Here are some images of Boxed, and some preliminary impressions...
The Positives:
Wonderful design!
Love the detail given to each icon, edge and corner!
15 app scrolling dock - simply awesome!
Room for improvement:
Wifi symbol pops up beneath 3g as well as in top left corner
Blackberry "dots" are a little pix-elated
When on main app screen, apps with 2 lines of text are difficult to read due to background
Missing portrait/landscape wallpaper compatibility
Non-theme notification icons are pix-elated due to the size increase of the notification area
When tapping on clock, blue focus area seems out of place, maybe change to transparent? Same thing happens with the manage connections hotspot for the service indicator numbers on the right hand side
When in landscape, green focus area is not centered under icons
Wifi icon and banner areas could stand to be reduced in size
Possibly add SVG hidden hotspot for messages in banner
The "arrows" indicating the Hotspots for scrolling dock are a little close to dock. Even though the hotspot is in the area above the arrow I find myself accidentally selecting a dock icon instead of the arrow
Not the biggest fan of the font used... especially when it differs from font in first user defined icon slot
Any way to make the gray areas ie the banner area and user defined slot semi transparent?
In landscape, the user defined icon slot ie weather is outside the gray box area, by the slightest amount, as compared to portrait
Thanks for the opportunity to help with this superb theme!

In portrait mode the alarm indicator is really close to the clock whereas in landscape its always further away

Not the biggest fan of the font used... especially when it differs from font in first user defined icon slot its a pain to try to use a custom font in that spot.... the font is plain arial in slot one. That would seem very plain for the rest of the theme.
In landscape, the user defined icon slot ie weather is outside the gray box area, by the slightest amount, as compared to portrait
Blackberry "dots" are a little pix-elated Not sure there is a way for me to change this???
When on main app screen, apps with 2 lines of text are difficult to read due to background darkened background suggestions? if i move the dock up,, it will no longer look like the apps are "on" the dock... I will play some more.
Wifi icon and banner areas could stand to be reduced in size i did reduce the main banner.... too small and it takes away from the look
Possibly add SVG hidden hotspot for messages in banner sure thing
The "arrows" indicating the Hotspots for scrolling dock are a little close to dock. Even though the hotspot is in the area above the arrow I find myself accidentally selecting a dock icon instead of the arrowit was moved up. I dont want to go too high or you dont have enough room for BeWeather wallpaper weather....- changed dock color for app screen.
Any way to make the gray areas ie the banner area and user defined slot semi transparent? Yes.. but not the look i was intending.
Issues with incoming call screen font (original font still)
its hard to change this much from the original design - as when I release I till have to note specifically for torch or change the storm version to match.

No worries! I just wanted to be as thorough as possible to make Boxed the best it can be! You have to stick to what makes the theme yours or else its not Boxed. Thanks for all the time and work committed thus far!
