The CorkBerry Theme!

In honor of CrackBerry.com passing the 200,000 member milestone, we have a special treat for all of our loyal members. Courtesy of Zach and Zman Themes, I'm proud to introduce to you the CorkBerry theme! It's Free, it's Original, and it's AWESOME.

Featuring a corkboard background and sweet-looking shortcuts with thumb tack rollovers, the CorkBerry theme is bright, friendly and easy to use. But the COOLEST part of the CorkBerry theme is the BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR. That's right, the CrackBerry.com logo will tell you how much JUICE is left on your device. Fully charged and you're seeing orange. Running low, and the logo turns grey. PURE AWESOMENESS. You can get download it for free (both OTA and DM install options available) from the CrackBerry.com Free Theme Gallery. Thanks Zach!

i can never download anything from this site, always tells me currupt zip error

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 12:14

For a few people who use Internet Explorer, there's a compatibility error that pops up from time to time when downloading the .zips (depends on a few factors). The files are fine (not corrupt), but IE does something to them while downloading that causes that error. Has to do with our content management system and the way IE treats the url redirects that count download statistics. We are trying to solve this problem - but comes down to IE more than us. Looking into it though.

If you ever experience that, try Firefox or use the Over The Air install option (Email Me this Theme) which will email the download link to your phone.

I love it. It's so cute. Just have to get used to the new designs of the applications.

By: Alexanderius | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 12:42

Hello guys! Thanx for letting us use such a great artwork!
I'm using a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 with OS 4.5 (...18) and it looks pretty nice, it did last, nevertheless, a lot trying to turn the theme I was using. But, furthermore, it did work.
I use to work with zen versions, you know, small icons and so on, so I'd like to use, when available, a zen version one.

Thank you Zach and CB! Love the theme! The font is perfect size as well. i love this place...

By: KEM (not verified) | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 13:20

What font is that? Any way to get that font without downloading the theme?

By: jacosta0612 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 13:56

How freaking adorable! Thanks for the free theme!!! How do I get the font to work inside my SMS and email messages?? It's perfect. Anyway...great work!!

By: kfunston | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 14:35

Where my power is supposed to show it says "off" what does that mean?

By: sillohj2 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 14:47

Always love new themes. Makes me feel as though my Curve is out of the box all over again. You guys did an excellent job.

However, why are some of my smileys aren't showing in messenger? It appears as though its off center.

By: mikehammons | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 15:52

I did an OTA download & install, now my 8700C won't restart. It keeps trying to, but just doesn't go anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This theme killed my 8700C. I just got off the phone with AT&T Customer Support and apparently there's nothing that can be done to restore my phone. Thanks.

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:45

Hey Mike,

You didn't check that you met the minimum OS requirements before installing. There are specific instructions on how to do this on the download page.

You can fix your BlackBerry - follow these instructions.

- How to Fix a Bricked BlackBerry

I sent an email to you with further instructions.

By: mikehammons | Date: Thu, 06/26/2008 - 12:42

Thanks for the fix Kevin. My 8700C is alive and kicking.

By: Baroness110902 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 15:05

Thank you!! Its a perfect theme change for my Curve!

By: SOUJAH345 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 15:35

I see it in my applications list but I cant seem to find it with the rest of my themes, I pulled the battery but nothing shows up. Could it be the os I'm running?

By: rsutton1223 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 15:56

You did it again...using it now and it is incredible on my Curve. Great job!

By: Angi | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:18

I downloaded this can't find it?

By: blundell | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:23

Looks like my Curve has been Sweded!

By: bmcclure937 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:33

Looks awesome!! I will have to get it

Does anyone know if this so happens to support OS 4.5... or if there will be a version for 4.5 in the future?! Thanks!! :)

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:38

The screenshots above were taken on OS4.5.. on my berry..so yup, it works!

By: tnathanwalker | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:51

It is asking for a password but I dont seem to have one. What am i missing?

By: JRSCCivic98 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 16:58

There are bugs with this theme.

