Looks like the text colors need a little work. I'll upload a new version later today.

Looks nice

Very nice. Blue + Clean Banner are right up my ally.

Updated it, colors should be more in-car driving friendly also screenshots have been updated.

Another update, Date field size may clip the day on some models. Should be fixed now. Thanks BCollins521!

Cool theme Ulukia.

After i download, how do i install to my 8300.

I connected to DM but could'nt find where to copy or install the new theme on my 8300.

Thanks

This theme is becoming one of my favorite themes to use

Any chance for a Zen or L version of this?

Nice looking theme!

Sorry, haven't received notification of posts...

dtun87222: Open DM, select App Loader. Once it reads your phone, select add. Locate the ALX file of the theme, select next. Once it loads it to your phone then DM will soft reboot your phone. To activate the theme, once the phone finishes its nap, select Options > Themes then highlight the theme and press in on the trackball. It'll take a few seconds to initialize the theme but once you have control of the cursor again the theme is loaded and your good to go.

dmiller1856: I can look into it. I don't know how easy it'll be to shift it over but I'll take a look. Any particular version you’re interested in?

UPDATE: With the help of BCollins521, many thanks, we now know this theme is usable in 4.5 without any drastic repercussions like say Surreal theme (endless reboots). Also, I've updated the theme (just moved some items around to avoid conflicts with the WiFi/VM icons which I can't change or see in the theme builder.

Very nice. Love the blue background. Thanks for designing it.

Np. I'm very pleased with the comments so far.

Great looking theme! Thank you.

Theme looks great!

One question though, more out of curiosity; I noticed in the first screen shot there is a hole where an icon should be, why is that?

That icon would most likely be the profiles icon. I am guessing the creator made it invisible to keep the banner clean looking. Unfortunately, there is no way to make the profiles icon invisible in the banner, but visible in the applications menu. However, there will be in the next Theme Builder.

Yeup...the profile icons are transparent, he hide both states of the icon

Indeed, this is a trick that Corey told me to make it cleaner. Since I use BBSmart Shortcuts, not having the profile icon on the home screen doesn't bother me (You can still select it on the home screen if you move the trackball to the right and click in).
Thanks guys for replying!

Thanks for that, having not developed a theme yet, I'd have never thought of that.

Again very nice theme; I was just overly curious. I don't use the icon myself; shortcut "F" works for me.

Nothing wrong with being curious

I updated the pictures, some were not current.

More updates, this time using different backgrounds.

Working with Chris from Free Blackberry Stuff.com about hosting OTAs. So stay tuned, if you have any recommendations on which one you like more please feel free to let me know.

Looks like this thread is now over 800 views yet I appear to be leaving the majority of the responses. If you download one of the themes, please leave a comment.

They were added tonight... these themes look awesome!

Thanks to Chris from Free Blackberry Stuff.com, OTAs are now up. Get them here.

EEEK!!! I left out the phone logs on the homepage for a few. Working on it...

DM links and screenshots have been fixed, I sent updates for OTAs.

That seems to be a issue a lot of times around places. People download it and use it but don't say thanks or give any comments.

Come on guys this is a great theme! All ya need to do is say thanks

Nice looking theme, but not usable w/ other languages. So-called Umlaute are a mess.

Regards,
Tom

(using a german version / language)

Not sure there is much I can do there.

Quantum foam makes me roam.

looks really nice!

i dont use today themes, but if theres ever a zen theme, id be all over it!

great work

FYI, OTAs were updated. Just forgot to mention it.

Looks very clean and nice!

I'm going to give it a shot and check it out. Feedback to follow soon....

Nice! Not bad at all. Also hey infernox, I like you're display! Where did U get it from? Pretty Awsome!

Love it! Please think about a Zen!

I'm not a big Today fan, and I am now in love with the L-theme, but the Blue is amazing. There you go, you got a comment, and I really do think you did an amazing job on the Blue one, if it was an L-theme I believe I would be running it now

When I get time, and install the new Plazmic, I'll look into Zen/L-Theme. Time is the major factor, I was on vacation when I created this one. :P

Bumpity.
