14 DAY TRIAL // One of the latest features that the users of BlackBerry smartphones can now enjoy is the availability of various BlackBerry themes at the App World. Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has released a BlackBerry Theme Studio both for consumers and developers, and now some of the first developer themes have emerged in the software portal, offering new ways of personalization for those interested in this matter. Some of the available themes come for free, but not all of them, yet they all offer users the possibility to customize the BlackBerry smartphone they own in a new manner.
Those who would like to learn more details on the new themes can check on them via the BlackBerry App World web catalog from their home computer, where they will need to hit the Theme category listed on the left side. Moreover, the themes can also be accessed directly from BlackBerry smartphones via the BlackBerry App World application. At the same time, the BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0, which can be downloaded for free, offers more ways of making personalizations to a handset from RIM.
“For the uninitiated, BlackBerry themes can totally change how your BlackBerry smartphone looks. There are themes that reflect almost every type of subject - your favorite movies, popular television shows, your hometown football teams, popular comic book characters, nature scenes, rock bands - you name it. When you install a unique theme, it can change the appearance of almost everything on your BlackBerry smartphone - the backgrounds, the screens, the home screen, the icons and even the menus can be changed by a theme to stylistically reflect the subject matter of that theme. Themes can include unique animations, ringtones, and all sorts of visual tricks. Having a theme really helps make a BlackBerry smartphone truly your own,” a post on the BlackBerry Blog states.
Those who would like to take the personalization of their BlackBerry device into their own hands can either head to the BlackBerry App World to download the available themes there, or they can get the free BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0 and start building. Moreover, those who would like to deliver their themes to other people can easily do so, by registering as BlackBerry App World developers. However, other rules also apply, and all necessary details can be found here.
