Free Themes: Understated Dark Today and Zen Style
 

As the name implies this is a minimalistic theme with an overall dark feel to it. Hopefully someone else out there enjoys it. It looks much better on the Curve than in the screen shots IMO. This is my first crack at making a theme so suggestions/comments are appreciated. Note that this theme was built for the Curve or other device running 4.2.2.

Update: Zen version now available.
Update: Refined icons, dialog button and title bar on both versions
Update: OTA now available.
Update: Added a transparent waiting gif and changed battery from white on gray to white on transparent for eaiser reading. Screen shots show the new waiting gif animation.

Very nicely done. I would love to see that on a BB pearl

Looks good. It would look even better as a Zen version.

something like this?

That's funny. You threw for a minute there before I realized that this pic was from my own photobucket account.

I would like to attempt this but not having a Pearl I can't imagine trying to make sure everything looks right. The Plazmic sim can be way off at times. I might get brave and try it here in the near future. Thanks for the comment.

Tryin to keep you on your toes... :-)

Excellent theme. I've been looking for something like this!

Thank You! I've got some refinements to make soon so it will be getting a little better. Right now the icons are too big and take up too much space on the Zen homescreen IMO.

Ok what is the BLUE triangle on the screen shots....another member was desperate to know...

It is the roaming indicator. And I answered that question. :)

Unless he posted in multiple threads....

Just posted an updated version of these themes. Most notably I made the icons a tad smaller. This looks a lot better IMO, especially on the Zen version.

Just posted OTA links. Big thanks to EVO at BlueRoomSolution for help with the hosting. (y)

Great theme! Thanks for making it. One suggestion I have is to change the colors of the battery meter. It is hard to see the gray on white. I have to study the battery meter to see how much charge I have.

I can see how the colors could be hard to distinguish. I will toy with the battery some and see what I come up with. Glad to hear you like the theme otherwise. Thanks.

Very nice theme. Clean and Sharp. I am using the 'Today' version.

Ok so I just tried a OTA download and now my phone powered down and keeps trying to power up and wont. thoughts??:?

Help.

Themes are probably for the 4.2.2 OS only (since they were made for the Curve according to the first post). Your 8703e runs 4.1. I think you bricked your phone. :cry:

is there no way back????:?

What's it doing on the power up? You getting the hourglass? It might sit there for a little while after installing a new theme. (not sure if you've installed a theme before). If it's hanging you might try a battery pull.
