I haven’t ever kept a theme on my 9900 for more than a few minutes. The stock theme is smooth and simple and I don’t see the need for anything more. Well that has changed thanks to @drkapprentice from MyBBOTA. He has created a free theme using BlackBerry 10 icons that maintains your panels and adds some awesome bonuses. As you can see above, your folders are even transformed into BB10 lookalikes!
You can choose to have an animated scrolling banner (see below on top of the screen) in a few different colors. Or you can turn it off. This is toggled by focusing on the top banner, holding ALT and pressing the numbers 1 through 4.
You can also swap between gray and green battery and coverage meters by focusing on the top banner, holding ALT and pressing I and O. The other customization is the option to have the new message glow. This makes the top banner glow red when you have a new message. This is toggled by focusing on the top banner, holding ALT and pressing # and @.
The calculator and media player get a new look as well.
I am loving the media icons. It almost makes me feel like BlackBerry 10 is already here! Almost.

Thank @drkapprentice for his hard work on twitter! It looks like a 93xx version is in the works as well.
