    I am proud to release my new theme Blaze . (Click preview for download.)

    Credits
    Saleh - For early critique on this theme.
    Dustin Schau - Use of a few of his glyphs.
    Susumu - For his Photos icon "tutorial" on his website (I will take it down if he wants me to).

    I'm not a fan of this style of theme, so I can't be of much help here. By the way, the left side of your base is fuzzy, you might want to resize it with pixels snapped, same goes for the bottom too, and all of your glyphs.

    Please excuse me if I'm being rude, just trying to help.

    Not much of a fan of Cartoony themes like this. The glyphs need to be relatively the same size. The icons are just kinda "meh"

    @ Mitch Definitely not rude, don't worry. Thanks for the heads up on the fuzziness, I'll fix that. If people aren't a fan of this theme, I might just stop now (I don't have much time to work on this…)

    Nice stuff Matt. I really like that you have tried something a bit new. However, so far it doesn't seem to have the legs to make it as a full theme. I would say that if you don't have a lot of time to spend on it anyway you might just wanted to tuck it away for a rainy day ;). I totally understand the concept of working on something that doesn't seem like its going to be exactly what you want and then wasting another few hours on it. Maybe take that time to reinvent it a bit. I really like the base but as MItch said, the glyphs are a bit fuzzy and just lack that pop.

    Hope this helps! Again, nice work and I can't wait to see more from you.

    Thanks Michael, I'm glad to know you understand. I guess for now I'll take a while to reinvent this and come back strong. You can delete this thread if you would like.

    It's all looking nice but a bit flat and also the safari glyph looks more like a pokéball .

    Love the new ideas for icons.

    Yes, Safari does look like a pokeball.

    Whats the icon between Appstore and iTunes?

    Yeah, the Safari does kinda look like a Pokéball And as for the other, both: iPod or remote. So I would like to know, do you guys think I should tweak but continue, or just stop until I have more time to work on it?

    I would stop until you have a good about of time to work on it.

    When you do have time, review what has been said here and redo it.

    I like it. It's a very novel theme. Sharp and cute. I really would like to see work continued on it. Shame.

    Closed for now. Whisper me/write on my wall and I'll re-open it.
