iPhone Black Launcher 51
Description
(In Preware use the iPhone-Black-Launcher. Tap List of Everything and type "iPhone-Black".)
The iPhone Black Launcher theme matches your display with your phone. The Palm icons are now blended with the professional-looking iPhone icons. The Launcher is no so crisp, you may find yourself reducing the brightness.
This theme uses your wallpaper but for an amazing effect, try this black wallpaper. At the other end of the spectrum, a bold, bright wallpaper will no longer wash out your Launcher! Try some of these.
The iPhone Black Launcher theme purposely does not include any patches so you are free to chose your own. Here are some of the patches that really make this theme shine.
The Launcher Auto Popup patch automatically pops up the Launcher when you turn on your phone. It's just like having a homepage. If a foreground app is running, that app will come up instead. Thanks to Jason Robitaille! If you do find the need to stare at your wallpaper, just click the Launcher button.
The Top Bar 4x4 v3 icons patch gives you 21 icons on screen. The icons are the same size as Palm's 3x3 icons. Thanks to onlinespending!
The screenshots also feature the Top Bar Battery Percentage and Icon patch and the Top Bar MM/DD Date patch. Give them a try if you don't already use them.
The PreCentral and Google Latitude apps shown in the launcher are available through Preware and WebOS Quick Install. Click here to download Precorder.
Special thanks to samnoonan for many of the icons. Check out his full iPhone theme.

I just can't get this theme to work,says it's installed but nothing. I removed it and installed it like 3 times but nothing. ????
sorry I take it back ,just tried another theme an same thing,don't know what's going on I've installed and removed themes a lot before,any one has any idea?
very cool...thanks
Ok Im sorry but I NEED TOO ASK, what is that pre central icon in the screen pics? Is there a pre central app that I dont know about??
I was wondering the same thing about the Precentral icon - is it just an app-link that takes you to the website?
Here is the link to the PreCentral App:
* PreCentral App
The PreCentral App is not yet available through the normal feeds but the instructions are at the end of the opening post.

looks good, my brother has iPhone, look sjust like it, thanks! I put it on my phone.....looking good so far!
Is that a Google Latitude app??
My icons are too small. I'm using the 4x4 icons instead of 3x3.
Use the 4x3 v3 App Launcher patch for the larger icons. Do NOT use the 4x4 icons patch you can check off on the main tweaks page of WebOS Quick Install.
How do you get the Google Latitude Application?
I have 5x4v2 and it looks just fine!
Anyway you could add iphone style messenger bubbles to this themes so my "iPhone style" patch will work?
This theme includes no patches so that you can add any patch that you want, including hte messaging patches. It only changes the Launcher background black, the Quicklaunch background to clear, and the icons. - Craig

This will not download on my phone again. I had it on my phone and now that i changed it i wont it back. It will not add to my themes. On top of that it has changed my default theme to this other iphone theme. I switched between the two. Now i want i phone theme back it will not down load for nothing inthe world.
This theme has no patches and does not change any of the programming code. It only replaces images. It is important that you uninstall a theme the same way you installed it before you install a new theme. And it is important that if you installed it with Preware, remove it with Preware. If you installed it with webOS Quick install, remove it with webOS Quick Install.
If you have a patch or theme that just won't uninstall, you can always use the WebOS Repair Utility. Click Option and then Override Compatibility. Here is the link:

I love this theme :)
Great work!!!!
This is the first iphone theme i like =P
I liked it a lot better before the "surround" was added on the "SMS" and the "menu" keys it looked a lot cleaner with leaving the "round" button round instead of squaring them up
I keep getting a bunch of error 5 and 19 messages. wouldn't load correctly.
Tried to take the theme off and the revert to default will not come up,please help?
Also tried to take the theme off and the revert to default fail's to come up. Any help here?
I have the same issue. Can anyone help?
How come my contacts infomation wont show?
can you pit themes on the pixi?? and if so, how??
great theme... thanks
Love it, thanks!
hellpp, i have downloaded the theme to my computer and when i click load theme nothing happens?
i havent downloaded any themes before so it is still on the nornal one.
someone please help.
if only you send it to my phone directly. I am mostly at work and these computer are blocked for any incoming downloads not done on admistrator log in.
Try to re-program your phone. i had a problem something like what your having i re-image my pre and now it's working fine no-more problems.
Love it!!! Thanks.
why do you have the senders texts in grey and the received in green? this is backwards to the real iphone...
I love this theme lots. I'm a big fan of sleek and black. Very crisp looking and everything. I was having a conversation with a guy in a jewelry store and he whips his iPhone out. We started a conversation about our phones and I took mine out and showed him the theme. He was like, "wow, looks just like mine!" :)
One thing I would like to see, however, is the messaging icon. I like the iPhone style "SMS" green icon. Is there any way that can be implemented? I'm not trying to be picky, just suggesting. Great job! Keep it up!
*Preware
* PreCentral App
Awesome Theme!!! Simple and good looking.
My favorite. Can you add the little shelf below the launch bar like the OSX/iPad dock?
I can't find this when looking in Preware. Any thoughts?
I love it!
will this stuff work for the pixi too
Hi, Very slick looking, but when I put it on my Pre plus running 2.1.0, the launcher pages are still gray instead of black as in your screenshots. Is this a version incompatibility?
