Time to invest in pocket plus I guess... dagnabbit.... Looks great though Jason even if the cat was let out of the bag last week. :wink:

I love the theme. Hope he can do PPCT themes in other colours, like orange and green.

I was all excited when I saw this image on his What is on my screen? (http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/screen.html) page.

Where the red circle and the number 4 are, I thought that was an unread email indicator. Until I noticed the other numbers and descriptions at the bottom of the page.

Wonder how difficult it would be for PocketPlus to have an icon for Inbox and a number of unread messages? Having that in the PocketPlus Main tab would be nicer than the Today Inbox plugin. What do other people think?

Also I wonder where the larger icons come from for the battery and memory status. Is that something we can change in PocketPlus or do you have to be clever like Juni to do that?

Juni rocks as usual!!! :way to go:

I'm using this great new theme for the icons, but not the background. Juni, if you do this in VGA and need a beta tester, I'm your man.... 8)

Thanks!

I don't have Pocket Plus, but I loaded the theme on my 2215 anyway! (I wanted it for the background) It looks good and it rocks! :rock on dude!:

If you tap and hold on icons in the Today screen you can select to have the large icons displayed. I love the ability to move icons around anywhere I want and between tabs on the Today screen. Pocket Plus 2.0 ROCKS!!!

This is an awesome theme! Looks much better on my iPaq than just the screenshot in this post.

One complaint though, can you create a custom brighness icon? The power and memory ones look great, why not make the brightness one follow the same theme?
edit: now that I look closer, the screenshot on the first post does have a custom brightness icon. It's not showing up on my PPC though. :(

[juni]

I know, my bad with the brightness icon. If you have a device with auto-brightness it won't show up (I didn't know this since my 2210 doesn't have auto-brightness). I fixed it and sent the fixed version to Spb and Jason.

My apologies to everyone. :splat:

Jason gave me permission to post the Wisbar Advance skin I made for this theme at my site, so grab it if you use WA:

Excellent! Looks much better than the skin I was using with it! (PocketBlue (http://www.kolumbus.fi/anders.ruohio/wa/pocketblue.html))

Blaspheme!

The updates extended theme has been uploaded in place of the old one...

Juni,

The buttons for CPPRO on your OSX skin, are they available for download?

[lonesniper]

Also I wonder where the larger icons come from for the battery and memory status.

If you tap and hold on icons in the Today screen you can select to have the large icons displayed.

It appears you can change the size of other icons but not the battery, brightness or memory icons. If a program icon is selected from ADD/REMOVE ITEM - TAB "MAIN" ITEMS - CATEGORY: PROGRAMS then you have the option for a large icon.

I think I got confussed with the screenshot as I had different battery, brightness and memory icons because the POCKETPLUS - OPTIONS - APPEARANCE was set to 'Always use indicators from theme " "' as apposed to 'Follow original theme'. And the theme PocketPlus was followig had smaller icons.

It would be nice to have the large icon option available for the battery, brightness and memory icons.

Nice theme, for a great site. Good Job.
