Custom-made Themes Corner - OS 4.1
 

Thought I would put this up just for completed themes for the phones. Please do not post questions. You can post comments about the theme. Maybe mods will make this a sticky.

This is for the not so many Buffalo Bills fans :)

This file includes a doc file with a screenshot of the main screen.

There will be 2 errors you can skip them they are just two backgrounds that I setup that were not done right but it is still working and looking nice.

Here we go
 

I was looking for some other ppl out there to make themes and post em up for everybody to get a theme section going. So here is my weak addition ... LoL ... I hate the blue on everything so I changed it all over to black. I haven't gotten around to changing over the icons yet tho.

It would be nice to know, before we download, what phone these are generated for.

Mine are for the 7130e

good call kyoo ... mine are for the 7100i

you guys might want to include all files, generated from the theme builder, that would be useful, thanks!

SMix713 you guys might want to include all files, generated from the theme builder, that would be useful, thanks!

That Post was for you. open your zip file.. there is only an alx file there.

Hey,

It might just be a stupid Newbie question but I can't figure how to get the Theme on my BB ... :cry:

I go through the various steps of the Applications Loader, select the alx file and then go throug the rest where it looks like the BB Desktop manager downloads it to my BB.
When it is done the BB reboots but I can never see any change in the list of themes that I have ...

Am I doing something wrong here ???

settings >> options >> themes >> choose appropriate theme

or

options >> themes >> choose appropriate theme

Unless you have an OS version of 4.1 on your handheld, it will not work. I believe you have a 7290 and that does not have OS 4.1 at the moment.

If it only works with 4.1, then here is my issue.
Thanks !

Does someone know where I can get themes for 4.0?

Complete themes
 

7100i Themes

8700 Themes

7200 Themes


If your looking for a new theme for your device you have selected the correct thread. Continue to look over the thread and you will find links to well over 500 bb themes.

MFTP!!

Try checking out the sticky thread at the top of the Ringtones, Themes and Wallpapers forum called "Sticky: Definitive Guide to Installing 7100 and 7200 Themes - OS 4.0 ONLY!"

That might be a good place to start.

I have a theme to post but the zip is too big. The zip is 415kb.
Does anyone have a place to upload?

Here's the home screen (for 7130)

I guess noone with a 8700 has figured out how to rip that theme off there, so we can try it on the 7100's huh? ;)

Nice job on those last two - I am using Theme2 now.

quick q before i try these. would these work on a 7130? Does either one of these have the theme, where the battery and signal look like wings?? Thanks!

edited

I got ya.

question, does your themes have the wing like bars? I would be willing to try them on my 7130 if they do? And screenshots would rock when you get a chance, so I know which one I want to try!! Thank you :)

NFL Theme
 

So, I have been playing with the theme creater for a few days.I created an NFL theme that is complete and pretty nice. I couldn't upload it here so I had to put it somewhere else, The reason all icons are not done is because I only changed the ones that are on my main page, I am getting alot better with the program, so if you have any questions I guess PM me if you want to. Let me hear your imput, thanks alot guys, I read everyday but, I only post when it's neccesary. If the link doesn't work, then I don't know what to do. I need someone to host it.

Theme Thumbnails
 

Hi All,

I think its great all these themes are being created and posted here. However, its would be helpful if you could post a picture of the homescreen for your theme. Having to load each theme via the desktop manager (along with a reboot) just to preview it is time consuming.

Thanks for your support.

srl7741,

Please post pics of the themes if/when you can.

This is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
dolo

You could try these.

Never mind I think I found it I did not see the previous link My fault, sorry.

Ok good, lol, thought I might have to make a button to jump at you

Just got back from a XMAS party a bit too many spirits ya know what I mean.

Thats good, getting ready to go out with some friends to have our own christmas party, so..let me know what you think about the theme man.

brand new BB user here.

i'd like to create a (list) theme with the tmobile header. plausible?

anyone have any ideas?

7100i Golf
 

7100i Theme

The time is black and not blue as shown in screen shot.

use desktop manager to install and be sure it install the theme reader if you do not have that already installed. Otherwise just install the golf.alx file. re-boot when done. Find under themes/Golf

I wont be able to see it yet for a while still only have the 4.0 OS. I am just collecting what ever I can for now so when 4.1 is available Id be ready. THanks for your work.

Why is everyone just changing the wallpapers and a few colors, come on guys lets put a little work ingot it, and change the icons and everything too.

Well get to work MrAllStarChris. We just have not had the time to do that much

Ahh? I agree and it has come down to time. Given time i will add icons to suit the theme. Adding the icons specific to the theme is a little time consuming and i have not had the time (considering the holiday)


I will try to add them so.

Well if you guys want use Adobe CS2 it take a little time to learn but once you get it it's easy as hell, When I made my theme I made the icons 130 X 130 and it shrank them nicely. Also to get rid of the bar at the top, where the clock is just create a transparent background in Adobe and it clears it so you can see your whole background.

Good Idea
 

That was a great idea thx. The clear image improves the overall look.

srl7741, waiting on that golf theme. :razz: But please take time off and enjoy the holidays first. The themes you have posted look great.

I do have some good golf clipart, but it's nothing you couldn't google image just as well as I did. Let me know if you want me to send some of them to you.

By the way, this would make a great sticky thread.

You the man SRL!!! Thanks for posting all these! They look great! (y) (y) (y)

Tell me what you guys think, I got a screenshot so you guys won't whine about it, hope you enjoy, PM me and I will send it to you if you want it. What ever icon is being selected it turns into the hockey puck, not as good as my NFL theme but it will do for all of my canadian buddies eh? From Tampa tho, Home of the reigning Stanley Cup, the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Oh and BTW I made the 7100i theme, SRL did not make it, not to sound like a b**** but, give credit where it's due, thanks.

