Updated look and feel
Splashes of color, flattened buttons and screen layouts, and new wallpaper and icons – these are some
of the elements you will notice with the fresh new look of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.
Modernized visual elements help you navigate your BlackBerry device and improve your productivity
within apps. In the apps installed with the BlackBerry 10 OS, the action bar at the bottom of the screen
uses color to highlight the next, or next best action. Icons for key tasks remain visible in the action bar to
help you stay productive and get work done. In some apps, for example Adobe Reader, the action bar
disappears when you scroll, giving you a full-screen view of the content.
On the home screen you can see your open apps, and when you swipe left you can see all your apps.
By default, when no apps are open, the home screen displays only your wallpaper. There is no
restriction on the number of apps you can add to folders on the home screen.

in an email message with a single tap, delete the text of the original email when you reply, and
automatically save a draft version of an email message by leaving the BlackBerry Hub.
The BlackBerry Hub has been updated to improve the relevance of suggested contacts. The BlackBerry

Calendar
The Calendar app now has an agenda view and a Meeting mode feature. The agenda view lets you see
your appointments and tasks for the week. The Meeting mode feature automatically changes the
notification behavior of your BlackBerry device when the device detects that you have a meeting or an
event scheduled in the Calendar app. For example, you can set Meeting mode to automatically turn off
all notifications or notify you for phone calls only when you are in a meeting. When the meeting ends,
your notifications return to your normal settings.
The Calendar app is more closely integrated with the BlackBerry Remember app. You can create a task
