FREE CrackBerry.com Berry Holiday 2 Theme Now Available! Awesome Theme Looks Great on Your BlackBerry Year Round

By Kevin Michaluk on 21 Dec 2009 04:04 pm

* Update - December 24, 2009: I figured we'd better re-post this one for the day too. If you haven't yet tried our free Berry Holiday 2 theme on your BlackBerry yet, then today is the day to give it a go! *

Berry Holidays everyone! Man oh man, our friend Zach from Z Man Themes has done it again this year. Last year he gave us the original Berry Holiday theme, which was pretty cool, but this year he has done up an absolutely AMAZING and FREE BlackBerry theme for CrackBerry Nation, aptly named Berry Holiday 2.

While Berry Holiday 2 is technically a holiday theme, the Z Man fully custom-built this one so you'll be able to use it year round in style. The default wallpaper is festive, but once the holidays are over you can change it up and keep rockin' it all spring, summer and fall (it looks really good with a straight black wallpaper and Berry Weather running - will do up a video tomorrow for the blogs to show Berry Holiday 2.0 in action). You can jump over to TheZman.us to grab the Berry Holiday wallpapers and for more details.

Berry Holiday 2 features three hidden docks. When they're all minimized the homescreen is very clean. Gotta love the CrackBerry fuel/battery gauge in the middle. From there you can scroll up for your core shortcuts and then back down the outer to icons to bring up the customizable side docks (Storm users can check out the hot spot chart). It'll take a couple minutes to get used to it. For devices running OS 5.0 the Berry Holiday 2 theme features nice transitions. I've been running the theme for the past few days and absolutely love it. It's clean and professional, nice and fast and ohhh sooo pretty. Love the icons!

Right now Berry Holiday 2 is available for the Curve 8900, Bold 9000, Storm, Storm2, Tour and Bold 9700 (OS 4.6 through OS 5.0 version available). Support for OS 4.5 devices is coming later this week, so stay tuned for that. Zach's turnaround time on this was pretty quick, so if by chance you experience any things that need tweaking, nicely let us know in the comments and Zach will get to them. Wicked theme Zach!!!!

thezman Dec 21, 2009 at 4:15 pm

Yes the Tour is supported!

dekanfrus Dec 21, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Excellent, downloading now!

thezman Dec 21, 2009 at 4:16 pm

Like Kevin said, support is coming your way. I will have them up as soon as I have them developed. Stay tuned...

Thanks CB community!!

SweetSCBerry Dec 22, 2009 at 10:27 am

This theme will work for the 8330, i really would love to have this theme.

SweetSCBerry Dec 22, 2009 at 10:28 am

will this theme work on the curve 8330, i really would love to have this theme.

trtidwell Jan 9, 2010 at 12:44 am

When will this them be available for the Curve?? It looks great and I would love to have it on my phone

ianig9 Dec 21, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Very nice and clean. An excellent job, "thezman". Thank you. It looks amazing on the 9000.

fyrfyter Dec 21, 2009 at 4:29 pm

This looks Great on the Storm2!

sherv#cb Dec 21, 2009 at 4:46 pm

Same download as Storm?

KillerTruffle Dec 23, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Same download.

Yandar Dec 21, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Great theme. Thanks. BUT why did you have to use that horrid orange colour for the menus?

lraed74 Dec 22, 2009 at 9:36 am

Love the orange menus!!

kevin5377#CB Dec 22, 2009 at 11:43 am

um... because it's Crackberry's colors... DUH

juju705 Dec 22, 2009 at 2:06 pm

I don't mind the orange in the menus, but the orange in the email/lists is pretty hard on the eyes, especially since the date header and the highlight are the same shade (at least, that's how it appears on mine).

