Add a link to the Application list screen
On the Application list screen, you can add up to ten icons that link to specified web pages. Although you can add
up to ten links, the preview area of the canvas displays only the most recent link that you added.
Only BlackBerry® devices that are running BlackBerry® Device Software 4.5 or later support linking to webpages. If
a BlackBerry device user installs a theme that contains links on a device running an earlier version of the BlackBerry
Device Software, the device does not display the link on the Application list screen.
You can customize the icons for the links. Each link has the following two icons associated with it:
• Normal state: This state is displayed when the icon is not selected.
• Focus state: This state is displayed when the icon is selected. This image shows the web link icon in a highlighted,
or in-focus, state, and is always displayed in conjunction with the highlighted underlay image or overlay image.
You can use the same source image for both icons; however, you must still specify an image for each. When you
export the theme, the BlackBerry Theme Builder creates an image file with a unique name for each icon, even if you
use the same source image for both.
1. In the Inspector, click the Application List Screen button.
2. On the Quick Edit bar, in the Application List section, click Web Links.
3. In the Manage Web Links dialog box, click Add Web Link.
4. In the Name field, type a name for the link. This name appears on the Application list screen with Web Link: in
front of the name.
5. In the Address field, type the web address to display in the browser when a user clicks the icon.
6. Click OK.
