Raestloz's THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE theme for BlackBerry 9700

[Raestloz]

Hello, this is Raestloz posting

You might have seen my Kaspersky 2010, Firefox, and Symbian40 3rd skin thread, where I stated I might try skinning for BlackBerry smartphone. Well, I did, and as usual it's another THE iDOLM@STER product.

I name it THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE. Why? Is that name not fitting enough? Anyway, screenies and download link is at the botom of this post

Features:
1. The ONLY THE iDOLM@STER theme for BlackBerry (That I know of. Come to think of it: I might be the first person on earth to create an iM@S theme for BlackBerry!)

2. Carefully crafted with love and dedication (I spent literally weeks to make this).

3. Sports high-resolution images (Mostly because Bold 9700 has 480x360 screen)

4. Rotating scroll dock that follows your top 6 application order


Drawbacks
1. This is an amateur attempt by a mortal fan. Do not expect great things here. I do, however, try to do my best in adding fancy features

2. This theme is custom built, as in each and every part was made to work with another. As such, this theme is very NOT customizable (also, it's a custom theme already)

3. This theme was made with ME in mind. That's right: each and every part of this theme is made to suite my liking, not anyone else's. If you don't like a part of this theme, please bear with it. You can, however, suggest things, I'm not an expert designer, you see (and your liking might be incorporated)

4. I do not customize all of the available icons, notably LDAP certificates and Reminder (whatever the hell this reminder is). One, I don't use ceritifcates, two Calendar, Memopad, Tasks, Clock, whatever it is that has a reminder have already been customized. I'm baffled as to what this Reminder here do

Well, download link:
MediaFire
MultiUpload (just because it happened)

Extract the zip file
Locate the .alx (the .cod should be in the same directory) with BlackBerry Desktop Manager and install it

THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE 0.8.2 changelog

New in this version:

1. Brand new lockscreen (and lock icon too, that "locked" text is clearly visible in the actual device)



2. Redesign of application icons (under construction), featuring a fresh idea for browser: Neko (don't ask me "Why cat?" Ask Mozilla "Why godzilla?").



3. New hourglass animation and messages header

Changes from previous version
Reduced SVG frames to 2 for better performance

Development notes:
Homescreen SVG development is on hold until application icons redesign is complete

[Raestloz]

It looks like testing the thing with the actual device and condition is much better. Just today I experienced a bit of problem with the call screens. Both of them, namely the fonts are too damn big they obscured each other

I've reduced the font size. Should still be clearly visible, but I'll test it with actual data

Also, icons are being redesigned.

EDIT: Forgot to add acknowledgement, silly me.

THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE icons are designed using Andantonius' (Highly Realistic) Pencil Brush

[Raestloz]

I've reduced the call screen's font size and now while they're not too big, they're a bit too small.

I'll have to reconfigure them again. For now, I need to think about the custom icons I've been making, some of the icons are too small. There is also a problem with the icons being a bit hard to see around Haruka's face in applications list. However, that's not a real issue (it's still clearly visible, only Haruka's face make it a bit colorful, depending on what icon is there)

[Raestloz]

After a few bits of tweaking I figured out a some problems with my SVG code and remade it completely.

version 0.9 will feature a brand new SVG with proper animation and highlights

[Raestloz]

I just posted an hour and a half before but here's version 0.9

THE iDOLM@STER MOBILE 0.9



New in this release:
Support for focus icons in homescreen
Proper support for homescreen profile app
6 icons available for homescreen instead of 5

Changed in this release
Remade SVG code for homescreen
Removed navigational dummy icons



version 0.8.3 was for testing purposes, changes include:
0.8.3
Changed call screens font size

0.8.3b
More custom icons

0.8.3c
Changed icons for folders (default folder, media, games, setup, downloads, instant messaging)

[Raestloz]

Well, I can't help but post it

version 0.9b is out. Pretty much just a lot of new custom icons. Version 1.0 will include custom backgrounds for menus and such. But for now custom icons is the priority

[Raestloz]

this is a bit late because I accidentally wiped my BlackBerry when installing the theme (silly me, I know of a safe method but chose a more troublesome way instead) and was in a bad mood, but here's version 1.0

I'll update the first post with screenshots and whatnot
