Please: Donate!
FAQ
Problem: I can't download the theme! It says redirecting!
Solution: Refresh the page; it should work. If it does not, please post in here to let me know. Make sure you are using either Opera Mini or the standard browser on your BlackBerry Storm 95xx!
Problem: Can I change which 5 icons show up on the homescreen?
Solution: Yes! The first five icons will show up on the homescreen.
Problem: The theme is running slowly!
Solution: Do a battery pull, go through the menus/lock screen etc. Once the theme has been "loaded" into the active memory by the Storm, it should be smooth.
Problem: HEY! The folders aren't skinned!!
Solution: They are. There is a bug with the Storm. To solve it, rename your folders (or name them as something, then name them back).
Problem: My SMS and Messages are combined, but I want them to be two different icons!
Solution: Open up "Messages," hit your BB button and go to "Options." Go to general configuration, and under the option for SMS/Messages, change "Theme Controlled" to "Separate."
Problem: I can't change the wallpaper!
Solution: Unfortunately, the wallpaper is as-is in the current version. There were some problems being caused when the wallpaper was assigned as a background; to work-around the issues I was forced to put the wallpaper into the SVG itself.

I've canned the old screens for the newest set of screens, which now much more accurately represents what the skin will look like. The screens are taken directly from my BlackBerry 9530 running v4.7.109!

Added a screenshot of the active call screen.
Functionality > Looks. I will be changing the font so it does not match the screenshots below. The current font does not support underscore, among other symbols (degree is important for WeatherBug!). Update: I've found a suitable replacement; it's also easier to read.

I want to introduce to you guys the current theme that I am working on...Cartoonista!
I plan to have it entirely skinned. There are minor things which still need skinning but I've skinned most of everything including applications, dialog box icons, status meters, etc.
Attached are a couple screenshots of how the various screens should somewhat look like. Basically, my goal is this: anything that can be skinned, will be skinned.
I'm looking to finish the skin in the next couple of days, I've already spent wayy too many hours on it haha. As usual, the theme will be FREE, and I will provide an OTA download when it is complete.
If you are kind enough to donate (any amount is appreciated), I will gladly send you copies of the theme before releasing it to the public, and if you have any feedback for me about the theme after using it, I would be glad to take that into consideration before releasing a final version. Donations or not everyone will receive the final version in due time for FREE!

03-18-09 08:13 PM - thanks! no plans for hidden today right now at least...don't know where i'd put it..since the icons at the bottom come up when you select them anyway, and i forgot to have the app name displayed in the screens (it'll be there though). & yes they are the first five -- pick and choose!
i noticed the same; i don't mind! whoever likes it
and again thanks to everyone for the positive feedback03-19-09 01:03 AM - one more picture to add to the bunch - active call screen.
Also, as much as I love the blue bar at the bottom of the homescreen, I may need to get rid of it for the sake of the BB's limitations -- I want the theme to look good on the BB, I don't care how it's "supposed" to look. If it looks nice the way it's "supposed" to look but doesn't look nice on the BB, that doesn't cut it. I'll miss it
.
Also, that's it for tonight..I'm exhausted...3 AM..haha.Last edited by theconfused1; 03-19-09 at 02:06 AM.
