I think I'll upload a test version to extras-devel soon since the theme is shaping up pretty nicely, any objections? Also does anyone have any idea how to change some of the icons, like the media player ones and the browser ones since I'd like to make the black.

Too bad the theming engine only allows you to change the graphics, not the layout

Perhaps you should ask some of the t.m.o's programmers to implement an app like that?

If my device turns out to be too slaggy, I'll use this one and I'll be more tolerant with it.

Icons are under /usr/share/icons/Theme-Name the icons are in many folder there. If you want custom icons and are using theme maker to make your theme you will need to follow my instructions on breaking the theme maker .deb down and adding the files then making compiling a source package. I'm not saying you don't know how to do this already but if you don't I have a guide on doing it.

Ok, once i get my N900 i will make a LAYERED PSD and rebuild the original Theme, so that anyone can change transparency, colors or everything.

IMHO, PSD really isn't the best format for theme templates. Aside from the fact that Photoshop is expensive software which many people can't afford, vector graphics (particularly SVG) make modifications much easier (e.g. batch color replacement/shape adjustment, infinite scaling). Have you tried Inkscape?

The free development theme for earlier versions of Maemo (Plankton) was made with Inkscape, and Nokia provided the SVG template in the source package. Hopefully they'll do that this time around too, but I think Plankton is no more, and I'm not sure what its replacement is called.

edit: Btw, nice work on the theme joppu!

Actually, inkscape isn't preferred if you want any more advanced shading or effects or anything like that. I'm still working on one theme that'll be 100% svg for easy color replacement:

Heh, I think you mean it's not preferred by you. Inkscape is quite capable when it comes to complex shading. It's been good enough for Nokia in the past (see the Plankton template I mentioned.) I too am working on a two-tone SVG theme (updating the Kobayashi/Tritanium/Meta themes for Maemo 5).

Oh those trekkie ones.

No offence, I personally love Kobayashi, Tritanium and Meta.
