Chief -

I had someone with a Storm request a police theme of me. I will do one for us 8350ites along with it. It will most likely be around the weekend before I get to it though.

Thanks Quinn... it appears you are on top of these 8350i themes!

There is a police theme for the 83xx series at BlacksBerry.com and has some nice icons but it is not compatible with the 8350i. Take a look.

Do you need any graphics like a badge, patch, helo pic, etc?

[quinn4761]

If you have pics that you would like me to use, pm me. I will get you my e-mail and go from there.

PLEASE let US know WHAT comes OF this!!!

[Cobra1100]

Oh, I will Casp.

I just got the email back today and had to wait until I got home tonight to send them all the info and files they asked for. I hope they can resolve it pretty quickly. I think that they only played with the final release on the simulators, since they didn't seem to know what I was talking about with the issues. Maybe the thm file will help them out if they actually install it on a phone.

[Casper34]

lets hope...

This may have been covered somewhere else, and I am sorry if it is redundant. I am trying to make a layoput on my home page layout in Plazmic for the 8350i and it shows a gray bar with the application's title that I cannot get rid of. Can anyone help me on this?

Lots of thanks and you all do great work!

[larz888]

Thanks for the timely response casper, and for your assistance.

no problem....

assuming that you have it open...

you see where you choose the different screens? they go down in order.... choose the second one, now when you have your home icons picked, either the zen or today it dont matter, you will see an option that says "theme extra" click that then uncheck for what ever icon you are using

[Casper34]

~~~~~~~cobra~~~~~~~

hey also let them know that when you already have TB open, that if you click open, then try to click on "desktop" on the left NOTHING HAPPENS.... for any of them. figured i would let you tell them since you have their attention

[Paradox1977]

hey quinn, it would be cool, the dodge truck 1500 ram theme, if it opened up on the homescreen like your other creatiions (bmw). i am excited and i cannot wait

[Cobra1100]

Hey Guys,

Here's the response I got back from RIM on the Theme Builder. It looks like we'll have to just leave the phone screens alone until they come up with another build. Casper, I will send them the info on the desktop issue as well. Apparently, they want people to send the bug reports in to them, according to the reply I got. Here it is:

Hello Frank,

Thanks for providing the thorough information and files!

I have tested this and currently it appears to be a bug with how the themes are created for the device. I have logged this issue with the appropriate team for fix in a future release of Theme Builder however I have no information on when this may be available. Presently there are no known workarounds for this issue.

Again, thanks for letting us know and please send any further Theme-related issues you may experience that appear to be bugs to [email protected].

Let me know if you have any further questions regarding this particular issue at this time.

i canot find the theme once that i upload the file its not there?

[Cobra1100]

dssva,

I don't understand your question. Where did you upload to? Is it a theme you made, or downloaded from here?

[larz888]

Casper,
I have unchecked both of the boxes, 'Status Text' and 'Today Area', and the Gray Bar is still there with the text in it. Am I missing something else?

[Cobra1100]

Casper,

I opened theme builder and opened a theme. When I clicked on Open>Desktop, I got the files listed that I have on my desktop. What exactly were you talking about in your post above? When you click on the desktop, it will only list the type of file you have selected. Mine shows the items on my desktop.

[Cobra1100]

larz,

I think I see what you're talking about. Like the post Casper said above, instead, click on the Properties section and clear the checkbox that says "Show Text". This only works for Zen types, not the Today type. I've not been able to clear any of the Today texts. Is it a small icon or a larger icon? The small ones are Today, the larger ones are Zen.

Since Casp isn't online I'm going to take a crack at answering this one. Under properties on the second screen (its directly below where you selected your apps for the home screen) you need to change the caret to a transparent background. It is currently set at grey by default. If this isn't clear let me know and I will post a screen shot

Note: This only gets rid of the grey bar not the text

sorry krashed

[Krashedin2u]

I'm ok with being wrong but I'm just not sure what I'm wrong about

[Casper34]

I'm ok with being wrong but I'm just not sure what I'm wrong about

when you click file in the upper right hand corner.... just like you were going to save a word doc or something like that....

[Krashedin2u]

Ok, but what does that have to do with removing the text for the home screen icons? I think I must have terribly misunderstood the original question.

[Casper34]
