    - small changes on both regular and precision versions
    - both version now also have a bannerless version (invisible homescreen banner)
    - please redownload for any new fixes!!!

    OTA Downloads


    iTour
    iTour Bannerless


    iTour Precision
    iTour Precision Bannerless

    Application Screen


    Navigation Technique


    icon 1 = weather
    icon 2-7 = bottom dock
    icon 2-6 = goes up to today area
    today area = goes up to profiles
    icon 7 = goes up to icon 1 (weather)

    so you can easily access the today area from the bottom 5 icons, and if there is no today content it will go directly to profiles. the only way to access the weather icon (icon #1) is to go up from icon 7 (bottom #6). i think this is working better than the last way because you dont have to travel through the weather icon every time you want to goto the profiles.

    - changed the location of the weather icon to more in the corner below the banner.
    - added a selection highlight for it as it was hard to know when it was selected other than the status text.
    - widened the status text area so it shouldnt cut off for longer texts anymore.
    - you can now select the today area items from the bottom 6 icons.
    - have not updated the precision version yet, just iphone icon version.

    okay given the interest i am releasing it "as-is" right now. that means, there could very well be some bugs. there could also be room for improvment. so lets consider this an "open beta" and everyone can give their input. not going to guarantee you will get what you want, but hopefully this can be polished off into a nice clean theme. once this one is done i plan on making revisions with different icon sets.

    heres a simple theme i have been making for myself. its mostly stock precision theme. the one obvious change is the use of iphone icons. to all the haters, no i do not want my blackberry to look like an iphone, i do however want to use the wide variety of high quality icons made for said phone. i like the contrasting colors of them it makes it easier to navigate as opposed to all icons looking the same for the most part.

    ive also added a weather icon spot on the homescreen. well it can be anything you want really, but it is intended for use as weather icon. there is no visible highlight selection for the weather icon, but you can still navigate to it in order to see the status text. i thought the large black selection box looked odd in the middle of the screen.

    ive also added a hidden today area which shows 6 items when hovered over the corresponding icon.

    heres a few pictures to give you an idea:

    just downloaded the version with the iphone icons, very nice. however what happened to the icon for SMS messages?
    not sure what you mean by that? do you have your sms and email inboxes set to separate? if you dont know what im talking about. open your messages > menu > options >general options > sms and email inboxes > separate

    A...First of all, NICE theme. I, like you, am not a hater, and like those icons. A few suggestions to make it even better:

    - Is it possible to move the weather icon more to the right and up so that it is in the corner below the banner? Also, can you include a visual selection or highlight of the weather icon similar to the row of 6 below. I understand not wanting to see the black under the weather icon, but if it is relocated, it wouldn't be that much of a distraction. Plus, it's hard to select it because you can't see you're on it.

    - Make the "hidden today" items selectable by scrolling up to it.

    Other than that, I think it's a beautiful theme. Good job!

    couple of bugs I noticed, the outline of the black box on the theme with the precision icons as you can see in the picture. Also the application names gets cut off also.



    one request, can you make both versions without weather also?

    @FiliBERRY - Thanks! Yes its possible to move the weather icon, I wasnt sure for best placement. I will mess around with the placement and see how the corner works out. Perhaps i can make an alternate version with a selection highlight for the weather icon as i really dont want one for my personal version

    As for selecting the today items, i also wasnt sure from which icons should you be able to select them? the new navigation settings of plazmic are slightly confusing. since the bottom icons are user chosen, i cannot set it to be selectable from a certain icon (ie: calendar). so it would have to goto the today items for every icon i guess? i personally dont see a need to select them so thats why i went without being able to access it. but i will mess around with it and see what i can do. any suggestions are appreciated.

    @Chase265 - Well that looks crazy! lol I am not sure what has happened there but will be looking into it!

    A, thanks for the quick reply. Some feedback for you:

    -locatioin of the weather icon is perfect.
    -selection of the icon is perfect
    -status area is fine
    -had no problem selecting "today" items. Moved my msgs to 3rd icon and calendar to 4th icon. Perfect.

    The navigation model might need to be looked at however. At the 6th bottom row icon, if I scroll up, it goes to the profile instead of up to the weather icon. At the first bottom row icon, if I scroll up it goes to the weather icon. For me to get to profile from the 1st bottom row icon I have to go to weather first, then to profile. Vice versa, if I'm on the profile icon and scroll down it goes to weather and if I'm on weather it goes down to the first bottom row icon. Confusing? I'm with ya.

    I'm just glad there are people out there with the patience to handle Plazmic and put up with the feedback that we give. Thanks for your efforts!

    I just downloaded this, looks great!!!

    I noticed the same bug that FiliBERRY mentioned, and I'm curious to know if it does that because the weather icon (first icon) is that top right one? Profiles scrolls to first bottom left icon as default, doesn't it? If that's the case, then is it seeing the weather spot as first since that's how it is on the homepage?

    Still a sharp clean theme, looks great on the resolution of this screen!
