Hey All,

Mines just created a sis no problem.
Read here after downloading it didn't, so only made a small change so far before I tried making a sis, but it's worked for me. Haven't put it to phone yet though.

Am using XP PRO, Intel P4 2.8, 1 gig ram, running program in Win2000 mode as stated.

Gonna keep playing around.

you need to install java VM supplied with this theme editor and then you can get sis file withous problems...

Hey,

My first theme using this editor.

First impressions it's very easy to use and the themes seem to run faster, eg while navigating the pages load and close quicker.

One observation, after each change you make click the save button or else when you go to the next part you lose what you did.

See what you think.

ok SIS file was created..

But you can create SIS file only from NEW Themes..

You can't create SIS from any EDITED Theme...

it's like a copy protection may be..

I'am running a P4 with 2,6 Ghz under XP Home. When I install it comes:

The installter cannot run on your configuration. It will now quit.

Whats the problem ???

09-12-2003, 07:45 PM
Read post number 4 in this thread,..you have to set the program compatibility to win2000,..then it can install program.

Once you've unzipped it,..then rightclick program : click properties, and set to win2000.


Mine still just stands there, doing nothing !!

Hi Aefox,

I noticed when you create the theme there is an option to allow copying or not of the sis file, a security feature to stop others di-assembling what you've made maybe?

Another attached for you to try, Britney re-done :p

Has anyone noticed how much better these themes run as apposed to ones created with the italian one?

At last! The Theme Studio give us the right way to create theme for 6600. It runs fine under Windows XP Home running on Pentium III 1GHz Notebook.

One thing to note here is that you cannot read mbm files directly. It only read Theme package files. All the theme ceated based on Climber or Theme Editor has to be extracted with bmconv.exe manually or using the Theme Editor. Extracting MBM files will be the SOLE purpose of Theme Editor now. You dont even have to buy just use the DEMO to read MBM file and then go to the directory that has the extracted graphics and copy the entire folder. Use the Theme Studio to create a new theme from from scratch based on the graphics extracted. Feel sorry for that Italian guy but he should not thinking of selling it in the first place when the concepts are all wrong(Creating theme based on Climber).

To the author of Theme Editor, I would like to suggest giving it for free. It is not of much used anyway now with the theme studio released for free. Nice try though and I think I should thank you for at least pressured Nokia to release the Theme Studio.

Thank you Nokia

The reason theme editor doesnt create sis files is because on some PCs global environmental variables dont work very well..

The sollution to this is to replace your createskin.bat file (in bin directory) with this (considering u installed into default directory)
