Default New "Surreal" theme on mobile.blackberry.com

Please Login to Remove!

I found another new theme last night (for my Curve) on mobile.blackberry.com. It's called "Surreal". I don't have a program to pull screen captures but encourage all to check it out. This probably competes with "Today Plus" for the best theme they've ever posted. It's like a bottom dock zen, except the icons are across the middle. Also, on the aplications page, it holds 7 across instead of 6. The top header is very slick, with a real different battery indicator. Also, contrary to my initial gut, you can change the background and it holds it's special attributes.

I changed the background to the 2nd (red) one on the following page, which is from themes4bb courtesy of Larry Farmer.

thx starsrblind - check it out also with the background I provided the link to

also, of note to others, the icons on the home page are custom (like a zen theme) from the applications page

Yeah I kind of like it! Especially the icons. I changed the background too.



Anyone find any "tricks" yet like in Stargazer?

You could very well be on to something. After I installed I received the 523 reset error that just loops with the same error.

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry 8320 Curve)

I like very much both these new themes (Surreal and Stargazer), but I think Surreal will be the final choice.

Here's a silly question....What does the large green button on the home screen (next to the wifi symbol) represent? I am assuming battery level?

Oh man, I came really close to install this on, I'm glad I read the feedback.... well, i guess this will be the first downside of the 4.5 OS, lol !

I like it. And yes the big green blob appears to be the battery level.

I really like the look of this theme but due to the incompatibility with the 4.5 OS I won't be installing it.

Don't bother downloading this if you have 4.5 it will crash your device, I got the App Error 523.

I really want it, but I'd rather stay with 4.5

What I like about this theme is that the font you choose remains the same font throughout, unlike other customized themes. How is this possible? Is it the theme builder app? I wish it were this case for many of those others, if not for that, I would use them.

Works fine with VZ 8830. OP 4.2.2.176 Looks good with Black wallpaper also.

wow!

i didnt pay attention to it at all due to a lack of preview on the bberry homepage, and even after seeing the screenshots above, i wasnt THAT enthused.

but after installing it, WOW! i matched it up with a modified "Vista Aurora, Logo Removed" wallpaper and it REALLY pops! the icons are a bit too whimsical for my tastes, but for now it's staying active. i cant seem to decide between this and the stock T-Mobile Zen theme with the "Cranberries" wallpaper.

i need an app that can swap themes randomly whenever the phone comes out of standby!
