What is it?
First of all, this is just a basic app. It is only a work-in-progress. It helps in modifying the look of the conversations apps (Messagin app)

How do I run it?
VERSION 1.5.1+
INSTALLATION
You can download the app from this post and open it from the device to install it.


IMPORTANT: If you're getting errors relating to 'zenity', then please install zenity from the repos. See http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=956794&postcount=3



What all does it help me do?
This app is an improvement over my previous scripts. It help to install new themes downloaded from here. Also, backup and restore, and help in installing portrait support (not guaranteed for custom themes)


Only installation of themes downloaded from the wiki is supported . I do not guarantee that themes downloaded from other posts may work. If a theme does not work, please drop in a request to get it repacked.


Limitations?
1. Has to be started from Xterm (solved from version 1.5)
2. Has to be run as root (solved from version 1.5)
3. No easy install-and-run process (Solved from version 1.5.1)

Known Problems (v 1.5.2)
1. Portrait mode is not working on all themes

What can be expected in the future?
Option to change our name in SMS window from 'You:' <-----DONE
Support for own avatar
Option to change color schemes <--------------------------------IN PROCESS
.Deb file to easily install scripts <----------------------------------DONE


What can not be expected in the NEAR future?
A better UI, because I dunno anything about QT coding. Anybody who can help me out, I will be grateful.


How can you help me?
*Find bugs. Report it. Help me kill it.
*Make shell scripts for other operations to modify conversations, so that it can be integrated with this app.


SCREENSHOTS








UPDATE V.1.1
I have updated the app to include one more script: to change our own name in the SMS conversation window from 'YOU:' to what ever you want.

UPDATE V.1.5
* mod to change colors in SMS (not feature complete as of 1.5)
