We are now officially OPENED!
There is no doubt about it, Mark and I have been working our tails off to give you a website that is easy to navigate, easy to read, easy to follow, and of course easy to download icon sets! I have tested this website every day on all of the popular internet browsers and it feels and looks exactly how I would want it to.
Big Thanks
A huge thank you goes out to Simple:Press. With all of their hard work and great guidance, I was able to create a forum that I really like. If you have a WordPress website/blog and are in need of a forum, make sure to visit them, download their plugin and donate! They work very hard to please everyone.
Another huge thanks goes to Kriesi. Although I have the knowledge of creating WordPress themes – I wanted something fresh, clean, user friendly, and something with a lot of options. The website you are looking at right now came from a WordPress theme called Twicet. This theme has been edited and tweaked by Matt Ginsberg (me) to fit the needs of the Lab.
Yet another huge thanks goes to Mark (BigPapa). Without your hard work and dedication to Blackberry Theme Lab – we would not have the awesome icons we do now! We will also not have the awesome icons that are soon to be released!!! ;).
And finally, a super huge thank you to my friends, my family, my amazing wife, and the two best doggies a daddy could ask for. Without their love, support, and playful barks – Blackberry Theme Lab would not exist. I love you all!
Wipe those tears!! Let the party begin!!!
What's Coming?
Oh – man! We have great things in store for each one of our members! We are going to try and do give-a-ways each month. Our sponsors , and a few friends, will be donating a couple things to us (read on!) so we can make this give-a-way possible. Keep in mind, if you register to Blackberry Theme Lab you can ask us questions and download our icons for free!! We do not charge you to download our icons unless you use them in themes you sell. Please read our terms and conditions.
Mark (BigPapa) is working on a new icon set to share with everyone. I have been super busy with loading Blackberry Theme Lab with content I have not had the chance to create some icons for all of you.
Let's get more specific – shall we?
- Battery meters with percent
- Percent meter (battery without the icon)
- More wifi/signal meters
- Crosshair hover overs
- Photoshop tutorials
- …and more!!!
Our First Give-a-way
