Nice ROM, Thank you so much Hope you complete v1.2 as soon as with more improvements

Really nice. I'll wait some feedbacks and more languages included

I would like to say yes, but i haven't got the focus and so far wp7 has proved to be very picky about what we can change in the rom, therefore making very difficult to test, never the less i will do some research about it.
as for other request, the plan is to also release a build with other languages one we get them

faria.
nice work faria , cool to see some more Tango rom's here.
let us make all happy
Sorry, but I refuse to use these ROMs with butt-ugly themes pre-installed. You don't mix the flat nature of Metro with these silly glassy backdrops. I'd suggest you keep the look default and emphasise the ability to use custom themes.

Here's the thing - what kind of value do you think you are adding to the device by skinning it? You're providing an uglier, fragmented UI - things that Android OEMs are hated for.
Didn't mean to offend you personally, but all these custom ROMs I'm checking out are stuffed with bloat. If you go back to the roots with Windows Mobile or Android, custom ROMs are to get rid of the clutter. I don't see why Windows Phone tweakers think they should do the opposite.

Thanks for the feedback, the idea is to have a black backdrops but so far I had no success I changing the font color.
In the same note, I refuse to to wear pink trousers! Just because my wife likes it I m not forced to wear them. I will explain reasons behind the theme later on.Have a nice day.

Here is the reason behind the theme…..
The theme is part of a bigger project to customize all the icons in the rom , this will look great with a black backdrop/accents and will gives us better battery due to the nature of the screen.
As you may know , or not, using the same theme colour and accents renders the highlighted letters invisible, so we need to change the color of the font,so far we have been unableto do so plus at the moment if you try to cook a custom theme into the rom it simply breaks the unsigned apps unlock rendering unsigned apps useless .
You're providing an uglier, fragmented UI - things that Android OEMs are hated for.

Whats the point then? Lets just use the carrier rom!What do you expect? Different oems different skins etc,if it really bother people they should get an iphone.
Really… let not confuse things here, this is one device alone, neither m I using a different framework for the theme, this is not Htc sense VS Touchwiz, So In theory you can flash any update into my rom provided its is the same version without breaking anything.
In windows mobile chefs integrated apps to save space but users could not remove them,but guess what pretty much every app in my rom can be uninstalled by the user plus we don’t have limited space on our devices as windows mobile devices did.
All we are doing is trying to better our devices but its is early days, and we just started scratching the surface and I for one had enough of flat metro theme after a year stuck with it.
In the end the choice is yours.
Regards
Faria
I will personally deal with all the people who FORCE others to use their ROM
But if it's free to use and free NOT to use, I really can't see what's wrong then
Keep up the good work people, the things are cooking up for Omnia7 these days and it's nice to see it.

Custom ROMs allow for tweaks not possible with a carrier ROM - examples being a higher number of apps shown in the task switcher, and a full unlock. I think it's very hard to say that either of those tweaks will be bad for a user of a custom ROM. The same cannot be said about skinning Windows Phone. Also, Windows Mobile wasn't purely about saving space, it was about optimising the ROM to run better and nicer.
If you'll take any advice from me, remember this: you are never going to get away from Metro on Windows Phone. The apps you use will have it. There will be underlying bits of UI which you will be unable to skin. I will guarantee that you will end up creating something that is neither beautiful in the way Sense or iOS can be, nor industrial like Metro.
If you read reviews of Android devices, you'll see that often the manufacturer skins that OEMs provide do offer extended functionality that can be useful. However, the UI changes and custom launchers are almost universally received poorly. Ever wondered why Microsoft isn't allowing any manufacturers to skin the UI? Hint: it's not just them being control freaks.

I like a lot of things about the ROM. I'm not going to get angry if Faria doesn't keep things stock, I simply won't use it as you say. However, I think the concept of providing a semi-skinned ROM is a bad move by default. In fact, trying to skin Metro at all is a sign that you don't understand good design and UI. I don't mean to offend Faria or anyone else, but you'll never get your skin to fully extend into third-party apps and other experiences. Hence, you will always be fragmenting the interface by trying to introduce your own skin.
Sorry if I've offended anyone here, but good design is something that Microsoft has lacked for a long time. I feel like Metro is their break.

