so i downloaded the ophidian theme for my bold and i cant figure out how to change the home screen to show what i want. what do i need to do?

Just downloaded the soundboard theme and I thing it's great, only one problem: I can't figure out how to modify the home screen either. Unlike some other themes where it's based on the order of the entire list, this one appears to have some "predefined" configuration. I would like to replace some of the apps that I don't use as much with those that I use all of the time.

Thanks,
Edward

I do not beleive you can customize the homescreen icons on the soundboard theme.
Just the way the theme was designed.

If the theme allows for customizable wallpapers ...... take the image you want, save it to your bb then go to the pictue (on your bb) and hit the menu button and "apply as home screen"

Pull out the battery for a few seconds and put it back in. The themes should appear in the theme directory.
Provided the theme is for your model and OS.

When your in the icon/apps screen and all the icons are visable, go to the icons you want on the home screen, hit the menu button and select "move icon" and then move it to the top.
The icons you place at the top of that screen will be the icons on the home screen ..... provided you are using a theme that allows for it. Not all themes are designed to give you that option.

What is the problem and how can i change it. Many thanks in advance.

The jad files are for ota downloading only.
If you have a data plan on your bb - brows to the theme you're trying to downoad using your bb and click on the ota link (jad file) and the download will begin. Dont forget to do a battery pull when your done for the theme to show in your theme directory.

If your using desktop manager you must use the alx file.
If you are downloading ota you must use the .jad file
