lowercase will still work, as you are using the alt button+p to get to connections (@)
I designed the key shortcuts to work with both dial from home enabled and disabled, so it should all still work for you!
hope that makes sense
let me know if you have any more questions
those are some beautiful wallpapers!Last edited by blackberrytourer; 06-12-10 at 11:06 AM.

You should purchase the transitions versions!06-12-10 12:16 PMLike 0 - thanks man!
glad you like it
what he said
transitions means there is a fade for menus and when launching/closing apps
non transitions means there is no fade animation when opening/closing menus or apps
let me know if you have more questions!

- bbt,
that city wallpaper that you have as a sample image is beautiful! if there any way you can somehow send me a link or something of that wallpaper? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!06-12-10 01:04 PMLike 0 - Just purchased the black version and have a question. When I go to my browser the letters in the bookmarks are white, and cannot see them unless I scroll over them, is this normal?
Also would u be able to make a small font version.
