Last week Zach the ‘Z’ Man sent me in his latest theme called ‘Pro Gloss‘. I was lucky enough to test this theme for the Bold and the name really suits the theme. First of all, it does have a very professional and clean set-up overall. And secondly, something about it’s sharp photographic images that brings a real ‘glossy’ feel. The top part of the main screen features both ‘messages’ and ‘calendar’ icons for quick and instant access. (Note: On the 8700, the “Calendar” icon was removed and the “Messages” icon was bumped up to make room for an “Applications” icon). As you scroll down, a pop-up box of further, user customizable icons come up for more easy access. Note that on the Bold version, there are (6) icons in this pop-up box, but on the other versions I noticed there were (4) – which is obviously due to Zach accomodating different device screen sizes. Either way, this is a very well-designed them…ideal for those who like themes that are simplistic in style, but not in functionality. I put a sampling of screen shots for the 8100 & 8300 below but for more, you can check out Zach’s theme site link (above) or the purchase link at our store. Pro Gloss costs $6.00 and is available for 81xx, 83xx, 87xx, 88xx (OS 4.5) & 9xxx Blackberry devices at our Berryreview Store.

Thanks for the awesome review Vicky! I’m glad you liked the theme. Hopefully I’ll be able to get it available for 8220 users this week. Thanks again.

I bought it… but I am having trouble with the Application Menu. How do you get it to go away? Aside from that, the incoming call screen seems to be formatted for a smaller phone. I am not currently using it because Im having difficulty. Not completely satisfied.

‘jtsdad’, the application pop up menu goes away when you scroll back up with your trackball. As for the call screen, you may have to contact the theme developer directly. He’s a cool guy. I tested this theme on the Bold and had no issues with the call screen. Not sure what device you are using.

Thanks Vicky. Im using the Curve. Dont get me wrong, it is a stunningly beautiful theme and I wasnt trying to cast aspersions on it. I was just stymied by the menu, and suprised by the call background. Im not upset I paid for it… the developer deserves that much. The hard work put into it is obvious!
