*UPDATE* A few more BattEx Skins…

August 10th, 2010

I’ve had some of these on my computer for a while & haven’t shared, sorry! I’ll post previews of what they look like and to make it easier I’m just going to add them all to 1 zip. You can download it & delete whichever skin folders you don’t want.

A super awesome friend of mine, Exene, sent me her skin (which is included in the zip) called Panst, he’s so cute!

And here are mine–
The preview’s that have 2 different colored images just mean that it’ll change when charging.

**UPDATE**

I received a few more skins to share, will post previews and a zip for DL below.

Also, in my previous BattEx post, Sara, sent in some very cute skins…I had some people asking if she had a blog because they really liked her stuff. I sent her an email & she doesn’t have one, BUT she did say…. she’d be more than happy to make anyone personalized skins just email her the image. Her email is: 4arakim@gmail.com & she is really sweet!!! Thanks Sara!!! :]

From Megan:

Some of these do change while charging/discharging, just check the images.

FREE ‘Flower Power’ Theme.

August 9th, 2010

I made a similar version for my theme club & thought everyone would like a FREE ve rsion!It is only a zen version…I didn’t think Hidden Today would look to well & for now it’s only available for 9700, 96XX & 8900 on OS 5. If you find that your not on an icon on the home screen just scroll up & it’ll be focused on one.

NOTE:
This theme has a SVG that makes the icons, flower and butterfly appear & disappear by pressing a button. Z makes the icons appear and the 0 (zero) button hides them. W makes the flower & butterfly appear and E hides them. In order for this to work properly you’ll need to press the green phone button, as if you’re calling someone, menu, options, general options, look for “Dial From Home Screen” & select no. Save and that’s it!

Comments are always appreciated! Enjoy! :]

Rosy Cheeks is now available for anyone to purchase! I will also be including a *bonus* theme with the purchase of this theme. (the *bonus* theme comes in a Hidden Today version) The dock that the icons are on is capable of being hidden, just in case your a fan of no-icon home screens. If you’re still running OS 4.6 on your 9000, but you would like to purchase this theme, leave me a note in the notes section or email me. Thanks! :]

The HK bows change different colors as your battery charges/discharges, that’s why the preview looks like that. :]
Enjoy!
 

BatteryEx — How to install & create your own skins.

July 28th, 2010

If you notice in my screenie there is a little Hello Kitty holding an apple. (It’s tiny, I know.) Anyways, I’ve noticed a lot of people on twitter asking what are those & how do I get one? So I figured I’d share my knowledge and give you instructions on how to create & load your own.

You can DL the FREE version of BatteryEx here. After it’s DL’ed and you mess around with it, you can start creating your own skins.

I think the hardest thing about creating the skins is just re-sizing. The rest is pretty simple.

The way I do mine is–

I find or make whatever image I want to turn into a skin and I re-size it to 64×64 pixels. When I’m happy with the look and size, I “save as” (.png format) and browse to my “BattEx Template” folder (I’ll upload my folder, so you can DL and use). I save and replace “Preview”. Then I save as again, browse to my folder and replace “charging_000″. I keep on doing this until all the 64×64 images are replaced, just an FYI all 64×64 images, end with 0 except for Preview.

Hopefully, I haven’t lost ya. Next, I change the image size to 22×22 pixels. (these are gonna be the small ones in the notification area). I  “Save As” (.png format) browse to my folder and replace the ones ending with a “i” For example, “charging_000i” And I keep saving and replacing until all of them are done.

When everything is re-named & sized, I rename the folder to whatever the theme of the battery is.

To load the skin on your Blackberry, you’ll have to use your computer, Desktop Manager and of course your USB cord. After your BlackBerry is connected & Desktop Manager is open, go to media then launch media manager. I click the split view and the memory card on your BB shows at the bottom. Find BlackBerry/m4dev/skins/BatteryEx then just drag the folder of the skin you made or DL’ed, let it transfer then unplug your BB. Go to the BatteryEx app and scroll to skins and select the one you loaded or made! :D

Click here to DL the BatteryEx Template folder.

I’m going to be uploading any skins I make. If you’d like yours uploaded and available for others to download, email them to me (ashabees@gmail.com) & I’ll post them as well.

A new post is in order….85XX theme info

May 7th, 2010

I’ve been MIA from theme’ing for forever it seems. I no longer have my laptop because I had to send it off to get repaired, which is taking ridiculously long! I do have a desktop that I can theme on, but I prefer my lappy..so I’m patiently waiting.

Anyways, I have a few themes that I ported over for the 85XX series. These are ONLY available by donation, since the lovely people who asked for them to be ported over, donated. So, if you’re interested send me an e-mail (ashabees@gmail.com) and I’ll give you more info.

That’s it for now.
Cheers! :]

*Another Update* NEW *FREE* theme

March 10th, 2010

A friend of mine told me about a theme idea that she had. It was basically to have a big bow and have Hello Kitty on it, but to just make the wall underneath where the bow appears, to be user customizable. That way you choose the pattern of the bow. She’s obsessed with Hello Kitty’s bow which is why this theme contains a lot of them! Anyways, I really liked the idea and went for it, so this is what I came up. I only exported this for the 9700 on OS 5 & 8900 on OS 4.6. If you have a 8900 or 9630 running OS 5, I believe you can use the 9700 OTA. Download at your own risk.

There is also a little surprise! After downloading, plug your phone in so it’ll charge and check the battery out on the HOMESCREEN. Leave a comment and let me know what you think! :]

Also, feel free to send me (ashabees@gmail.com) the walls you use with the theme. I’ve already found a few favorites that I’ll be posting soon!
