Hi Kaz.

I might be wrong, but I don't believe that you can rename a theme once it is installed on your phone.

Rename the .sis installation file of the theme whilst it's still on your PC, to the name that you want it to be. Then install it across to your phone. This way it should appear as what you want it to (hopefully!).

Hope this works,
James.

Sad to tell you that I treid this method before but the theme name stayed the same

yea, i also did this but it obviously didnt work, i was wondering if there was a name in the .sis file that has a line for the name that appears on the phone?? Am i wrong?? and does anyone know which part to edit?

Tnx for ur help!

You cant change the name of the theme,changing the name of the .sis file only changes the filename not the theme name.
The theme name is protected as is the images in the .sis file from being edited.
