Finally. Sheesh.
Waited forever for the latest Theme Studio...so here it is, my leebo theme ported to OS 6.
This is a wallpaper-friendly theme - intentionally minimalist.
On the home screen, you can scroll from an offscreen button (which launches the first app in your device order) up to the signal meter (which launches Manage Connections - thank you RIM!).
The following hotkeys are programmed:
E - FileManager Pro
F - Facebook
G - Google Maps
J - Calendar Pro
R - Meterberry
Z - Clock
0 - Profiles
$ - SMS/MMS
On my device, I have installed the alternative OS6 theme (available here in the forum, it was included in 6.0.0.131). With that base theme installed, the apps on my Application screen show text beneath them. I'm not sure whether that is standard in the stock BlackBerry6 theme in later versions, but I'm pretty happy with how it looks.
Basic version
Download it here:
leebo 1.0.4
Variants:
- leebo 1.0.4.1 (Battery meter visible on home screen (very popular request))
- leebo 1.0.4.2 (No G key mapped, launches Google Talk if installed (for BigBadWulf))
- leebo 1.0.4.3 (E - FileScout (for R-Rizzo))
- leebo 1.0.4.4 (UK version, � - SMS/MMS (for mehtaman and all the UK folks))
- leebo 1.0.4.5 (UK with battery meter)
- leebo 1.0.4.6 (UK with battery meter and network (for laurag84))
- leebo 1.0.4.7 (No hotkeys; battery meter, network and profiles icon (for Phill_UK))
- leebo 1.0.4.8 (US version - Battery meter and network (for dirtybird072))
- leebo 1.0.4.10 (US version - network and date only (for jdaclutch))
- leebo 1.0.4.11 (1.0.4.2 with no battery meter (for mirren))
- leebo 1.0.4.12 (no hotkeys AT ALL (for xxldeuce))
Weather Slot version
And by overwhelmingly popular demand, here is a version that includes a weather slot.
Now, my personal preference is for a clean home screen. To that end, I have included the ability to hide/show the weather slot. To show, hit W. To hide, hit 1 (alt-W).
There is still an offscreen icon (in keeping with my desire for a clean home screen), which you can scroll down to in order to remove the focus icon from the home screen. That offscreen icon will launch the 2nd application in your app list.
The weather slot version also shows the battery meter and the network on the home screen.
Download the weather slot version here:
leebo 1.1
Weather slot variants:
- leebo 1.1 Pink
- leebo 1.1.0.2 (Weather slot at top left for FRanatic)
- leebo 1.1.0.5 (Weather slot at top left, S key mapped to Universal Search)
Weather Slot and Hidden Today version
I've added the best resemblance of a Hidden Today I could muster with this beta version of Theme Studio. Unfortunately, several features are either buggy or just non-functional. But I did my best...
Navigation has changed in this version. Scrolling starts at the bottom, on the Today icons. The Today entries will appear when you highlight the icons in the bottom right. Today entries will disappear when you scroll up out of the Today area. You can also hit the Escape key to hide the Today info.
The hidden offscreen icon is now at the very top of the navigation because it was very easy to overshoot the Today icons.
Download the weather slot/hidden today version here:
leebo 1.7
Weather slot/hidden today variants:
- leebo 1.7.0.1 (No battery meter on Home Screen, for MeterBerry/BattEx/SmartBIndie users)
- leebo 1.7.0.2 (fixed overflow issues with 24-hour clock option)
- leebo 1.7.1.0 (1.7 style - plain vanilla - no weather slot, no today areas, no battery meter on home screen)
- leebo 1.7.2.0 (Weather slot, but no today area)
- leebo 1.7.2.1 (Weather slot, no today area, G key not mapped so it will launch Google Talk)
- leebo 1.7.5.0 (No weather slot, no battery meter, E - FileScout)
- leebo 1.7.5.1 (No weather slot, WITH battery meter, E - FileScout)
- leebo 1.7.5.2 (No weather slot, adjusted clock area to accommodate 24 hour time setting, E - FileScout)
- leebo 1.7.5.4 (24-hour clock fix)
- leebo 1.7.6.0 (super sparse home screen - only time and weather slot (for spencerdl))
Large Clock (No goodies)
And here we go...back to the root purpose of my theming - minimalism.
I found that I really liked the larger clock font in the weather slot/hidden today versions, but I didn't like all that clutter. So here is the 1.8 line. Large clock, no weather slot, no hidden today.
- leebo 1.8.1 (ONLY S key is mapped to Universal Search. No other hotkeys. No battery meter on home screen. OhmEye's theme
) - leebo 1.8.2 (all the same as 1.8.1, but WITH battery meter on home screen (for sieuboon))
And some new goodies...
- leebo1 1.2 (this is leebo 1.8.1 but with some, um, new icons. Yes, I know I should have used a corresponding version number. Keep reading.
) - leebo1 1.7.5.4 (See? I figured it out. This is leebo 1.7.5.4 also with, um, new icons)
- leebo1 1.8.2 (There's a pattern showing up here. This is 1.8.2 with new icons)
- leebo1 1.1.0.5 (Again, 1.1.0.5 with new icons)
BlackBerry6 style themes (Trays)
Here is my shot at minimizing the clutter on the new BlackBerry6 style of theme. Frankly, there's not much for theme developers to do (as far as I'm concerned) with the home screen on these themes. Can't add any hotkeys, can't add a weather slot, and can't tweak which trays are visible or hidden.
Regardless, here you go:
- leebo 4.0.0 (no battery meter on home screen)
- leebo 4.0.1 (battery meter visible on home screen)
- leebo 4.0.2 (percentage/block battery meter for mss-ca)
For this series, I used my noggin and named each theme with its version number, so users can install multiple versions of the theme at once.
I will also point out that I made sure all the common elements between home screen and application screen banners line up (I'd like to say perfectly, but I'm not that cocky).
Known Issues
- I have a boatload of variations. I know, my head swims when I look at the list too. Sorry if that's confusing, but I've been doing my best to accommodate everyone's particular preferences...so there's a lot there to choose from.
- Battery charging icon misbehaves on Home Screen and Application Screen - does not show pulsing lightning bolt while charging, in fact does not show anything while charging until battery level is 100%, then shows old style 'plug' icon.
- The 3G bullets are linked to WiFi on the Home Screen, so if you are connected to WiFi and on 3G, the bullets will disappear from beside the 3G indicator and will be repositioned. (Cannot be changed)
- Notifications and network information are slightly skewed (like 1/2 a pixel for notifications) between Home Screen banner and Application Screen banner. This is partly due to the fact that a different icon format is used on each banner for notifications.
- Larger notification icons, like MeterBerry battery meters and WeatherBerry 'thermometer' icons are clipped in application banners. This only occurs on later versions of my theme (1.1.x and higher). I have not determined why the banner was resized between versions. It's nothing I changed.
- I'm sure there are more quirks that have been pointed out, but let me know if you notice something odd and I'll do my best to fix it.
If folks would be so kind as to click the Thanks button, I'd appreciate it.
Donations accepted too.Last edited by wu-wei; 04-26-11 at 11:58 PM. Reason: New variations added.

- Very odd....Composer doesn't offer a way to invoke Universal Search, and assigning "Search" to the S key does absolutely nothing. Let me keep looking at this, because it's a good question.
Maybe this is why the BlackBerry6 themes are so large....

Hopefully something turns up, thanks for looking..Very odd....Composer doesn't offer a way to invoke Universal Search, and assigning "Search" to the S key does absolutely nothing.