Otherwise, I think it's pretty kick@ss, especially for a free theme. I think I'll be using this one for a long time. :-)

Thanks, Z Man and Crackberry!

karamei Dec 21, 2009 at 4:34 pm

Looks awesome..Thank you Zman and CB :)

username0001 Dec 21, 2009 at 4:35 pm

How does CB decide which theme maker gets to make the "official crackberry holiday theme"?

frozencloud Dec 21, 2009 at 4:39 pm

Wait so no 8520 Curve love for this theme?

swade86 Dec 21, 2009 at 7:44 pm

I was about to say the same thing....no love?

gthoffman Dec 22, 2009 at 11:22 am

guess not yet, looks like they are working on an 8330 version, so hopefully the 8530 comes in the same time!

ajieep Dec 25, 2009 at 6:32 am

yup looking 4 8520 too :)

username0001 Dec 21, 2009 at 4:51 pm

kind of strange having custom icons mixed in with the stock ones. just re-read the initial article touting the icons, this theme was definitely made by a guy for guys :)

StorminMama Dec 21, 2009 at 4:50 pm

Are the meters by the clock always present?

KillerTruffle Dec 23, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Those are your battery and signal strength meters. Wouldn't be terribly convenient to have those disappear...

Oldesalt Dec 21, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Nice theme for the holidays.

lonestar1135 Dec 21, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Thank you for the theme. Merry Christmas everyone

davidnyc Dec 21, 2009 at 5:08 pm

Running this on my 9700 on .405, when looking at my call log, the font size of the phone numbers under contacts names appears much bigger than all the other text.

olivr2 Dec 21, 2009 at 5:12 pm

8230 love?

andy957 Dec 21, 2009 at 5:12 pm

Absolutely beautiful!

Captivate me Dec 21, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Thanks alot

AgTitan06 Dec 21, 2009 at 5:20 pm

dude this theme rocks

jdy Dec 21, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Loving it!!!!

1tnvol Dec 21, 2009 at 5:38 pm

I see some complaints but uh ZMan very nice!!! I say if you don't like it, delete!! I love it so much it's my new primary theme! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas.

MRCLrider Dec 21, 2009 at 5:40 pm

Very nice theme imo for being free, thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you too!!

When you are on the home screen, do all the themes take you back to the docked page after a while, this one does it and its pretty nice..its only been a few min running on my 9700 with .421 but all is well so far..anyone notice any QL buttons for anything??

Captivate me Dec 21, 2009 at 6:45 pm

I haven't noticed a QL hotkey....but it sure would be great to have it:)

dillacom Dec 21, 2009 at 5:44 pm

anyone having problems with Storm2? I can't get the OTA or manual to load on my mac

dillacom Dec 21, 2009 at 5:57 pm

battery pull and still says java.io.IOException: resource could not be found http://blah blah.

disctosser Dec 22, 2009 at 1:24 am

No problems here with the Storm 2. Loaded OTA just fine.

KillerTruffle Dec 23, 2009 at 6:50 pm

OTA installed without a hitch on my 9550.

phantom1911#cb Dec 21, 2009 at 6:07 pm

Anyone else unable to install using Desktop Manager application loader? I get a message saying "This application is not compatible with your BlackBerry device and cannot be loaded." OTA works fine. Bold 9700

c0rinne Dec 21, 2009 at 6:09 pm

No Flipberry support, and I expect nothing less.

Thanks anyway though.

Dhamilton623 Dec 21, 2009 at 6:40 pm

very clean very fast very free. Way to go Crackberry you never cease to amaze me

jkfsr Dec 21, 2009 at 6:40 pm

Bummer doesn't work with 8330

sharinlea Dec 21, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Only thing that would have made it better was a keyboard shortcut for quicklaunch.

francscrackin Dec 21, 2009 at 7:21 pm

...in the I,M folder...I want it on the home screen.

Azothyran Dec 22, 2009 at 12:50 am

If you don't like it where it is then move it...

dmlegare Dec 21, 2009 at 7:29 pm

nice theme!!! looks good on the Storm2

oglejd Dec 21, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Great theme. I really like the clock. Thanks for making it free.

rlgwood Dec 21, 2009 at 7:32 pm

I don't like that the SMS in in the application folder, would like it to be in the hidden dock. Is there a way to move it out of the folder, I see how to move them in, but not out. Thanks for the great theme. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!

disctosser Dec 22, 2009 at 1:25 am

Do the same as when you would simply move it but select 'move to folder' and select the folder you want it in. Or select HOME for it to be on the home screen (i.e. - not in a folder)

photo5freak Dec 24, 2009 at 8:35 pm

Looked in application folder and couldn't find it. Know of anywhere it would be? Love the theme but can't send/read my SMS.

