Silver Fox

[claidheamhmor]

The Silver Fox BlackBerry theme is ready and available.

There are versions for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, Bold 9000 and Bold 9700. A version for the Curve 8520 is in the works, but I still have a few issues with it.

They can be downloaded from the links below. The themes are zipped; unzip them into a folder and load them with BlackBerry Desktop Manager. I unfortunately don't have suitable webspace for OTA links.

Notes about the theme:

• It's a Zen-like custom theme, intended to improve the wallpaper-viewing look of the standard Precision Zen theme.


• Silver Fox uses an icon set primarily based on the Crystal set, with additions from other sources, and with some Mac-like icons. Melancthe sized and tuned the majority of the icons, and created a number of them entirely.


• Most dialogs/menus have been left fairly standard. The notification icons (battery, signal, etc.) are all standard as they work well with the theme.


• The general idea of the theme is the use of silver and brushed metal combined with black leather.


• There are a few icons I'm unable to change in the theme, like "Now playing..." and the Gmail mail icon. This seems to be a limitation of the BlackBerry Theme Builder.

If you have comments, suggestions, or problems, please let me know.
