Deluxe (Bold 9000)

Theme Name: Deluxe

Cost: Free as always, but if you like my work please consider making a donation so I can continue making themes.

Supported Device(s): Bold 9000  Running OS 5.0   **Edit: OS 4.6 version just added**

Theme Description: This is the first theme I have designed exclusively for the new 5.0 software and I put a lot of work into it I hope you like it. Here are some of the highlights:
  • Custom Battery and signal meters, as you can see in the screenshots they are both made up of 10 blue ovals.  Each oval represents 10% of Signal reception or Battery power remaining.  When your Battery or Signal gets low the meters will turn yellow and then red.  Also when your Blackberry is plugged in your Battery meter will turn green.
  • For the layout of the homescreen, as you can see, there is a today area which will show your 2 new messages and 4 upcoming appointments, across the bottom there is a fixed icon at each side (Profiles and Lock) and 5 user selectable icons in the middle.
  • But in addition to those 9 visible icons there is also another 5 hidden application icons:
  • Across the very top of your homescreen the battery meter is selectable to open your Options, the time is selectable to open your Clock and the signal meter is selectable to open Manage Connections.
  • Down the right hand side there are the remaining 2 hidden icons. They will slide out when you scroll over them, they are Blackberry Messenger (You can also access this one by scrolling right from messages) and Calculator (You can also access this by scrolling right from Calendar).
  • When you access the menu in any application it will slide out from the left and when you exit the menu it will slide down out of sight (5.0 Version Only).
  • Moving into and out of any application or between screens happens with a zooming in and out effect (5.0 Version only). 
  • I put a lot of work into creating all of the Application icons and Folder icons (also the wallpaper, dialog boxes, highlight ribbons, and everything else in this theme), please let me know what you think about them in the comments section below.

Wally (8900, 9600, 9700)

Theme Name: Wally

Cost: Free as always, but if you like my work please consider making a donation so I can continue making themes.

Supported Device(s): Curve 8900, Tour 9600, Bold 9700

Theme Description: As the name suggests this theme is all about displaying your wallpaper.  It leaves your homescreen almost completely blank except for a small banner area at the bottom.  There is also a hidden dock area, showing your first 5 apps, that will slide up when you scroll upwards and will slide back down out of sight when you scroll downwards.  There is also a hidden today area that will show your 5 upcoming appoinments or 5 new messages when Calendar or Messages are highlighted.  Also when the hidden dock slides up your wallpaper greys out slightly so you can better read your Appointments, Messages and Application titles.
