App Review: BeBlank for BlackBerry Phones; Essential for Themes and a Giveaway Coming Soon!!

When you use as many themes as I do, you get pretty crazy changing wallpapers and BerryWeather icon sets and BatteryEx skins to match your wallpaper; all the while, being mindful of your icons. Whew! It’s a tough job making your Berry beautiful, but BeBlank is here to help! Finally, an app that lets you place icons in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible!

If you have a certain wallpaper and you don’t want your icons to obstruct it, just throw in a blank icon. That’s right! You have the ability with BeBlank by SCrApps. This is a feature that is very much missed in our native OS when arranging wallpaper and icons for maximum vision.

Here’s an example: a theme has a weather or OCD slot in the middle of the upper portion of the screen. The wallpaper you want to use doesn’t look right with the weather or any app there. Well, just install BeBlank. Then you have 6 blank icons to use wherever you’d like. Put a blank icon in place of the OCD slot and no more annoying icon covering your wallpaper!

Here is a screen shot of a theme with the weather slot "blanked".

The screen shot above is of the theme Apres by Xan. It’s a super theme! I decided to try out this app by placing a blank icon in place of the weather slot. The slot is supposed to be right on top of the orange daisy in the photo. I then used the BerryWeather home screen wallpaper ability to place the weather icon on the side where I wanted it.

Here is the app screen with blanks showing from BeBlank.

On my apps screen, you see a break in the line of icons. Those are blanks from BeBlank. The package I have allows 6 blank icons.  On this screen, you see it in the 6th position because that is where the weather icon would normally be on the home screen. I “blanked” it out. Ingenious!

BeBlank comes in a 6, 12 and 24 icon package. Install the app and you see blank icons; much like a placeholders, on your apps screen. Move them around just as you would a regular icon. Place them wherever you need a space  or use them to cover up a slot created by a theme maker that you don’t want to use.

Here’s another example. The next screen shot is from Optique by TDM Design. Another theme I love.  Here’s the default home screen shot.

This is the default home screen for Optique.

Now when I add one of my beloved lighthouse pictures, I need some room at the top so the wallpaper is not obstructed. Add some “blanks” from BeBlank! And voila!

Here's my home screen with blanks in the dock.

This app is very useful for making your theme home screen in the manner you would like. Need some room? Throw in a blank. Another great example of BeBlank in action is below. Here is a dock with BeBlank active.

BeBlank used on a dock of icons to create a space.

This lovely theme is Blitz! by Raypho. Another wonderful theme that I use all the time, just like the ones mentioned before. Here I have a beautiful butterfly wallpaper that I want to show and I don’t want to hide the dock. I want quick access to my important icons. What I did was to place 3 “blanks” from BeBlank onto the dock and there you go! The entire wallpaper can be seen and my quick access icons are there.

This is what my apps screen looks like now:

Here is my apps screen from the theme above using BeBlank.

Notice 3 empty placeholders where you see the gap on the home screen. Just amazing! What a neat app and a great way to customize your Berry even more than some of us already do. Those of you addicted to your wallpaper, BattEx skins and BeWeather icon sets; listen up! This is an app you can’t afford to be without.