8700 List Theme
 

Does anyone have, or know where I can find a 8700 List Theme that I can then modify with the Theme Builder? I have List Themes for the 7100 but nothing for the 8700.

Thanks for any help. :bb:

srl7741

Great golf theme. I sent you a PM to get all files attached to it. The one on this thread did not work.

Thanks

The CDK doesnt support 8700 list themes (to my dissapointment also).

They have stated they hope to add that in a future release.

First attempt
 

Greeting all,
I've just downloaded the Theme Builder, so here's my first attempt. Quickly made to get my feet wet, but I'll put some more effort into my next. 8-)
P.S., couldn't figure out how to attach a thumbnail!

Created theme
 

This is the first theme that I have created. I wish very much that you could manipulate the locations and sizes (and even forms) of the indicators (battery, signal, time, etc). I feel that the preinstalled themes waste so much space with these indicators when they are utilitarian at best.

That being said, I've attempted to design a theme around them so that they are less emphasized and that is not as graphics-graphics heavy as the ones that come with the device (or in the theme buidler).

The attached theme can really be used with any background (it was designed that way), but I've dropped in a color-matched, old Macintosh background that works pretty well.

I'd love to hear your feedback and am looking forward to the time when we have complete control over the GUI.

I'm lovin those icons, jonlevine. Can you point me in a direction to find some good icons? I'm about all Google'd out looking for usable ones that aren't cheesy!

actually, the icons are the only thing that I didn't change. Those are the ones that come preinstalled in the theme builder.

You are better off making your own. You can do this either by finding Icon Making software, and there are several and free ones even around, or using anything like Adobe Photoshop or even Windows Paint. In these you can take a jpg or other graphical program and resize it to icon size, that is all you need.

gotcha!
 

Okay, cool. I'm gonna start making my own after this one. That way I'll have more control over what I'm trying to create. In the mean time, here's another one, and I THINK I've got the screenshot this time!

Fotget it I found it

Or to eliminate the headache of constantly emailing them to users, you can try one of these sites to upload them to.

Also, very nice work on the orb1 theme.

enjoy

I have loaded all 4 of these 8700 themes (plus the original themes created by srl7741). Honestly, I can't get into the game themes to much, they are just too confusing for me (haha). But the golf and the lake theme look great on the 8700. I'm a big fan of both at this point. I wouldn't mind a little flashier messages icon (something that moves more), but that is pretty trivial and other than that, I have swapped between both a dozen times trying to figure out which I like better.

I'm also a fan of the clear_shadow posted above. That has a very crisp look to it.

Very nice job to all who are producing these themes. I am artistically incompetent, so thank you.

I also like the clear shadow theme, its a good looking start of a mac based theme!

I tried loading this, and a few other 8700 themes, onto my 7130 but it does not seem to work.

I use the app loader, install both theme files that you need, and in my phone it lists the theme, but I cannot activate it.

I guess these just wont work for us 7100 users. Would love to try it.

There is a FuzzyBlue theme for the 7100 posted above if I remember right? I posted it a few days back

Just a thought? :smile:

Thanks, i just liked how the 8700 style themes are.

Those are some great 8700 themes. Thanks for sharing!! I really like the orb theme above for the 7100 series. If anyone can make that for the 8700 and post it that would be great!!

I loaded all the 8700 themes from this thread onto my 8700r. Unfortunately the only one that showed up when I went to Options/Theme was the the Clear Shadow theme.

I did a reset on the BlackBerry and still got the same result. However when I went into Options/Advanced Options/Applications all the themes were listed there.

I had to erase all of them except for the Clear Shadow one as it's the only one that worked (works great w/ all my wallpaper though I was very impressed)

Hopefully later on I'll get some more themes that work with the 8700r. So far besides the default ones and the 3 new ones from mobile.blackberry.com I recently added Clear Shadow and got the NHL theme from another website.
I don't know about the rest of you but I like changing the look of the layout
on my BlackBerry.

I have loaded all of the 8700 themes from srl7741 and they have all worked on my 8700c. Not sure if there is something between the "r" and the "c" to cause the load issues, but they all work fine on mine.

Yeah I'm not sure why the clear shadow theme was the only one that worked...

Anyone else with the 8700r have the same issues or is it just my BlackBerry??

On the themes that did not work try loading the theme_reader file and see what happens. I'm out of other ideas 4 the moment?

I Have A Thought!?!?! Why Don't We Make Seperate Threads For All The Different Themes, Saves Less Time, Looking For The Ones You Want That Will Work For Your Phone!

That's what I had thought also... but that didn't work either. I'm gonna try playing around with things today and see if I can get it working. Thanks again for the themes btw!!

Has anyone figured out how to change the font/size of the Date/Time on the main screen with the Plazmic software?

Through the application loader I get the message:

No additional applications for your device were found when I try to load the theme reader file that's included in all the theme files.

That is a goooood question? I email in about that and it's a bug. I'm happy b/c a bug creates a new version with fixes. It also opens the door for additional features. If you get a chance report the bug and ask if there is going to be a fix.

Can you post that wallpaper without the theme for the 7100i ? PLEASE.

I did post it in the background image thread here,

Cool and the gang, thanks.

Any way to add just the icons without the theme. Your themes are off the chain. (y)

I'm glad they acknowledged that. I will send a request as well.

Thanks.

Since I have a 7250 an it still does not have 4.1 OS this is just wishful thinking and a lot of practice so that by the time it gets to me, I should really have this themes thing down pat. I am not posting the cod or axl file since it is useless to install at the moment.
