Blackberry Theme 0
I’ve been playing around with the Plazmic Theme Builder as well as the Blackberry JDE and device simulator to create my own theme for the blackberry. I originally thought of simply putting in my current desktop background on all of my computer into the blackberry to give me a consistent look for all my of my devices, but then I decided to go all out and create an entire theme.
I stayed with the default for all of the application and status icons simply because I’m not advance enough to create my own set. I did however, redesign the overall look by modifying stuff like the background dialogs, banners, incoming call background, and other focus and tabs. The colour palette consists of dark red, light blue and light beige. Fonts are red because it matches the casing of the blackberry, the light blue and beige compliments the red and creates a light and relaxing feel to the theme.
The result of the theme on the actual screen turned out pretty well, you’ll have to excuse the fingerprint smudges:
There are a few things I need to change though. Some banner items placement issues, as well as the incoming call screen size. One thing I couldn’t figure out was how to set the active call background. Right now it seems to only allow a blank white space. The Rogers theme that came with the phone had a big red background with their logo in the center. It’d be nice if I could add something to that big and boring space of nothingness.