Fredstar Dec 26, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Keep looking , dont remember where it was, but its in one of the folders..

rlgwood Dec 21, 2009 at 7:36 pm

Great app

lfmasieri Dec 21, 2009 at 7:46 pm

Love it! I just don't like the LOCKED screen as it mentiones Holiday, I wanna use this theme all year round :D

chelseybrooke Dec 21, 2009 at 7:49 pm

i downloaded this them and now I can't open the options icon! Can someone please help. I am now hating this them and worried I've screwed up my phone....

ElitistMrX Dec 21, 2009 at 8:16 pm

I got it on the 8900 5.0 os! Thnx so much for the free theme!! :) Happy holidays ppl!

iLuLu Dec 21, 2009 at 8:27 pm

I love it! This is now my primary them. This look like a lot of thought and care was put into it. Thanks for the christmas gift!

ST1100A Dec 21, 2009 at 8:29 pm

This is now my default theme. Really like this one!!! Thanks, Z Man!!!

Vuk Dec 21, 2009 at 8:44 pm

Great theme absolutely love it!! Just one little think, it'll be really nice to fix the little lag when the rows of icons come out, the upper one and the bottom one, just did a battery pull and it's still the same!

But awesome theme really love it!

Thanks!!

berrylicious babe Dec 21, 2009 at 8:49 pm

... But only if the clock was placed on the top left or botton right corner :( I use my son's pics as my wallpaper and it's completely blocking off his face. But otherwise I love it :)

dienamik Dec 22, 2009 at 10:46 am

Same here with my daughters pic!! But 4 free its still very good ;)

yaabeng Dec 21, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Zman thank you sooooo much. This is really awesome. The transitions are soo smooth and the transparent backgrounds are so fluid! Wonderful job!

AngiMac Dec 22, 2009 at 12:10 am

Edited to add:

Sorry, I was so excited to see the theme that I didn't read the ENTIRE post... I see that there is going to be an 8330 version soon... so just ignore this post... my apologies

StorminMama Dec 21, 2009 at 9:25 pm

I also have trouble when opening options or anything. When I open anything I have to touch all over the screen even when I just hit menu to get to my app screen. Love the theme just thought I'd pass on the info.

JARVIS Dec 21, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Thanks for this but I had to remove it because it locked up my BB Tour.

Scaryjam823 Dec 21, 2009 at 9:32 pm

This is a great theme. Especially for free, I put a grayscale picture of a 67 mustang gt that looks awesome with the homescreen. I dislike the orange on the menu and the background when in landscape mode (just cause they don't match the car theme I'm going for). Any case great theme thank you.

coopsachillin Dec 21, 2009 at 9:34 pm

Awesome theme! everything is so clear, smooth, and professional. I haven't been a BB user for long but this is definitely my favorite theme I;ve seen yet. AND IT'S FREE!! Great job and thanks Z-man.

noized77 Dec 21, 2009 at 9:37 pm

This theme is so nice looking but I wish the clock is place at some corner so it doesn't block the view so much. If you can modify to accommodate this I'm willing to pay for one! Please consider as most would agree with me.

noized77 Dec 21, 2009 at 9:38 pm

Coffey123 Dec 21, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Thanks so much for this.

suself Dec 21, 2009 at 9:40 pm

I love this! thank you :)

AjStone Dec 21, 2009 at 9:49 pm

Love the theme! Love that its free! I just linked all my BB friends to it!!

Awesome!!!

r1fo Dec 21, 2009 at 10:05 pm

Best theme I've used yet! Thank you for the wonderful gift

MAVS2 Dec 21, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Thank You Zman and Crackberry love the app and the Icons

shangrila9505 Dec 21, 2009 at 10:17 pm

First of all I love the theme!!! My only question or concern is third party apps. When I hit the BB key, there seems to be no way to move them around while they are on the home screen. I can move the standard apps just fine. Thank you for the theme so much.

