Yes, in v3 you will have the option to hide the 7 icons leaving the 5 buttons. (But you will also able to hide them all)I really like this but I was wondering if it would be possible to have a v without the user icons becuz I use shortcuts and quicklaunch so I don't have enuff for that first row. I think it looks much cleaner like this:

Much easier to navigate now
Re-DL + Reboot

For the Curve & Tour I think I found a mistake in previous versions regarding SMS.. (generally for Tour/Curve, I can not test it any way, so I have to rely on feed-back from You)10-23-09 05:20 AM - Bug fixed.There is a bug
Fixing it now (both sms and bbm version)
Please Re-DL + Reboot. Sorry about that.
Also I made version LITE1 and LITE0.
For those who are wondering; What�s the point of 4 versions to a theme that is apparently the same.
I made the LITE series
so You can choose exactly how many and which hidden today applications You want on the home screen.
Generally it is like P7v3 but without the bottom 5 buttons. Only the "7" dock.
Lite is designed for the first 3 three icons to be today applications (i.e. Calendar, Messages, SMS. Other options would be as I understand it Call Log and Messenger)
It will then bring up the darkened today underlay to help read the text on high contrast or bright wallpapers. And You can scroll up to seelct the entries.
Regarding Entries, Calendar will always show the next 7 "events" (Not alarms and tasks hopefully it comes in later OS�s) Messages, SMS, Call Log and BBM Will only show New Unread/missed entries, not your 7 newest mails for example.
Thats just the standard way that the hidden today area works.
Lite2 does it for the first 2 icon.
Lite1 does only for the first icon.
Lite0 has no hidden today support at all (Requested by OS 5.0 users, but I also know of 4.6 users who prefers it like that)
Hope it it helps to understand the background for this theme variant.

First I'd love to say you have an AWESOME theme there. Seriously, it's amazing. Kudos for the idea!
I especially love the last version, I think it's your best work so far!
I noticed one small problem with the theme though, so I wanted to let you know. I use weather app with GPS and radar, and when I put that in the weather slot, the temperature badge doesn't show completely - little circle gets cut off, like this:
Also, I noticed that right when I scroll to BBM button - it opens on it's own. I don't have to click like on every other icon. It's not a problem when that's the app I'm trying to access, but often it isn't so one has to exit BBM and go back to scrolling - same thing happens when you scroll back from left to right. Okay, ignore this, I just saw you fixed it.
As for the problem you have with SMS/Messages/Messenger combined/sparated all all diferent wishes people have - I would suggest a different approach:
Instead of insisting that you create Messages/Messenger button at the very bottom - why not remove Messages from the bottom dock all together?! Put other apps there and let people choose themselves how they'll handle messages in the upper icons. There's plenty of place to do that!
I would suggest for the bottom 5 apps:
Contacts - Calendar - Browser - Media - Camera
These are all apps people often use, and by removing messages all together you will cut down the number of different versions you have and make your own life easier later because there will be less themes to update
I would suggest removing "lite" version and all different variants and leaving normal version with 3 options:
1 - No shaded area on any of the apps, no preview on messages, sms, calendar
2 - 2 shaded areas [for people that use Combined Messages and Calendar: shaded icon number 2 (after the weather app) and Calendar in the bottom dock]
3 - 3 shaded areas [for people that use Separated Messages and Calendar: shaded icon number 2 & 3 (after the weather app) and Calendar in the bottom dock]
I think this would simplify things both for you as a developer and for users, because atm you are offering 6 different versions of v3 theme.
Personally, I'd LOVE to use the first version I suggested, with no previews, that's why I'm suggesting that one too.
