If you’ve been a BlackBerry user for even a short space of time, you’ve likely heard about BlackBerry themes already, but even if you have already heard of them, you might not be fully aware of what they are, how they work, and how you can utilize them. Along with BlackBerry accessories, themes are probably the best way to customize your smartphone

By installing a theme on to your BlackBerry, you can specify precisely the way that almost everything on it is displayed. They work in much the same way as the theme system used on Microsoft Windows - literally one click gives a totally different look and feel.

There are plenty of great themes to choose from too. You can find them by visiting online BlackBerry accessories and applications stores, where you will find hundreds to choose. You’ll be able to find every look and style imaginable. From fun and quirky, to elegant and classy, everyone is catered for. Alternatively, if you’re the creative type, you can also make your own themes.

To create your own theme, you need to use the BlackBerry Theme Studio v5.0, which is free to download, and pretty easy to use. Once you’ve downloaded it, you’ll see that it’s user friendly and self explanatory. It is worth explaining here though about the differences between the two products contained within the suite.

The BlackBerry Composer is the graphic creation and editing part of the suite, and it’s great for helping you craft images, whether they’re static or animated. It has lots of nice graphic design features built into it and is great for creating and adding life to your images without having to buy other software.

BlackBerry Theme Builder is the theme design part of the suite. It lets you set which images get used for each part of the theme - like icons, background graphics and cursors. As well as choosing the images, it’s where you can adjust the fonts, change the position of objects on the screen, and set what, if any, sounds and animations are used, and they when they play.

If you fancy making some extra money for yourself, and there is even the potential to make some seriously big money, then you can sell the themes that you create on BlackBerry accessories and applications stores. These online stores can also be used to get inspiration for creating themes. Browse through the list of top sellers and most sought after themes and you’ll have no shortage of ideas - you could even use them as templates for your own ones.

So, to summarize, having a theme, especially one that you have created yourself, and some cool Blackberry accessories, really helps make a BlackBerry truly your own.