CatAlex Dec 21, 2009 at 10:35 pm

Excellent, great work! Thanks for spreading the holiday cheer!

Moynes Dec 21, 2009 at 10:52 pm

Great theme looks excellent on the 9000 thanks a million!!!!

mrlee7 Dec 21, 2009 at 11:33 pm

I'm new to the blackberry community.

I have a few Questions:

1) How do I change the background on the icon menu screen? I have only been able to change the wallpaper on the "clock" screen.

2) How do I activate the hidden dockets on the "clock" screen area?

I would appreciate any help - thanks !

disctosser Dec 22, 2009 at 1:29 am

1) There is no way to change the icon menu bkgrnd as far as I know. That is theme defined.

2) There are three tap launchers on the "CLOCK" screen. If you tap to the right of the clock (TAP not CLICK), it will bring up the pre-set icons to the left of the Clock. If you TAP above the clock it will bring in the two hidden docks. Tapping below the clock will hide any docks that are open.

Hope that is what you were asking. If not I apologize.

mrlee7 Dec 22, 2009 at 2:31 am

no need to apologize

The intel was very helpful to me.

Now I know, thanks

anitsh1202 Dec 21, 2009 at 11:34 pm

Keep getting this error both while downloading through OTA and Desktop Manager.. Really want this theme.. any help will be appreciated.. please pm or reply to comment

breadmanjp Dec 21, 2009 at 11:45 pm

I just spent $3.00 on a "premium" theme that sucks compared to this one. I love the clock on the main screen and the battery/signal meters! Will be using this one for sure. Thanks for the great Christmas present...God bless.

cyndiy777 Dec 22, 2009 at 12:05 am

Sweet on my 9530 clean crisp. I found the hidden icon. I will be using this one for a long time. Thank You and great Christmas gift for myself

StorminMama Dec 22, 2009 at 12:15 am

I deleted the theme and redownloaded it and now it works great. Thanks again for your hard work and for giving us this awesome free theme. I'm curious, in the fixed vertical dock, there is an icon for manage connections as well as a manage connections next to the batter meter. Is there a way to change what's in the vertical dock or was this an oversight?

Azothyran Dec 22, 2009 at 12:53 am

I'm thinking the orange was to help convey the whole CrackBerry/Christmas theme. I wouldn't complain too much though; this theme IS free, despite the work that went into it.

bbcicamica Dec 22, 2009 at 12:58 am

Love this theme A keeper.

grizie Dec 22, 2009 at 1:20 am

is it me of does theme drains battery?

disctosser Dec 22, 2009 at 1:35 am

I have been a little bummed about the lack of quality free themes for my 9550 and this one is definitely a keeper. It is pristine.

The only thing I noticed is that when you highlight the signal meter (gauge) or the clock, and then hit the hidden button below the meters... one or all of the hidden docks appear and then animate out. It seems to be dependent on which hidden docks were shown last. For example: if I show all three hidden docks and then hide them and then highlight the clock or signal gauge and then tap below the clock to HIDE docks... all three hidden docks reappear and then animate out.

Anyone else seeing this?

This is a MINOR thing and trust me I am fully planning on HAPPILY living with it. I have been showing it off to so many people, especially two coworkers with Palm Pre and iPhone... the loved it as well.

Thank you again. You made my holiday Zach.

KillerTruffle Dec 23, 2009 at 6:55 pm

I did notice that on my Storm2 9550 as well.

The other thing I noticed is that when tapping on the Clock, the selection overlay is semi-transparent. However, tapping on the signal meter for Manage Connections creates a fully opaque overlay. Seems inconsistent.

chillaxin Dec 22, 2009 at 2:21 am

I looooooooooove this theme! Zman, you have done it!
I love a cool Christmas theme. I've been trying to find one to use, and you hit it perfectly!!

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND UNIQUE DESIGN!!

mainman1303 Dec 22, 2009 at 6:12 am

Love this theme! Been running it on my storm2 for about 12 hours now and runs great! thanks for the free theme!

airrage Dec 22, 2009 at 6:39 am

Well this is a first. Installed this through my email link and its nowhere to be found and also through Desktop manager says not compatible. and yes i got the Tour version

airrage Dec 22, 2009 at 7:16 am

This is Definitely NOT working on my TOUR.

