themes have an extension .thm
if no file has that extension in the zip file, then there's no theme at all.  |

No, a .thm file is basically a .zip file consisting of the images in the theme and a xml file for the colour codes and other tags. Just rename the .zip to a .thm extension and transfer them to your phone. |

If you rename a .thm file to a .zip file and unzip it, you could actually extract the images for the background and desktop as it is and just use the single images. |

Well. The .thm files is NOT zip files. It's .tar files. Tar is used by many Unix-type operating to merge several files into one. It does not compress the files like zip do. |

Yes, apologies. Laffen is correct that the size is not compressed. Its just possible to "unzip" them, so to speak.

thanx for all of your replays, unfortunately i can't find what's wrong.
maybe because i'm using the IR directly without using any software
to transfer the zip, XML, or the TAR files. for example, i tried to
rename the XML and the ZIP files to .THM but it doesn't seem that
the telephone accepts that. i don't know exactly what to do, so if
someone has an idea of what i'm talking about i would greatly
appreciate it.... thanx again,

I'm using Win 98 and don't use any software for transfer. Just right-click and send to infra-red recepient. Don't unzip the .zip file. Just rename .zip to .thm. In your Windows explorer->tools->folderoptions->view, check the settings to see if the "hide file extensions for known file type is unchecked. |

Get your themes from http://freethemes.freewebpages.org/
They are in the .thm file format |

"This site has exceeded its limit of 3 Gigabytes of transfer for the month. You may buy extra Gigabytes of transfer by logging in to the user menu and choosing "upgrade"."
That's what I get when I tried to visit FreeThemes  |
