Thread: So Professional *BETA* by SoCalMiles - *Please Test!!*

Not Finished!! I Only need feedback on the Proscreen and standby screen look and FUNCTION! These are default walls as well as everything else. I removed the borders around the icons once I seen how good they look in color...real professional. I may or may not skin them with different colors depending on well...you...the Beta Testers. I have learned that updating themes when I have 16 versions is A LOT of unnecessary work! So If you don't speak up TODAY it won't happen. I plan on finishing this and having it up by tomorrow. THANK YOU and Enjoy![/COLOR] Enjoy

Ill test it too and give a feedback

or add me on BBM and i can give you better info 3070E162

Downloading now, will report back in a bit.

Its Hot..The only thing is that on main menu, when you select an icon, you cannot tell if its selected unless you look at the top where the app name is located. Some icons are filled in white but some have no color effect. If you can, maybe add some sort of Highlight color (maybe Blue or red) to every icon when selected..Just my $.02! Otherwise, Very snappy theme and I like the window in landscape,,,Great Job as usual

SoCal great job on bringing up new concepts for themes! One thing I noticed is the sounds profile icon on the app screen doesn't highlight or even show. And...just my opinion...don't like the Windows messenger icon for BBM, never have in any theme. Thanks for your work and time u put into themes! Great job!

Really like the concept SoCal, there are a couple of things that for me I would like to see. First when in pro mode the message indicator is always on even without having messages. Second I have a personal preference to color icons not so much grey. Other than that it is a very snappy theme and very creative. Keep up the fantastic work my friend.

i understand and like the little blue message indicator following what you have selected but it looks too much like a new message...maybe it could be changed to something else.


i'm a gray lover but to me it's just a bit too much gray.maybe a little more color somewhere...maybe the other colors you were talking about would fix this for me

when you touch the date it doesn't show the hidden today,you have to touch the actual icon on the bottom to get the hidden today calendar.

the app screen has no focus for 3rd party icons

would like to see the time as a hidden button for the clock

i would kinda like to see the profile icon constant so i could see what profile i'm in at a glance

i'm liking the bottom dock and the speed and ease of use

looks great...hope you didn't take my post as criticism ...just my opinions.you do great work!

Great concept! I love the way it looks.
My findings:
1. The SMS button on the professional page is not working.
2. The profile icon when set to normal does not show.
3. In professional screen....messages, sms, & calendar are not previewed by the hotspots, therefore you would still need to have those icons in the sliding dock for the "hidden" feature to work. This seems a little redundent to me. I'd love to see the hotspots for these allow the preview.
4. Love the lock screen with all the info, however the black on black is difficult to read.
5. Would be nice to have some sort of focus for the app screen.

Overall a very cool theme! With a few tweeks this will be great! I can see myself using this for work! What other colors are you planning to do?

Thanks for all your hard work SoCal!

ahh...just noticed how the today calendar stays on when you go to standby...love that!

Just downloaded, will play with it for a few and hit ya back. Very innovative, I was thinking of doing something similar but coming for the sides. might just have to do it.

Been using it for the past couple of hours now. I really like the theme.
like bbcrackman said the message indicator that highlights without messages
may need adjustment. More color would also be cool.

nice job !

change your sms and email inboxes to "theme controlled" and it will work.

there is no caret when using the hidden today items

Where do I do that????

However that won't work for the calendar will it?


Edit: I found it and changed it but it still didn't make the message previewable.

It did make the sms button clickable.........but will this also combine all the emails and sms into one box?

I will try not to repeat anything:

1. Arrows in the sliding dock might work better, letting you know which direction the dock is sliding.

2. Today screen did not seem to work for me at all, on cal, sms, mes or anything else.

Other than what the others have posted thats it, other than my email inbox's were cleared, but i don't think that was the theme.

I also wanted to offer some props. For a beta, to do it in grey scale, with black on black is a freakin genius idea. Who would continue to run a beta and not download/pay for the the app? I'm using that idea from now on.
