Hello everybody, and sorry if a toppic like this one exist, but I didn't found it.

Yesterday, I changed my mobilephone (I used a Nokia 3310 since 5 or 6 years) and bought a Nokia 5610 XpessMusic Pink.

I decided after seeing the capacitys of my new mobilephone to create my own theme. So, I took as example the "Dark Pink Lamour2" founded on this website (->here<-). And, better to use a theme creator, I copy this theme on my computer, rename the file .nth as a .zip file and extract everything insidie in a special folder.

All the pictures and sounds works with a .xml file and by comparing some files, I found some possibilities (like playing sounds by opening the phone, turning it on, off... etc). But some problems stays.

First : The sound played by turning the phone off works, but not the one I use by turning the phone on (and the picture don't appear). The code is :
<startup
tone="allumer.aac"
main_display_graphics="Lamour544.jpg"
duration="5000" />
<shutdown
tone="eteindre.aac"
main_display_graphics="Black_Lamour.jpg"
duration="3000" />


Second : The theme include new icons for the "menu", but 2 stays the same as the origin one : the one of "Downloads" and the one of "Music store" (I guess. My phone is in french, so, I'm not sure of the names in english). I didn't found the item_id of these buttons. Did someone know them?

Third : In the "welcome screen" of the phone, we have 6 "shortcuts" on the left part. Did someone know how to change them or, at least, to change de background color of the clock (the orange of my operator look scary in my "all-pink-phone").

EDIT :

I founded one other problem and have 2 request :

Fourth : I try since one or 2 hours to change the background of the radio screen and the one of the music screen. I founded on internet this part of the script :
<radio_audio_bg
radio_bg="radio.jpg"
audio_bg="music.jpg" />

He is, for example, use in the animated media player theme (click on the name to see which one). The point is that it don't work on my phone (Not in the Media Player theme and not with my own). If someone know why (not possible, wrong script, bug with my cellphone, alien invasion coming soon...) and/or have a solution, I wanna take. (EDIT2 : I tried to move radio_bg and audio_bg in the <background [...] /> part of the xml code, but it has no effects).

Fifth : Is it possible to change how the clock look like (sth else than adding a flash wallpaper because I don't know how to programm in flash)?

Sixth : Someone know if I can find on internet the list of XML words which works with the cellphone and in which part of the screen they have influence (which text, which wallpaper, wwich icon... etc). I found nothing and I'm not sure it exist but...

Thanks.

Post Scriptum : sorry for the english grammatic, that should be a disaster.

Editing codes might confuse you. Recommend you edit S40 themes by using the Theme Maker.

First : The Startup Tone and Shutdown Tone works fine. (tested myself) The code is :
<startup
main_display_graphics="yourfilename.jpg"
tone="yourfilename.aac"
duration="5000" />
<shutdown
main_display_graphics="yourfilename.jpg"
tone="yourfilename.aac" />

It looks same as your code. Anyway, try use the code above because it works fine on my phone.

Second : I'm not sure what item_id will be appropriate with the "Downloads" and "Music store" button. As far as I know, we can have 21 different types of menu icons in a theme. The item_ids are :
ams_messages
applications
brew
callregister
camera
cdmacust
contacts
extras
gallery
goto
media
messages
number_entry
organizer
push_to_talk
services
settings
simatk
sport
voiceportal
wireless_village
I think that 2 icons will probably have to remain as the original one if none of those ids work.

Third : Sorry, I'm not clear with this question.

Fourth : It is not possible because that is just the wallpaper, not the actual music player interface.

Fifth : I think it is impossible. The clock is not related to the theme. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sixth : You can find some informations about it using the key word - S40 xml code. For addition, I found a very nice article that might interest you, Working with Nokia Series 40 Flash Lite content.

Yeah, thanks a lot. I just finish (again) Guitar Hero III (I dumbly delete my save file) and, after coming back on my laptop, I see this answer. Great feeling.

So, thanks a lot, I'll read everything and try to go thought.

Just, about the 2nd point : it's strange that only 2 icons con't be changed. Can it be true or just that no-one finally find the keyword to change them? (I don't know how old is this cellphone but he look kind of new)

3rd point : it's not important anymore, I found the way to hide this toolbar.

4th : I know it's just the wallpaper, but that's what I want to change (having one related to music on the music "page" and one related to radio on the radio one). The interface is ok ;).

5th : As I understood, it's possible to change the clock by programming a "flash clock application" which should be synchronize on the internal clock of the phone. But I don't know how to do a reverse engineering on a flash file and, anyway, I don't know this language (you have an example ->here<-).

Thanks again

2nd point : The ids you're looking for (the "Downloads" and "Music store" icons) might be in those 21 item_ids. You can give it a try of the item_id="extras". It might be one of them. I can't give you the right answer because I'm not expert on themes. A better way is use the Nokia theme maker. It will be much easier for you to edit the themes.

5th : I thought you mean the clock on the top right of the screen.

I just try each of the 21 id, none of them changes the 2 icons, but somes icons lost in the cellphone. I've to check arround th web, but I find strange that just 21 elements can be changes, and not the other ones (if the icons appear, they have to be call from somewhere).

Oh, and by the way, it's really less fun to use a theme maker (and, anyway, i'm really bad for using thins kind of program. I tried to use the one of this website, but it was like doing nothing).

Online theme maker run basic tasks only. Download the Nokia Theme Creator. That will be fun.