Regardless, I wish you the best in your endeavour. It's ambitious, I'll give you that. I can see how your skin will be nice if it's fully implemented, most of my uncalled-for bashing was related to the co-existence of conflicting design languages - either is fine by itself, but when combined they don't work.
I'm worried that you're going to run into heaps of restrictions (ie. how the start screen background is a solid colour). If you somehow get this thing working, hats off to you!
Fix Omnia 7 Bluetooth issue?
My Omnia 7 currently gets stuck at searching for bluetooth devices, does this rom solve this?
This is, IMHO, the best Omnia 7 Tango ROM out there.
Everything works and looks great. Battery life is fantastic too. A lot better than the Mi7ROM which is currently doing the rounds.
Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to the next version (if there is one).
This one's a keeper!!!!

This is an unqualified comment, because mi7ROM isn´t "doing the rounds" here. mirolg was one of the first cookers after DFT has released the first custom rom. Also he was the first who cooked in the HTC drivers.
How this rom could be "a lot better" than other roms ? All available roms are only dumped. With all respect but the cookers are only replacing packages or adding packages from different builds or other custom roms...
Next time remember your thanksmeter before you post unqualified comments.
Thanks.

PointUI has been out for only one week, and skins are coming soon!
According to the developers of this free application, the theme management will simply use the same "Update Manager" to be able to download a new theme. They indicate that this new feature should be out to the general public in "a week or two".
More nice work by the Pointui Team. Here is the "Black" theme.

The Point UI or Home UI is one of the promising UIs that are around for a while. Great to have nice skins going along with it. The Team has been working hard to iron out some of the issues reported. I am looking forward to the next release in two weeks' time? Cheers
Better PointUI........
I totally agree that PointUI in its current avatar needs some changes... But it's the best UI I've seen floating around... May be soon, we'll have a better version... Keeping my fingers crossed...
This is interesting both both because the PointUI team is adding the skins and also because of the unique distribution method.
For forum users that do not use PointUI, there is a very simple integrated update method in the application that allows direct upgrades of the application. No cabs, no exe's, no registry edits. Really easy.
In this case it is used to add new features (Skins). This is a great concept and I can see that this will be used to easy add new features in the future.
i have installed PointUI for testing... but for real life usage, i think navigation within this UI is not user friendly enough... you will always think where to go back and how to go there.... but of cos, it is still very innovative, looking forward to their update in future.

I fully agree ... at any point in time you'll find yourself wondering what to do next ... I think the design should be more intuitive ... but other than that it's a wonderful idea!
im luvin it
i got my HTC Touch abt 4 weeks back.....n to be honest i didnt get the whole concept of toch.... i thought it was jus another wm6 mobile.....n along came PointUI.....now i can show off to my friends who have iPhones that their phone has just became ****tier....lolz
cant wait for the upgrade..... they shud definatly do sumthing abt placing a wallpaper somehow.... it wud become crazy then!!!
cheers
well pointui is rly nice, step forward, skins are nice.
but to be honest, from my point of view there is awful lot of things to improve and implement to this kind of ui - don't flame me for saying this, but i rly don't know what are userw getting from using point ui in the state of ark in which it currently is, imho it's almost useless, just another gadget - when it will have it's own complete ui including messaging, contacts, calendar and dialpad etc etc - then it will be fantastic piece of software, but now? only another today skin (good one though, but still - when u have to get back 2 WM ui to write a message or to make a call, what the hell is it for?)
Don't get me wrong, i'm not blaming pointui itself, but the users which are making so big hubbab about it
it's not possible to change the icons?
I hope everything is customisable. From every button till the icons.
I only see the colours are changed...
Just installed it...and its great....there are bugs of course but cant wait for future releases.....just hope they dont go commercial
I think they will go commercial.
For a freeware GUI Pointgui is just a great piece of software. When they will have implemented launcher, dialer and messaging and will have given us a bit more customizing opportunities Pointgui will beat all the other Mobile Shells of SPB or HTC.
But for now it's freeware and this is a enjoyable fact.
i dont mind purchasing great application....