Sammy78 Dec 22, 2009 at 6:57 am

Love it! looks great on the Storm 2
thanks

scuebydue Dec 22, 2009 at 8:01 am

Works great on my Tour. My only question is on the phone screen. The contact name and number is cut in half. I've changed my font and size to smallest available, but doesn't help? Assuming this can't be changed?

ianharrison129 Dec 22, 2009 at 8:37 am

nice post i like it keep posting dude... ca workers comp insurance

tedacura1 Dec 22, 2009 at 8:42 am

This theme rocks on my BOLD 9700 thanks for the Christmas Gift...Happy Holidays.

jhilla Dec 22, 2009 at 8:43 am

Slick theme!

valorian Dec 22, 2009 at 9:17 am

Very Nice theme. I lost 2.5mb of app memory after installing this. Otherwise this is a very nice theme. Thanks for making it free.

shelland Dec 22, 2009 at 9:41 am

When I took my Storm (1) off the charger this morning, the clock was no longer in the middle of the screen - it was just normal text at the top of the screen.

I couldn't figure out how to change it, so I changed to another theme then back to this one. Now the clock is now back to the center of the screen. Was there something I [addidentally] did to change it, and is there an easier way to change it back?

vinndy Dec 22, 2009 at 9:43 am

and that theme looks sweet...

dmoss1285#cb Dec 22, 2009 at 9:56 am

This theme looks beautiful on my Tour. Thank you so much for making it free!

doublee Dec 22, 2009 at 10:07 am

Using a Storm 2 and with a black background, this absolutely rocks!

bikermty Dec 22, 2009 at 10:33 am

Excellent theme, thanks.

airrage Dec 22, 2009 at 10:50 am

Try to load this on my Tour and says: This application is not compatible with your device and cannot be loaded!
This is the only Theme i have had a problem with.

Wolfroid Dec 22, 2009 at 11:06 am

Downloading now!!!

........
It looks amazing on ma` bold 9000...thank so much!!
Icons are very refreshing and good looking..

Wolfroid Dec 22, 2009 at 11:11 am

THANKS AS ALWAYS KEVIN!!!!

wendybeee Dec 22, 2009 at 11:18 am

Awesome looking theme BUT can not get the 8900 Curve 4.6OS to download using DM or OTA.....need a quick fix because i'm a CB theme junkie :)

DarshOne Dec 22, 2009 at 11:19 am

this is seriously the smoothest theme i have ever run on my tour, the transitions are ill! so much faster than bedroid!

seashell93 Dec 22, 2009 at 11:38 am

Cannot wait for this theme!! Hope its just as cool as the one for all the other BB's!!

hermy65 Dec 22, 2009 at 11:55 am

Im running 5.0.0.230 on my tour and I cant get this to load with the AppLoader or when I try it OTA i get a error 500 internal server error and a 400 bad request.

Any ideas or suggestions?? I really want to use this!!

dillacom Dec 22, 2009 at 1:02 pm

are you on BES? I am having the same issue and have tried everything and I still get the error..,...

hermy65 Dec 22, 2009 at 3:14 pm

yes i am on BES

tfrankson Dec 22, 2009 at 11:45 am

Thanks

wlhnlh#cb Dec 22, 2009 at 12:10 pm

Very nice theme, but one question..... I like the stock wallpaper, however every time I tell BerryWeather to show the weather icon on the home screen it goes to a black background and the default wallpaper disappears. I can reset the wallpaper, but then I loose the BerryWeather icon. It looks like I need to know where the wallpaper image is stored to tell BerryWeather to use that background. Any ideas??? Hope that was not too confusing. Happy Holidays!!

stoxx Dec 22, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Very nice theme!! Probably the best one I have downloaded. Thanks to all!!!

jnaught Dec 22, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Really great job - my new default theme!

mattkirschner Dec 22, 2009 at 3:40 pm

When I went to change back to the regular theme, the menu colors stay orange. I dig the orange for this theme, but not for all my others! How can I fix this bug?

