Hey, now I have a Vodafone Live Z600 fone. So, the desktop menu is different to that of a SE Z600. So, my problem is that how, or can I, remove the desktop icon shadows that are for the non-VL desktops? I'm talking about say the shadow of the spanner that is not present on VL desktops! In that theme creation guide it says how to attach these Icon shadows, I just wonna know how I can remove them!
Thanks!

Well, using Theme Creator Pro, extract the desktop pic. Then, using Photoshop, get rid of the shadows.

Actually..... since the picture you extract is going to be a .jpg or a .gif file... the icons 'black parts' and shadows are part of the image and no longer a separate layer.

I usually extract the WALLPAPER and amend it to suit my needs. That way I won't have to go and edit out 12 icons which I'm not very good at anyway

then your best bet is to contact the person who created the theme and ask for the original layered file. or else search for the pic on google and edit it yourself.
