It's Monday again, and time for the weekly theme roundup. This week we have 2 very good looking free themes, as well as a contest for a brand new theme that just hit the store this morning. Hit the jump to read on.

Free Themes of the Week

Non-Touchscreen

Our 1st pick this week is from the forums. DroidSlide features a 16 icon sliding dock, as well as a hidden today area. When scrolling through the icons you will also get a nice bounce animation to the icons. If you are one who doesn't like to leave your BlackBerry's homescreen, then this theme is for you. DroidSlide also comes in a version with a weather slot, and is soon to release a premium version of the theme. Pick it up OTA via the forum link below.

Our next choice is Hope Tree version 2. This is a very good looking theme we found in the forums. It features 4 user defined icons on the top of your homescreen, weather slot, hotspots, and a slider along the bottom that holds 10 more icons. The theme is simple, classy, and will look great with any of your favorite wallpapers. You can pick it up for your 95xx device via the forum link below.
