   Updated May 21: Version 2.5!
   Although I don't feel like my theme is truly finished yet, this version includes far more graphics than any previous versions. It combines slick translucent buttons and bars with matte silver accents. Feedback always appreciated! Did you find anything I missed?
   
   Known Issues: Landscape looks bad, but don't blame me. IMHO, PointUI should look into making top bars stretch accross the entire screen when in landscape, as well as other glitches. But amazing work, Monte, Joel, and Shane.
   Also, because there is only one graphic for the "plus sign," that icon looks better at the top right of the "all messages" pro screen than as a blank applet spot.

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

   May 13 - new skinny bottom buttons, new bars for the soft keys, titles, and homescreen applet indicator. New "selected" graphic for the menu and quicklaunch features. I promise to customize Pro features soon too, but this theme shouldn't look too bad mixed in with the default.
   

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

   April 28, 2009 - here's some alternate buttons I've been using. They're slightly less obtrusive, and leave around 12 extra pixels of room for larger applets (esp. the new Mystatus NorrinRadd has been working on).

   

   ---------------------

   Hi, here's the first release of a theme I'm working on. Sonic is simple, and uses sleek rounded corners, simple matte and glassy buttons, and understated glow selection effects. I'm still working on it though, it's subject to change, and I'd appreciate some constructive feedback too!

   The theme works especially well with gradient and other simple wallpapers, though any color and saturation should look good. Post screenshots if you've found a particularly good wallpaper, although I'm partial to the one included, created by art-styles over on DA.

   This theme matches my skin/mod for MyStatus (the applet pictured in the screenshots), which can be found here.

   This theme is (w)qVGA only, and I have no plans on supporting devices with larger screens. I design in Photoshop at 240*320, so even if I took the time to convert it, there could be a significant loss of quality.

   

   -----------------------

   April 15: added S2U2 skin, for A-C's popular locking application. Instuctions for use: on QVGA devices only. Dump everything in the included zip into program files > S2U2 > gfx, making sure it overwrites the originals. Then restart the program or soft reset. To make the clock work, edit the registry so that the time format is h':'mmt.

   Thank you

   Thanks - actually I intentionally removed weather from MyStatus, sorry - I never use weather as a feature, and I don't want my applets to try and do too much - that's why we've got 6 to 9 slots. That's just my view though, you could probably paste the weather code back in by comparing mine to icho1015's version.

   I understand - no probs. Maybe one day a weather applet, with yr and icho1015's applet styles perhaps?

   I do think my status is better without the weather added.
   would you consider a weather applet?? as I am very fond of this ui
   :-)
   good work,Matt

   Sure, I suppose I could try and skin the "5-Day Forecast" applet in this style. Maybe even messaging too. I hadn't thought it was possible at first, but now with costp's JIF-reading tools it should be pretty easy. Would those be your top choices for skinning in this style?

   For me - yes those 2 would kinda provide the "set". But only if you have time and are interested :P

   mine personally would definateley be the weather and maybe a conncetion one aswell as I do not use the messaging applet.
   just realised though...can you create a vga version of this applet and your theme,just installed both and they do not fit properly :-(

    Aussie_boi - sure I'm interested, I'm using them myself so it'd look even more complete.

    Rumble - :( sorry man, I've got a qVGA device and I'm designing at that resolution for myself - I could provide the PNGs if you wanted to try, but it won't look as good. I should've made that more clear in the description.

    I don't comment on themes often, but I had to give some feedback on yours, Brsev. Not only is your theme incredibly sleek and smooth, but it also takes on a unique blissful round carbon style. It so different, yet so attractive.

    Bravo,

    When running this theme the "Wireless Manager" on my device will not run. I switched back to the default theme and the Wireless Manager will run without any problems. What is this theme doing to prevent the Wireless Manager from being run. I like the them but also need the ability to run the Wireless Manager to turn wifi on/off, etc. I am running the QVGA version on an LG CT810.

    That's really weird. I haven't heard anything like that. I'd double-check you're running the newest version of PUI, 2.0.28e, otherwise I'm at a loss.

    I've tried to resize the S2U2 background for the omnia (WQVGA), but it looks like crap given the color fade. Think you could resize it so it spans the top/bottom of the screen? Nice work...

    Thanks, this should work - post a screenshot if the alignment looks off. (Rename to wallpaper.jpg and drop in the gfx folder.)

    This is the nicest looking theme I've used and I'm keeping it. I'm wondering if the phone,apps,contacts,sms buttons could be changed to the ones in the screen here:

    Thanks - I know my icons are kind of hard to distinguish, but I like them really stripped-down and simplified. If you want you can easily combine themes by dragging the appropriate JIFs over.

    Thanks. I like the simplified look as well. I just wish it would open the calendar program when I click on it the appointments area.

    Added alternate buttons for main screen, leaving more room for applets.

    I've released a minor update (see first post). Although everything looks significantly different than my earlier screenshots, I think you'll feel the new version is a more polished and professional implementation.
