Minimax - Ultra-minimalistic OS6 theme with maximal functionality Compatible with any 480x360 device (9650/9700/9780) running OS6
Minimax was initially meant to be a theme for myself and a few friends with two goals: to explore how minimalistic yet functional I could build a theme, and to plan out a large set of hotkeys that could mostly replace QuickLaunch in my daily usage, but could be easily picked up by others as well.
Since I am quite satisfied with how it turned out, I decided to polish it up for release to the community. This is my first released theme, do enjoy and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Features:
24 hotkeys (Tried to make them as logical as I could - apps that need to be switched between frequently as one-key hotkeys, others as shift+key combinations. Do try to remember some of them if you can, you might find that you almost never need to even go to the app menu!)
Small memory footprint
Extremely wallpaper-friendly
6.1 icons
FAST - No transitions!
Ample space for up to 5 notification icons
Pixel-perfect alignment
Default wallpaper has hotkey list for ease of initial familiarization
Hidden button on home screen which launches 1st app in your app menu, scroll up to Signal meter to launch Manage Connections

Thanks:
lucky45 & sabisgeek for extracting and resizing 6.1 icons
other minimalist themers whose work has inspired me in the past, especially dagobah30, Ducaticorse and wu-wei
Weather Slot Version:
In this version, weather slot corresponds to 1st app in app menu and hidden button corresponds to 2nd app - it's below the weather slot.
25% Transparent Banner Background Versions:
I personally prefer the ultra-clean look of having no banner backgrounds at all, but as requested, here they are for use with brighter wallpapers.
Is this Zen-style? Are the icons hidden? How to show them? Can you pls provide screenshot? Nice work, I think I'm gonna use it. And most of all, thanks for making it free!
Some icons, particularly the messages envelope, clock, browser, and media folder aren't very crisp...edges aren't smooth and the lines inside the mail folder aren't straight.
Any possibility for a fix?

Great theme! Been looking for something like this for awhile! Took me a bit to remember which keys are what, but since I use the application shortcuts enabled , it wasnt a stretch... good job and wondering if you'll come out with another theme... Hopefully keeping the same key shortcuts! Thanks for a great job!

I'll trade you the correct Icons for 480x360 devices and the transparent picture so the connections icon won't turn blue for your knowledge of how to get Universal search in. .
Please. I want search. Haha.

hi guys, thank you for all the feedback, really appreciate it! [= been really busy so haven't been able to check in, but will reply proper and work on and upload a new version with all the fixes and a weather slot version this weekend k?
@deathcommand: only have time to drop a quick reply to the thread now but will pm you this weekend too, thanks
As a number of you have pointed up, I screwed up the 6.1 icons a lil. Thanks for pointing that out, not sure why I didn't notice it myself! I've uploaded a fixed version, and also a weather slot version, links are in OP.
Thank you for all your kind comments, hope you're enjoying this theme as much as I am. [=
Thanks for this great theme and make it FREE!! I love the new updated icons and it looks awesome. Anyway, if possible, use the 6.1 icon set for calendar as I noticed it still use the default os 6 calendar icon set. But it's not a big deal with me. Thanks
