Free Themes for the 82xx, 95xx, 9000, 9630, 8900 and 8520!
Sep 9, 2009 Themes
Wow, it seems like all we do is post FREE themes! Thats because we believe that you shouldn’t have to pay for something as simple as a theme! Here are a handful of FREE themes for several different Blackberry Devices. If you’re a theme developer and you want your theme featured here, let us know!
First up is a theme for the Flip 82xx. Its a Simple Hidden w/ Weather slot theme for OS 4.6.0/4.6.1. It has a hidden dock with focus icons. This theme has a hidden dock with a single icon on the homescreen for a weather app, or whatever else you want to put there. The 6th icon on the app screen goes in this spot. Icons and fonts are user customizable.
You can Grab it OTA Here for 8220 OS 4.6.0 OTA or 8230 OS 4.6.1 OTA
The next theme today is for you OLDER users of the new Tour 9630. The BIG theme is a simple take on an original. Increased the fonts and indicator sizes make this one an easy to view theme for those with failing eye site. The rest is pretty standard stuff….
You can grab it OTA Here
Next, for you Storm 95xx users, we have something for those who have been longing for the look of the Bold/tour on your storm. The BoldTouch Theme is a bold clone for the storm. There are just 5 and 10 icon basic versions as well as versions with hidden today and a slot in the banner. The theme is nice and clean and features the background from the bold thats come to represent everything good in the world 
.
You can grab the 5 Icon OTA, 10 Icon OTA, 5 Icon with Hidden Today and WB OTA, or the 10 Icon with Hidden Today and WB OTA.
Now we have one for the Bold. Animated Raindrops features an animated background (its very subtle, but the animation is there). I wasn’t too impressed with this theme, but those who like animations might like it.
You can grab it OTA
The Voyage theme for the 8900 pretty much speaks for itself. There are 7 fixed homescreen icons: options, media, contacts, messages, blackberry messenger, calendar and profiles. There are also two user defined buttons that turn blue to the left and right of the profiles icon. There is a hidden today area that can be accessed by scrolling up from the messages and calendar tabs. There are also large tabs that appear for missed calls and missed messages. The battery is in the “vent” to the left of the clock and the signal is in the “vent” to the right of the clock.
Its a sick looking theme you can pick up: OTA
We’ll end today with one for the 8520. All I’m going to say about this one is Calvin and Hobbes

HTC Hero theme for Curve 8900, Bold and Tour!
Aug 24, 2009 Themes
It appears that Blackberry Themer ElyCruz is back with a vengeance this time releasing the HOT theme HTC Hero for the Curve 8900, the Bold and the Tour.
From the forum post:
Hero to the left, Hero to the right everywhere you go there is a Hero around you. EThemes take on Hero UI.
5 user define icons, Calendar, Messages and SmsMms Preview Screens, Weather Slot Icon, QuickLaunch Icon, Media Icon and Network Icon, set it up right you would never have to leave the homescreen at all!!!!!
Weather App must be the first App on your App Screen
Apps 2-6 are the 5 user define icons on the dock
Calendar, Messages and Sms/Mms cannot be your 5 user define icons since they have there own screen. It would look odd since the today part will be covering the middle icons on the dock
You wont be able to select the today part only preview the 4 entries
There are two versions for each model, one with the messages combined and one with them seperated out. The links are provided for both. If you like the theme, make sure to visit the forum posts and DONATE so that ElyCruz keeps sharing the love!

Bunches of Free Blackberry Themes!
Aug 18, 2009 Themes
Yo, thats right! Here we are with some more free themes. This time, the Bold (9000), Curve (8900) and Tour (9630) get the love…
First up are two themes by RockDog97. The Glaskart Bottom Dock Themes have some pretty cool styling and come with either a quicklaunch icon or the today plus feature on the home screen. The icons are slick with the Glaskart look. One thing to note is that in order for the calendar to pop up, it must be in the 3rd position.
You can grab the Glaskart Bottom Dock 8 Icon with integrated Quick Launch Icon (glaskart_BD8QL) OTA Here and the Glaskart Bottom Dock/Today/8 Icon (glaskart_BDT8) OTA.
Here are two themes for the 8900 from kscrum. First is the Voyage theme. According to kscrum:
There are also two user defined buttons that turn blue to the left and right of the profiles icon. There is a hidden today area that can be accessed by scrolling up from the messages and calendar tabs. There are also large tabs that appear for missed calls and missed messages. The battery is in the “vent” to the left of the clock and the signal is in the “vent” to the right of the clock.
You can grab it OTA
Also from kscrum is Infected. Infected itself is a green theme (which might not appeal to everyone) and it has some of the features everyone has come to expect in a theme. It has 10 user defined home icons and a hidden today area that can be reaced from the first two slots(put your messages folder and calendar in the first two slots on your app screen if you want the hidden today to be “reachable”. The new message indicator is a small pill that shows up in front of the icons.
Grab it OTA
First up for the tour is iTour with the hidden today and weather icon. Designed by andyriot this is a pretty simple theme with a lot of extras packed in. Nice, clean and simple.
- icon 1 = weather
- icon 2-7 = bottom dock
- icon 2-6 = goes up to today area
- today area = goes up to profiles
- icon 7 = goes up to icon 1 (weather)
You can grab it OTA

Free themes for the 8900, 9000 and 9500…
Mar 27, 2009 Themes
So its been a couple of weeks since I posted last here (for several reason) and I thought I’d come back with a couple of free themes for you today. Starting off is a cool theme “series” for the Storm. I’m only going to feature one theme out of this series, you can decide if you want the others. The Glow Theme and Glow Sliding Top Dock Theme is a pretty nice simple looking theme for the storm. It features 10 user-defined icons on the home screen, Fast, fully working hidden docks “slide” 5 icons onto the top of the home screen (10 Icon Glow Sliding Top Dock theme only) or 4 icons onto the bottom of the home screen (Glow Hidden “L” theme only), “Clicking” the middle of the home screen between the two rows of icons launches the application menu just like on the Default Zen theme, “Clicking” the time in the banner launches the Clock application, “Clicking” the signal strength indicator in the banner launches the Manage Connections application, Hidden today feature, allowing you to see up to 10 New Emails/SMS’s or Calendar entries, Professional, clean and simple appearance with the BlackBerry Bold icons. You can pick it up OTA
The next theme is for the Curve 8900 (Javelin) and is a pretty snazzy number called Zulu. It features a hidden dock on both sides and bottom and features customizable icons. This is by far one of the cooler themes I’ve come across in a while. Grab it OTA
Lastly we have a theme for the Bold. Serenity Now is a peaceful looking theme that rearranges the layout of the homescreen and changes up the font a little bit. The icons are customizable and the theme is a little serene. Check it out at BlacklightThemes.
