| I think it looks great - keep going!!
We definitely need more good-looking themes for ZLauncher - especially with a better signal strength indicator... |

| I'm gonna do the rest of the icons during this weekend, i hope they will be finished on sunday.
The theme it's gonna take a bit i'm still checking how to do it....
but the icons are on the way, re-doing all of them and looking great.
Update: The new icons look like this so far: 
The apps done are: Email, Notepad, Docs to Go, Splash ID, Blue Pill, Task and Clock, oh yeah and the On/Off button for future Zlauncher skin i hope.
Let me know if you want an icon for a popular app ´cause i don't have them all so if you can recommend me wich popular app i should do the icon (besides the palm os built in)
See you

| are they transparent or they have a black background. I don't know if its possible to have a transparent background?
Icons that would be nice:
Hotsync, messenger, GoogleMaps, Calculator.
Have to find that blackberry background and theres a ways to space out and but the icons just on the bottom. This can be a real blackberry theme.
Great work. |

| I'm making them transparent but because of the color neon blue they may fade out on a clear background, but i was thinking of doing a varios sets of colors not only the blue one so everyone will be pleased.
Thanks for the img there a lot of icons i haven't seen, a lot of work to do
see you |

| As i told i'm redoing all icons so far this is how it looks:
the bad news: Transparency won't be an option becasue of the blury effect it looks bad... any suggestions? (colors, no blur, etc.)  |

| I recommend keeping the black frame around the icons, with perhaps nicely rounded edges so if a user wants to display them against colored background or image, they have a clean graphic instead of just a large square. Hope this makes sense.

| The original blackberry has a blackish transparent shade around the icons much like the same shape as the iphone icons but with the icon in the middle. If it can't be transparent in zlauncher, than black is your best bet. By the way Iniciate and TreoLauncher icons can have transparency, there 44x44 gifs where the first color is the transparent one if i'm not mistaken. http://wiki.hobbyistsoftware.com/wi...plication_Icons
If later you want to make these icons for other launchers, the color black can be transparent. |

| The Zlauncher can do it but the blury effect from the icons make the transparency look ugly... i'm trying to figure out what to do, maybe i will reduce the blur and glow. |
