Here’s another little gem I found recently. A theme called T E X T by Simple Designs. I reviewed another one by this developer called SPACE and this one is just as good, if not better. Text offers everything you want in a theme these days, from hidden docks to OCD slot, and custom battery and signal meters, as well as 2 color options (Blue and Pink), so everyone is happy, guys and girls both. Simple Designs is a relative new comer to the world of theme developing and I wanted to show you some of his work. And the customer service is great. I had an issue with something on the theme and he fixed it almost immediately. That too me, is just as important as the theme itself. So read more and find out about this great theme T E X T.
The home screen when you load up the theme is pretty clean and fresh. The blue color chosen is relaxing to the eye and not stimulating. Calm, cool and collected. No fuss. Banner on the bottom with clock on the right, notifications on the left. Custom signal and battery meter just above the clock. Both the clock and signal meter are hot spots for clock and manage connections. There is an ocd slot on the top left below the cool looking text dock. The hidden text dock is not user defined and includes popular applications such as BBM, Memo Pad, SMS, and Options. Use space to show and esc to hide. The text is clear, and navigation smooth.
Not only is there the top text dock, there is also a 4 icon dock for apps 2-5 on your application screen. App 1 is the ocd app. I like these smaller docks, as I personally tend to use my favorites on the home screen and I go to the app screen to access all the others. But for those who want access right from the home screen, this is also works because you have the text dock, and hot spots on home screen giving you plenty of apps to choose from. This dock can be shown by clicking on the blue dot on the bottom left of the banner and clicking again to hide.
Maybe you want a super clean home screen? Well you can. Just hide both docks, and as you hide the top dock, the ocd slot moves over to the top right hand corner. Very neat. Now you have full view of the wall paper. Looks very sharp.
The application screen has the same cool crisp shade of blue found on the default home screen. The menu is also a cool shade of the same blue with subtle tones throughout. The focus is a doodle looking circle which I think adds a bit of fun to the theme. It’s actually a nice idea. The same focus is used on the home screen. The Blue version has a red focus, and the Pink version will have uhm a pink focus.
This is what the Pink version look like. Everything the same, just Pink highlights throughout.
However way you choose to set it up, with whatever wall paper you choose, TEXT will look great on your phone. Navigation is very easy and I have had no lag at all with this one. Simple Designs is a developer you will want to look out for. His themes are different and have small files sizes which I love. I like to save all the memory I can. Text in either blue or pink is a crisp and clean theme, and you won’t go wrong with this one. And to show you how much Simple Designs is serious about his themes, he has given me 10 copies to give away. 5 Blue and 5 Pink. Please make a comment on the theme and what color you would like and make 3 posts in the forums. The winners will be contacted. If you don’t win or want both colors (why wouldn’t you?)..you can get it at the BBE Store for $2.99: Blue and Pink. T E X T is available for most devices on OS5 and OS6. Get you Text on!
