Until we find a fix for the small icons not updating...
V35.5 - No Carrier - Smally10and1Custom
to explain the creation of this theme V35.5
Smaller Icon Updating? - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com
Basically if you use a theme that uses small icons (including shrinking the 3 party applications) well the red asterix is not updating on those themes. Even If you have read the email well the red asterix stays after.
On this theme (this one is not shrinking the 3rd party applications), the red asterix is updating correctly, you are still using small icons and you can place a custom application on the home screen that updates correctly (in this case on the home picture WeatherEye is updating fine)
