Default "today" styled theme that isn't so ugly

Please Login to Remove!

guys
i love how the today theme works, with my appts and new emails on the front page.... but the yellow and the ions are ugly as sin. i want a slick, professional or technological looking one. all the themes i've found are in the same format as all previous blackberry models, icons etc.


somethin like this but nicer looking....



any leads???

I haven't seen any other than the Today theme itself. Kinda surprising as it seems like this should be very popular.

Currently there are vodafone (the one in the picture) and 02 varieties of today available. That's all there is until RIM make more.

Eco that. I like the Vodafone theme although it limits you with moving apps around.

Has anyone figured out how to change the colors of the Vodafone Today 8700 theme to get rid of the ugly green color combo? Maybe to something like in the pic?

You won't be completely converting, you'll just be adding a theme.

The Pearl is my first Blackberry and my only real complaint with RIM is the inability to customize themes such as the Today theme. For a company that for the most part makes devices with the business person in mind, this is really unacceptable.

I'm no fan of Windows devices, but this is one area where they kicks RIM's butt. And it doesn't have to be that way.

Most "business people" I've worked with don't take much time to care about what theme they're using, let alone how to cutomize it.

Really? I find that surprising. Most "business people" I speak with that have Blackberrys tell me they wish they could customize their home screen. Another complaint is that applications can't be grouped in folders.

Speaking as the Associate Regional Marketing Director for an international grocery chain.....(translation = I am "business people")......I love customizing my BB.

Got the Zen theme going....use PocketDay and flop back and forth between that and my desktop (pics of my 2yo and 4mo daughters)......got custom ringtones for tons of people......
