Change the size of a banner
You can set the banner height to a value between 10 pixels and 120 pixels. If you are creating a theme for a BlackBerry®
device that is running BlackBerry® 6, you can only change the size of the Home screen banner.
1. In the Inspector, click the Banner button.
2. To change the size of the Home screen banner, do the following:
a. On the Toolbar, click Show the Home Screen Banner.
b. On the Quick Edit bar, in the Home Screen Banner section, in the Banner Height field, click the up and
down arrows to specify the height of the banner in pixels.
3. To change the size of the banner that displays on the Application list screen, do the following:
a. On the Toolbar, click Show the Application Banner.
b. On the Quick Edit bar, in the Application Banner section, in the Banner Height field, click the up and down
arrows to specify the height of the banner in pixels.
Add or remove banner items

the size for the AM/PM element only if you specify a TrueType font for the Time element.
