Haze Red and Haze Blue
Two New 5th Edition Themes By PiZero

Blue Haze (also available in red variant) is the latest theme for the 5th Ed devices and first PiZero theme especially designed and 100% optimized for the high resolution screens and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

Theme is available in two color variants and both variants are provided in version with PiZero’s or Flahorn’s icon pack as well as in light version which is by the way highly suggestible to use because both mentioned custom icons packs aren’t fully compatible with Nokia 5800 and fails to change the default icon pack completely.

Theme is tested on my own Nokia 5800 and I can confirm it looks great and works well. I love how it is so simple and yet so compact, it’s simple styling makes my phone look sleek and classy and it is really pleasant to look at.

The theme style may not be for everybody but I am sure lot of users will enjoy the styling although I don’t like some solutions and as usually, there's always room for improvements. You see, I like the colors, background and over all look but I’ll rather see rounded corners on the popup windows and use smaller scrollbar indicator with a more significant color change.

Oh yes, the custom icons issue, this must be fixed as soon as possible, I know it is more related to Nokia and their decision to change some folder UID’s but theme artist should join forces to find the solution and makes this few icons skinable as well.

Believe me or not, I’m really not a huge fan of the default, OVI like icons set on the 5800 but I am forced to use the as custom icons packs fails to change the icons of some of the most important folders.
