Customizing the Home screen
7
The Home screen for each available base theme is unique and is the primary difference between the base themes.
You can customize different elements depending on the theme layout that you choose.
BlackBerry® 6 layout types include a Today Home screen that provides a quick view of email messages and phone
calls. If you choose a Zen layout type, the Home screen displays application icons along the bottom of the BlackBerry®
device screen. The Home screen with a Today layout displays notification items such as messages along with a view
of the most recent notifications. With Custom and Custom 6 layout types, you can add both Zen and Today items on
the Home screen. The Home screen for an Icon layout type displays a list of applications only.
