First impressions on my trial:
1- Would increase font size in top bar
2- would add more icons in the hidden dock and show their names above or below the icosn just like you do in the home screen
3- would try to show "unread messages" in the main screen when hovering on the "messages" icon, same for calendar (This is a MUST, and most other themes nowadays have it)
3-Report that theme is stable and love and appreciate the font size increase while in the menu. Thoughtful and practical!
All around a VERY nice theme!

Ok. just downloaded what I guess is just a new background for the theme. It may be advantgeous for all that future trial downloads offer a changelog prior so we know what to expect...
Impressions:
1- NEED to have your themes remember previous selectios for groupings in folders! It's a real hassle to have to re-arrange everything everytime we download a new theme... Yours and anyone else's!
2- On that note; why does it decide to put all apps in the "application" folder? 99.9% of the themes either put them in the "HOME" screen which is even a BIGGER hassle, or correctly in the "Downloads" folder; but at least when you do any new downloads they remember to put them in the "Downloads" folder which in my opinion is where they belong.
As a user, app rearrangement is the biggest peeve, and I'm sure this sentiment is widespread.
Will keep giving you feedback as appropriate.
Thanks,
Ray

Almost forgot! I would lighten the color or something in the icon selector as it a little hard to know where you are even with the bright backlight...

All users who requested to participate in the beta test drive have been sent links. Meanwhile there have been some updates to the theme. It now includes a black fiber wall as default and all of the dialog icons have been changed to fit the new icon pack. Also an error was found in the icons, a small white transparent highlight was appearing on the top of each icon. So we sent the icon pack to be reworked by the designer. As soon as he sends us the updated icons we will post the updates to the download links you received via PM. Also we managed to slim down the theme from 1.9 MB to 0.9 MB with some optimizations which will make it run even faster on your Bold smartphone.


I installed the update and I am very pleased with it! Thanks for changing the options to open the dock...Really makes a difference. It is very much more responsive and I really enjoy the default background...i'm not sure I want to change it. But I just noticed the notification icons on the top. Is there a reason the service "3G/EDGE" indicator is on oposite sides from the "bars" reception indicator?

I don't think I can make my phone show all the notification icons up top. Could you post where they would appear? so far I have seen the missed calls/voicemail, new message, blue tooth, wifi, bbm, but not all at the same time.

Well I am unable to get more then one at a time but they appear one next to the other. As soon as I trick the phone into showing more then one I will send you the screen.

1. I don't think there is a way to do that yet in Plazmic CDK I have the same problem but no solution yet
2. As for the default folder I think it got fixed they are in the "Downloads" folder now by default. It will be in the next release.
3. We are working on the other suggestions... so stay tuned.

UPDATE v0.3:
  • Highlight changed to a more visible blue one to go with the buttons, the gray/black/light white just did not do the job (Suggested by rorosz)
  • The application name appears as status text when on home screen (Suggested by rorosz)
  • The folder where installed apps are put by default is Downloads (Suggested by rorosz)
  • Also you can control how you email/sms/mms messages are shown there are icons for all
  • Shaved a bit more from the size of the theme

Download links stay the same as sent via PM!


For some of the other things suggested here we are working to change the templates in composer or to find our how the hack to do some things :blink: we admit we are new to theme making but we are learning fast.