Don't know if it's allowed, don't know if the guys from PointUI are happy with distributing this skin...
But it looks wonderful!!! A beautiful interface and in black!
Thnx
lol i don't see any way in which they would be unhappy with it - since it's still freeware and the theme doesen't come in entierly repacked installator
well yes i see, but they'd be real jerks if they would

Pointui is the best software that I have on my Cingular 8125. It works perfect... of course improvments can be made but as it is I find it very usefull. As somebody was wondering what use can one have of it, well here is mine: I can fully operate my phone with one hand while I am driving. That's a big plus for me...
I have one problem though, I have previously installed SPB Pocket Plus and Slide2Unlock Pro. So when all these 3 progs are running my memory goes down to 11-12 MB available, so if I am starting any other program that is memory hog, like a game my phone is really, really slow. I am thinking of uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus. What else can I do to improve the memory???
Thank you.
I'm debating on making a UI ROM. This ROM would contain ALL the most popular UIs for windows mobile. I will try and customize the look of them if people want. Is anyone interested in this???
PS. Of course you know this may eat up a lot of storage memory. I'll try and minimize as much as I can.

Try the basic ones: iFonz+S2U2+S2P, Throttlelauncher+throttlelock, HS++, and of course, Manila!
Hmmm i was thinking more like FEWidgets, PointUI, SPB Mobile shell and TF3D. I'm really not a fan of throttle launcher cause its so freaking slow..
Depending on the performance.. I would love to give it a shot.
I would like to have:
Taskbar Icons,
Background for all Tabs,
Slider Icons,
New Icons set under Start - Like iPhone everything one size within a Sq template. (for WM6.5)
S2U2 cooked into the WM 6.1 ROM
If the ROM is smooth and stable with out any memory leaks and within acceptable RAM usage... I am sure a lot of people would love it.
My 2 Cents.
I would probably base the ROM on WM6.1 but I was going to put tweaks for the interfaces and some basic apps. This would be more of a Find ur UI ROM so u can test them all and to have them all optimized in one rom
I think this is a great idea, and would certainly be interested if it had a nicely set up PointUI with SenseUI suite (I've had issues with it running on my phone).
Throttlelauncher should be speedy enough on this device. It was quite fast on my old Herald, and that thing's ancient. I would probably prefer that there weren't any paid interfaces like Home2 and SPB, since not everyone has a registration for them.

From what i've seen Throttle launcher is slow and laggy on every device.. I can try it on the TP2 and make a decision. SPB mobile shell is like rated one of the top interfaces for Winmo so i can't leave that out. It gives the people who do use that interface the ability to have a customized ROM for it. I'm personally not a fan but have like 10 coworkers that hate tf3d and love spb.
How about Moto Homescreen or UL for that matter!

I honestly don't believe that is possible but I can look into it. No one wants to share the Manila 2.6 Packages so there is nothing I can do there.
I'd like it but im sure it would be pretty hard to bundle all that together and still be able to hotswitch between the different today screens.

Being a fan of the interface style of ccyrowski's Interface on his rom and it appears discontinued i wondered if any of the devs had any intention or would consider continuing the manilla style interface of the rom on theirs if not would also be interested if i could find an apk with the UI setup. Cant knock the message and email setup on it as well as the near seemless intigration of facebook. appreciate any replies i can get in advance and if this is in the wrong section i apologize ahead of time. Figured best place as would prefer a rom with it built in over the apk and havent got the hang of cooking android roms yet, lot trickier then Winmo lol.

are you asking for an apk that installs the sense UI? that is not going to happen... sense UI is like blur and such. its a specialized type of "overlay" for android. think of it as the rims and tires to a vehicle. it just adds to things. for the NEW sense UI check out eugene373 espresso rom. its the newest out and stable enough for you to at least try.
Hello guys i just wana say something, and maybe some of the cookers who think the same way can cook something like this.
Here is full with many new ROM`s for our Blackstones but mostly they are with Manila 2.5 Sense and they are very very heavy ROM`s and not Run like it must to be on our device.. for that reason i use only ROM`s with 2.1 Sense because of the speed but even 2.1 Sense cant beat the speed and feel of TF3D 2.1.XXX so i know there is avalible ROM like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592632
from Topix but its Old Build, my question is can anyone cook a clean 6.5 Build for example some of the latest build from COM 2 21903 and to cook in the latest TF3D 2.1.XXX not sense anymore.
By clean i mean all files that the useless or all aplications that can be installed via cab to be removed from the ROM. Because some of the apps get updates all the time so you just can uninstall and install the new one via cab.. this can heppand only if the apps are not cooked in the ROM.
So for what im talking is a Super Fast ROM for everyday use, and on the same time good battery consumation, also everyone know how fast can be the old TF3D also i cant imagine a copressed TF3D with some other tweaks what will heppand... and how fast and sensitive will be.
Often we forgot that the main function of our devices is a Phone so often when there are heavy ROM`s the dialer is slow.. when someone calling you the respond is slow and things like this, what we really need is a Fast Device and fast Dialer fast response time when someone calling you to not have a delay and things like this.
If anyone who can cook wana make such a ROM will be awesome.
Thanks
I totally agree with you, would be nice if a chef could cook this up for us

