You said.... "The shortcut icons are alterable directly, but aren't considered part of a skin".
What does this mean ? How do I load a different Icon for a Shortcut key ?

Basically, you cannot change them or set them up using as part of a theme. What you can do is select the short-cut you wish to change, click more->edit and then choose an alternative shortcut icon. I've created a few 32x32 transparent GIFs as shown in my last post. |

Master resetting did not solve the problem for me...

Ahh. Kind of good to know - save the hassle of setting it all up again, although it doesn't change the fact that the themes are still not downloadable. |

well i downloaded the black theme. How i did it was first open the wap site in ur phone and download the file called dd or something
Save this file and open it on ur pc with notepad.In the notepad u will be able to see a link which goes like www.sonyericsson.com/fd/o3/black_m600.utz or something
now paste this is ur phones browser and download it. Its a 230 kb file i know its a tedious process but thats the only way to download the theme called black.But trust me its worth all the trouble |

On the main screen, use the jog gial to select one othe icrons on the bottom of the screen, click more --> replace and choose the image you want to use. Hope that helps |

I'm disappointed just how little customisation is allowed in a SE Skin. More like colour + wallpaper than a real skin.

You are joking!!! You can change more parts of the skin than you could shake a stick at. Every control (buttons, radios check boxes, scroll bars) can be changed. The selection highlights, the title bars, the return button at the top of the top. Unfortunately there is a slight problem with SE's theme editor, in that it doesn't provide access to some of the things you can change - but you can round that if you want to.
Most of the skins I've seen so far do unfortunately only change pretty much the colours and the wallpapers. Mainly because that's quick and easy. It'd take some time to do a full theme. |

Ah, I didn't know that. In my defence, if SE's own editor doesn't fully work yet then you can hardly blame me for not spotting the full extent of what's skinable. |

lol. That's fair enough. Although the editor is pretty comprehenisve. There are only a few bits that you can't change directly.

I assume you mean the return button. And sod's law says that as a follow on from my previous comments, it's one of the ones that you can't get to normally.
I'm typing this from a different computer, so I can't verify, but this should work.
- Firstly, the image is 2 images side by side. The one on the left is the normal image, and the right is the image when the button is pressed
- When you've created your theme, unzip the utz file, maintaining the directory structure
- Add your bitmap to the location of all the other bitmaps (Graphics I think)
- Open the theme.xml file in the top directory, and search for a section Code:
| <skin id="TitleBar"> |
|
- Just before the closing of this section, add something along the lines of
Code:
| <patch id="TitleBackButton" file="AppTitleBack.png">
<drawProperties drawMode="Stretch" leftMargin="6" rightMargin="6" topMargin="6" bottomMargin="6"/>
</patch> |
|
- Rezip all the files into a new utz
The easiest way to understand this is to unzip one of the SE themes and look around.
I really hope SE kick their editor into shape, or someone else creates one.
