Hi friends,
This is a theme which I’ve developed for this special day.
A clean and white theme. Totally purelab. style.
The name of the theme was inspired by one of the wallpaper competition participant; belle. She submitted a very cute polar bear. Hence, belle will win a free pure.customize pass.
Thank you for all your submission.
I have decided that I will do some customization for all wallpaper competition participants. I will be contacting you via email to help you with a customization. Please have patience, there are a total of 15 of you and only one of me. I aimed to contact you not later than 2 weeks of this post.
Every-body’s a winner 
Free Blackberry Theme: PURE.POLAR
PURE.POLAR
1) fixed icon on main screen
2) Hidden dock (scroll right on main)
3) 6 fixed icons in hidden dock
4) small fonts
5) minimal & fast
6) Forgot to mention; NO hidden TODAY!
PURE.POLAR dock reveal
OTA links (download directly from your Blackberry browser)
Update 01 Sept 09:
a. Resolved the shorted date issue.
b. Smaller message list text
Please click the OTA and download over for it to take effect.
Recommended to do a battery pull after installation even though the theme file size is small.
Feedback and Donations are always welcome.
Hope you like it.
Very cool! Good job! thanks
I love this theme. Only one suggestion, if I could. It’s difficult see which of the 6 fixed icons of hidden dock is selected!
Any chance you could make this theme for the Storm also? I love this theme and I have a feeling lots of other Storm users would also.
Thanks Kara for your interest. I might consider it… but I am currently on a backlog with my free customize prizes winners and also on a new theme. I might squeeze some time to try a hand at storm. No promises yes.
Thanks Teddy! Sorry the 6 smallish icons are difficult for the eyes
I hope the status text when you scrolled over helped.
i said it before and i’ll say it again GREAT JOB ON THE THEMES…too bad i sold my 8900 other wise i would be enjoying the themes you make again keep up the good work
there r times when i wish i cld just shake ur hands n say “wonderful job dude n thank u” hahaha
yes, its cool.my Bold is on pure.polar now n i hv all ur themes on my Bold.i keep on switching btwn them themes. so thank you n keep up the wonderful thing that u do here.
love loving this theme!
really appreciate the time and effort you put in, the simplicity and effectiveness is inspired.
The only point, as above really, is if there was just one way you could make the fixed icons more visible, then this theme would be PERFECT!..
I absolutely love your themes! I have all of them and I am constantly changing between them as my mood changes. another great thing is your themes keep my BB running great. I just wish polar had one of the fixed icon be the sms&msm just because BB messenger is limited and the other is more universal, just a suggestion. I can’t wait to see what you have next
very loyal fan
hi Villavicencio

Thanks P.Kai for your feedback. I will certainly take into my consideration for my next theme. A new theme is coming up in less than 3 days. Keep a look out.
Hi Gina
Posting your compliments is enough for your encouragement and kind words move the spirit of making theme forward. Let’s shake hands in virtual world
Do join pure.ATTITUDE to stand a chance at winning an awesome app… and if you haven’t heard, a new theme soon in less than 3 days.
hi my friend,
your support is appreciated with or without your 8900.
or maybe you can get back a 8900
nevertheless, thanks for the support and hope you enjoyed the purelab. experience
Nice theme, I love it,
Some feedback though:
The space for the date, month and day are not big enough, like today for example
Instead of showing tuesday, september 1 it only shows tuesday, september…
And another thing. Is there anyway to make the format of the day more like asian standart?
Day, date month?
And if possible please do make black version of this theme, prefferably with semi trnasparent status bar and hidden today.
Thank you.
Thank you for the one feedback. I will rectify the date spacing and post an update.
The rest are requests rather.
i tried to download the updated pure.polar for the 9630 and i’m getting an error when clicking on the OTA link. I’ve tried sending it to myself twice now, so I don’t think its a problem on my end, just thought I would pass the info along.
“Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor.
The “MIDlet-Name” attribute is missing.”
Hi Chris,
It should be fine now. I tried downloading with my 8900 as I don’t have the TOUR. Please try again and if still can’t kindly let me know.
Thanks
Hey!
Great looking theme. I was just curious, is it not possible to see Berry Weather with this theme? I would like to see the icon in the dock (assuming you would have to be able to have the dock icons customizable, which I don’t think they are?). That’s really my only issue, I like looking at the weather! Would that be addressed in upcoming themes?
Also, I’m not sure if it was addressed previously or something I was doing wrong, but is “Messages” strictly for e-mail messages? I just can’t see any of my SMS/MMS in there..
Hi, PURE.POLAR icons are not customizable and hence, there is no way to put on a weather slot in it for this theme. As for upcoming themes, it really depends on the look and feel of things then the decision to have a customizable slot which I can’t promise. But the one which I am doing with buttincheek will have customizable slots.
Thanks for your comments.
See if you have messages combined or separate in the options while on the messages screen.
Ah. I see. It kind of still works because I can hold the BB key until the applications pop up then it’s right there. Great theme though, I can hold out and wait and hopefully one fits with a place for a weather icon. Keep up the good work! Really enjoying it.
Thanks for understanding. Mind if I ask what weather app are you using? Also, try entering the contest, you just might win a free pure.customize pass to get the theme you wanted customized for free.

Thanks for the theme. It’s really good.
Just one improve. The selected icon on main screen is not enought different then the no-selected.
I’m using BerryWeather
Amazing…
hi. thanks for this great themes, i love it very much and i already download it for my 8900 javelin, and its look great. bravoo.
anyway, may i post your theme to my site?
thanks in advance.
Hi hanshendrady,
Thanks for your comments. I don’t mind you posting my theme, screenshots, writeup to your site except the OTA links. I appreciate if you can link it to my site/post for the OTAs so that I can monitor the download. Hope you understand.
You got a great site!
Hi Purelab, thanks for your reply and thanks for allowing me to put your theme on my site.
okay I’ll do as what you said, I’ll link back to your site for the OTAs.
best regards, =)
No problem Hans. See you around often
It’s gorgeous! It would be perfect except for the lock screen.
That really caught me by surprise.. I really wish my background would still show instead of a white screen every time I wanted lock my berry!!
Sorry about that bao, I will revisit this theme in time and will take your suggestion into consideration.
Thanks for your comment.
Are u gonna make other themes compatible with OS 5 too?
If so, please make pure.sound for OS 5 especially for Bold running OS 5.
Pure.sound is the best theme I ever saw, too bad it doesn’t running well on OS 5, the media icon on homescreen is missing.
Thanks before.
Already download this themes. Good but in fix icon on home screen does not work at all for music icon. I un install this themes for now
Hi xow,
The media icon problem had been fixed and now launches the music player. Download using the same OTA.
Hi Lexion,
pure.sound will be updated soon. Have to sort out the media problems on that one. Hang on there
Thanks a lot it is great themes. Wait for another 9000 os 5 themes.
any chance of making the icons on the homepage user defined? I love this theme but just can’t make the homepage work for me.
Wow, fantastic work. I really love the small fonts!
I also enjoy how clean and simple this theme is! THANK YOU
You are welcome tiffany
hi Brook196,
The homepage icons are not definable as the icons are different from the app screen. Sorry about it.
Hi xow, You are welcome and glad you like what you see.
why there’s no theme for curve 8520 T^T
When used pure polar on my tour then went back to my regular precision zen theme my sms menu stayed the same as if it was still purepolar. Can you guys help me out, thanks a lot!
Hi dude,
Try doing a battery pull will likely to solve ur problem.
Thanks, I did a soft full reset and nothing happened but a hard full reset fixed it!
Great to hear its all good dude
tks,i love it!
