Ben over at Sferical theme designs sent us his newest theme series for Blackberry 9000 devices called, Red Berry. Red Berry comes in two versions; ‘Carbon Today Plus’ and ‘Executive Extra’. Both of these themes run very smoothly. Carbon Today Plus has a side bar of 4 (non-customizable) icons. As you scroll over the ‘messages’ and ‘calendar’ however, in the center box, the corresponding listing/entries from those icons show up. Time and Date information is listed at the bottom but there’s also a hidden bottom dock bar of 5 user-customizable icons that slides up as you scroll your trackball down. It all works out very nicely and clearly Ben thought a lot about how to make this theme perform at full functionality. The second version, Executive Extra has less ‘bells and whistles’ as it is a bit more simplistic in format and style (which personally I like). It features a rich, black leather background image and hidden bottom dock bar of 5 neon red, user-customizable icons that slides up as you move your trackball down. A nice rich, sexy theme that goes perfectly with the Bold. Both themes cost $5.99 but the first 50 Berryreview readers who purchase this theme (via the links below) can get a 20% discount by entering the coupon code BRWREDEXTRA at your time of purchase. Thanks Ben!

I like it, but these themes with dark backgrounds and white letters can be a problem. Most applications expect the opposite and provide very light backgrounds, so the letters disappear. I have that problem with my current Precision Zen theme.
