Free BlackBerry Today Plus Theme For BlackBerry 8300

Okay I am going to need some help with this theme. I remember seeing it on mobile.blackberry.com a few times since it just showed up earlier this month. I just am not sure which devices the theme is available for since RIM does not tell you outright. I have checked and it worked with an 8300 but I am not sure about the 8100, 8700, or 8800 series devices.

The today plus theme is actually one that people have been asking for since it showed up on certain 8100 series devices. The idea of a today plus theme is that it has both a Today screen and if you scroll right you get a Zen Menu. Pretty cool if I may say so myself.

The theme has a real crappy background so I changed it to something I like better. The only major complaint I had with the theme is that the top bar has white text and the today screen items have gray text which makes choosing a background very difficult. Since a dark one would make the today section hard to read and a light one would make the title bar hard to read.

Otherwise the theme is quite nifty and I am currently using it. The Zen menu bar just shows the top 5 icons in your homescreen so you can change them around. The other thing you will notice is that when you activate the theme it will automatically hide quite a few icons such as you messages icon and profiles icon. You just need to un-hide them by clicking menu>show all. I can’t wait until developers get their hands on a template that will allow them to create themes like this one.

You can pick up the theme for free by going to mobile.blackberry.com from your BlackBerry browser. You then click on the new themes available link under the “What’s Hot” title and accept the agreement. The Today Plus theme will show up in the next page for download.

Please let us know if you find that the theme is compatible with more devices.
