Yeah, well your 8700 version is quite nice I'm sure. However, I bricked my 8703e with it. Got confused and thought you meant 8700 series. This is my first blackberry ever. :P I could try and wipe it but it won't stay turned on long enough to maintain a connection to my pc, and Sprint replaces it for free within the first 30days. But now I've gotta wait up to 5 business days for the replacement. Oh well! Don't make the same mistake as me people!

Thanks for the info.

It's been answered several times. The fonts will stay as-is for now, in order to try to accommodate the largest user base.

I'm really sorry about that! It appears that the 8700 series is taking badly to this theme if you don't have the right OS version. I've always maintained that the minimum OS requirement is 4.2.1, which a lot of 8700 and 8703 users don't have by default. On most devices, if you install a theme without having the minimum OS required, it will simply not show the theme in the theme list. On the 8700, it is showing the theme, and it is allowing you to apply it, even when you don't have the right OS. This is what I've been able to gather from a few bricked 8700c/8703e users over the last few days. So I've tried to increase the visibility of the minimum OS requirements on my web site, and I'll say it here too:

WARNING: You MUST have OS 4.2.1 or later or you may render your BlackBerry 8700 series unusable!

Another bug I have found on the 8300 Zen version, very similar to the Symbol screen problem, however when composing an email and selecting the address to send from (if you have multiple email account on your BB) it has the same problem. Cuts off the screen on the right side.

It looks like one of the standard BB fonts - either SanSerif Square or Millbank Tall - set to 12 points.

You can set fonts to that size in Plazmic, but not on the device itself. The smallest I've been able to set on the device is 7, which translates into about 14 points.

Now that I think about it, I'm not sure which unit these are measured in - points or pixels - but I know that the smallest on the handset is not the smallest available through Plazmic.

I always figured it was BB Clarity at 7pt, no bold

You know, that may be the case in the newer version. I still have the older, small font version installed, before all the whinging about font size came about. Dunno. I've actually started using 12 pt BBSanSerifSquare in my personal themes.

I use Trebuchet MS (anti-aliased) for the home screen, buttons, menus, and banner. I use BB Clarity for dialogs, lists, etc.

All i can say is WOW, THIS THEME IS AWSOME THANK YOU

I have a few screenshots, I haven't put them in a gallery yet though. Here's one:

Any chance of posting a pic of the 8300 Today version?
Thanks........

[mrogers]

Don't have any screenshots of Today yet.

I'm still getting reports of some people bricking their 87xx devices when installing the theme, even with 4.2.1 installed. I have 4.2.1.91 on my simulator and it runs the theme fine. ALL 87xx USERS, please indicate whether you were successful in installing it or not, and give me your device model number (8700c, 8707v, etc) and exact OS version (e.g., 4.2.1.91). I want to figure exactly which versions are having trouble with this so no one else has to wipe their phone with the Java loader. Very poor OS design, if you ask me, that a theme can render the whole thing unusable.

This is great, thanks!!!

Excellent work, donation sent (I forgot to put a note for what the donation was for, but I sent the money).

Thanks a bunch, I know how much time these themes take to produce.

Is there anyway to get the Zen theme menu on the bottom instead of the left side? similar to the tmobile zen theme? Im really liking this bphone theme, but i like to be able to view my fave's w/out having to select a shortcut to do so.
