Berry Holiday 2.0 Theme

* 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!!!!

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

 
 
Posted by fyrfyter Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

This looks Great on the Storm2!

 
 
Posted by Sherv Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Same download as Storm?

 
 
Posted by KillerTruffle Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 781 days ago

Same download.

 
 
Posted by Yandar Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by lraed74 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

Love the orange menus!!

 
 
Posted by kevin5377 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by juju705 Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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!

Looks awesome..Thank you Zman and CB :)

 
 
Posted by username0001 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by frozencloud Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Wait so no 8520 Curve love for this theme?

 
 
Posted by swade86 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by gthoffman Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by ajieep Friday, Dec 25, 2009 780 days ago

yup looking 4 8520 too :)

 
 
Posted by username0001 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

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 :)

 
 
Posted by StorminMama Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Are the meters by the clock always present?

 
 
Posted by KillerTruffle Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 781 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by Oldesalt Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Nice theme for the holidays.

 
 
Posted by lonestar1135 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Thank you for the theme. Merry Christmas everyone

 
 
Posted by davidnyc Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by olivr2 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

8230 love?

 
 
Posted by andy957 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Absolutely beautiful!

 
 
Posted by Iluvbb Monday, Dec 21, 2009 784 days ago

Posted by AgTitan06 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

Posted by jdy Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

Loving it!!!!

 
 
Posted by 1tnvol Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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.

 
 
Posted by MRCLrider Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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??

 
 
Posted by Iluvbb Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by dillacom Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by dillacom Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by disctosser Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by KillerTruffle Wednesday, Dec 23, 2009 781 days ago

OTA installed without a hitch on my 9550.

 
 
Posted by Phantom1911 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by c0rinne Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

No Flipberry support, and I expect nothing less.

Thanks anyway though.

 
 
Posted by Dhamilton623 Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by jkfsr Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

Bummer doesn't work with 8330

 
 
Posted by sharinlea Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by francscrackin Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by Azothyran Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by BigDNY Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

nice theme!!! looks good on the Storm2

 
 
Posted by oglejd Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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

 
 
Posted by rlgwood Monday, Dec 21, 2009 783 days ago

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!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by disctosser Tuesday, Dec 22, 2009 783 days ago

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)
