New BlackBerry 9000 Inspired Themes Available - Zen, Today and User / User 2 / Abuser / Abuser 2 Bottom Zen!

New BlackBerry 9000 Inspired Themes

Earlier in the week I posted about JC Designs' latest BlackBerry theme, the Inspired 9000, but at the time it was only available in the Icon format. John has since rounded out the collection for BlackBerry Curve, 8800 and 8700 series users with the theme now available in Today, Zen and User & Abuser formats.

If you missed my original post, you may want to check it out (lots of comments on it)... this new theme was Inspired by the latest round of BlackBerry 9000 images to hit the net. And with the User & Abuser bottom zen dock style now available (which features sweet jumping icons!), I gotta say, I think this theme will satisfy my BlackBerry 9000 fix until the real deal comes along. Because the homescreen shortcuts are fixed on the bottom dock, there are three versions to choose from which mix up the order/offering to hopefully suit your needs - User, User 2, Abuser and Abuser 2. The Abuser 2 is pictured above. The themes are available for $7 from ShopCrackBerry.com and can be downloaded/installed either OTA or via Desktop Manager. When browsing the store, be sure to double check you are downloading the appropriate version for your device.

If you are running an OS on your BlackBerry newer than 4.2.2, when it comes to the bottom dock style themes go for the "User 2" or "Abuser 2".

It seems the BlackBerry Messenger icon may want to not appear visible on the bottom dock with newer OS's, and the BBM icon is currently featured in the User and Abuser homescreen shortcuts. Standard 4.2.2 OS is fine.

I downloaded this theme and love its presentation except I cannot figure out if it is possible to change the icons I would prefer to have on my main screen. If anyone is aware of how to do this please feel free to contact me via email and share. Thanks!

you can't

The icons are fixed, that's why you had the choice between 4 different versions of the theme.

Can someone tell me or post a link to where the differences between the various themes is clearly explained?

Whats the difference between Zen,Today,User,Abuser,etc....

Thanks

The difference between them is the style used for the theme. It comes in ICON, TODAY, ZEN and (Abuser, Abuser2, User & User2) Custom Bottom Zen. Hope this helps!

This theme looks great, but I am currently running the "L" theme and I noticed you don't offer the "L" theme as an option offer the 9000 inspired theme. Can you put that together and offer it? Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing about offering an L Theme. I was also wondering if there would be anyway to have a version where the font in the menus is a little smaller.

Even with those two "requests" I still absolutely love this theme.

Thanks for coming out with these so quick! I'm really looking forward to the pearl versions :)

i recently downloaded the today version for the curve and noticed the SMS and MMS category is not showing. Is there anyway to fix that?

Goto Messages => Options => General Options => SMS & Email Inboxes => Seperate and the SMS Icon should show =)

Cheers,

John

Im still a little confused about which one is which also. Is there a way you can post a link to a pic so I know what I will be buying? Sorry I just dont want to end up spending 30 dollars when I could have spent 7. Thanks a lot.

If you click through on the links, there are screen shots for every single different theme style and version. Just scroll over the thumbnails and you can see the layout of the different themes.

I downloaded the Zen version of the 9000 Inspire. All is OK but how do I access the applications or my other icons? On the home-screen I am getting the icon for the Web, Options, Messages, BBM, Calendar and Contacts. How do I access my other applications e.g Memo, Tasks, Profiles. etc?

 
 
Posted by naviwilliams Tuesday, Apr 08, 2008 1507 days ago

Just press the 'menu' button, and you'll get the other icons for other applications...

I just purchased the Today version last night. I still haven't received via email yet. I got a few emails telling me it would be sent to me and that it was paid for but didn't get a link or anything to download yet.
Did I mess something up or should I just be patient?

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, Apr 08, 2008 1507 days ago

Nope, You should receive your download email immediately if you chose to receive it via OTA (once you make the purchase, there's a "Download" link. from there you can choose either Desktop Manager installation (download zip to your PC and install via USB) or to send an email OTA.

The odds are the OTA email download you requested got caught in your spam filter for some reason. Step 1 - check your junk email and see if it came through. Step 2 - if it didn't come through, send an email to customersupport@mobihand.com (that's the email address for software support bought via our software store) and include your name/email address/order # (if you have that - if not, they should be able to look up off of email alone) and they will resend!

Let me know if you have any problems and I'll be sure to help you get it straightened out.

i was wondering would u be able to make an inspire 9000 today plus theme for the curve? would that be possible, it would be nice if we can see this them in today plus, just wondering, id definitely buy it if theres a way you can make one, thanx

I'd be happy to hand over $7 for a Today Plus theme. I've been using the Today Plus since it's release and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So here's another vote for adding the Today Plus Inspired 9000 theme.

What are the differences between Inspired 9000 Today - 9000 Today - 8800 OS 4.2.2 v1.0 and the new v1.1?

Thank you in advance

Richard

A few issues was fixed with v1.1 on all the Inspired Series, where the signal and other arrows now displays where on version 1.0 the transparent arrows didnt show well. Also the Popup Menu color was changed to allow for color clashing issues in some screens like the verify security menu. Also for those that have an issue with the Today bar being a red line, please email me at john@gadgetbean.com I do have a fix for that as well. I am not sure how many dislike the red bar, if alot of people dislike the red caret bar, please email me and I might just switch out that bar with something else I did for the final version.
