After seeing StevenInSTL's Iphonish theme it inspired me to make one myself..started out as a iPhone replica then turned into this. I like it and hopefully you guys do to! Bottom icons are set to what they are, I can change them if you want to send me a donation.

**Make sure you set the Messages to seperate, I think I forgot to do that all but the 81xx version**
**Might make a Zen if I can get it to look right**

All Bow Down!

All bow to the "King of Themes"

King of Themes huh...maybe the mods should change under my name lol

Purty...

Brian,

Very nice. Kind of hard to see the messages when the blue highlight bar has black showing, anyway to reverse it so the text is white when highlighted?

Nope if I change it to white then the message list that isn't highlighted is white. Can't just change the highlighted part

I have a few themes where the highlighted text is white.

Currently I'm using AlienwareBerry and Ipodberry both found on stack and created by ecruz0102 there is also Litho theme created by E3BK and the Pearl version has the white text when highlighted. Also the 81xx: iPhone Clone Theme by alexdemers has the highlighted text as white. All are OS 4.5 for the Pearl.

While I am not a theme designer, and don't "like" to be a critic when I can't do my own. It can be done, the question is how?

The menu font has a "highlighted font" color which is white in my theme but the message list does have a highlighted font color but I can not change that color...I don't know why I can't..I have changed the font to different fonts and it doesn't let me

It's too bad, there are so many great themes I and others would love to use, but the contrast is so dark between the text and highlight bar, It's just too hard to see.

Yea I dunno, the only thing that will let me change the highlighted font is the BB fonts...but any custom windows font I can't change it

Aww, very pretty, love it!!

What about changing the highlight bar from blue to a lighter pastel color so the black text shows through better?

I've seen that done with great success.

PIN me your email address...we'll try and get something worked out and then I can update everything

Is anyone else having a hard time viewing the message list when it is highlighted with the Blue w/Black text? It doesn't bother me but I figured I would ask

I personally have no problem viewing the highlighted item on the message list at all. The blue is just light enough to be ok. I actually find it just a bit difficult on your purple mystique (top dock, 6 calendar item version) but I love the theme, am thrilled that I bought it and wasn't going to bother you with this minor issue.

I know you were thinking of giving a freebie, but this iSunset TodayPlus is a real gift!! Thx

Thanks, I will wait and see what others think before I go ahead and update everything. Making a lighter color isn't that big of a deal or hard to do

The highlight issue is one I've seen make some themes (that look great in screen shots and on most views when loaded) very hard to actually use on a daily basis.

Allowing for differences in screen size (Pearl, Curve, Bold, etc.), eyesight, and ambient conditions means that theme developers need (I believe) to fall more on the side of clarity and ease of reading (when dealing with highlighting) than 100% faithfulness to a theme color scheme...just my two cents.

I will change it to something lighter or something like that so you can see it better..when I test my themes I use my Curve and then send it to a 81xx user so that I can tell if it loads right and all that. If anyone ever see's anything wrong with my themes let me know and I would love to fix it for them or the whole community I have no problem with that. I don't want to give off the impression that I am not building "quality" themes that people won't use

Brian:

Personally I see nothing wrong with this theme. I can see everything perfectly.

Bottom line..not all people will be satisfied with a theme. There will always be 1 or 2 that say the font is too big/too small, can't see the color, the icons are too small, the icons are too big...

Well if you have have problem with the themes cosmetics..don't use it. Its that simple. Its a free theme, you did not pay for it...and if you ask to have it customized, you should pay for it.

Ok I updated the 81xx versions since it seems to be the issue with the 81xx users...It is the same blue but lighter...let me know if that works for you guys

And that option, you cannot use a white font there, unless the background is a different color. You can only make the hilite bar a little lighter.

I'd also like to point out that newer Pearl 2 (8110, 8120 and 8130) devices running OS 4.3 will automatically render the highlight bar as the system default blue when non-BB fonts are chosen for the message list font. No amount of changing the color in Plazmic will effect the final appearance of the highlight bar on the device, as it will still be the defaulted cobalt blue (even when exported for OS 4.3). I don't know if this issue has been fixed with OS 4.5 though...

Just to clarify in case it wasn't clear, my comments were meant in general, and weren't a response to your theme, Brian.

Ok, I wasn't quite sure if this one minor thing was making such a huge impact on my theme

BCollins521.... I must commend u on a good work and great theme. The only problem I am having after Installing theme. The "SMS" icon space is black and "use a darker shade for the text/font". Is there a way to correct it?

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback

nice, i like it...

I love the icons, but what is up with the fonts? Too many different fonts.

There's only two different font's...

Menu & message list font, popup & button font, screen title font, plus whatever font I've got set on the device.

It would be great if it was all using one font, or the device font.

Oh forgot about the pop up font...I can't set it for the device font due to the builder...doesn't let me. I might actually rework this theme if I get a chance...there were a few little things that I want to change

Great work..

I'm sure you've been busy and I don't know if you reworked this theme at all.

The only two suggestions would be to have the bottom icons customizable and also maybe lessen the calendar a few bars to allow for messages or call log?

I really like this tho!

Very nice work!

After loading to my 8700 Bberry Brian's PrecisionL-87 theme this morning (pretty cool) I've discovered that I have access to only the home screen... none of the other applications can be accessed, i.e. Options and such. In addition, the theme can't be unloaded via Desktop Manager.

Any help in remedying this problem will be appreciated. Thanks...

Mark

Hey Mark I forgot about the 87xx needing the application button. It should be able to be removed through DM. Does the theme not show to where you can uncheck the box?

Email me at bcollins521@pimpmyberry.com and I can help ya out that way.
