http://www.onthearm.com/otajad/com_p...o2_no_wrap.jad Home Icons Dont Wrap Around


I have updated the today themes with some of the suggestions from you guys...
I have made the selector transparent and the text above the icons smaller...
I also made a few versions of this theme... I removed the customization I had done to the first today theme with the leather back and made it more like the generic zen that comes with phone.. The reason I did this is so that you the user can customize it for yourself... One request I had was that the scrolling of the zen icons wouldnt wrap so I made two versions available one to wrap and one without wrap... The other request I got was that the application background remain the blue/black background not change with the home screen so I made two versions of that as well one with the app background that changes with the home screen and one that doesnt. Another request was to make the lock screen change with the home screen... All versions now do this... I have read about bugs people have been experiencing with scorlling and I think I have worked those out as well... Here are the 4 versions available for now.. Please continue to leave me feedback and suggestions and Ill try to continue to update them... I also renamed them to ota today...

Very nice theme. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your great theme.

God Bless you - this is an awesome theme. I love it.

I have one suggestion for improvement (for now - will post later if I come across any more):
- Screen lock could use custom wallpaper

best available theme for me because it looks like stock rim and i'm able to change the dock icons and scrollin behavior is just like stock theme... love it

Great theme Marco. Keep 'em coming

Thanks djmarcox - this is fantastic!

Another great theme Marco. I am so happy I can now change the wallpaper of my app screen to match the home screen.

Nice! I'm going to install it right now. Thank you for sharing it.

Amazing... fantastic. RIM couldnt make it better. Thanks so much! I've tried so many and this is THE ONE!! Thanks...

vey cool theme

couple suggestions / requests.

on the home screen, the icon highlighting continually cycles, so the highlighted icon is pulsing at me the entire time. only way to make it stop is to go to the app screen and back to the home screen. and as soon as i move, icon starts to pulse at me again..
also remove the 'wrap' on home screen. i.e. if i scroll left lots, it should stop at left most icon, not wrap around to the right hand side of the screen again.

Cheers

This theme is Awesome! Thanks for posting it.
One thing though...is there anyway you could remove the "wrapping" on the home screen? If you did that, I think it would be perfect!

Thank you!!!

great theme thanks for that mate - i'd bought a few of the today themes of bplay but each one distorted the text in messages with it not being centered and aligned left... yours is perfect! Great work!

great theme
and already installed ;)

Looks nice! Gonna try it now. Thanks for sharing!!

my icon only pulses for 10 seconds so dont know why yours is different?

i may not have waited a full 10 seconds.. but anything more than the initial pulse is enough to drive me batty.. i just like the default behavior of single pluse on move.

Looks awesome! THANK YOU!!
One question, how did you get the phone icon? i can't figure out to show mine, or if my bold even comes with one??

For us UK folks, is there any way to get the calendar dates for the upcoming appointments in the UK date format

Great theme though, everything else is fantastic

Kevin

Honestly... ur da man

Is it possible to stop the scrolling on the main screen at the first and last icon?
i don't know if you know what i mean, but it scrolls over after the 6th icon to go to the 1st icon... is it possible to disable that?

Thanks

EDIT: Is there also a way to remove the "Message" and have just the Calendar?

Thanks

One Word... Perfect!

Im glad you all are enjoying my themes.. Im gonna take into account all suggestions and try to figure em out... Ill hopefully have something by end of week...

I don't really have a data plan with my BB at the moment, is there any way to get this theme without a data plan? I've tried to download it and move it into my phone, then using the media play --> explore using that to install the file, it goes smoothly but at the end of it it tells me "Download Failed!" "907 Invalid COD File not found"

Marco, it is brilliant! Any way I could donate to your favourite charity?

Is there a Today theme for Bold without the bottom dock???

My blackberry desktop only takes alx files. Is there any other way that I can install the program?

Its an OTA download. Point your BB Browser to the URL in the first post and download the theme. you then have to activate it from Settings > Themes

Hello again - one more thing to fix I guess: When on a call there is no icon indicating call in progress. The original theme showed an icon and when on mute the icon would have a \ on it to indicate mute.

Loving your theme. Hope you can fix the issues and post an improved version. No hurries though!

Thanks, djmarcox.

On another note, do I have to re-organize my icons whenever I switch themes?

when you install a new theme for the first time.. if u download over it a new version with the same name then it saves the organization for you...

Can you possibly whip up an all icons on home screen theme? like dimension icon was?

Yes there is : LINK

new today themes posted..... read original post for updates... enjoy

Thank you so much!!!

Is it possible to show missed calls on the home screen as well as calander an messages?

if you have time... can you do one that is just like this http://www.onthearm.com/otajad/com_p...o_wrap_app.jad
but with just messages on the today screen, no calendar?
