Thanks, but I think we have it all covered.

However, out of curiosity, what kind of things were you talking about? |

All sorts of elements provided for the Precision theme - Unread Banner Icons, Web Icons, Message List Icons, dialog buttons (rescaled to the 320 x 240 icon size). I worked over most of the elements once I had them in PNG (somehow they were easier to manipulate than the ones that were extracted from the Precision theme files. Maybe I was just more patient this time round.)

I thought it was nifty for a little while, but the novelty wears off.
I'd vote against the bouncing icons.

I like the subtle bounce. Nothing wrong with that...as long as it is subtle. Most of the ones I have seen have been.

Compromise... Only the icons on the Bottom Zen version theme will bounce. The L and Today/Bottom Zen themes will be normal (no bounce). Fair enough?

How about having the Today bounce? Helps to bring out the icon in lieu of the busy screen of messages and calendar information.

Are you building it with 4.5 or 4.6? If 4.6, try the glow effect on the Today version, and bounce on the zen version.
Just my $.02

4.5 because it is more stable. |

Understood - that's been my approach too. I've run into a bunch of wonky errors and banner issues with beta-created themes.

Agreed.
Just to give everyone an update... We are going to TRY to get the majority of the themes available for download within the next 3-4 hours. The 7100/8100 Icon versions will possibly be delayed for a few more days. Sorry. |

If you would like to download, please go to the above link on your Blackberry's Browser. Find the dropdown menu, select the theme you want, and click on the Download Now button. Let us know if you have any questions!
I guess it didn't take quite as long as 3-4 hours.

Since you built these in the 4.5 the icons are customizable correct?

No... 4.5 does not allow for customizable icons. Common BCollins, you should know that. |

Looks nice bro.
But please, for the love of all things stylish, replace the Tx/Rx arrows. Those Dimension monsters are hideous. I've got some that mimic the Precision ones (at least I think that's where they came from - they may be my own concoction).
I haven't dug into resizing all the Precision icons yet, but I know it's a compromise between maintaining the right scale/proportion of the app icon and getting decent resolution. These look nice, but I might have gone a little bigger with them.
Cheers, and good luck on serving up the themes - I imagine you'll be seeing some decent traffic.
And congrats on the final product - this is a very high fidelity port of the theme.

We would have changed the Tx/Rz arrows, but they didn't look right - They were a solid black color, and not transparent. For some reason they couldn't be made transparent either. Maybe in a future update we will change the arrows.

I installed the Today/bottom zen and looks great.Don't take this as ungrateful but just feedback.
• During Spellcheck, all suggestion texts are blacked out and can't see them unless you highlight on them
• The preview text on the Today+ screen appears to be a little pixelated. Perhaps anti-lias would look better.
All else looks great. Thanks for sharing.
