I'm a theme junkie and have really been hoping for something different to become available for my Bold 9930 besides the different color schemes and ditching the extra menus.
The other day my Twitter account quite literally blew up with tweets over a new theme. Intrigued by that much traffic, I decided to take a look. This is one amazing theme that definitely deserves some CrackBerry attention. Not only does it have the smaller banner at the top to optimize wallpaper (my other vice) space but this banner is ANIMATED! In the new MINI_Banner_LIVE theme by drkapprenticeDESIGNS and Lucky45 you get the coolest theme ever with scrolling BlackBerry B's to the glowing red banner notifying you of any missed calls or new emails. Continue reading after the break for features and screenshots of this fun theme.
Features:
- Scrolling Animated Banner Banner glows red on new email & missed call notifications
- Mini Banner for wallpaper lovers
- PlayBook OS 2.0 style icons and meters
- Skinned Media player
Watch the video above to see the theme in action or click the link below to see what our faithful CrackBerry forum members are saying about this innovative theme. Great job on this one and I can't wait to see what this dynamic duo comes up with next!

Man it kills. Your battery life though even with the Bold holster. If you take it our for prolonged use and/or combine with bridge doesn't last long.
Luckily I got a car charger, any sign or a non animated one though?
Downloading...
Looks nice.
Thx
Holy cow. I've downloaded many themes before but never liked them over the default theme. But this one...WELL ITS JUST THE BEE'S KNEES!

I have never liked a theme, much less was crazy about a theme until now! I had to post how impressed and happy I am with it. A must have, especially for PlayBook owners!
my ears hurt now, aaaaaAAAnnnd
Wow, awesome theme. Vibrant, bright, I love it. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Downloaded can't find it though!
Great theme. It's real awesome. love the slim banner, and the message indicator.
Not sure why... and I have had this problem with several OS7 themes... but "the weather network" app does not work with this theme installed. "uncaught exception: No application instance."
Maybe someone can look into it, figure out what the conflct is between this app and 3rd party themes. Caution the app developer from Weather Network (or theme devs) and ask for a minor update for a fix
This is by FAR my favourite theme ever for the Bold 9900!
I just loaded this and it's killer cool! I was for sure going to pay for this one as the demo of it looked so great. FINALLY a new theme to enjoy and the animation is perfect! Not too much...not too little. Awesome awesome job to the Dev's. :) I dig this so much. Now just release a version for my wife's 9810!?? She's jelous. lol
I love this theme and it makes my phone look like my playbook! Awesome setup and best app/theme to date!! Great job guys!! You have my vote for theme of the year award!! Thank You soo much for making it FREE!! Great review Kerri!! Thanks for bringing to our attention!
If you like this free app, im sure you should try the FREE app called " 3D screensaver " by MMMOOO.. a spinning cube and options to change pictures... go try it, highly recomend it. works perfect on my bold 9930.
well it's great looking for sure but it slows down the UI experience slightly and the app weathereye don't work on it. Bummer.
I just downloaded this FREE theme and to me this by far the best theme out there! Finally!! We Blackberry owners get to have an animated theme just like all those darn Android users. This is awesome!!
uncaught exception index 1>=1
since i install this awesome theme i get this msg every time i restart my phone?
is this a bad thing?
also does anybody else have get this?
I do....deleted for now,to bad nice looking theme.
Looks & works great, great job!
THIS IS SUPER AWESOME, WOW BBs ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EVERYDAY... IT MAY NOT BE NEW TO "SAMSUNG DEVICES". BUT BLACKBERRIES ARE MORE DURABLE AND HIGH QUALITY THAN HTC AND SAMSUNG. NO DISRESPECT. I HAD HTC EVO, AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2. THEN TOTALLY SWITCH TO BOLD 9930. SIMPLY BEC. OF ITS COMPACT DESIGN, SLEEK, SEXY, PROFESSIONAL LOOK, AND OF COURSE CHICK MAGNET... HAHAHA.. THANKS FOR THIS FREE APP. CAN'T WAIT FOR BB10..
Wicked theme, love how the top banner lights up red! Would love colors for bbm's too.
This theme is awesome............works seamlessly! I would pay for this one.
great theme. I love that it allows to show more rows of apps on the home screen...
I am not one who has EVER liked themes (call me old school), because i just haven't found them to work as well as the OEM. But in this case.... DUDE THIS TOTALLY ROCKS. Thank you so much... finally a theme I can use daily.
I'm the same way ;)
My favorite part is the Green Signal bars. And of course the moving banner. I like the icons too. I like it all except how do i turn the notifications off. I get an email like every 3 seconds and dont want my banner red all the time.
this is the 3rd update to this mini banner theme by these guys,and as usual it does not disappoint!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVIN IT!
I've been searching for months for a theme i like for my 9900. and I have finally found it. Such an amazing theme. And the fact that its free is just icing on the cake. Love it
Could you PLEASE send me the link to download the "mini banner live" theme for my BB 9930 Bold, I'd really appreciate it.
Cool theme. Just one question: what's the little icon next to the battery meter on the upper left side? On my BB it has it with a red "x" next to it.
I'll be glad to have this! THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPERS!!!!
its amazing, everyone should get it \O/
:( they broke the Torch 9810 version of this theme.
Great Theme, just installed it and already loving it. Only remark: too bad the red glow doesn't show up with text messages and BBM ...
Anyone else having problems with whatsapp on this theme? first the red flower like notification wouldnt go away on my icon, so i did a battery pull hoping it will fix it, but after i restarted my phone the whatsapp icon is gone, and now i am left with a box with a question mark in it......
Hmmm, not getting the red glow with notifications. Using BeBuzz. Could that be the problem?
Booooo
Never mind. I found the answer in the Theme's thread. Texts and emails will only work if you have them integrated with the main messages folder. I don't and never have. And probably never will. However, really cool theme!
Oh that funny... I was going to post in their thread (how has this not gotten top billing yet) but i fell asleep. Wonderful theme! And no noticeable battery drain.
Sometimes i stare at my screen now. *blush*
Best ever. No other words to describe this amazing theme. Thx to drkapprentice and lucky 45.
Best theme i've ever had on my phone !!! and it was free... niceeeee !
way to go dc....your themes are awesome as always :) !!!
9850 here- and I would PAY for a neat theme! Just saying................
Of Course !!! drkapprentice and lucky 45 are BRILLIANT !!! RIM needs to open their eyes !!!
Lucky4 is back? Awesome!
This theme is cool! This is the first theme I installed on my 9900. Thanks!
Could you PLEASE send me the link to download the "mini banner live" theme for my BB 9330 Bold, I'd really appreciate it.
I have been running it for a couple of days on my 9930. Very nice indeed! I would highly recommend this theme as well. Thanks drkapprenticeDESIGNS and Lucky45!!
Could you PLEASE send me the link to download the "mini banner live" theme for my BB 9930 Bold, I'd really appreciate it.
They know if they will be available for 9360. Please.
currently downloading...
This is one of the best themes I have seen on BlackBerry ever.
Great theme. The only bug I've found is that is messes up my Youmail. The icon turns into a rectangle with a ? in it and renders it unusable. Hopefully an update will follow.
Ehemmmm.... Where is my torch love??? I love the creators themes.
Was released for 9810 yesterday night.
is there a different way to download it other than mobihand? any plans for App World?
amazing theme just downloaded it on my 9900, very awesome!

