Beautifully Black by HaggleLad
This is my first and probably last (since it took forever) theme. I was fed up of cluttered unfinished themes and just wanted a slick clean design that I could leave on my iPod forever... so I made this. Credit must go to the creators of the hybrid hack and the Islander since this is a modified version of one of his themes. EVERY SINGLE bug has now been ironed out so I personally think this is one of the most (if not the most) polished themes available for the iPod. The theme has also won "Theme of The Week".

VERSION v2.0 AVAILABLE NOW for 5G and 5.5G

NO MORE LAGGY MENU TRANSITIONS

Oh, wow. This is really truly gorgeous. And does the now playing really show the full album art image? Amazing. I love the simplicity of it - though I'd hafta say - "forever"?? Wouldn't you get bored of it eventually?

Why thank you, I've tried to keep it as simple as possible and maximise the space available.
Yeah album art is shown in full on the now playing, I shuffled it round so many times but have found the way its layed out above is the way it looks best.
Yeah I know what you mean about "forever" I spent so long doing this hack that the "panel" and "its time" hacks came out in the mean time so I'm wondering if its already a little out of date. Doh!

Well I personally think that all-in-all, this is still the best hack out there - it's a perfect balance of features and smooth functionality. I'm gonna use it right now...

It's great!

But... Is the shiny gloss really in the theme, or was that just a way of displaying?

(I'm too lazy to download..)

No shiney gloss in the actual theme the background is totally jet black, I just wanted the preview to look a bit glossier.
