[Free] Simple Weather Slot OS6 9700/9780 theme
- Simple Weather Slot
I've built a theme as simple as can be, with a weather slot at the upper right. You're able to scroll into the weather slot, so navigation is circular as per the pic below. The weather slot is the 7th icon in the list, so just re-arrange your icons for it to be the 7th in the list of apps and you're good to go.
The locks screen for all versions as of the March 18 2011 release has a static dark wallpaper as well as the weather slot, so you don't have to unlock your BlackBerry to get a glance at your current weather conditions.
If you are not using keyboard shortcuts, I suggest using the non-customized shortcuts one, as otherwise you're likely to have issues when using universal search for something that starts with the letter "s".
Any bug fixed will be done for free, and any changes I'll make for a $2 for the first week and $5 there-after payable via Paypal once the moded theme is ready for you. The theme as-is is free however, so enjoy :-)
Please note: This theme will only work on OS 6.0 97xx devices.

You can't change that wallpaper, but I'll consider it a defect since it disables your view of your icons. Try this one and let me know if it works for you:

- To everyone expressing your gratitude, I'm glad you're enjoying this theme. I actually designed it for myself as I've found nothing like it, and decided to share it with the world now that I've put in the work anyways. I keep making minor tweaks every time I think of something, so keep an eye out for updates, which will be posted on the first post (the download links won't change).
I have just replaced the "alternate wallpaper" OTA one with an updated ver. Give it a try and let me know what you think of this wallpaper http://forums.crackberry.com/f227/fr...7/#post6065054 . I know it can be a little bit hard to see the icons still, but that's the darkest one I could find in my archives. If you're still having troubles viewing the icons in that screen, please suggest a different wallpaper and I can give it a try.Last edited by Sashko; 02-22-11 at 11:02 AM.
02-22-11 10:50 AMLike 0 - I was after something with a background like this for both the wallpaper and the menu.

I can't find the original But something dark and simple, just makes the icons and text a lot easier on the eyes02-23-11 03:22 PMLike 0 - I finally found one that makes the icons much easier to read.

- Orangepit,
Glad you're enjoying the theme.
The weather slot contents are controlled based on the weather app you use. My fav is WeatherEye however it doesn't have much customization in respect to the text you're referring to. I'd suggest checking out the free ver of BeWeather which does have the customization you desire. You can get it from App World here: BlackBerry App World - BeWeather Free02-25-11 10:33 AMLike 0 - I've updated all the versions of the theme to now include a static dark wallpaper on the lock screen as well as a weather slot on it which took a tonne of adjusting.
Special thanks to molson0 for his/her help with getting the weather slot text to appear on the lock screen.
You can refer to the 1st post of this thread for all the OTA links, screen captures, and other details on this theme. Enjoy!03-18-11 11:13 AMLike 0 - I agree with andy.
Please change the background like in the link of andy. ( http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...t/41cc08b1.jpg )
I will appreciate that
Thats a great wallpaper. Theme is perfect, just please fix the wallpaper.
Thanks in advanceLast edited by student1990; 03-22-11 at 02:03 PM.

However the link that Andy provided doesn't give me access to an actual wallpaper.
I've chosen to go with an alternative wallpaper that takes care of the issue where the icons are not very visible which I consider a defect since it disables your view. If you have a specific wallpaper for a specific screen you'd like me to use, please let me know. However the main screen is still user-customizatable when it comes to the wallpaper.03-22-11 03:33 PMLike 0 - The link you provided doesn't work for me.

But how about this menu background :
Can you use this ?03-22-11 05:06 PMLike 0 - great theme, I've been using it for a few weeks now....any chance you can do one exactly the same but squeeze in a hidden today somewhere under the weather banner with a few entries? Keep up the great work and thanks for keeping it free.
Cheers!03-30-11 01:45 PMLike 0 -
You simply make a blank image file and then you use it for the background of the banner on the home screen.04-01-11 03:58 PMLike 0
