Themes Officially Begin Appearing in BlackBerry App World By Bla1ze | 07 Dec 2009 05:42 |

We've known for quite some time now that themes were to be arriving in BlackBerry App World. The news came actually came along with the announcement of Theme Builder 5.0 at the BlackBerry Developer Conference but was kind of overshadowed by its release. Research In Motion is now ramping up the process and has started letting developers know their offerings have began to be loaded up and are ready to roll. At this time it seems themes have been loaded in no particular order and theme developers are being alerted they need to login and categorize their themes under the most fitting sections. You can expect a full roll out by December 14th, if not sooner. Some themes are already popping up among the different categories. Maybe Research In Motion will put a few in the new test center for us as well. What do you all think? Will themes in BlackBerry App World take off or does it seem like with so many themes out there, it'll just make App World messy? [ Thanks, Alex ]

good idea, but the price of the themes! madness, all because rim wont allow a $0.99 price point
it's ridiculous. other than that, great to see themes getting put up on there FINALLY!
an thats why you can find most of my themes in the cb app store, as most are at $0.99 :)
Yes. they are even more than 3rd party applications. that doesnt sound right.
I agree. The prices are definitely up there. They should make an exception for themes.
I am fairly new to the BB scene and have downloaded and evaluated NUMEROUS themes for my 9700. I deleted EVERY downloaded theme within hours for the same two reasons. 1. They ALL result in performance drag on the OS, SIGNIFICANT performance drag, INTOLERABLE performance drag, and 2. They ALL cause the default system fonts to become so small that they are barely useful. SO my questios are, 1. Why the performance lag with added themes, and 2. Why do themes cripple the font customization option?
if your looking for design and function for your device I suggest CANDi by WJD Designs pick it up at wjddesigns.com
wjddesigns.com keeps freezing my IE browser. For some reason, the view is set to mobile by default even though I'm accessing it from my PC. Whether I try to change the view or click on any links, my browser ends up freezing.
I have the most recent version of app world and I don't have a theme option in categories - what's up with that?
I hope people put some themes on there pretty quick because the ones they have on now are pretty lame
i dont see themes in appworld and i have version .24 ???
there a few free ones that show up in app world..they show up in featured applications, where you have to scroll over to see the next featured app.
the apps r lame
The $1.99 seems like the right price point for themes. RIM neds to wake up and let $.99 be the minuimum.
some themes are as high as $29.99.
i dont see the themes category at all...running version .24
Love this!!!! Add more free ones though!!:)
One free theme per category. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
More FREE....
RIM needs to let the developers choose what price they want to sell their own products for.
doesnt anybody else hate how the themes cant match up with the screen? like how the top of the theme shows the phones wallpaper when using the contacts list or phone app?
it would be sweet if they could let u customize the parts of the theme that you want and use default settings for the rest
Love the idea for the Test Center. Hopefully RIM will listen to us. That would make sense. There is nothing more frustrating than buying a theme that doesnt really work on you device. Looks great til you go to landscapemode, then BAM!!! Game Over. So Sad...
