16 Jan 09 Blackberry Bold – Today Theme
My new Blackberry Bold arrived yesterday, as an upgrade to the Curve I was using previously. Unfortunately it was not shipped with the ‘Today’ theme that the Curve was, at least on T-Mobile UK anyway. This was a dire shame, as the ‘Today’ theme was the one I had in use on the Curve previously. Rather than just showing a collection of popular menu icons, which were one button press away anyway, it summarized latest two emails, latest two missed calls and nearest two calendar entries at a glance.
Bold Theme
I trawled Google for something similar for the Bold but short of paying for junk themes or having branding all over it, I had minimal success. I downloaded the Plazmic Theme Builder and got to work. It’s pretty resource heavy and a bit slow and bulky but it gets the job done. Well, here it is - I’ve customized the home screen only, set the font to my favorite (BB Casual), aligned the various items and added a lovely Aum background image that I found. .alx, .cod and the .thm source can be downloaded here. If anyone happens to have more than the hour’s experience with the theme builder than I have, or has any suggestions or improvements, please let me know!

Nice, but the fonts on the front screens message calendar etc are too small for me. My close vision not Being what it used to be I can hardly read that size.
I have the standart bold theme and the only problem I have with it is that It doesnt dispaly my appointments. I have to navigate to the calendar to see them. I dont really care about displaying snippets of messages. not seeing upcoming appointments is more critical to me>
Other than the font size It’s a very funtional theme.
nice work.
Thanks for the theme, I agree with Anon’s comment above, not wanting to appear ungratefull for all your hard work put into this, but it would be better just to show times and dates of the next 3 upcomming appointments in a larger font and not display email details.
