BlackBerry Themes – Blackberry Accessories & Apps Guide

The great thing about BlackBerries is that not only are they great straight out of the box, but that there are lots of ways that you can personalize and improve them, with themes being a perfect example. Basically, themes offer a way, along with BlackBerry accessories, to make your BlackBerry stand out from the crowd.

When you install a theme, which is simple and easy to do, it can change the appearance of almost everything on your BlackBerry – the backgrounds, the screens, the home screen, the icons and even the menus. They work in much the same way as the theme system used on Microsoft Windows – literally one click gives a totally different look and feel.

There are plenty of great themes to choose from too. Visit an online BlackBerry accessories and application store and you’ll see that there are hundreds and hundreds to choose from. You’ll be able to find every look and style imaginable. From fun and quirky, to elegant and classy, everyone is catered for. Alternatively, if you’re the creative type, you can also make your own themes.

To create your own theme, you need to use the BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0, which is free to download, and pretty easy to use. All you need is some creativity and some skill with graphics software. On downloading BlackBerry Theme Studio, you’ll see that there are two products contained within the suite – BlackBerry Composer and BlackBerry Theme Builder.

Graphic creation and editing is done within the BlackBerry Composer. It’s a useful piece of graphic design software that has the basic features of the standard graphics packages that most people have on their computer. You can use it to create all the images for your theme, though you can import them from elsewhere should you wish to do so.

BlackBerry Theme Builder is the theme design part of the suite. It lets you set which images get used for each part of the theme – like icons, background graphics and cursors. As well as choosing the images, it’s where you can adjust the fonts, change the position of objects on the screen, and set what, if any, sounds and animations are used, and they when they play.

If you fancy making some extra money for yourself, and there is even the potential to make some seriously big money, then you can sell the themes that you create on BlackBerry accessories and applications stores. These online stores can also be used to get inspiration for creating themes. Browse through the list of top sellers and most sought after themes and you’ll have no shortage of ideas – you could even use them as templates for your own ones.

So, to summarize, having a theme, especially one that you have created yourself, and some cool Blackberry accessories, really helps make a BlackBerry truly your own.
