A few days ago, Peter from Elecite sent me their latest theme to test called Shell. At first glance, you have some sharp, vibrant graphics and an interesting slide out icon dock (set-up, etc. varies between devices). There’s another neat little feature which I’ll let Peter explain in his own words; “With this one, you have the option to choose between the black, white, blue, and red theme skins on the fly with the skin selection button. On top of color choice, you also get app choice – 4 dedicated icons in a dock, as well as 9 more hidden icons that you can reach via the arrow button – all completely customizable and imitate the icons at the top of your application list. Shell [costs $6.99 and] is available for the BlackBerry 8350, 85xx, 8900, 9000, 95xx, and 96xx series.“
Now for my own thoughts on Shell which while certainly attractive and interesting with all its bells and whistles, I find it a little to much for my tastes. I also have never liked darker color backgrounds in my ‘messages’ application for example because for me, I just find it too confusing. I tend to like simple, but that’s just me. You have to decide for yourself and Elecite does offer more screen shots on their product page so I suggest taking a look there for details. (Note: Some Storm2 or Storm (OS 5.0) users may experience distorted/resized wallpaper while in landscape view. Unfortunately, updates will only be available upon release of Plazmic patch. Until then, as a temporarily solution, please refer to their FAQ page http://elecite.com/faq.html)
