This is ridiculously nice work!!
I like the black tray icons also.
My next manilla flash will be enhanced with this theme.
Please post at WC's forum for the benefit of his followers.

Hey MrRusch, this Manilla skin really shines!! Have it on my mobile since you came up with it... allready searched for backgrounds fitting the best... Great work!

However, just some thoughts: I installed the black icon suite and like the Black ones much better... However I have an additional Manilla tab due to the MTP app (which btw. really roxx) and this one stayed white... why is that?
I'd love to have all the other silver Buttons with black Font too... the white font on the long silver Buttons like in the Contact menu is sometimes real hard to read... Could you make an all black version?

Maybe it would be possible to overcome the hold over problem with the black symbols by outlining them with a thin thile or silver line ... nearly invisable in the Tray symbols but good for the big hold over version.

Last idea: To a metallic look an analog watch with nice metalic reflections and maybe even Roman letters would fit the best... but thats to much work I guess...

Thanks for your work - keep it up m8!!!
