    Default 9700 OS6 Theme - Something Free and Better then default.

    Hey I have a blackberry 9700 that I upgraded to OS6. I LOVE the default theme except for the dumb side screens. (Favorites, Media, Downloads, Frequent)

    Does anyone know of a theme that's like the default theme except it doesn't have those side screens?

    Or an alternative that's even better in your opinion?

    Also free themes only please.

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    Thanks! I'm still looking for something that's exactly like the OS6 default without the side panel things.

    Any idea where I would look for that?

    I was going to make this exact thread! Haha.

    Here's what I'm looking for:
    -exact OS6 look and function
    -no trays
    -menu button opens up the "all" tray instead of bringing up a menu

    I felt exactly the same so I created my own theme.

    [FREE] Simple Brushed Steel + Weather Slot [OS6]

    It's fully compatible with OS6 but uses the much better OS5 inference.

    Hey Andy,

    Very nice theme. Though, I have noticed when the battery is charging the little thunder icon is not flashing. Can you fix that?

    Also, instead of 6+1 weather icon can you do 7+1 ?

    Thanks again for your good and most importantly, free work.

    i use tinybanner.. a theme that has a less cumbersome home screen banner (but keeps everything else [e.g. icons, etc] the same/factory stock).. search the forums for '(FREE) OS6 Tinybanner theme'

    Tried it but found it to be a tad too cluttered.

    Was looking for a exact OS 6 stock theme but minus out the annoying trays. Just the "all" tray would had been perfect. Also, just hate the "blue" highlight when selecting an icon. OS 5 "transparent glow" highlight was just awesome.

    There are lots of themes out there which try to mimic OS 6 but one way or another end up missing certain features of OS 6. For example,
    - the magnifying search bar won't be there
    - the battery charging icon will not work
    - the network provider logo will be missing
    - just the all tray which pop-up wont be there
    - the fugly blue highlight will be there
    - lastly, won't be able to accommodate more then 3 new message icons

    Nevertheless, I have settled for the following theme for the time being -
    iDark OS6 V1.2

    MyBBOTA.com Download - iDark OS6 V1.2

    it has all the features working except the magnifying glass (darn..) and it doesnt look anywhere close to OS6 theme more like iPhone!
