Torch 9800: OWNED

For OWNED we started with the Original torch theme icons and layout and then made lots of improvements. First we added a Weather slot. Then we simplified it by making it have No tabs. We then added Extras like the ability to hide the banner background. And then made just one hidable Dock with 12 icons.


Original + Weather + No tabs + Extras + Dock = OWNED

Features:

• Weather slot near the top right
• Shaded Banner background can be hidden or shown (For some wallpapers you will want it for others you won't, this is the only theme that easily allows you to turn it on or off)
• Percentage battery meter
• Select your unread indicator area to open Messages
• Top banner area is made up of 3 selectable buttons:
1. select left side (battery area) to open Options
2. select centre (clock area) to open Clock/Alarm
3. select right side (signal area) to open Manage Connections
• There are 3 quick key shortcuts:
1. press 0 to open Calculator
2. press the spacebar to open Messages
3. press $ to open Text Messages
• Bottom dock showing your top 12 applications
• Click or Touch anywhere in the centre area to hide your 12 icons
• Click or Touch anywhere on the centre or bottom of the screen to re-show your icons

Torch 9800: iNspired Today

The iNspired series is not just another iPhone clone. That has been done many times before, and if you wanted something exactly the same as an iPhone you would just get an iPhone.

No, instead of just trying to copy the iPhone, iNspired improves upon the look and functionality of it.

And with the iNspired Today version you get a fully functional Today screen.

Note: the iNspired series are the first and ONLY iPhone style themes that actually allow you to use your trackpad to navigate the homescreen. So if you like having the ability to use your trackpad, as Blackberry intended, then the iNspired series are the Only ones for you.

  • All custom icon set inspired by the iPhone
  • EVERYTHING has been themed. All screens, all boxes, all popups, etc.

  • Your main 5 icons are shown at the bottom
  • Above them you have a Calendar Today area showing your 8 upcoming appointments
  • Next you have a Messages Today area showing 2 new messages
  • When you highlight any part of your today area the whole Today section gets a transparent grey background so you will never have any problems reading your appointments or new messages

There are 5 icons in the top banner:
  • Profiles
  • Options (click on the Battery)
  • Clock/Alarm (click on the Time)
  • Manage Connections (click on the Signal Meter)
  • Universal Search (this is a Real OS6 Universal Search icon, not the old search icon all the other themes have)

Torch 9800: Vivid - OS6

Overview:

This theme is based on my very popular Vivid series. The only difference is that this one is for those that prefer the new Blackberry OS6 style of themes with the sliding tabs.

This is not just another homescreen replacement like almost all themes out there, nor is it just a homescreen with a few extra added elements. This is a Full theme. Absolutely everything that is possible to be themed has been themed. All icons, All images, Call screen, Text messaging chat screens, etc

Features:
  • All custom Vivid style icons.
  • Everything has been themed in the matching Vivid style. From the call streen to the BBM chats to the unread alerts icons. Everything.

Torch 9800: Vivid (hidden today)

Vivid (hidden today) is based on my original Vivid theme.  The only difference is that instead of the fixed today area on the home screen it has a hidden today area.

This is a Full theme.  Absolutely everything that is possible to be themed has been themed.  All icons, All images, Call screen, Text messaging chat screens, etc.

I wanted to get away from the basic mostly black and white look and feel of Blackberry OS6 and give something bright, bold and vibrant.  I hope you like it is much as I do.

Here's a quick walkthrough of some of the features starting with the Homescreen:
  • 4 custom icons across the bottom
  • A Hidden Today that will show up to 10 Calendar appointment and new Messages
  • When you scroll over the Hidden Today area you get a large shaded underlay under your whole Today area so no matter what wallpaper you are using you will never have any difficulty reading your appointments or new messages

At first glance the banner area is very minimalist, just the battery and signal meters and the time, but there is much more there than is first visible:
  • There are 2 hidden icons that instantly appear when you scroll up to your banner area
  • Hidden icons are:  Profiles and Weather
  • Select your battery meter to open Options
  • Select the time to open Clock/Alarm
  • Select your signal meter to open Manage Connections

In addition to the 9 homescreen applications already mentioned there is also 3 hotkeys:
  • Hit spacebar to open Messages
  • Hit $ to open Text Messages
  • Hit 0 (zero) to open Calculator
As you have already seen above Vivid uses my own custom designed icon set.  Here are some screen shots of the main All Applications screen and inside some of the folders so you can see the icons:



Next here is a few images of the call log and call screens (areas that most themes don't cover at all):



Next here is some images of the messaging list and a Text Messaging chat:




And now since I don't think I have posted quite enough screenshots yet  ;)  here is a couple more:




And finally here is the Download link:  Vivid (hidden today)

Note: because Theme Builder 6 does not currently properly support landscape mode (or the ability to disable it) it is highly recommended that you use an application to disable landscape mode.  The app that The Theme Zone recommends is Six Tools.  Click Here for a direct OTA link.
