Yeah send it to Vlammetje@gmail.com and I'll have a look within the hour. Be sure to attach both the theme and the image you wanted for standby. For which phone is it?

Something is definitely up.

I've extracted all files from your .thm file and the wallpaper is NOT included in your .thm file. I do not know why as it DOES show up on my preview on theme creator .



I will reattach every image into a new 'clean' theme to see if that works.

However the highlights and tabs come up blank instead of the red-style that the preview shows. I have no idea but your tar (=.thm) file is obviously broken so best is probably to do a new theme using the same images.

If you email me the highlights and tabs .png files I could do it for you as I'm halfway through already anyway

Did you by any chance save the .thm file and edit it later on? Just trying to guess at what it is that's made it save the parts wrong.

I had this same problem with a theme for P900. I just reload the image again with difference file name and it worked.
If it weren't for bad lucks, I would have no lucks at all.

ok mate you've got mail

One thing you may want to consider: i noticed you saved your images as 176 x 176 and so on. I myself have had funny stuff with image-names with Upper Casing or image-names with spaces in, so as a rule of thumb i only ever use lowercased names without spaces to prevent any more funny stuff from happening.

I usually go with image names like:
soft1
soft2
status1
status2
wall
desk
popuphighlight

and so on and so forth

Good luck... i hope it works this time.
