I wanted to post a few icons that you may like when creating your next MacBerry theme. They have potential if you would like them PM me with a place to send them.

Hence i show you "Fooood" the blackberry theme

P.S. So far i have created two themes. I have not made any of the graphics for them. I did a doctor, cut job of images to make themes. I do not take creative credit for teh actual art work. I have emailed the authors of the wallpapers and the icons and asked them for permission to distrubute my themes for free with there hard work on them. I will not release any till i get permission.

your pm will not help you. I am an advocate for doing the right thing and giving credit where it is due.

Wow! I hope you get permission for this one. I really like it!

I don't have any means of posting the file on a website though...

For 8700:

Barracuda, any way you can post this theme or PIN to me? Or ask if anyone else can host it for you? Thanks.

srl7741, I didn't see the first theme that you posted. Looks like Barracuda modified it for the 8700 but couldn't post it for downloading. It's the one with the grass background. Any way you can make that theme available for the 8700? It would be much appreciated.

srl7741 · 01-26-2006, 08:51 PM

I will post it when i get to my desk, I thought i did? post that theme for the 8700 not long after the 7100 post. But it may have been for the 7200. Either way i will upload the file soon. I keep all those themes for rainy dayZ.

Ahh? on a second look back, the vista theme with grass i did not post. Odd that's the theme i use too. It has a very nice combo of colors and things are seen well.

Try this. Not sure how will look but it might be worth a laugh or two.

Just save it to your Mac and send it to your BlackBerry email address to get it on the 7130e.

Question - some of these themes have only shadows of the icons, then I guess they appear when rolled upon, right? Is that an integrated part of the theme itself, or an option for any theme I already have?

The theme creator has changed the opacity of the icon images that are then coded into the theme. Its not within the handheld to change them.

And yes, they may or may not "light up" when rolled over because each one has at least 2 states: static and focus. Some like Bluetooth, have 4 because they toggle Off-On and On-Off and each has a static and focus image associated with it.

Gotcha...

How difficult is it to make themes for the 8700? If it isn't too tough, I'd like to try. Where would I start?

Its easy as pie to make themes. But, its a bit more work to get set up.

You need a PC or Virtual PC on a Mac (with plenty 'o horsepower) and the following free software:

Plazmic CDK 4.1 from plazmic.com
The BlackBerry Java Development Environment 4.1 (huge download)

More specs here: http://www.plazmic.com/en/download/index.shtml

Then, you need some image editing software like Photoshop to build or modify the images. The Plazmic software has a fairly decent manual and release notes.

Only problem is if you're on a Mac-- there is no way to download the themes direct. You either need a PC or a web host that can be configured to allow OTA (simple on Linux or Unix systems).

Can anyone make a theme that resembles the O2 theme used in 4.0?

k40jeep · 01-27-2006, 12:32 AM

megabit thanks and i'll try it tomorrow and let you know.....

uNtouched · 01-27-2006, 12:41 AM

here is another one, based on a tommy hilfigure tie.

I like this! Can you send the files to upload this theme to my phone?

Can share this one with us? Please....

I really like this one! I want it in my BB 7100!

I've read in various threads that i need OS 4.1 to load this themes. I've tried with OS4.0 just to see what happens and i get this message: "The following modules could not be loaded because their digital signatures were invalid."
My BB is associated with a BES plan. My question is (maybe you can help me) why can I load other themes and not this kind of themes? I know that I can't load software to my BB. The same message appears when I try.
But I've download the themes from Orange, O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone networks and installed them without any problem.
Do you know why?

Thank you.

BTW I've got one 7100v
