I just installed Sapphire 0.6.2 - very impressed so far!
I love the SpareParts mod to change text colors. Very simple, much better than having to include services.jar in every theme just to change the clock from black to white.
LOVE the reboot option when you long-press the power key. It's like it should have been there all along.
Also - for anyone who installed the Black Bar Modification (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cvps/55253-great-sapphire-theme-off-0-6-2-a.html), here's what you need to do to get the transparent notification background. It's mentioned on the wiki, but I thought I would clarify in case anybody else did the same thing:
1). Install Sapphire (duh)
2). Install the Stock Theme (this fixes transparency)
3). Install the Black Bar Modification
4). Fix the text colors in Spare Parts
I'm a fan of scriptybox. The name is amusing, but I'm guessing it's a reference to how toolbox and busybox both operate as a single binary that functions based on what the name of the symlink that calls it is. I have some thoughts on improving the terminal interface that I may try to apply to sapphire - namely switching most of the commands from toolbox to the more-capable busybox equivalents and switching the default shell. Would there be any benefit in packaging up these changes into a script, or is that something that could be rolled into the default ROM possibly?
