The only downloadable theme for the 6600 I've seen:

http://ea.mobile.nokia.com/ea/themes (wml page)

And while it is pretty nice, I too would like to see some more themes soon. Hopefully Nokia will release a SDK soon to help people make more themes.

Then again it might be that they are trying to sell the theme-making ability to the operators, and making it something you have to pay extra for. Let's hope not.

Totally cool!

How did you do it?

move the climber.mbm to your pc then use bmconv.exe. this is the app i used. you have to run it in command prompt. there is an available list of commands included. this will parse the mbm file. the mbm file contains 360 bitmaps. im not even half way through editing them. here's what i have so far.

Donaldskie, please, would you mind to make a tutorial for us about using bmconv to modify climber.mbm, step by step?
Two years ago I used bmconv with my old 9210, but today I don�t remember how to use it 😞

1. first of all you have to have the climber theme installed in your phone. i don't know how to modify the built in themes since i cannot find where the .mbm file is stored.
2. When you have the climber theme installed go to the drive you installed it (Drive😊:\System\Skins\ there should be a folder there containing the climber.mbm.
3. transfer the mbm file to your pc. then parse it using the bmconv.exe. sample code is c:/bmconv /u bitmap1.... bitmap360
4. modify the bitmaps you want to be changed then convert it back to mbm. sample code is bmconv bitmap1...bitmap360
5. transfer it back the directory you installed the theme and there you have it your own modified theme.

i hope this helped you out guys.

Well, how do you know the number and names of the bitmaps? I dont know what have I to put after the /u 😕
I put "bmconv /u climber" but nothing happens.. 😞

how do you extract all the files at once
i do
bmconv /u Climber.mbm bitmap.bmp nd it only extracts one at a time
