I'm sorry I didn't notice this new post earlier. My apologies.
For me, Pixelistic also acted funny about displaying the notifications at the top of the screen, but only at first. After installing it, it turns out you have to do a FULL HARDWARE REBOOT of your
. Once you do that, it will work fine!
To do a hardware reboot, turn the power off (full power off option, if you have an Auto On/Off option set-up) and then remove the battery. Hold the power switch in for at least 30 seconds, then reinsert the battery and let your
boot back up. Pixelistic should work better after that.
I liked the theme because it maintained the email icons the way I was used to (3 icons, one each for Messages, Compose Email and Saved Messages) as opposed to the BIS 2.0 icons that were forced on me by the other themes. Plus, it had the more modern icons, with that "3-D" look that you get on themes for the newer
s.
It also makes your wallpaper show up with FULL COLOR, instead of the faded, pastel look imposed on your wallpaper by the other themes.
But now that I'm on an 8700g on T-Mobile, I've just had to get used to the BIS 2.0 icons, since Pixelistic is not available for the 8000 series devices. It's only available on 7000 series
s; 71xx, 72xx, and 75xx units.
But that's alright. On the 8700, you can get the new Overlord theme, which uses a similar color scheme, but implemented even better than Pixelistic was! For starters, All Day events in the Agenda View of the calendar are now actually READABLE. In Pixelistic, they used a gray on gray color scheme that was very hard to read! Overlord also makes the main (pre-installed) icons transparent when they're not selected, so you can see more of your wallpaper. Overall, it's a nice substitute for Pixelistic and I recommend it to anyone that switches to an 8700.
