S60v3 vs. S60v5 themes

Hi all,

This is my first post on this forum. I've been reading here a lot over the past days, as I am the proud owner of a Nokia 5800 XM for a week now. Thanks for all the useful information I found here! :icon14:

My question is about themes. I understood that S60v3 theme do not use the full functionality of the 5800. What exactly is not being used by these older themes? Can I still use version 3 themes or is it not recommended? Does the same apply for applications?

And an additional question: can I use one theme, but keep using the icons of another? If so, how do I do this?

Many thanks in advance for your time and effort! 😊

Kind regards, Kees

Hi Roger,

I have no problem finding the themes. Lots for S60v3 and some for S60v5. I just wonder what I miss on my 5800 when I use a version 3 theme. Like: does it support all parts of the interface?

Grtz, Kees
