I like it! Can't immediately see any room for improvement either, but if I think of any suggestions I'll let you know...
What did you use to make it? I use Photshop CS and the PC Theme Creator from SE running on VirtualPC, on my eMac running 10.3.4... |

Photoshop cs and a new app that runs on osx, I'll get the link for you tomorrow. It runs using java but works very well on my 17 powerbook 10.3.4. There is a slightly new vers up now with some minor improvement, one thing i cant do is change the colour for the predictive txt and a couple of other things but all in all im pretty pleased with it

@whentheleveebreaks Thats would be interesting to try out this software for osx. Does it have the templates for the Z1010 or is it straight forward K700? |

I found the Java Theme Creator for Mac OS X. Works well, although the preview font isn't that accurate...
Here's the link: http://myforum.lasyk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=68
You have to be registered on that forum to download the file. |

yeah sure, one thing i must say, because of the way the app works the theme does come in at 260kb (ish), so sorry about that.

Not sure, that did happen to me a couple of times, if this happends to anyone else, i'll replace the downloadable file with a new one. Sorry about that, i gues its because the app im using is still in beta form and has a few bugs. |

Actually a nice theme, currently using it on my phone now. Only thing that needs changing (in my view) is the pop up title. The light colored text with blue border can be a little difficult to read as the background is also white. You'll see what I mean when you writing an sms and you are scrolling through the words, very difficult to read them.
Other than that, a great effort.

Yeah i have notice this slight problem, however the app that im using doesn't enable you to change the colours for this (as far as ive discovered). But I'll take another look and if i can change it i'll post an updated version of this theme.
Cheers for the feedback |

@whentheleveebreaks: Its not the way the app works that makes the theme 260k, it's because all the images are too big (in filesize)!
Here is an optimised version of your theme that I did, which looks exactly the same but is only 39k!
All I did was re-save all your images using the Save for Web feature in Photoshop CS, made some GIFs instead of JPEGs, and saved as high quality.
I also made a slight change to the main background. It no longer shifts vertically when going from the desktop to a menu list.