1) When going into Options/Advanced/Applications the % bar that scrolls across is cut off a the very bottom of the bar. This same % bar is used for downloads as well... same issues, cut off at the bottom.

2) When composing a message and you hit the SYM button to get the screen that shows symbols, the right hand side of the screen is cut off and you can't see all the characters.

I've seen these issues before with various themes... it's small bugs that can be easily fixed. Other theme makers in the community know well how to fix these problems.

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 17:10

Geez JR...what an eye you have. I never noticed either of those things before. I wouldn't even call them bugs..more so things that just weren't noticed.

I'm sure Zach can get tweak those fixes right up and I can update the versions on the site, but they're pretty darn minor/insignificant for a theme, especially a Free theme.

I nominate you to build the next theme for the CB community when we hit the 300,000 mark! You talk the talk and have the eyes of eagle. Time to see what you got! :)

By: JRSCCivic98 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 21:30

Hey, not complaining about the freeness, but I do know my stuff when it comes time to test.

Sure, I'll throw a theme together for you... right after Plazmic gets off their butts and releases the next builder because the current one blows with limitations and bugs.

I will say this. If anyone of you needs a theme tested, I'll find those pesky little bugs for you. I love testing software and hardware... I always find the things the devs overlooked. ;)

By: jerhunter | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 17:01

ok so i downloaded the cork theme for my pearl, it is on my phone i can see it under the applications, but it wont show up under my themes to choose from

By: starberry | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 17:13

I am not a big fan of the icon screen but this theme is so cute you just don't care! and the battery indicator is sweet i cant wait to use some bat life and watch it drop. thanks guys!!!

By: ecooper11 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 17:29

I wish they made in a zen style, but I love the theme and the price! Jut another reason to love cb :)

By: nycutie | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 17:45

I downloaded it to my curve, and shows up in my application list...but I can't find it. Can someone help me please?

By: pepsijunky | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:07

I have it, I enjoy it but when I change my profile between vibrate, silent, or normal the top row of icons goes away until I open up something else. That is just annoying enough to keep me on the L theme.

By: beletlazar | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:13

i really like it, but i wish it came in Zen and its also kind of annoying how you cant reach the profiles from the top left corner like usual.

By: pmich | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:24

everythings just too big for my liking...wish there was a "shrinking" feature on blackberries..haha

By: besiderself | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:26

Not very elegant, but it's darn cute. I really like the font: very clear yet lots more on a screen. I probably won't keep it long because I like something a little more sophisticated, but there are certainly times when this is gonna fit my mood...like NOW!! LOL!

By: li2327 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 18:53

I really like the theme. I did notice something though.
the notifications icons that show on the top disappear before you actually check your messages or instant messages. It only stays of there for a few seconds then its gone. Does this happen to anyone else? I"m using a Pearl 8120 with 4.5 os.

By: dannnuts | Date: Fri, 11/21/2008 - 01:20

Hey I have the same problem with the message indicator dissapearing before I check the message on the corkberry theme jus wonderin if there's a fix for it

By: cynbad | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 19:24

I love it!!! Just like its my brand new toy again! thx!!

By: nerdyconnie (not verified) | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 19:52

i love how this theme runs so well on OS 4.5 !

By: heilc | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 21:26

Tried to download this theme and my blackberry 8703e is frozen. Error says "data abort reset". Nothing works. Have taken out the battery and I get the same message. I guess I have a great paper weight now.

By: Anonymous (not verified) | Date: Thu, 06/26/2008 - 11:36

this is exactly what happened to my 8700!

By: saechavarry | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 22:36

I just downloaded it, LOVE IT! Looks Great! Thanks!!!!!

By: Kevin Michaluk | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 23:09

just had to say that..again!

By: saichick04 | Date: Wed, 06/25/2008 - 23:21

I sent the theme OTA about 5 mins ago and still haven't gotten it. Should I just be patient? Or is there too many ppl trying to get it at one time?

By: rubenito | Date: Thu, 06/26/2008 - 01:20

downloading... looks like a theme i will enjoy..

thanks
