Whenever i try to download the editor it asks me for user name and password and after entering it again show me the same page saying you are not logged in.

is there any direct link to download..?

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..

cya!

Hey..i can't seem to create my own .sis file.. this is the error i got...

MAKING DESCRIPTOR FILE SUCCESS
MAKING SKIN PACKAGE

C:\Program Files\Theme Studio\bin>echo off

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)

REM echo off

I have 2 PCs: One, P IV 3GHz W. XP (Theme Studio works). Two, an old P III 1GHz W. 98 SE (Obviously Theme Studio doesn�t work).

Is there any thing that I can do to make it work in my W.98 SE??? With 98 SE I can not activate any Compatibility 😞

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.

Download it (Series 60 Theme Studio) from http://forum.nokia.com/

To install it under Windows XP, in Windows Explorer, right-click on the installation file and set the compatibility to Windows 2000 and it'll install.
