Raypho’s Case is the latest theme to grace my BlackBerry. It is an elegant and understated theme based on black and white. The theme is characterized by ten different icons which are customizable. The is a 7 icon dock that is hideable and three slots at the top of the screen which can be used as OCD slots if you’d like. The first screen shot is of the default wallpaper and with all the icons ON, so you can see exactly what is available from your home screen.
But the beauty of this theme is NOT the black and white starkness as much as the ability to have the wallpaper shine through and still give you useful information. Look at this shot of my user selected wallpaper of Case by Raypho.
Now that’s an elegant home screen, admit it! Let’s take a tour around the home screen, shall we? Upper left-hand corner there are opportunities for three apps. Show the one nearest the time and date with Alt 1. Show the others with Alt 2. Turn them off with ESC. Then turn on the icon dock with Alt 3. Hide all with ESC. In the upper right-hand corner, there is a signal and battery meter. Upper number is for battery, so add a zero to that number. In my picture above, it would be 70% battery. The number below the mine is signal strength. In my picture 4 bars. Also, the notification bar at the bottom of the screen is wide to accommodate a lot of icons.
In the picture above, The time and date are a stark white against a darker background. By pressing Alt 4 the transparency behind the date and time appear. Alt 5 takes it away. This makes the theme extremely wallpaper friendly. The menus and dialogue boxes are shades of black, gray and white. The contrast in Case makes it easy to read.
Case by Raypho is a wonderfully elegant and versatile theme. It is an instant delight: just add your own wallpaper to the black and white theme and you have an immediate masterpiece.