EDIT: A simple battery pull will do the trick, apparently. God bless QuickPull...

jgirolamo Dec 22, 2009 at 3:14 pm

I have Meterberry installed and it was going down real fast once I started using this theme. Too bad, it looks real nice!!

pbrizzy Dec 22, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Thanks for the free app. This looks great with my carbon fiber wallpaper on my 9530. Only thing I wish I could figure out is how to make changes to the icons I want on the left dock. Other than that, it is perfect for my taste.

AndroidX85 Dec 22, 2009 at 4:37 pm

Can you get this theme free with out the Crackberry logo's on the battery icon and as the main background on the icons screen. Love Crackberry to death but want this theme without the logo's. Has anybody figured this out?

carolina gamecock Dec 22, 2009 at 4:48 pm

This theme was working great till I was listening to pandora and got a google talk message. After that it froze up and got major lag. Did a reset and it still bogged down.

Marredding Dec 22, 2009 at 6:04 pm

I love this theme. Thanks alot

wrxnfx#cb Dec 22, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Very nice! Great looking & working "FREE" theme. The only thing that I would like to make it perfect is if the clock and battery/signal meters could be moved so you could use your own pics as a nice background.

bold-parrot Dec 22, 2009 at 7:05 pm

I'm going to download this as soon as I get a free moment...Looks to be a real keeper...Thanks so much!

janggu Dec 22, 2009 at 8:47 pm

First of all, thank you very much for such an excellent theme. I love it!!!!!! It works great on Curve 8900.

I was wondering if it is possible to customize the top 5 icons in the middle. I would like replace the default ones with something else.

embooth Dec 22, 2009 at 8:59 pm

I love this theme, thank you

ricky-str Dec 22, 2009 at 10:59 pm

Will this work for 8830???

malchik Dec 23, 2009 at 2:52 am

Excellent Theme...very well done..is there a way to change the apps in the side bars? Would be great to customize them.

2t4u2nv Dec 23, 2009 at 4:25 am

Really need to feel d swag of my curve with stunning themes..dats gonna make pple wana av it

nuttie Dec 23, 2009 at 8:27 am

this is the best! thanks so much..so much talent and creative genius. i have it on my bold 9000

shawndolph Dec 23, 2009 at 11:24 am

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but PLEASE get those of us with 4.5 OS in the game here. Thak you.

trinamorgan88#cb Dec 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm

Agreed. The 8330 is one of the best selling cell phones in the world. But a lot of people forget we exist.
Some of us without computers don't have OS 5.0 either. Don't forget us.
Maybe when I get my 9650 I can get this theme.

Smuuth Dec 23, 2009 at 4:51 pm

I like the theme, but was it really necessary to make the main icon screen wallpaper the giant CB logo?

cheila13cya Dec 23, 2009 at 4:48 pm

downloaded it ota and have looked everywhere for it and cant find it.
Did a bat pull...still nothing.
even tried downloading again and it told me it already existed.
Can anybody help please?

pbrizzy Dec 24, 2009 at 12:10 pm

If you go to your Options menu and go into your theme folder, it will be in there along with your other themes if you have others. Hopefully it is in there.

mergeman Dec 23, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Love the theme, great icon etc, but what a memory leak. I've had to reset every hour to keep working with my storm.

AJL30 Dec 23, 2009 at 8:21 pm

I installed the theme. It is causing my storm to work inconsistantly. Locking, etc. I tried deleting it but the delete button will not highlight and thus won't delete. Any suggestions?

germann1 Dec 24, 2009 at 10:43 am

Have you tried deleting it from the Applications page in the Options area? Or maybe delete it through the Desktop software. Those should work.

AJL30 Dec 24, 2009 at 11:26 pm

I deleted it from the desktop software. Tx.

germann1 Dec 24, 2009 at 10:40 am

Downloaded it Tuesday morning. It is the first holiday theme that is free, works with my Storm 9530 without lagging it and does not conflict with the OS 5.0. No white side bars when I turn the phone sideways. I've tried 5 different themes with no luck until this theme. Thank you Zach @ Z Man. This theme rocks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hamp Dec 24, 2009 at 12:06 pm

Anyone else with a Bold 9700 having problems downloading this?

