For the uninitiated, BlackBerry® themes can totally change how your BlackBerry smartphone looks. There are themes that reflect almost every type of subject - your favorite movies, popular television shows, your hometown football teams, popular comic book characters, nature scenes, rock bands - you name it. When you install a unique theme, it can change the appearance of almost everything on your BlackBerry smartphone - the backgrounds, the screens, the home screen, the icons and even the menus can be changed by a theme to stylistically reflect the subject matter of that theme. Themes can include unique animations, ringtones, and all sorts of visual tricks. Having a theme really helps make a BlackBerry smartphone truly your own.
Starting today, we're offering themes in BlackBerry App World™ from theme developers. Some themes are free, some are paid but there's a range of unique themes to suit your tastes and interests. To check out some of the great new themes, visit the BlackBerry App World web catalog via your desktop computer and click on the Theme category on the left hand side, or use the BlackBerry App World application with your BlackBerry smartphone.
