the biggest thing about this theme is the start menu. unlike its predecessors, it features a full replica start menu. so you can access almost every blackberry app right from the start menu. 2 of the buttons are a working shutdown menu just like you see in windows 7 which reveal a sub menu with the options to power off your blackberry or lock the screen.

when you first load this theme to your BB. it may appear to run slow. just go through your menus and give it time to cache all the files and it should be good to go.

Update history--
v.1.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--fixed messages spelling in start menu.
--added new lock screen.
--now clicking the 'start' orb again after opening the start menu, will close the start menu. the escape (back) button will still close the start menu as well.
--replaced 'maps' icon.
--added hotspots over the time on taskbar that opens the clock. and hotspot left of battery to open manage connections. ( but as im learning, the storm dosnt have wifi? someone please confirm this if ALL storms lack wifi. as i will put another banner icon in the wifi's place. )
-OS v.151 FIX APPLIED. i found the fix for .151 hope it works. if you are not willin to risk it. i understand. but it would be helpful to other .151 users and other theme developers. but it works just fine on previous versions. also, someone has stated that it works fine on 5.0.140
[ they do not have simulators for these versions i cant confirm this]

im sill new to making themes and this is my first one for the storm. so everyones help is needed.

if anyone can provide screen captures with third party icons on the home screen. i would appreciate it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

v.1.5 updates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--added 2 icons with text to homescreen for weatherbug/meterberry, others.. (1st and 2nd app position)
--added hotspots over the battery, the clock, and the network meter. see screenshot
--date added to homescreen
--application name added to homescreen.
--phone call text enlarged.
--added SMS and MMS icons.

i wanted to add a today area. but it just wont fit. it ends up covering up the start menu if it appears while its open.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


v1.5 + today added.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

well, i did the best i could to implement a today area. i repositioned some buttons in the start menu, and had it show up in the start menu with 5 lines. its not perfect, but its there.
i personally dont care for a start area. and dont really get peoples obsession with it. but to each his own.. =]
if you dont care to have a today area i would stick with regular 1.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

v2 & v2 + today
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ive reworked all the functions in the SVG for this version. hopefully this will help for some people experiencing battery and memory drain. i dont have a blackberry anymore. and not really sure what to do about it exactly.
all the features from previous version still apply.
in version 2 + today, they today area is moved to bottom of start menu, with smaller text now with 6 lines.
new wallpaper with blur effect under the task bar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

click the title =]

James, I wanted to post this here too.

From CB.

yes, azaurath, i noticed that as well. im not sure if there is a fix for this. it is a problem within the plazmic software, i think. im hoping they will have an update soon. and i will look more into it.

i posted v2 in the boxlike download section and updated the first post in this thread.

I've been running v2 for quite a few days and I must say I'm highly impressed. No leak issues as I ran my Storm idle for a day. memory started at 47mb, dropped to about 44mb at the end of the day. Very solid theme from a very solid creator/developer.

lee can you get me a screen capture of v2 using weatherbug and meterberry? id love to see it.

Hi,

I'd also love to see some more screenshots. Anyway, thanks for this. Still waiting for the update.

Regards,
Jay
Pret travaux

can you not see the screenshot attachments?

just a quick FYI

I cannot bring up my keyboard or push the BB key to bring up the small bar/list so that i can select "show keyboard", when i want to create a new folder, also i cannot click "add" button.

is it a glitch? or is it a bug on my BB ?


Cheers