Dude we talk about WWE ROM because i don`t understand anything from Italian
After many roms tested and tried (2.5), I was surprised with how fast 2.1 is. Never going back to 2.5 anymore. But I don't mind having 2.1 sense though.

Ok...but just try it...
don't do anything else...
I mean...Once I tried a Dutch ROM...I didn't understand a word...but I could watch how that ROM was...
now you should do the same...try how do you feel with that ROM and let me know what you think about it...and we could talk through PM...
and then reflash with a WWE ROM... ok?

Why to speak over PM for that reason i open a Thread everyone to can say what he/she think about this, so i dont mind to try the rom if there was avalible WWE translation of the ROM because i can see its good but what to do then? just Nothing.
And i don`t like the idea because few times you mention i can translate it if i have reason Also to write you in PM witch not sound GOOD.

I just meant that if you liked the ROM and there were some other people willing for this I would have considered the idea to develop a WWE version...

Faster ROM is needed!!!
I was about to post something similar. Lately I've been quite disappointed with the performance of my Blackstone, especially the latest ROMs. I think too much attention is being paid to introducing new features from the latest devices at the expense of the speed. The lack of speed is quite frankly makes a device totally unusable despite all the new features.
To the OP: I'm not sure if it's a Sense/TF3D issue, as these can be either disabled or installed separately, but totally agree with bringing up the subject.
The most clean rom: Mario super lite (WM6.1 & WM6.5).
They are old builds but very stable and low memory & power eating.
I have tried most of roms from cookers here but always go back to these two.(Keep backups from two roms.) Now I using wm6.1 with SPB Mobile SHELL.

The TF3D is very very fast and Smooth so the diference is that the icons are not coloured but you can do it with a single cab also there have not my location service on the weather tab and you dont have the weather under the clock in the home screen but i ask myself HOW many times i watch the weather in the home tab under the clock? the question is Never all we can agree its more eye candy and beautyfull but is not usefull and many other things in the new SENSE are just for eye candy so befor a long time when i was using old TF3D i still remember for example when i tab to update the weather via WiFi the weather Update for around a half seconds WOWWW now with all the new SENSE things.. all the tabs are much more slower you need to wait the weather to be Updated and things like this.. Also i miss in the Album tab the Auto Rotation i can`t believe that this was removed from the new Builds because this was really usefull i mean when you click to see some image and you rotate the screen the image fit the whole screen really fast no matter how you rotate the screen, i dont know why this was removed...
Many peoples will say you can do this for example with G-config but the question is why to use 3rd Apps to make something that is made to be like this by default also the Auto rotation of the Album was really fast and smooth without delay.
Now with all this knowlage i mean the CFC Compression and all other regs tweak that we know and new Stuffs i can`t imagine what will be if someone create such a ROM WM 6.5 Based with Copmressed TF3D also can be compresed the Phone Canvas the dialer Images to be lighter and the whole graphics...to be compressed for example see the Blackstonehange ROM`s how they are smaller size than all other because of this compression of all images under windows.
This can be really a Rocket ROM for everday use..
There already have clean ROM`s without Manila and Titatnium.. Okay they are clean ROM`s but honestly is bored to use such as big screen without good UI and you need to use Apps like SPB Shell or other like that to have some UI because is ugly to have one empty big screen without a UI..
I think that the Manila UI is a good also the new SENSE is good but its not made for us.. and the Blackstone feel confortable with the old TF3D so with all this new things coming to the forum and all cooking expirience im sure that now someone can create really a Rocket ROM and you to feel Speed,Smoothnes,response time and to Enjoy the Blackstone to love to scrolling and to love to use it.. not to wait 5 seconds the Music in the Music tab to be loaded and things like this...
I Hope someone really to create some kind of HYBRID ROM from all the Best in one simple ROM

