I decided to try and program my own theme, having a few issues but finally got one to work. The idea is based off of the WinBerry Ultimate theme for the start menu. Love that theme but wanted a few more buttons so I decided to create my own, this theme has 11 application buttons based on personal preference and 9 stationary unchangable buttons via start menu and calendar and clock. This is my first theme so please be easy of the criticism. Your comments and suggestions are welcome and well be considered for future updates!!!

I'm sure there is and I will for sure look into it, bare with me though as this is my first blackberry and Ive only had it a week, so still trying to figure out the phone, never mind the programming of this....lol, but I'm sure you will see it soon enough. Thanks all for your kind words and your very welcome for sharing, and anything I do is always free!!!
wtf i have downloaded it twice, and its showing up in my app list but not in my themes
Unfortantly this theme is only compatiable with OS version 5.0, I designed it for the Bold 9700. I know the curve does not yet support version 5.0, sorry! Not sure if this is the problem, anyone else having any issues???

I know nothing about theme making, but if you can, a dedicated weather slot across from the clock would be perfect.
Same happened with me. Also the icons were faded and blurred to the point you had to roll over them to see what they were. The only icons that were "normal" were the ones that are ATT bloatware. This is unusable as is. I had to do a battery pull. When the same problems occurred on reload I deleted it.

I've updated the pictures to show the current release, basically I added a slot for a weather application in the upper right, moved the calendar date and time to the bottom right. Made the button highlight the same as the original. Hope you enjoy!
cool idea and for the most part well executed. It might just be the screen cap but the start menu icon looks pixelated, like you enlarged a smaller image.
I'd suggest a default microsoft font like arial throughout the theme for consistency. comic sans and snap dont say "windows" to me.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this theme. You did an amazing job...I bounce around from theme to theme trying to find the perfect one and I think I finally found it. Thanks!!!
