Theme Reviews
[Review] Seven Point Ten by BBThemes
If you want a dope theme I’ve always been quick to point directly to my good friend Dave over at BBThemes. There’s something special about devs that will spend as much time as it takes to release a great product, without rushing it out. Add Seven Point Ten to the must have list. Plus it boosts those sick BlackBerry 10 icons. Users holding onto their OS6, OS7.1 devices impatiently awaiting a Z10 or Q10 deserve this theme.
[FREE] The Official Kisai Labs Theme by Kisai Labs
Some developers will almost always guarantee a high quality product. Take 2 of those developers and you get something that may be considered a classic or nearly perfect product! At least that’s what we have here. Berryfication favorites Kisai Labs & The World Of Pootermobile teamed up to bring us The Official Kisai Labs Theme! It’s FREE.. Compatible with many OS 6.0 to 7.1 devices & very attractive.
Features:
• Default OS7/OS6 layout
• Wallpaper friendly
• Custom icons
L Theme & Pink L Theme w/ mini icons by Themerzz
It’s always cool when I meet a new theme dev. Weather Themerzz has been doing this for a bit under a different name is unknown to me. But the latest themes he’s done are pretty attractive. L Theme with mini icons is my favorite. For the ladies he’s got the Pink L Theme with pink mini icons of course.
[FREE Theme] M_Purple by BerryGlowDesigns
“The theme is called M_Purple, and as you may remember, it is the 5th “M” theme – the one on which CB forums voted for the color scheme. It is OS5, OS6, OS7, OS7.1 and 99xx ready, and it is 100% free.” This was the beginning of a great email from our friend and developer BerryGlowDesigns.
You should remember the awesome M Series of themes – recently reviewed. And special CrackBerry contest here. Fans of BGD voted for the Purple theme. Of course he made the theme FREE! Grab your FREE copy below and be sure to snag some FREE wallpapers from his site here.

[Featured Developer] CJH – maker of Doodle.M, 7 Colors Bubble, Classic theme & more!
Once in a very rare while I find a developer that really impresses me. Once in a while I meet someone with integrity, style, passion. But most importantly – to customers – some pretty attractive themes. Before we have no more themes which I still find odd, the company that embraced such an original culture is going to be the first to move away from it. But hey things change. We evolve. And who knows where some of these talented individuals might find themselves. Hopefully still working in 3rd-party development for BlackBerry or at least doing what they’re passionate about.

Just in time for the newest film. MMMOOO used a good mix of their popular & free theme ‘The Birds‘ combined with a very cute Twilight theme designs.
Features:
1. Gothic Style!
2. Design by expert who had won the BlackBerry Theme Design Competition!
3. Hot and popular elements in the theme!
[Update] Cocky Culture – 3 themes Now on OS 7 & 7.1
If you’ve had anything to do with themes or original design & BlackBerry in the past year or two then you already know the name. His name is Tony. He’s the reason for many theme developers. The reason we sought more than just a “Today Screen” or pardon the pun but “iPhone” icons. He’s done his work his way. He’s held major contracts with sports organization. He was the first person I asked to make the Berryfication theme. And only one we allowed it to be official.
The Swagger is still here. He’s actually hired one of the most talented individuals involved in theme development to get his themes over to 7.0, 7.1 before he goes into theme retirement. Sorry but with RIM finally cutting the plug on this culture that was at one time exactly while I got into all of this, started Berryfication, made over 500 BlackBerry developer contacts. Tony taught me a lot about pride and exquisite design. I will continue to support his products no matter which platform he brings talent too.
[Review] Blue Bokeh 10 by Walker Themes
He sends me this little hints. I think Walker must be at least a month or two from a release, then he drops a near-finished sample on me. Right after I begin enjoying KPOP, Walker slips me Blue Bokeh 10. I dumbfounded. Absolutely gorgeous theme. Walker Themes knows exactly how to create just what he wants. Luckily the majority of users will be just as excited a I am about his products.
Features:
• Blue bokeh effect ICON SET
• Haru-Haru Clock Style ( Pls see screenshot )
• MENU and PANEL background are transparent
• Wallpaper friendly
• Custom Battery & Custom Signal
• Custom Menu Highlight Image
• Clean, fast, functional, stylish and easy to use
• Homescreen status
• Support landscape mode.
• All features on potrait mode work perfectly on landscape mode.
[Review] Equis by Pootermobile
I couldn’t wait to show this theme off! Pootermobile came with it when he decided to use many of the elements found in BlackBerry 10. At least the style we’re expecting at this point. Things could change, but that doesn’t change the fact that this theme is a must have for anyone who demands more than just a wallpaper change. The theme is called Equis..
Features:
• Default OS7/OS6 layout
• Wallpaper friendly
• Custom icons
• Media player skinned
Some theme devs will only get better and better over time. But the stunt of support may have many moving again to other platforms just like OS7 did when RIM decided not to support theme studio back when many devs where waiting patiently for another software that never came. Even though hundreds of RIM developers went to Android & iOS, that may not mean RIM doesn’t have some sort of plan to keep these guys on board. Or maybe another purpose? We’ll see.
Anyways let’s take a look at Cosmic by BBornot2B, because it is quite attractive and one of my favorite new themes! I’ve had plenty of time to check Cosmic out on both Bold 9930, and Torch 9850. BBornot2B is paying close attention to the needs of each user.
Features:
• Full custom icon set
• Custom unread icons
• Weather slot on top banner and lockscreen
• Custom battery and signal metters
• OS7 available
• Customised colors / fonts / dialogs / menus
[Review] Volver by SamgbxDesigns
For me to see a new theme by SamgbxDesigns is rare and practically unheard of. He’s not your average 3rd-party developer. He does what he wants when he wants. And draws his inspiration from some of the from of the most talented sources, including himself.
• Default OS7 layout
• Wallpaper friendly
• Brand New Custom icons
• Media player skinned
Free Jammin ‘BBJam Theme’ by Pootermobile!
Hey all! If you’re with me here at BBJam, you’ll want to rock his latest Jam Theme! He made it especially for this week and can’t be here to share in the excitement of the Jam. So, he is giving away this theme for free so he can be here in spirit! Check out his page here: http://theworldofpootermobile.com/2012/09/free-jammin-theme/ and I’ll keep my eyes open for Berrys with his theme on them! The theme is good for BB7 Devices and many BB6 devices as well.
It’s very Jam inspired, right down to the colors. A very Jam-esque purple highlights the otherwise White and Grey theme. It’s simple; it’s beautiful; it’s free! Thank you, Pootermobile, for all of your hard work!
