I couldn't really stand the fact that all stock k800i themes are purple in some way (except for the golden theme, which is golden), so I decided to make my own stock-looking theme. Nothing fancy, just lots of alpha blending and the same circuit background everywhere. Hope you like it! Also looks good with a custom standby wallpaper. If you're wondering why some of the alpha overlays look strange, I had to dither them because the k800i still only has a 262144 colours display (for truecolour you need 16777216 colours) and I got banding with the gradients.

wow....first decent 3rd party theme I've seen, using it right now!

I think you may need to tweak it a bit.. I can't see my operator logo, or the clock when it's set to large.. Looks promising though!!

Must be a branded firmware issue - I have a 100% unbranded phone and I have my clock set to large (I love it =), never seen anything like it on other phones, semitransparent and anti-aliased), and no issues here. Maybe you can open the theme in SE Theme Creator and see if you can remove anything to make it work on branded phones - as for me, I have no branded phones to test with. I'm glad you like it though! Thanks for using =)

my phone isnt branded...came unlocked/unbranded via o2.

I tried to play around in theme creator, couldnt see an option for the clock.. But I didnt look thoroughly. I will do later.

Kick ass theme though! Well done!


EDIT: think I might have found it, it's tied to the operator logo colours

Ooh, you meant the operator *name*. I thought of branding because you said "logo", and operators like to plaster their logos all over the phone when branding. I intentionally made the operator name inconspicuous because I don't really care enough about what network I'm on to want it to be visible at a quick glance. It's readable from up close and that was my personal requirement. As for the clock, I tried to make it a bit "different" by not using white/black but black/white instead. Anyway, the colours are very easy to change in SE Theme Creator, I guess you'll have it figured out within 5 minutes.
