We'd appreciate it if you helped us tip Engadget, or Gizmodo on this hack. Please spread the word as much as possible.

It all started four months ago on December 25, 2008. Continuum 1.0 debuted at precisely 12:00 AM and since then, has received over a staggering 4,000 downloads. And now, Woodward and I would like to present the SEQUEL to Continuum 1.0. Here it is.



Build: We've taken Continuum 1.0 and morphed it. Not only did we build on 1.3 Firmware, we even made the first ever Custom TBH 2.0 build on 1.3 firmware. Not to mention there is absolutely no lag in any of the menus and screens, nor on the Now Playing.

Design: We listened. And we responded. With Continuum 2.0, we took all the suggestions into consideration, while ingenuity and creativity brought it to life. We were successful in creating a Video Now Playing that is finally seamless in performance. We also challenged impossibilities with implementing a half-screen lockscreen. Continuum 2.0 has a stunning Main Menu with 7 enlarged icons, making it much more easy to theme as well as use than the previous 11 small options in Continuum 1.0 that made it cramped for the user. Also, unlike Continuum 1.0, Large Album Art has finally made it to the table!

Themes: Currently available in Ablaze, and Continuum, made custom by Kris.11.92

Previews:

UPDATED PSD:
Sorry guys it's outdated, selector on Continuum 2.0 won't be compatible with icons lined up in old PSD. it won't be hard to copy and paste your work into the new document though DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT FOR PSD.

Redownload the firmware as usual. The files have been overwritten on the server.

New in 2.0.2:
- Users may now switch languages to Spanish and the icons still function correctly

Continuum 2.0 Lite: UPDATE 4/30, Minor bug fixes
A version has been made for people who can't handle the awesomeness. In short, there are no icons and no mini-now playing, and the main menu looks like the submenus. Download the attachment, and plug them [resources, lang-24] into your iPW, with Continuum 2.0 loaded in. It works with any theme made for Continuum 2.0.
