Default Theme Studio Question

Hello, I have a blackberry curve 8520 and I use theme studio. I have a question, I know how to change the banners on the homescreen (refer to attachment_3.jpgattachment_3.jpg) and the application screen (refer to attachement_4.jpgattachment_4.jpg) but where can I modify the banner for example, in the browser (refer to attachment_1.jpgattachment_1.jpg) or when music is playing (refer to attachment_2.jpgattachment_2.jpg) , that banner always stays the same. Where am I able to change that?

I apologize for any and all grammar and spelling errors, and thank you for your time, and have a good day.

Can you show examples of what you would like to change them to look like?
Do you have Screenshots from another theme?

I could, but honestly it isn't all that different, I basicly want the signal strength as bars or as numbers to be moved over a bit so it isn't covered by the contactivity indicator...

Ive never seen any BB not have the connectivity over the signal.... I am not trying to argue, but asking for reference so I can help you as much as I can.

Can you please submit a sample?

here is what I want it to look like (my theme that I made) attachment_5.jpg but I want it to be like that on this screen attachment_6.jpg

What I want to know is where that banner is in the Theme Studio (if it is in there) and where or how to modify it...

You can't change that screen in Theme Studio. It would be nice if we could, but there is no possible way as of now. That may change in the future.

There are a lot of things in Theme Studio that I wish could be changed, the examples posted are only tiny in comparison to what I wish that it could do.

so then my next question would be, how to change the font of the signal strength...is there a way? I have googled this a little bit but haven't found anything useful. I hope that I can change it, because I hate either having to guess what my signal strength is past 2 bars while I'm surfing/loading a page or having half of the db number covered by a contactivity indicator. Also, I have tried changing the indicator around a bit, but I can't make it much smaller.

hey just out of curiousity, the theme I made, I changed the calling screens as well, (all 3 of them) and I noticed a few instances over a couple days time, that the phone when answering a call or calling someone, that it reverted back to the old "normal" indicator and battery icons...any ideas what caused it?
BTW I have tried to recreate those instances with no sucess on the simulator and on the phone itself.

If you start having issues like the phone reverting back to a default theme, simply pull the battery while the device is on. Wait 30 seconds or so, and then put the battery back in. Everything should be back to normal after that.

Nothing can be changed on the browser page. The font cannot be changed unfortunately, so you will always be partially covered by the transmission arrows.

You are quite welcome. I know that it can be really frustrating when first working with Theme Studio, but the more you do it, you will understand what can and can't be changed.

Good luck.

Heck if I wasn't in college and had more time to learn/experiment with it, - would try to crack the theme files or the theme studio and change it myself, i used to do alittle bit of that stuff kind of hacking but its been a few years since i stopped messing around with coding.