Thanks for this! I like it! I might keep it
A perfect example of what we're talking about. I don't care about autorotations and stuff like that. If I did I would get an iPhone I guess . Speed and stability that's what it should be all about!
Ummm, yes...
I'm waiting to see what will happen here:
TOPIX_Kwbr_Win 6.5_Ver_21877 + TouchFLO3D 2.1.38411.0 (supposedly Kwbr will update this once he gets his HD working) and here: [ROM][WM6.5/6.5.x][21903/23116][WWE][UC] Clean ROM v. T1.0/B1.0*****03.05.2010*****
But I really like Manila 2.1.19212117.2 which is cooked in Wajk's ROMs.
It handles contacts and mail accounts much more to my liking than TF3D.
But I'll watch this thread too...

Hi all!
I have recently been playing around with the Sense 2.1 + Gingerbread (aka GingerSense) ROMs, and had to of course port (and improve) my original PCB Sense Theme from days ago. I have been testing it myself for quite a few days, and I'm finally happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all GingerSense XDA users.
Couple of things to note:
This design was meant to be close to stock for those who actually dig the Sense scheme, but want something unique
The file is a 7.7mb signed .APK created using apk-manager 4.9 for Sense 2.1...I may make a Sense 3.0 port if there is enough demand (need to play with .m10 editing still)
It is installable on HDPI devices only by simply copying to your device and running, and is uninstallable by Titanium Backup, or applying another Skin in Sense, and highlighting PCB Sense, then MENU --> DELETE...it doesn't appear in "Settings --> Applications", but why would you want to uninstall it anyways?
I have edited a poopload of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
The tricky thing with the draw9patch is to have a pattern get 'stretched/repeated' without looking crappy...I believe this may be one of the few Sense themes out there which attempts to skin >90% of resource images (I may be wrong, but still)
I tested (and approved of) this theme on my Desire (Bravo) running LeeDrOiD v3.3.1 and InsertCoin GB
The font used in all screenshots is "Ubuntu", however "Storopia" also compliments the skin nicely
The font used to make the custom clock widget is "OPTICBOT"
This theme took me about 55-60 hours to complete
I've seen some other mods/ports of my theme before, and while I am a believer in sharing and caring, it would be nice if you asked/PM'ed me before using my theme for any other purpose than your own enjoyment. I'm a nice dood, I promise, and it's good to give credit where it's due!
If you'd like to buy me a beer, coffee, or any other kind offering to say thanks, it's greatly appreciated and I will thank you personally... (Donate link is in my post profile)
Anyways, have a look at the preview images below, and please leave your thoughts! I hope you enjoy it!!! (Oh, and keep an eye on this thread for updates)
Screenshots of Green version (via Dropbox album):

Select your desired colour to download:
PCB Sense Green (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Blue (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Orange (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Pink (7.7mb)
PCB Sense Purple (7.7mb)
Note: If you're downloading on a handheld browser and the file is saved with a '.bin' extension, simply rename it to '.apk'
if you like it...that's up to you!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
The modded wallpaper is originally from iTeppo (on deviantART) titled "Android Chip Wallpaper" (he did a great job!)
Looks great! Too bad I have a CDMA desire (no new sense love for us)
HTC Desire with custom rom (insertcoin GB) and this is perfect combination :3

