I have downloaded a couple of themes but am having trouble installing them.How do you do this?
I thought you could just drag & drop the themes into the phone's theme folder as you would do with an mp3 file into sounds.
Whenever I try to drag a file into the themes folder nothing happens.
what am i doing wrong?
hope someone can help

Another way of transferring themes, is by right-clicking on the theme (make sure that BT/IR connection is already established), Send To and select your mobile device. This will make your phone prompt if you want to receive the incoming file - select Yes and this will automatically put the theme in to the Theme folder of you phone. The phone usually prompts you that download is completed and ask if you want to use now. if you select Yes, this will install the theme as your default. if you choose No it will stay in the Theme folder ready for you to choose it anytime you want.
resistance is futile.

Hello thanks for replies.
Not currently using any software to install themes, can you recommend any?
I have downloaded the themes from esato & have my phone connected to my pc via a syncstation dss-20.
I can access the phone memory etc & thought i could just drag the file into the themes folder from windows but can't do this. tried the send to method but no option to send to mobile phone,do i need to enable something on the phone? I have dragged mp3 files succesfully from windows to my phone so thought this would be no different, obviously it is. sorry for being such a dufus but still learning.
