Question about Themes
- I have the "theme builder" downloaded on my computer, and I've been playing with it a bit here and there, but I am wondering where people are getting their different looking icons. Also, how do you create a hidden dock? I'm not asking these questions so that I can jump on the bus and start making themes to sell, I really just want to make my own, and if they are good enough in my opinion, I would offer them to others for free. But I first need to know how...
I've gotten free themes as well as paid for a few, but there are always little things I would change to make them "my own". So, how can I just create my own???05-26-10 09:18 AMLike 0 - but if they are the ones doing all the themes and probably selling them, do you really think they would tell me their secrets? Granted, I'm not going to go mass produce my own themes and spread them around, but it's still something that they have the info for.05-26-10 09:31 AMLike 0
- they sell themes they consider "premium" when they are free themes, they still have some customer icons.05-26-10 09:35 AMLike 0
- It's not really secret. The icons can be found online. Just do a google search for BlackBerry icons. I have never made a theme so that's about as much help as I have. I only know that much because I was going to attempt to make a theme for myself. However, I found I didn't have enough time for the learning curve there is with the theme software.

- Hello calikat421,
Mostly everything you're looking for is in the Theme Developers' Forum here at CB including places to look for icons, hidden dock help, etc.
Theme Builder itself is pretty straight forward except for the hidden querks.
Composer (the application used to create a hidden dock & other magical things) is where you'll need help.
The first place to go is Matt Ginsberg | Web and Graphic Designer | Blackberry Theme Developer. He's a great guy with easy to follow tutorials. I re-watch them all the time for new ideas.
Follow the Composer tutorials even if it's not a topic you're interested in. You'll gain valuable insight into the workings of the program that'll help you create other things.
Other places to look are:
