The default home screen of iLike looks quite full. It showcases two rows of classic looking Apple icons and a lower dock as well. The neat thing about iLike is that you are able to choose one or two rows of icons at the top of the screen and keep the lower dock. Remove the upper docks with ESC and bring them back with SPACE. Or remove the upper rows altogether and keep just the lower dock or remove all the docks! You will see screen shots of all the various ways as you continue reading.
The home screen offers several shortcuts as well. In the top banner, we have the notification bar which leads to Messages; the time that leads to the Clock options; Profiles icon which takes you to set Profiles; signal meter which is a shortcut for Manage Connections; and battery which takes you to Options. Couple that with the 17 icons you could possibly place on the home screen and well, that’s efficiency plus!!!
Above the Contacts icon above in my set up, you will see a wrench and two dots. These are your setting controls. The wrench will bring up some customization choices like those below:
From this menu, you are able to tweak your iOS/BBOS home screen the way you would like. If you have other BBT themes ( and I do, believe me!) you know they are all about allowing the user the ability to customize themes the way each individual user likes. Here you can: set the dock color (the little shelf under the icons)and banner color; lock the bottom dock or allow it to slide down out of view; choose 1 or 2 rows of upper icons; choose text under your icons or text-less…just toggle; and set the style of the weather icon, should you use one.
To the right of the center dot, you will click and bring up the Today screen. The Today screen displays Calendar entries and Text messages. Here is a shot of mine without any items populating the screen.
In this screen shot above, the shelf that the icons sit on is black, and so is the upper banner. Here are some more choices:
There are some many ways to set up your home screen, as with all BBT themes; you will have infinite fun expressing your creative side. Find the setup you like and then change it again. Combine iOS and BBOS and beautify your BlackBerry phone. iLike is available for: Bold 9650, 9700, 9780 (OS6.0)
Tour 9630, 8900, Bold 9650, 9700 (OS5.0)
