!Futurism Berrygoodthemes
Last week, I took a look at MONO, which was a collaborative effort involving this developer, and this week it's a stand-alone entry that caters to those looking for something a little closer to the stock theme that comes with their device. An awesome ombination of dark grey and red has been used throughout the theme, giving it a clean look without a lot of flash. The homescreen feaures 6 user definable icons, able to be hidden by shortcut keys, and an always-on weather slot centered at the top. Transitions are included in the theme, but are limited, and not overbearing. The developer has made it available for a huge array of devices and OS versions, so anyone liking the look of the theme can check it out in the CB store today on sale for $.99 until the end of July.

Storm
Motus by Pootermobile
No doubt about it, Luis is one of the best developers out there when it comes to clean, functional Storm themes. His latest offering is yet another in a long line of excellent themes, and really makes me miss my old Storm (thankfully this one is also available for my 9700). Starting off with a full set of custom icons and meters, this theme is skinned in a great dark blue and black combination throughout, giving it a very professional look. On your touchscreen device, the homescreen has 5 mini icond, all user-definable, residing in a bottom dock. A weather slot is included in the banner for added value, but the bottom dock is where this theme really shines. Hiding the dock "sinks" the icons and covers them with a panel, and showing them agin causes them to rise up into view again. Altogether a very cool animation, you'll find yourself hiding and showing the dock a few times just to watch. Available for multiple devices in the CB store for $3.99.

Curve
Cute and Colorful by a.leah86
I found this theme while skimming through the forums, and it was just too cute to pass up. The theme doesn't have a huge deviation from the stock theme, but has been well put together, and gives a cute refresh to the 85xx homescreen. The full set of custom iconsare colorful and easily understood, and the banner has been modified for better wallpaper view. All fonts are user-definable, which can be a deal-maker for a lot of users. If you're looking for something a little different to brighten up your homescreen this week, check it out and download OTA from the forums thread below.
