I�ve created my first theme for Sendo X, called "Modry Sendian" Modr�=blue color in Slovak, Sendian=Sendo+Symbian

Theme is based on Silver blu bip v2 and includes new start-up/shut-down animation+sound.

Hope that someone will like it😊

Yes. There seems to be some problems with the web server where this file is hosted and both IE and firefox have reported having finished downloaded the file even though it only had been partially downoaded. After 3 or 4 attempts, firefox managed to download the file completely and i've been able to install it. The file should be 312KB in size.

By the way, thanks a lot to its author. This theme looks great, very slick I especially love the way how the separation between the title bar and the background is invisible. Two things that could be improved though:
- The wallpaper colors: it goes from white to dark blue which makes either black or white text difficult to read on some portions of the screen. Less color contrast would be better.
- The menus don't have that nice 3D effect that can be seen in other themes

I'd say, second best of the new firmware themes after the cherry theme.

I don't know, why there are problems. Try to download with FlashGet (or else download manager), or use www.sendosmartphones.com:-)

I think, its a good idea. Wants someone else this?

I don't know exactly, what you mean. Is it probably because of just two colors in background?

See the screenshots below to see what i mean. The selection bars in the cherries theme have a "3D" effect. Actually i thought that the menu borders also had this effect but i was wrong.

Now i understand, but i have been (is that right? my english is not very good😮) a little inspired by Nokia 6630, that has no such 3D effect😊

Do any of you have a problem downloading this theme from Sendo Smartphones?

I need to know if our version works 😊