Quiet_Before_The_Storm Dec 24, 2009 at 12:06 pm

The only thing that really associates this theme with Christmas is the snowfall wallpaper. LOL. I happen to love that wallpaper though but I have already tried other wallpapers that look great also. I'm using this on my Storm 2 and this theme is just great. Definitely something you can use all year round. My only wish would be some sort of Today version, if possible. Great job.

The Me Dec 24, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Oh, seriously. No 8330 love?
I need a new theme!!! Please! I beg you!

dezidez87 Dec 24, 2009 at 12:35 pm

i want that clock in a nonholiday version. Just larger and on on a regular wallpaper-friendly theme...

AZBryan Dec 24, 2009 at 12:41 pm

This theme is awesome. I love the look and the background can be changed for year round use. I REALLY dig the gauges on the home screen. I do wish they were a little bit bigger. All in all I love it and this will more than likely be my daily theme!

andy957 Dec 24, 2009 at 12:44 pm

I installed this on my Tour, Storm1 and 8900 and it's absolutely gorgeous on all 3.

Thank you and happy holidays to all!

williamhvx Dec 24, 2009 at 1:18 pm

airrage Dec 24, 2009 at 1:28 pm

I would like a pic of this on a Tour cuz i really believe it does not work! No matter what i try this theme will not show up!

dukeslb56 Dec 24, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Works great on my Storm running .419. One of the few themes besides the default that I like. Nice work.

Mike18012 Dec 24, 2009 at 2:09 pm

Merry X-Mas to the entire team at CB..... also thanx to zach for the hook-up.....i am new the bb thing and this is my first theme...wow.

chiefwu Dec 24, 2009 at 3:48 pm

gobears72 Dec 24, 2009 at 4:06 pm

All I want for Christmas is a "Colorberry." Here's hoping!

Scattaman Dec 24, 2009 at 5:44 pm

I so want this phone man!!! Plus I'm Jamaican so how cool would that be?!

casperzshado Dec 24, 2009 at 6:18 pm

i want one

doxa sub750T Dec 24, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Gr8t job! I really like it.

thachamp Dec 24, 2009 at 6:24 pm

this is a great looking theme!

Nicketmaster Dec 24, 2009 at 6:47 pm

Berry Weather clips a little bit with the center icon, but I can deal with that. Looks gorgeous on the Storm2

timothy918 Dec 24, 2009 at 7:12 pm

Cool theme. I'll probably use this after x-mas. Thanks

asoul Dec 24, 2009 at 7:43 pm

Great theme!Appreciate the Holiday spirit!It works excellent!

vshrivas Dec 24, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Running this on Storm with OS 5.0. I have pocketday set on autodisplay. After the screen fades and I wake the phone, the clock in the middle of the homescreen disappears and I get a banner that looks like the stock precision theme. This is an awesome theme but this error really ruins the experience!

trickyazn Dec 24, 2009 at 11:48 pm

any chance for a quicklaunch spacebar option? that would complete the theme!

OverbeyArtsAirbrushing Dec 25, 2009 at 12:07 am

I have paid for themes and paid for themes and an hour later, delete them. This free theme is amazing plus wallpaper friendly. I will be using this theme and holding on to it. To good to be true but it is!!! LOVE IT, Grazie!

JurisDiva Dec 25, 2009 at 12:13 am

I think crackberry.com is awesome!

blueyeitln Dec 25, 2009 at 12:42 am

We downloaded this theme for our 9630 Tour and when SMS/MMS messages came through, we found you cannot get to them. They do not land in the "Messages" grouping. So, there was no way to access them. We ended up having to revert back to the normal theme. Kevin, can you let us know if something needs to be changed or was this missed in development?

Thanks.

sanguine Dec 25, 2009 at 12:45 am

I don't really like complaining about free stuff, especially when someone obviously put a lot of time and hard work into the design,but...what's with the redundancy? I've ended up with duplicate access on home screen (ie 2 calenders 2 messages ect)...is there a way to change the soft icons on left side of screen, or only top and bottom ones? The way I use my phone, it would make it more functional if I could...otherwise a very nice looking theme, better than most that they're charging money for-good job!

