The NFL icon is showing up as the Nascar icon.

The Space Invaders icon is not displaying the revised icon.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the theme, hiding/unhiding the NFL app, and uninstalling/reinstalling Space Invaders...Nothing worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the heads up.

The NLF icon is fixed. We understand that the Classic Invader developer Ryan Hope will soon release an update with an updated icon. There is a reason none of the other 1,400 apps have monochromatic icons.

so is there a reason you didnt include the iphone icons for the phone, messaging, internet, and email? you could even do one for the app catalog... i think it would really complete this theme...

unless theres already a theme/patch that does ONLY that -- i would be interested to know.

I purposely kept the webOS icons for the Phone, Messaging, Email, Browser,and Launcher because they are so small.

When you go 5 across, the iPhone icons basically black out the quick-launch bar. I did a clear quick launch so that by touching the Launcher you could see as much of your wallpaper as possible...

This is interesting and I may try to do a second version...

Ok,

I went back and tried the iPhone icons for the phone, messaging, internet, and email and they do not look so hot squished down to 5 icons across but...

I reworked them and blended the Palm webOS icons into the iPhone look and I think they look great.

So I just updated the Preware feed for the iPhone-Black-Launcher to 1.0.7 with these icons updated.

Good idea.

Just wanted to say thanks. I really like the black back round over stock. Makes the Icons pop.

Thanks, this is definitely the best and most favorite theme. Honestly, I probably wouldn't use any themes except for this one. One question, is there any way to change the background color of the messaging and web icons, it's a nitpick and I'm sorry but I'm just not a big fan of the purple on black. It looks nice but just not my thing. Still the best theme out there though!

I have tried several times to install the black launcher with no success, keep getting errors. I sat at home last night for an hour trying to get any theme to install and none would. UGGGGGG Anyone have any ideas?

What is that? I've tried to download two homebrew apps, and this is what I get... Any assitance would be great.

Error message states that it cannot download your theme. I am using Preware Version 9.25. The error message also states that "perhaps you need to run the ipkg update"???

I love this theme!

I do wish the theme extended to the rest of the Pre's default apps. (i.e. the Dialer, Contacts, Email, SMS, Videos, etc.

A combination of the iPhone Black Launcher, and the Black-Out theme, would be perfect.

hope it still works when 1.4 drops...

Any chance you will extend the "graphical reach" of this theme?

You can use WebOS Quick Installer Tweaks menus to set other background colors for the phone, etc. Typically I use the dark wallpapers from the Music Player (Remix) Wallpaper Gallery because they look so good with the iPhone Black Launcher theme. YOu will also find a range of Phone backgrounds there.

I am currently using the Shawn White wallpaper from the U.S. Olympic Medalists thread. The black background looks great on the black phone.

I especially like how it looks with the clear launcher and icons from the iPhone Black Launcher. The icons seem like they were designed for this background but it is just a coincidence.

But this Shawn White photo is a special case!

I've just downloaded the theme as suggested from your page - I get a zip file called iphone_Black_Launcherf_!-0-7.zip. There is no ipk file in this and I am trying to use WebOSQI to install. What have I missed?
Thanks
