God I love Crackberry! Where else can you find people so generous that they're still looking for a way to give me a theme05-27-11 08:22 AM - So everything worked out well! Awesome
Since I've been using this for a week, I figured I'd come back and give everyone a report now that I've had time with the theme.
Oh, before I begin, I'm possibly the most restless person in the world when it comes to themes. I change them every second if I can. I've stuck with this for a week - that means it's mind-blowing!
Anyway, on to the after-usage review:
- everything I originally said still applies. The theme is fast, functional, attractive and intuitive; my friends have used it and figured out what to do in seconds.
- the trackpad support works remarkably well - you can scroll in every direction. The only thing you can't select with the trackpad is the Manage Connections hotspot at the bottom of the screen. Also, if you scroll too far left, you will unhide the floating clock dock - you can re-hide it with the trackpad, but you can't lose focus of it and move on to another icon without having to tap the screen. Hardly an issue, though - just something I thought I'd bring up for those who are inclined to use trackpads.
- if you're a person who doesn't have OCD about keeping their notifications bar clean, you might get a lot of icon cutoff - anything more than four notifications starts to overflow/disappear into the theme. I've only run into this problem once - I keep that area clean otherwise.
- don't even try using the virtual keyboard on the homescreen. That should be a given, though - it won't be pretty.
- the 'loud' profile icon gets cut-off on the home screen, as does the alarm icon on the left-hand side.
- if your font size is anything under 8 (at least with default fonts), timestamps on the main message overviews will be hidden after the first digit/first two digits.
- the Options and Tasks icons are the same - keep in mind that both have an icon on the home screen, so this is not a horrible thing.
That's pretty much it! Again, the theme is still amazing, and definitely a steal for anything under $5. Do not miss out on this theme!05-27-11 01:02 PM - Thanks for the follow up on your usage! I've been working on updates this week and here is a report in regards to your findings -
- the trackpad support works remarkably well - you can scroll in every direction. The only thing you can't select with the trackpad is the Manage Connections hotspot at the bottom of the screen. Also, if you scroll too far left, you will unhide the floating clock dock - you can re-hide it with the trackpad, but you can't lose focus of it and move on to another icon without having to tap the screen.

fixed in upcoming update

no clue how I could fix this
- the 'loud' profile icon gets cut-off on the home screen, as does the alarm icon on the left-hand side.

not sure why this is happening, but I'll see what I can do
- the Options and Tasks icons are the same - keep in mind that both have an icon on the home screen, so this is not a horrible thing.
fixed in upcoming update
Its also much more wallpaper friendly in the update as well.
I was hoping to have it done by now but am having issues adding the landscape mode to the Torch so it may take a bit longer but I'll do my best.05-27-11 03:19 PM - For those of you using Berryweather, I have modified a set of custom weather icons (Simplified w/ Color XL icons originally done by BlastTyrant) so that they perfectly mesh with the "vintage" look of the vintage theme. check it out.
you can get the set here05-30-11 10:09 PM - Hi guys, sorry for the late responses.
dfairlite - I'm not planning on putting the calender as a fixed icon on the homescreen just because it won't auto-update unless its the actual icon which would then have to be the standard icon size and look out of place.
Manoman - Yep, this should be corrected by using the latest Theme Studio
JTekt - WOW! Thats awesome!
Im running into some issues with the 9800 update but am hoping to work through them soon05-31-11 04:07 PM - Btw, been running this non stop and loving it!
Smooth, easy to navigate and the only issues I've found were those brought up by CuddlyCombine earlier.
A+ theme on the first go-round, thanks again!
I simply love themes that are over stylized like this one is, I can't get enough of them
05-31-11 04:33 PM - I was looking for a new theme and i guess I found the one to use for a while.
Your theme is awesome, the only thing is the notification bar but you said it will be fixed with the update, so everything is perfect
@Jtekt Thanks for the icon set
