Mobile Royale - An Asian Perspective on Mobile Industry

I usually do not write articles on themes, but this theme is so
unique, that I couldn't stop writing something on it. It is so unique,
that there are over 300 different icons in this theme. Very different
icons, that all of then are completely blank. The theme, Stealth, by
PiZero was just released and it takes the UI of your S60 3rd Edition
mobile to a whole new level by replacing almost all (yes, you read it
right - even most applications) the icons in your phone. This can be
very useful to you if you do not want others to see what you are
doing. It also would be very pleasant to your eyes at darker places.
But as you notice, PiZero has failed to replace some icons like
LifeBlog and Internet Radio (I think he didn't test this on a FP1
device) including some applications like Opera Mini, but overall he
has done a great job and the theme pack, which includes four versions
of the Stealth theme (Stealth and Full Stealth - the latter replacing
Clock and Operator Logo too - both with iconless and Nokia default
icon versions) and being only 293.6kb means you must give it a try.
PiZero faced a huge problem while planning to release this theme as he
had a problem with his computer and lost all the files, but he has
finally come out with a great product. He also likes to thank P@sco
for the contribution.

The last two screenshots feature Full Stealth Default Icon version.

A reply to Mark Guim...
These are the first seven applications that I install

1. Opera Mini - The free, super little web browser. Low in size, low on bandwidth, high in quality. Point your JAVA enabled phone's browser to http://mini.opera.com for instant free download.
2. Screenshot - The famous screen capturing solution. Made by Antony Pranata. A must have for every mobile phone blogger. Available at www.antonypranata.com . For S60 phones only. Freeware.
3. Handy Taskman.
A great shareware task manager utility which directly integrates onto the task manager key (long press on Menu key) giving you a more sophisticated view of current tasks including the RAM, Date and memory status info. Also has the ability to add your favorite applications for quick access. 14 days trial. Visit http://epocware.mobi on your phone.
4. Advanced Device Locks.
This shareware gives you the ability to password protect every application like Messaging, Camera or Opera Mini in your phone. However, the trial period is limited to 7 days.
5. Y-Browser.
The great and free file management utility for S60 phones made by Dr.Jukka Svenson (a.k.a Symbian_yucca). Which gives you the full control over your files. Visit http://drjukka.com to download.
6. Y-Tasks.
Another great product from Dr.Jukka. This free utility is made with developers in mind, but can be of immense use to any S60 user. It is a sort of task manager and has a more advanced control over your phone's system tasks. Download from drjukka.com.
7. Beeper.
One of the very latest S60 freewares which won a place in this ranking. It gives you the ability to have a customised info bar (RAM, Time or battery level etc.) (Read my review on this blog)on any place of your S60 phone's screen. I'll update the download location soon.
REQUEST: My idea for an application. Handy Taskman can integrate with task manager key. Why can't someone create an advanced notepad utility that can integrate with the pencil/hash key? I'm sure it would be a great product.

Beeper is a new multifunctional utility freeware for S60 3rd Edition phones. The application can be set to display time, free RAN, date, battery level etc. on the top left corner of the screen and you can customize fonts and colours. It does a good job, but it would have been better and much useful if it was in the top right corner of the screen as left is the corner mainly used for most indications. As you can see, when set on, the display bar of Beeper blocks the packet data connection icon in applications that use internet. But, yet it's a highly useful utility. Look for the screenshots.



Update : The position of the display bar, it's size and font size is fully customizable. You can edit them all from the Bar Face setting. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I'll make sure that this sort of mistakes don't take place again.
