I want to make it clear that I do not consider myself an expert at designing BlackBerry Themes, I am simply offering a visual of how I do things. You may see other tutorials that you prefer or have your own way to do it but I am going to start making more tutorials in the hope that some of you will find them useful.

Thank you for the great tutorial! It explained some things that I couldn’t figure out. However, I’m stuck. I got this to work with an svg file with 1 icon. Beyond that 1, I can’t seem to get it to work. And we all know there can’t be just 1 icon on the home screen!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Kellie
if you could give me more information on what happened I could try to give you direction on what to do differently.
Thanks
i did it a couple of different ways…duplicated the original and placed them where i wanted them and i also did each icon individually. in the first, the icons didn’t show at all…nada. in the second, the icon showed, but no focus icon. it tried several different things, but could never get more than one to work. again, appreciate any help with this!!
oh, and i just realized that when i go to the preview screen, it doesn’t show the focus icon either. i have no clue what i’m screwing up.
the pain is back
ok, think i figured out what’s going on. everything works until i put more than 5 icons. is there something special i need to do for more than that? thanks again for any insight you can provide!!
what device are you doing this for?

If you’re running OS 5.0 then I’m not sure but I do remember having issues with the curve and pearl in composer when trying to use 6 or more icons. There are pretty severe limitations on what you can do with a theme using OS 4.5 or older OS versions.
Nope, just running 4.5. I did figure out (late last night) that I can do what I want in themebuilder, so I’ll just stick with that. Still, the limitations are ridiculous. Thanks so much for the response. It’s greatly appreciated!
