This is a request thread for us to try and tell the great folks at Plazmic what we, as the users of the Theme Builder software, would like to see in the next release. I know from time to time they do look through the treads on the BBForums. Maybe if the see all the requests in one place it won't be so hard on them.

Please post your top desires here.

This said, what I would like to see for the 8700 series is a simpler banner layout for the Icon base theme. Something like the banner that is used on the Zen theme. Don't want it to be fancy, just something that efficiently shows the status and doesn't interfere too much with the wallpaper.

Thanks Plazmic for a great tool. Hope for an upgrade soon.

I would like the option to create a list theme for the BB 7520

[DesertDog]

I would like the option to create folders and move stuff into them, both for icon and list theme. And ZEN for the 7100i, possibly with the option of the icons running across the bottom instead of down the side.

[KonTiki]

Please make ZEN available for all formats, it is a lot of people's favorite from all formats but we cant use it in them. Thank you in advance from a lot of users.

[srl7741]

I support any reasonable request made here. The program is great and the more options the happier the croud.

Zen for the 7100 would be a treat and font options would also be a treat that many would like.



I hope you consider many.

Do you mean as base themes for modification in the Theme builder?

Thanks for your input.

Please be as specific as posible in your requests. And let's keep them to additions and tweaks to the Theme Builder program.

srl7741 what fonts do you mean?

Thanks for your input also

Sorry, yes. I want to be able to use it on my 7250, and as a base that would make it possible for the rest of us, short of that not been possible then if they just plain make the same one that is already available to others to all the platforms.

I think Zen will be available for the 7130e. Not sure about the 7100i or the regular GSM 7100 series, though. It requires 'enhanced theme' support, which I'm not sure if the regular handhelds are capable of. It seems like only the newer 64MB devices are, to be honest. But then again, it could be simply a certain build of 4.1 that enables it. Either way, there is a 7100 series Zen theme, and it should be available here shortly ... just not sure which 7100 handhelds it will be compatible with (I've posted a screenshot).

[jibi]

Also, I'd like to say that I think the major issue for the Theme Builder will likely be stability of the OS with EXTREMELY customized themes (such as the ones Plazmic has made available through the mobile.blackberry site). For that reason alone, I doubt we'll ever see an expanded version of the application, to the extent that we'll have free roam to design whatever we want with little to no constraints. They have given us the ability to cover what they've done with our own eye-candy, and I think that's all we'll get, to be honest.

[coreyg510]

I agree. I can forsee a lot of issues with "free roam" (as jibi put it) in the theme builder. The eye candy is great and all, but to me it seems that once all of the possible avenues for customization are explored, it will become another one of my "forgotten toys"

Jibi,

Can you post the link to the Zen theme on the 71xx?

I agree that "free roam" is not in the future, but additional base themes are and that is what most of us want. I think multiple banner sets and the ability to change the image on the lock screen are about all that I really want added.

[coreyg510]

Maybe the ability to interchange particular pieces of multiple themes. such as banner or icon positioning. this would obviously take some work, but I think that it would open the ability to customize 10 fold

[coreyg510]

Also, what about an included set of icons. That was the hardest part for me when customizing. The icons were a PIA to find

they do have an alternate included set, though...

Hey jibi,

Any idea when the Zen theme will be available for the 71xx?
