If you want to create themes for various BlackBerry device models and you want to use similar background images
and colors on each device, you can create the first theme, then drag the images and colors from the theme into a
catalog. When you create a theme for a different BlackBerry device, you can use the catalog with the images that
you added. You can select an image or color from the catalog and drag it to an image or color on the Inspector to
change the image or color.
The BlackBerry Theme Builder includes the following default catalogs:
• tiled images that stores images along with their border and tiling definitions
• static images
• predefined colors
• sample scaled images for various screen sizes
• sample banner meters, hour glasses, and volume meters
You can create additional catalogs and specify the types of items that you can store in catalogs.
Create a catalog
1. If the Catalog pane is not open, on the Window menu, click Catalog.
2. In the upper-right corner of the Catalog pane, click the Catalog Options button.
3. Click New.
4. In the Catalog Name field, type a unique name for the catalog.
5. Select the check boxes for the items that you want to add to the catalog.
• To permit only colors in the catalog, select the Colors check box.
• To permit only tiled images in the catalog, select the Tiled Images check box
• To permit only static images in the catalog, select the Images check box.
• To permit colors, tiled images, and static images in the catalog, select the All check box.
6. Click OK.
Add items to a catalog
If you try to drag an item to a catalog that does not permit that type of item, the BlackBerry® Theme Builder adds
the item to the appropriate default catalog automatically. For example, if you try to add a color to a catalog that only
permits images, the BlackBerry Theme Builder adds the color to the default color catalog.
Click and drag an item from a folder into the Catalog pane.
Add an image or color from a catalog to a theme
Perform one of the following actions:
• To add an image from a catalog to the theme, drag the image from the Catalog panel to the image you want
to replace on the Quick Edit bar.
• To add a color from a catalog to the theme, drag the color swatch from the Catalog panel to the color you
want to replace on the Quick Edit bar.