Heya retrosling, if you mean when you are in the "Phone" app, then yes, some images may not be fully skinned, but this is a limitation of the HTC Sense Skin .apk format itself. Note that there are no flashable .zips needed to use this theme, and that should allow it to be installed on multiple devices (with Sense 2.1 of course).
To skin many other components means that I would have to build a flashable .zip which modifies 'framework-res.apk', 'com.htc.resources.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', and since these are based on certain ROMs, and can therefore be unique, I chose not to go that route for this theme (the logistics/maintenance of handling all bases/versions/ROM-specific customizations for these 3 .apks would be a nightmare of time consumption!)
Believe me, that I skinned nearly every single PNG that would allow it. The only ones missing (for now) would be for landscape support. Once we start getting more GingerSense ROMs with landscape homescreens, I will be adding them though. Good thing for updating is that you'd just have to re-download the .apk (same exact link/filename), and the .XML file defines that it's a newer version, then your phone should ask you if you want to update it. Super clean this .apk Skin route.
To everyone else who offered your great comments/feedback, thank you very much!! It's great to see others enjoying the benefits of the hard work it took to put together this theme!
All the best.
Just tried this on Robocik's v1.2 a2sd cm7 hboot and it does not seem to work.
Have I missed something?
Amazing.
I will say that I have allways found the backdrops you pick very distracting and make the icons hard to see, but then I am addicted to the glactic core live wallpaper - you should try it with the pcb sense - it really ties the screen theme together!
One thing I miss from the old PCB theme is the green circuit board buttons, but then I am sure I will get used to this... (see attached for what I mean)
perhaps an option in the future?
Again, Thanks!!!
Warmly, Marty

Hey ericb, thanks for trying this out on RCMix v1.2...I am not sure why it didn't work for you, as it should be in MENU --> PERSONALIZE --> SKIN. There is nothing specific relating to InsertCoin, so maybe it didn't install properly? Did you get any errors when you clicked on the .apk from a file browser to install it?
Only other thing I can think of would be to "Allow Unknown Sources" in SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS, which might allow it to install since it isn't a pro-signed .apk.
Let me know though, as yours is the first report that it didn't work

Thanks Marty, this one was for you Anyways, I understand about the wallpaper/backdrop, but one NEEDS to be included in the .apk, and I figured people would pick their favourites anyways. I will also check out that galactic core LW that you love so dearly
I hear ya about the green PCB traces in my old theme version, and I went with grey this time because I wanted to make other colour versions overall. This would give the theme more consistency across all colour mods, since when you press those buttons, they light up green (and in the future, /blue/etc.).
Nothing's impossible though, so if I get a chance, I may make a classic version like that. Otherwise, if you REALLY want it, you can PM me and I can .zip up the files from the old theme so that you can drop them in this .apk and reinstall it...
@scar45
Just checked again and it had loaded ok.
Must have been impatient first time.
Looks really cool with great detailing.
Just need to work out how to change the top and bottom bits of the screen to match your skin.
Currently it is black and doesn't quite enhance yours.
I will feedback any problems.
Thanks for your reply

Hey Scar,
Well I slept on it (1.5 hours sleep last night, I am going to be a mess at uni today)
and I have to say I do prefer the one with the green buttons -
It breaks up all the grey a bit, and matches really well with the green traces on the clock.
So I would love a green version if you can make it.. - and I can imagine how cool a red and blue version will look too -
You should sell your theme to HTC and get it included as standard, make some $$$$ its very geeky and DIFFERENT from all the other themes that just look the same.
Warmly, Marty
ps: I will be making a donation in the next week or so, but don't let that influence you in any way.. (ie its not a bribe - you bloody deserve it!) HOWEVER please don't spend it on smokes mate - I have lost both parents to cancer a few years ago, and we just buried my partners mother who also died last week from lung cancer. - only telling you this cause I care ok!

Wow Marty, that's a hard-hitting factual story there, and I first my send my condolences to you and your partner as well. Losing someone to cancer is absolutely horrible, as I have had similar experiences in my life (although thank God no one in my immediate family). I promise you I will never squander any contributions that people send my way, as I really use it to help me stay living in my home and eating food Times are tight, but the joy that one can get from these types of devices is very much worth it.
I will definitely whip up a 'traditional edition' for you and anyone else who wants to download it though, as soon as I get some time (blah blah, broken record on my shortness of 'time' I know )

Sorry to be unclear.
I am talking about the top notification bar and the bottom button bar.
Would be nice to be able to colour match to give a seamless green colour to the skin.
This Skin is the ****! Incredible Work!
Can you also make a Sense 3.0 Skin?

Thank you, its appreciated mate. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
By the way, do you have the framework you use for all the notification icons battery mod etc?? Are you running the CM7 version?
Would love to use it - if I start mucking around in the UOT kitchen, I will never leave - too much choice.
Awesome - thank you! First theme I am actually going to install.
Running on IC CM7 v20, btw.