Justinva87 Dec 25, 2009 at 1:08 am

I thought this theme was going to be well.....kinda lame, until I applied it on my 9550. I must say, great job! This theme rocks!!!

hamooodo Dec 25, 2009 at 1:26 am

WoooW man much appreciate for you :p .. This theme work just perfect on 9700. Looove it gd job n thx again

mijinkiyo Dec 25, 2009 at 2:33 am

Wonderful theme, thank you so much for it.

jmr7192 Dec 25, 2009 at 2:46 am

This theme rocks on my Storm running 5.0.0.419. Thanks for the gift, this one is a keeper. Haven't found anything I don't like about it yet.

Merry Christmas CrackBerry.

baredude Dec 25, 2009 at 2:57 am

Very nice and clean themem

jkcb Dec 25, 2009 at 3:35 am

This is a great theme. It's clean and attractive, and the transitions are slick.

The only issue I've found is that whenever I receive an SMS, two notification icons appear (two of the same SMS icon, that is). When I go to SMS the red star disappears from one icon but remains on the other.

I'm thinking this may be due to the way the theme implements separate folders for SMS and for MMS as opposed to the usual SMS and MMS together in one application?

MRWOLF6969 Dec 25, 2009 at 4:10 am

These are in the downloads folder for thouse who havent found them yet. This defenitly works for the tour.
Great app thank for the freebe!!

Stevejobsmyidol Dec 25, 2009 at 5:33 am

TWICE, WITH A (ERROR 552). WTH.. -_-

airrage Dec 25, 2009 at 6:20 am

Yea i know it wont even load with my Tour, i want proof it works with it and still nobody can do it

JaeKar99#CB Dec 25, 2009 at 3:04 pm

It worked really well with the 9530 but... if you change the wallpaper - expect a MAJOR memory leak.

mlb31384 Dec 25, 2009 at 3:20 pm

like the theme so far. but i have a few questions. im running the tour with 4.7 os. when i get to the clock screen how do i access the 3 docks? i read somewhere to tap not click how do i do that? also can i change the 3 docks or am i stuck with the cb and idk what the other 2 are? i dont care either way but i would like to access them.

denniscolligan1 Dec 25, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Thanks for a great holiday theme(free) and always making this site informative, fun and unique for it's users

nj_jamaican Dec 25, 2009 at 3:38 pm

I likes, I likes.
This is a very great software and I am rocking it now! deleted others that I loaded because this is it!

willow.moon Dec 25, 2009 at 4:50 pm

I downloaded this theme... absolutely love it! I read that you can use it year round by changing the background though. How do you do this??

Fredstar Dec 26, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Thanks alot crackberry...

msaririan Dec 26, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Love the theme, though being a perfectionist, this small bug *bugs* me. Scroll all the way up and look at the snap shot of the main icon page provided here on the crackberry blog (bottom right picture). Notice the "PM" of the time stamp is missing part of its "M"?

I have a 9700 and have replicated this problem. Anyone else?

Thanks anyway for this fantastic free theme. This will be my week-end theme; definitely need a today theme for work.

nqhuy90 Dec 26, 2009 at 10:00 pm

That's Awesome :O

highdesertrose Dec 26, 2009 at 10:04 pm

Awesome theme! works great on my Tour and doesn't have lag! Great work, Zach!

jabohn Dec 28, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Where is the love?

chopsticks Jan 2, 2010 at 1:34 pm

On my Tour sometimes it would show half of the "M" on either the "am" or "pm" on the clock from the main menu. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

bosephus61 Jan 17, 2010 at 2:41 am

Like it but I want to move the Clock down to the bottom as it covers up any photos I might want to use as a background..

qwiksilver Jan 17, 2010 at 10:14 am

very nice. i love the icons. thanks for the theme

user9 Aug 29, 2010 at 1:36 pm

Nice very nice, the best one of the best i've seen

llmile2 Nov 29, 2010 at 4:40 pm

Anyway to get the HOLIDAY version of this theme? I am a year late, and I was able to download the theme, but its all Blue and Orange.
