Blah by Pootermobile

Showing some love for the 9000 this week, I had to put this free theme in the roundup. Crisp and clean, the homescreen is wallpaper friendly in the extreme, with a very minimal banner and a hidden dock. Six user-defined icons reside in the dock, and a hidden today rounds out the homescreen function. A full set of custom icons is included, and ytransitions run throughout the theme. Available for OS 4.6 and 5.0 OTA from the forums thread below.

Curve

Out of the Blue by skippyhdog

I am sorry to say, I tend to neglect my 8530 when it comes to themes, as it's my work BB and I really have no urge to customize it. That said, cruising through the forums the other day, I came across this theme and gave it a whirl. I have to say, I was pretty impressed, and have been runnning it ever since. The clean look of the homescreen is what originally caught my eye, the mini cons and clickable clock along the bottom bar appealed to me. The theme also features a hidden top dock with 10 user-defined icons, and a very nice implementation of the today feature. Scrolling to the extreme right or left will display a dedicated screen for either Messages or Calendar respectively, which I found very useful. Get it today OTA in the forums thread below.

Pearl

Super Mario Brothers Theme by BerryGoodThemes

I can't even begin to count the number of hours wasted playing Super Mario as a kid, and that game will always hold a special place in my heart. This theme takes all the best visual elements of that clasic and puts them on your Pearl's homescreen. Featuring 7 fixed icons plus a weather slot on the homescreen, and a custom color scheme modelled after Mario and Luigi, the attention to detail is impressive. The three mushrooms at the top of the screen connect to Options, Manage Connections, and Profiles, and Mario bounces across the scrren to focus Messages, Calendar, SMS, and Bowser, err Browser. Custom Mario wallpaper has been used on all screens, rounding out the theme nicely. Available for multiple devices in the CB store, for $3.89.
