had a pearl 2 years ago and had the a great experience using the today plus theme with the hidden program buttons docked on the bottom.

now i have a tour and i can't find even a today plus theme with the standard icons. the one i found you can't customize the message preview to be only SMS and not email.

any suggestions? maybe i didn't look hard enough online?

Wirelessly posted (Lets Go Canes!)

Blackberrysportsfan has several. Also look at themes4bb, pimpmy berry and Crackberry Media section.

don't want a sports theme, and most of those sites want you to buy them. Does RIM only provide 1-2 themes (seem identical on BBtour)?

Huh.
The other sites besides the first have minimal sports themes if any. Please look carefully. Crackberry media section has pages full of free themes.

I have posted several free sites with the link below from sites suchas "CoolBlackberryThemes"

Search for a theme called BBAmpd. Excellent free Tour theme, but I highly recommend sending a donation for the authors hard work.

i really apprciate the help i really do. CoolBlackberryThemes is nothing but themes for teenagers(hello kitty and movie themes). I'll give the crackberry forums a try(i think that's what you meant by "media" section). Earlier i tried the crackberry themes tab at the top of their main page and that was really weak, with a few free and most direct you to their store.

what i really want is just a standard today plus theme that shows only SMS&MMS in the message preview along with the calendar.

You can also use the free GlassBerry theme if you have a Bold, Curve or Tour

That theme rocks! Really like it.

Pure Lab makes some nice clean themes too.

Moved to Media Center

Reverie HT (Tour) - Full Screen Theme - Free is pretty sweet.

Looking for Tour Themes? Any Suggestions?

Yes, read up. ^^
