Default Make website's an app icon shortcut on home screen!

Ok I know this is sorta for theme builders but I see alot of people looking for 3rd party apps to make website address shortcut as an icon on home screen. You put the website address, name of site or whatever for icon and then you choose the icon you want. I found out a way that many may or may not know about. Mods feel free to move to Theme builders if needed!!

Here is mine, the two icons on bottom right are them. They have the small globe in bottom corner. Its better than Shortcutme or those others because its a one click thing!!!



Here is the info on how to do it threw Theme Builder


You can provide a shortcut to a particular web page address by adding up to ten web links to the application icons screen. When the user clicks a web link icon, the browser opens and displays the specified web page.
Only BlackBerry® devices running BlackBerry Device Software version 4.5 or higher support this feature. If a user loads a theme using web links on a device running an earlier version of the BlackBerry Device Software , the BlackBerry device ignores it and does not display it on the application icons screen.

Click the Application Icons button at the left of the Inspector pane.
Open the Web Links section of the Application Icons screen Inspector.
Select Add Web Link.
In the Name field, type a name for the application. This name appears on the application icons screen, prepended with the phrase “Web Link:”.
In the Address field, type the web page address to display in the browser when the user clicks the application icon.
Click OK.

Looks like that costs....this is free if you make themes or ask a theme maker to add it to their theme.
