He...he...here is the skn and ini file for XBox. Open it up and you will see what went wrong. There are some bytes(near the beginning) in the .skn file you need to change to associate the skn file and the Folder Name.

Maybe i check those bytes tomorrow.. but i dont see any reason because you just "released" all what we needed 😉

Bye,

Meilow

Any news on when Nokia are going to release a theme editor then....I cant find any official statements on it.

I guess those who dont want to pay can just use the theme created by others and create their own .skn file. By the way only .mbm and .skn file needed in order to get the theme listed. The .ini file if missing will be created once you change the default setting.

But Really Euro 9.00 is not a lot. But if Nokia come out with their own theme maker and FREE then that is what I am looking for. The weakness of puffo version of Theme Editor is that you still have to prepare the image first with image editing software. Too combersome for me.

And here are the rest of the files. CoolIce, Auto, Matrix, Machintosh, and WindowsXP. Enjoy while waiting for the theme editor.

Wow! My skin has been made into a theme 😊

I have not managed to pick up how to make them yet so I'm waiting till I get the editor.

Gonna check it out on the phone now.

What was the price for you?

I wan't to buy it, but the price must be 8,33 EUR + IVA (VAT) = 10 EUR.

But i don't need a CD... 😞 ... when i get the code via e-mail...

I know... but i don't need it... The CD and shippment cost more than the license (without TAX)...

Software .............. 8,33 EUR
CD and delivery .... 8,50 EUR

Although its nice that someone has made the effort to put together an editor for 6600 themes (wtf is nokia playing at?), it seems to me still a clunky way of doing it.

I would be interested if the author has created a template of some kind for the creation of the relevent bitmaps and what graphics packages he uses.

Because I find creating all the BMP's as separate entities hard work, I have started to put together somthing in Macromedia Fireworks that will slice up a larger image into the correct sized images. This (when done) should let me create and overview the whole new theme on one document in Fireworks, as it would look on the screen of the 6600 and export the slices (pre-named following my own conventions) automatically ready for loading into the Theme Editor.

This is about best way I can figure out of tackling this. Does anyone else use a similar method, or are you creating individual BMP's and never get to see the theme until its sent to the phone?

Same to me, and I will NOT pay for sending, since I need only a unlock key. And THAT is what I will pay.
It means that there are still some major errors in the program
because I cannot pay with my Credit Card, even if it says so.
Pitty.
I hoop they will fix it in a vew day's because a Theme Editor
for 10 Euro is notting. Cheap. GiveAway. Nice.
For this I do NOT need a crack ! !
And after some time we can exchange Themes and MBM files
and even many more people will enjoy.

Greetings from Holland.

@Sicjoke: Nokia will release a FREE theme editor soon.

Does someone know if the theme`s made with that theme editor are in .sis format?

Yeah man i know that.....i suspect it will approach the skinning in the same way (by importing BMP's into the MBM file and packaging them up as a SIS). I was asking how people deal with the creation of the images before importing them into an editor.

HI!...

I am just too tired for create themes 😊 ...

So i discover i noce way to make that i want..

I kind a like the DEFAULTS Nokia 6600 Themes...

Theme 2 and 3 are good... and you can change
the palette color for the selected things..

But the most important thing... i don't like the DEFAULT
Nokia Icons... so i used the WindowsXP Theme Icons...

And BINGO!... Default Theme 2 ... Edit and use the ICONS from WinXP Theme ... i put my own Wallpaper.. and i think that i will stay with this nice look till Nokia or anyone Launch a real good Theme Editor... or.. i see it more good themes to combine 😊 ...

By Now.. this is my theme 😊

BTW! the Crystalized Theme Icons work well too with the DEFAULT THEME ... (white Backgrounf for icons)

cya!

😎
