Lovely MoonStars

Lovely MoonStars by BB Freaks

Looking for something out of this world and fresh for your display? There's no better theme developer than BB Freaks to make sure you start the year off right. Lovely MoonStars lives up to its name with a clear and simple design with sparkling stars and moons woven throughout. This motif can even be found in the media player. I really like how the silver icons and graphics contrast with the dark space backgrounds. Theme lovers take note the background does remain even if you switch wallpapers so the moon and the stars will shine over all of your favorite images. You can always tell a theme is a BB Freaks theme as they always deliver solid, quality designs that don't drain performance or memory. Lovely MoonStars is compatible with most devices running OS 6 and higher. Be sure to beam yourself over to BlackBerry App World and grab this today for $1.99.
