I like a specific theme, but I'd like to modify it. If possible, how can I do that?
Only some features in a theme, such as font, can be customized in the Options>Screen/Keyboard menu. Wallpaper can also be changed in the Media>Pictures>Menu>Set As Home Screen Image menu. Everything else must remain as the theme builder intended it.

Do you share the original .thm file or any of the theme content?
No, the original .thm file is only available to the original theme developer.

Themes are made using the Plazmic Theme Builder platform as well as Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop.

Are your themes free?
Yes, a majority of our themes are free to download. Only the themes in a red font are PPD (Pay Per Download).

Will a theme work on a different device from the one it was made for?
No, themes will only function properly for the device they were developed for.

I've installed a theme successfully, but it won't show up on my device. What can I do?
If the installed theme does not appear on the themes list on the BlackBerry device, then physically remove and reinsert the battery. Once the device boots, the theme will appear in the theme list. If you're using Blackberry 87xx, 71xx or 72xx, make sure you have theme reader installed first. To download theme reader, click here.
