I'm using the stock Verizon Precision Zen.. the few 82xx themes I downloaded haven't worked properly. I'd like something a little different, but can't find anything that works. (I still like the stock theme from my 8130)
Just got the iBerry Pink zen theme from bPlay. It's very...florally. But I love it. Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't appear to have a seperate folder for SMS/MMS and puts those in the messages folder with emails, and also does not seperate text/mms message count in the notifications with a slanted envelope icon when you receive a new text/mms message.
Also got the animated aquarium theme (for my daughter who loves ocean life) but haven't used it yet. I agree there isn't much out there for flips theme-wise, but I also like the stock Verizon zen theme with red home screen.
I tried the sexy flip but while I really, really liked the look of it, found that scrolling between icons of the home screen were really laggy for some reason. I tried several others. Finally, I just took a free one someone posted up that had most of the features I liked best and tweaked it in Plazmic. Shifted a few icons, swapped out the wall papers, rearranged a few things til I had specifically what I wanted. My theme has the Today Calendar and Messages, 10 most used icons and all the regular header goodies.
I have the "City of the World", "Beaches of the World, iBerry Pink, and Aqua. They're all pretty good but some themes have a habit of taking away functionality (like removing the small icon the main screen for changing profiles). Not crazy about that.
Pretty wallpapers are all very nice, but I enjoy the benefits of accessing as a glance certain info on the device
Pardon the noob question (this is my first BB). I installed this theme as well but it flipped my background to black and my text to white. This messed up the view of my emails and SMS messages. Did this happen to you? Help would be appreciated.
Alternatively, is there a simple add on out there that would just allow me to add a calendar section to any today screen. I prefer the stock Zen theme but would just like to see my upcomping events from the calendar on my wallpaper.

With berryweather. Works great, although there is no support for it from the dev as he has been inactive.
It's one of the few themes that I don't notice any memory leak at all, nor extra drain on the battery.
My favorite theme is the jkagan1. The icons are the same as the original so is has a very professional look and the today screen is clear and functional.
Thank you for creating and distributing it.
My requirements were:
Professional looking
Homescreen with upcoming appointment
Homescreen with message notification count (jkagan is okay in this regard)
bottom toolbar
fun (I'll add my own background to make it fun, custom LED's would be another way)
My wish list is:
same info excpet toolbar on the outside screen
I created my own, got sick of crappy themes out there, I love mine, use my own wallpapers and my screen has 8 icons, 4 on left and 4 on right side. Also have customized external screen background.
I use KDE4.2 theme as well. Best theme I've found, functionality and look. I like the weather option and the fact that you can choose icons on the home screen. I have created a few themes but they slowed down the phone, this one is fast and has nice custom icons that are easy to read.
I also like the new CB2 theme, it's free and once you change the background it great. I do wish I could lock the two floating menus that you should be able to customize I think - haven't figure that out yet. The flip just doesn't have the power to fade in and out the menus.
