Free Today Preview w/ Slot for the 85XX(OS5)
- I was having the same problem with other themes and there are threads on this forum discussing the cause, which most people think is an OS bug that's triggered when using themes with transitions. In my case, every theme I used with transitions (free or premium) would not update the homescreen icons, including both BerryWeather & WeatherEye. I was running OS 5.0.0.386. I updated my OS to 5.0.0.459 and no more problem!!!

I'll be testing it with Weatherbug (free).
If it doesn't update, I'll remove the transitions and re-test.
User "nlfdberryuser" commented in this thread that updating the OS to .459 fixed this same issue for him which may be why I haven't seen the issue.
Do the other themes have Transitions?
What version are you running?
Thanx for the post.02-16-10 09:39 AMLike 0 -
- Carrier is US Cellular and this is their latest OS.
You may be right about the transitions, this is the only
theme I have with that. Which is why I like it.
But the Vorino Clock and the BerryWeather
icons on the lower bar do not update.
BerryWeather Wallpaper works with no issue
and works well with the theme.
They are offering a free trial if you wish to
test it. I saw that on BB App World.
Their home page is: Bellshare - Premium BlackBerry Apps
They might be helpful in working this issue out.
The Vorino Clock also has a trial period,
or it did.
You can get that here

Can contact the author there as well.
I also use IBerry 2.0 Today Plus with no issues.
But it is not a transitions theme correct?
Transitions being the animated menus and
the zoom in zoom out of the apps, right?
Would love to see the lower bar be a pop
up when moused over, then hide type of item, like what
IBerry 2.0 Today Plus uses and
the two programs working. Life would be grand.
This theme has a good foundation and could be even better!

02-16-10 10:24 AMLike 0 - Just downloaded. I'll let you know how it works. I've been looking for something like this. Thanks for all your efforts!02-16-10 03:37 PMLike 0
- I registered mostly to say "Thank you" for this theme. I was looking for something with icons on the bottom yet my calendar was visible.
I downloaded it and got it all situated, then came back and saw that a weather app went in the top slot. I get it!! I renamed a file "." so that too much text wouldn't show. But the temp text there is great.
Perfect. This is what I was looking for the whole time I had a Treo 800w. Finally made the switch to BB and this app alone made it worth it!

After I upgraded to .459 all this was solved. All my icons update on themes with Transitions.02-16-10 10:52 PMLike 0 - I've posted another version with accents PINK here that I did as a request.
85XX-drew04pink:
It's an updated version of this theme in 3 versions: Weather Slot with Transitions, Weather Slot without Transitions & No Weather Slot with Transitions. I lowered the Today area and removed 1 line so it doesn't overlap the Weather Slot. I changed the font on the Today area so it's more visible on lighter wallpapers. I removed access to the Weather slot from the home screen. I'm going to convert it to 85XX-drew04 with the orginial Red accents soon. We'll have to continue this thread there when it happens.
I'd like to Thank everyone who posted to this thread, good or bad, I appreaciate it.

02-17-10 07:39 AMLike 0 - So far, I love this. Works fine. Had a slight mem leak (>1 Mb) but dont think it's from the theme. I am not getting the calendar to pop up. Which slot do I need to have it in? I love having the seven icons on the bottom, as I now dont have to use the menu key as much. Well done.02-18-10 08:50 AMLike 0

Keep an eye out for "85XX-drew04red" today. It's an undated version of this theme.
Thanx.02-18-10 09:54 AMLike 0 - This theme has been updated and is labeled Drew's Free Today Preview w/ Weather Slot in RED (3 variations).02-18-10 01:06 PMLike 0
- Well, I changed my mind on the leak. The only thing different Between yesterday and today is the theme (Which I love) and I have a 5 MB memory leak. Im going to do a battery pull and try again and see if it still happens. Anything I could try to limit this.02-18-10 03:45 PMLike 0
