Default I hate icons! Text-based theme?

I detest icons--having a screen full of scrunchy little pictures of somebody's graphical representation of a word is nonsense in my pre-windows, DOS-centered world.... So...humor me. Is there a theme out there for 8830WE that shows up as text, like "Email" means "Email," "Address book" means "address book," etc.?

thanks!

Used to be a theme on older berries that was like that. I think it was called List or something like that.

There was a free one on mobile.blackberry.com called phantom. I haven't seen a D/L for it lately.

Thanks to all; Phantom looks like it would work but I've not found a download. I am using the Today Plus theme now, but it still sticks me with a full page of icons for applications. If you like Icons, that's great, but I come from a background of public safety where form should follow function, and having things like a cutesy icon of a woman to indicate voicedialing is simply nonsensical to me. Worse is Blackberry's propensity for cramming indicators like voicemail into miniscule icons that are not immediately obvious at a glance inside a bouncing vehicle in dim light. Put bluntly, what could be a dynamite communication device is hampered in my mind (sigh...perhaps the only mind out there that is so-hampered) with the inability to make it useful. I'd like to have a whopping obvious indicator for voice mail--say a 1/2" square icon if one must have an icon--and the ability to simply list the function in text so I can have my half-dozen commonly used functions clickable from one page, instead of having to flip between two pages as I must even with the "Today" theme. Soooo...if anyone comes up with a solution for this poor text-based, DOS-missing, iconoclastic whiner, I'd sure be glad to hear of it!! Thanks again to all who responded and hoping somebody finds my silver digital bullet for this conundrum.....

You can download the theme builder, and make one to your liking, its kinda a PITA, but you could make it EXACTLY how you want it. Theres a few downloads you have to have, but google plazmic theme builder, and that should get you started!
