I do absolutely love this theme. My only complaint is that there's no ClearType/font smoothing set up for any of the menu or list fonts.

I've thought about enabling that, but decided against it for the time being. It's ultimately part of the larger problem that keeps coming up: that the Plazmic theme creator software sets the theme's fonts in stone and doesn't allow the end-user to change them after the theme is on the device. I personally don't usually use anti-aliasing on the BB system fonts for lists and messages and such because at those small sizes I think it makes it a little blurry. I have an alternate font idea I'm going to explore with the next release though (whenever I get to it) that might make more people happy.

Beautiful Disaster · 10-10-2007, 04:17 PM

love it
one question, if i lock my bb8800, i see this grey spotted background, how (if its even possible) can i turn that into the clownfish pic?
thanks

Great theme. I have the same grey spotted background problem.

guitarboy17 · 10-11-2007, 02:53 AM

Any chance that you can make a theme for the 7130g? I think another person asked that earlier but I couldn't find a response. Great looking theme! Excellent work.

vinniet · 10-11-2007, 08:38 AM

Hello ... Thanks .. I love the theme. I have two things that I "personally" would like to see.

1. I would like to have the battery moved because when you send and receive, the arrow symbols covers the battery.

2. On the Today screen I would like to have more entries for Messages and Calendar and none for Call Log. I could always press the call button to get that information.

Again just my personal wish list.

Understandable, certainly. I'm just a stickler, I suppose. =P Why not have two versions, one with smoothing, and one without?

Stevekatz · 10-11-2007, 01:19 PM

I downloaded it onto my friends (hopefully still is) 8703e, and the bberry rebooted once it was finished downloading. Now the screen says "Data Abor..." with a button the reset, it happens every-time. And of course he doesn't have any backup. Can some on please help?

thanks,

You did that to your friends Berry after all the posts about it not working too well with 87XX?

==============

http://rogersmj.com/images/bPhone_cu..._available.jpg

I created this to get myself reacquainted with Plazmic after a long absence. I know there are a lot of iPhone themes out there, and I don't know if mine is any better, but I thought I'd whip one up. Except for 7 or 8 icons directly from the iPhone, I created all the indicators, home screen icons, and buttons from scratch.

Desktop and OTA download links are here: RogersMJ.com: bPhone

OLD UPDATES
====================
2007-09-20: Version 1.21 released
- Removed folder from 8100 Icon version
- Added 8100 Today version
- Added 8800 Icon and Zen versions
- Added 8300 Zen version
- Minor tweaks to banner on 8100 Icon version to try to center the time/date better

2007-09-18: Version 1.2 released
- Added 8300 Curve Icon style
- Tweaks to header and menus
- Adjusted focus overlay for 8100 Zen style
- Redesigned 8100 Zen tabs
- Added Bluetooth Setup icon
- Fixed browser dialog typing bug

2007-09-14: Version 1.1 released
- Tweaks to Icon version (revised header, new buttons, larger clock)
- Fixed Google Maps menu bug
- New menu color (light gray instead of dark)
- ZEN style

The background for "locked screen" in Iphone theme for 8100, does anyone have it? What is it called? Where can i get it? Thanks everyone.

Some people (like me) are happy with the way the fonts are now.

I second that... would be great to have the pic.

mrogers · 10-12-2007, 05:20 PM

When the lock screen was the clown fish, I had a number of requests to make it something else. I picked the Mac OS X-style metal grille because it fits the Mac aesthetic (somewhat) and it's relatively neutral. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to change it on the user end. Another limitation of the Plazmic software.

It sucks that 8700 devices are so picky with the theme. Nothing I can do but warn people as much as possible! Even if you think you have the right OS version, I really would strongly recommend not installing the theme unless you've backed up all your data and are prepared to un-brick your BB if necessary.

ikasen · 10-12-2007, 06:49 PM

I hate to sound like a commercial for your theme, but I like it the way it is, and think it would suck with the clownfish as the lock screen. I know it's all in peoples different likes and dislikes, but the clownfish is so busy, you can't see all the icons without getting a headache. This is coming from someone that has an almost all black background for his homescreen and loves your fonts, I realize there may be others that think my taste sucks.

As for the people that are bricking their phones due to having the wrong os, be careful and good luck.

sean102385 · 10-13-2007, 11:05 AM

sorry to ask a stupid question I have downloaded the bphone and have my desktop manager installed on my phone but now how do i get the theme onto my phone?

I just got my pearl last tuesday.

thanks in advance

luisumf · 10-15-2007, 12:49 AM

This is an amazing theme, but beware i installed it on my 8800 and it looks great and works great but when i restarted my bb i got the endless beach ball (hourglass) i had to reinstall without the battery, please check this bug since your theme is a very well done one and i hate that i cant use it

keep up the good work

wcberry · 10-15-2007, 09:35 PM

I installed the bPhone theme on my 8820. Looks great. Since I did not see a version just for the 8820, I installed the version for the 8800. It seems to work fine, except that I notice that in messages, PIN messages no longer show up in Red as they did before.

Is this because the theme is really not for the 8820 or is it something I am overlooking?
