With a little help from mrogers and MegaBit my site now has OTA (over-the-air) downloads. I will be uploading most of the themes that are already offered as zip downloads. Currently there are 750+ themes be patient and check back over time for the themes you may be looking for OTA.

Hi Steve,

any chance of a Madonna (singer not religious) theme.

Also I have your Titans themes and they are great. Any chance of an update since McNair has now departed?

Keep up the great work.

8700g please

You can look at the information that is for newbies. It will explain a lot for you. I learned a ton from that area.

In addition to the specific requests often the image used needs to be adjusted in order to work on the screen. Images are sometimes hard to center just right on the berry screen to optimize the look for the user. Images that are cut off or distorted look worse that images with a banner at the top to hide areas of the images not suitable for the berry screen.

An example would be the two images posted. The first image has been changed to fit in the center of the screen and below the banner (looks good) The second image is the original image and would not set in the correct place on the screen. The first images has been changed and looks much better but not all images like that are easy to adjust. Many images have multiple colors and designs within the image and it's difficult to make it fit perfectly on the screen. What the banner does is mask those areas of the image that are very hard to adjust yet make the image as seen centered on the screen and in focus. Many themes have that banner in an attempt to center the image and to hide areas that are not able to be duplicate or adjust for best viewing.
This is certainly the case with the 87xx and 72xx themes. The 87xx banner is stuck in the middle of the screen an the background images needs to be brought down under those wings and banner in order to see the image clearly and make the theme look it best.
Look at Bears4 320x240 it has been adjusted and the images now rests below the wings on an 87xx. Look at the Bears-Test image. The player is now centered in the middle of the banner and wings on the 87xx.

Hope this makes sence?

example:

i understand all this because I too have made around 20 themes now. and yes i do drop the images so they are below the banner. however i still use the hidden banner and the time and notifications etc take up the open space on the top

deniska · 08-22-2006, 02:13 PM

I've been trying to find a 4.1 theme for the 7100 that uses small icons (sort of like the small icon theme I had before 4.1). All the themes I find use the larger icons (i.e. fitting 3 rows of 4 icons). I like to see all my icons on the home screen without having to scroll up and down. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I took the original icons and reduced them by 1/2 and it did not permit 5 to a row all tho the icons were much smaller. So i will try and reduced them even more and see what happens? The next time i reduce them i will tell you that they are going to be hard to see and are very, very small. Another thing to consider after that is how the focus icon turns out and how large it will need to be?

To answer your question? I have not seen any like that yet.

Thanks. I'll just have to wait, I suppose

.

I did find one -- right on the Plazmic downloads (on BlackBerry Extra), called Pixelistic. It uses small icons, exactly what I am looking for. I used it for a couple of hours but reverted to Dimension-Icon, because Pixelistic has a dark background everywhere with poor contrast, and crappy icons. Otherwise it's a nice, compact theme. Maybe someone can adapt it?

They have another one there, Smoothie, which I liked. Nice, clean, and light (although no small icons). The problem with that one is that it uses an some anti-aliased font everywhere, and changing the font only changes some areas, and not others (like menus, message list, etc.) I always use Millbank Tall at 7 to fit the most on the screen, and this default font (while it looks very nice) is just not compact enough. I wish they'd not restricted where the fonts can be changed. Just a thought.

this theme has the smaller icons but still 4 to a row. The smaller icons do look nice but still just 4 to the rows. Try it for a temp fix to your search.

actually all of the SLSeries themes have the smaller icons i think there are 4 of them?
I made the SLSeries in preperation for my 1000th theme. It's looking like the smaller icons will be used but the icons are yet to be determined as the rest of the theme.

Install using your desktop manager.

Here’s how:

1. Download the zip file to your PC:
2. Unzip the file to a folder (name the folder).
3. Connect your Blackberry to your computer.
4. Open up Desktop Manager –> Application Loader –> Add.
5. Find the file called “ThemeName.alx” and click “OK”.
6. Find the file called "Plazmic_Theme_reader.alx" and click "ok".

After the installation finishes, you can now change your themes by going to Options (wrench icon) –> Theme.

Notes:
Icons from any third party vendors will show as they normally do, without transparency.
If you have already installed themes using plazmic_theme_reader.alx file in the past no need to re-load that file over again. Additionally after installing themes keep the theme folder in the same place or the desktop manager will produce a message saying it can't find any additional applications to install in the future if you attempt to install additional themes.

I followed these instructions on my 7290 but opening up Themes, there is still only the Default theme. The theme I downloaded was not there. Powering off the device did nothing. Any ideas?

srl7741 · 08-23-2006, 02:50 PM

Is your 7290 running o.s 4.1 or higher? You must be running 4.1 or higher for the themes to work.
