MetroBerry 95xx Theme

Posted by admin On February - 26 - 2009

Hey everyone. I am working on a new theme called MetroBerry. I couldn’t think of a great name and had the idea that the theme has a bit of a modern feel to it, almost like an upscale part of town. The majority of the icons are skinned, with others to follow.

Here’s a screen shot:

There is a Today area, as well as a touch button between it and the icons that will open the BB menu. The theme is pretty hefty in size at the moment and I am working on cutting down the size.

Cost: Free, but donations accepted and appreciated.

OTA: http://www.nicholascooper.net/crackb…metroberry.jad

Wallpaper: http://www.nicholascooper.net/crackb…ywallpaper.jpg

Current Version: 2009.02.22.0235 filesize is just at 2MB, trying to thin down the theme.

Updates in version:
some icons re-skinned to look better and flow better with the theme.
dialog box pictures now skinned.
skinned some of the hidden images for call status.
set the home screen and application banners to be transparent, banner problems with portrait/landscape.
recompressed all PNG files to recapture file size, however the theme is around the same size w/ over 800K trimmed out of the PNG images.

Known Bugs as of 2/22/09:
Focus button for dialog is sketchy, sometimes works properly yet it is skinned in Plazmic properly.
Some additional hidden dialog images not skinned, most are.
Icon arrangement can be screwy on first install, should retain after theme is updated to newer version OTA or after battery pull.
Mute button in call active screen disables after mute is activated, can be undone with mute button on top of BB to keep function.
Some icons revert to defaults after export of theme, as well as fonts defaulting. Appears to be issue with Plazmic.
Going to 1 row will revert the wallpaper to default, link posted to wallpaper in jpg form so it can be stored on BB.
The calendar and SMS show Today info, but the email icons will not show the latest emails when highlighted.

Issues not related to theme, but OS version:
color banding on images, transparent images have slightly darker tint on dialogs.

    Good post! I plan to move into this stuff after I’m done with school, as most of it is time consuming. It’s a great post to reference back to. My blog needs more time to gain in popularity anyway.
