While some people may not like the current default theme, it is (by it's nature) the most 'complete' theme that is available. Yea the desktop background sucks on it (sorry mate) but that is easily changeable by the average person. Now, having said that, I don't 'dislike' detour theme (as far as color scheme). What I do dislike about it is the overly large menus/menu items. (If you don't know what I mean, then load the default theme and look @ the menu/menu items. Then load detour and look @ it's menu/menu items). If detour theme had menus of a similar size as the default theme, then I would be much more in favor of detour, but as it sits no...the menus just waste too much space imo. dh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