I just installed it and the only word i can think of to describe it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..
Superb theme
Also, love the playbook style icons
Just downloaded the theme very nice compliment to my bold.
Could you PLEASE send me the link to download the "mini banner live" theme for my BB 9930 Bold. Thanks
awesome!!
Love it!!! The best theme I've had so far. I'm surprised it was free! Thanks Crackberry!!
Again, you would think RIM only make two or three phones. No love for the 9850/9860.
Tim
Possibly coming soon ;)
Looks cool! Trying it now, gonna keep an eye on Meterberry though!
FREE?? i was ready to pull out my credit card too..
The other day my Twitter account quite literally blew up....
Looks great! I still like my 9981 theme on my 9900 though
where is that one at?
Porsche Design. When you search in in app world, go to themes, and then select free. Its the only one there
thank you sir!
I've had this a few days now, I am really fussy about themes but this has become my favorite, very original and free, better than some of the premium themes. Thanks to the devs!!!
These guys are great! Been using v1 then v2, and now Live.
Keep up the great work.
Got it and lurrrrving it! Thanks for the recommendation!
It's a very cool theme. I've had it for a few days now - no issues. Love it.
Quite unique and it's free! Nice!
i have it! cool!!
Looks very good...wow!!! Thnx
Nice job guys
NOW Thats COOL!
Got it on my 9900 :)
I'm gonna give it a try
Love it. Got it now. Best theme I've ever used, but I've never found one that I like. This one is great. It's really cool to see some animation on the home screen, and in my opinion it's just the right amount. Not overly distracting and gives the 9930/9900 a little wow factor. This should be the default theme. :)
Boldly sent from my 9930
Hello, I wanted to know if you could PLEASE send me the link to download the "mini banner live" theme. My phone crashed & I lost my theme. I'd really appreciate it, thank you.
