FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASED THE BLUE THEME: I will NOT be able to exchange the blue version to the Ultimate version. Some people have paid to have their blue themes customized to black before this theme was even conceived, and I still do get the requests. The minimum customization charge is $5 (which people with the black customization have already paid) so I would be doing a disservice to them by doing free exchanges. Also, I've spent a considerable amount of time in addition just for this theme. I apologize for this inconvenience.
+1 on liking this version better than the original! I wish I had not jumped so quickly. It would be great if you allowed current customers to swap out using the "Switch to another version" option that shows on the My Apps page at Mobihand.

Doug, what is so different in this theme aside from the black walls that would take considerable amount of time, just curious?
Usually, working on the images take the longest. If you look carefully into it you would see much more than just the black walls. Just because the color changed from blue to black, it doesn't mean I can just "convert" everything into black. Colors need to go together (yes, even black) and deciding on them is also trial-and-error process. I had to recreate many images including:
-Battery meter, signal meter, wifi meter (they are all different in color including wifi which was blue but not the blue that went well with the black)
-Icon button backgrounds (on-state off-state, and in different sizes for different phones)
-Bottom dock background
-Top banner background (had to play with transparency as well to make it play nicely with the wallpaper)
-Hotspot backgrounds (on/off)
-Caret background images
-Background colors for several different states of list selection
-Background for the menu window
-Menu buttons
-Finding the perfect wallpaper (probably the biggest pain!)
-and others like updating SVG codes, adding an extra hotspots for non-Storm models, and testing.
I assure you that aside from the actual icons, about 90% of the theme has changed although it may not be so apparent.
Wallpaper friendly means the dock will hide away revealing most of the wallpaper. Also, whatever you assign for the home screen will show up in the lock screen.
Great theme. Love the snappiness of it. Looks great and goes well with my wallpapers. Custimaztion wise-how much to make one that takes the banner color out?
I must admit that in the past I have purchased some premium themes that I ended up using for a day and throwing away. This won't be one of them. Even on my 9700 this theme is better in person then in pictures.
Honestly, if you want your theme down custom, under your preference, have things done your way, this is the guy to ask. I've been tired of buying a theme and being picky about everyone of them. Buying themes here and there adds up.
So I decided to ask this guy to customize mine...and I must say, the theme I have right now is the one I will use in the long run! Now, I have what I want all in one theme!
