Some guy talked to a manager at Nokia and the dude sayed that it will be out december 10. It remains to be seen if its true. And the other one that the italian guy is working on is going to cost a little bit of cash.

I got all the theme to work together nicely.

All you need to do is to create new directory in the E:/system/skins similar to 101f861c, 101f862c, etc then modified the original Climber.skn and 101f860C.ini and put them in the new directory together with the new mbm file. I cannot explain how to do it but I cam email anybody who want the .skn and .ini file associated with the new skin.

The next time you open the theme the new theme will be listed.

How can I attach a jpg pic in post?

smokinman
03-12-2003, 05:32 AM
OK I got it now. Here is the screenshot!

03-12-2003, 08:25 AM
OK Someone asked me for .skn and .ini files for Crystallize.mbm

Download the attached file. There are two files inside 101F865C.ini and Cristal.skn

Create new folder named 101f865c under E:/system/skins,

Rename Crystallized.mbm to Cristal.mbm(Dont ask me why I renamed it this way. I just want to make it the same length as the name Climber)

Copy the files: Cristal.mbm, and the two .ini and .skn files to the directory

That is all. The next time you open Theme, you will see Cristal.

Now if you want to know how to modified the ini and skn for other themes all you need is just a hex editor. Compare the original Climber.skn and 101F860C.ini to the modified Cristal.skn and 101F865C.ini

or

You can wait for the Theme Editor.

smokinman
03-12-2003, 08:31 AM
Next one is Linux

Create directory the same name as the .ini file.

Rename Linux the same name as .skn file

I hope Nokia going to release Theme Maker(Not Editor). Editor just upen up readily made .mbm file and modified it. A Theme Maker can create a theme from scratch, simplest theme to the most sophisticated theme including the font color, etc. We dont want to base all of our themes on the Climber.mbm right?

He...he...here is the skn and ini file for XBox. Open it up and you will see what went wrong. There are some bytes(near the beginning) in the .skn file you need to change to associate the skn file and the Folder Name.

Lets send all your Themes to the Themes Portal www.chaellers.ch !

smokinman
05-12-2003, 01:23 AM
I guess those who dont want to pay can just use the theme created by others and create their own .skn file. By the way only .mbm and .skn file needed in order to get the theme listed. The .ini file if missing will be created once you change the default setting.

But Really Euro 9.00 is not a lot. But if Nokia come out with their own theme maker and FREE then that is what I am looking for. The weakness of puffo version of Theme Editor is that you still have to prepare the image first with image editing software. Too combersome for me.

Although its nice that someone has made the effort to put together an editor for 6600 themes (wtf is nokia playing at?), it seems to me still a clunky way of doing it.


I would be interested if the author has created a template of some kind for the creation of the relevent bitmaps and what graphics packages he uses.

Because I find creating all the BMP's as separate entities hard work, I have started to put together somthing in Macromedia Fireworks that will slice up a larger image into the correct sized images. This (when done) should let me create and overview the whole new theme on one document in Fireworks, as it would look on the screen of the 6600 and export the slices (pre-named following my own conventions) automatically ready for loading into the Theme Editor.

This is about best way I can figure out of tackling this. Does anyone else use a similar method, or are you creating individual BMP's and never get to see the theme until its sent to the phone?

Same to me, and I will NOT pay for sending, since I need only a unlock key. And THAT is what I will pay.
It means that there are still some major errors in the program
because I cannot pay with my Credit Card, even if it says so.
Pitty.
I hoop they will fix it in a vew day's because a Theme Editor
for 10 Euro is notting. Cheap. GiveAway. Nice.
For this I do NOT need a crack ! !
And after some time we can exchange Themes and MBM files
and even many more people will enjoy.

Yeah man i know that.....i suspect it will approach the skinning in the same way (by importing BMP's into the MBM file and packaging them up as a SIS). I was asking how people deal with the creation of the images before importing them into an editor.

HI!...

I am just too tired for create themes :) ...

So i discover i noce way to make that i want..

I kind a like the DEFAULTS Nokia 6600 Themes...

Theme 2 and 3 are good... and you can change
the palette color for the selected things..

But the most important thing... i don't like the DEFAULT
Nokia Icons... so i used the WindowsXP Theme Icons...

And BINGO!... Default Theme 2 ... Edit and use the ICONS from WinXP Theme ... i put my own Wallpaper.. and i think that i will stay with this nice look till Nokia or anyone Launch a real good Theme Editor... or.. i see it more good themes to combine :) ...

By Now.. this is my theme :)

BTW! the Crystalized Theme Icons work well too with the DEFAULT THEME ... (white Backgrounf for icons)

cya!

If you pay with a credit card:
- an E-mail with the registration code to unlock the program will be sent to you within 24 hours.
- A letter will in any case be sent to your home containing the registration code, the software CD and a payment receipt.

Cedar....bit tight posting a crack imho **(removing was the right thing to m8 - Let em get it from IRC or Yahoo)**.

However from my experiences of the theme editor I dont think a crack is going impact the developers any.

This is just my opinion, but the interface for the theme editor is frustrating and the lack of meaningful documentation doesnt help any. Things that piss me off include ...

Scrollbars that dont increment level indicator frames correctly.
Radio Buttons that appear to have no function.
No names on Icons.
meaningless conventions for image names.

Shame, because the thought was there. Points for beating Nokia to it I suppose however lets hope Nokia do a better job.

Does the Author have anything to say I wonder?

Here is the way to create/edit an mbm file and turn it into theme without overwritting the Climber one.

To edit/create a mbm, got to http://marirs.net/forum where you'll find tools and explanations (Than u Maryrs ;) ).

To turn your mbm into a theme :

1) In \System\SKINS create a new folder of 8 hexa letters (0-F) (eg ffeedd00)

2) rename your mbm file so it has 7 letters (eg mytheme.mbm)

3) edit attached file mytheme.skn (rename it like your .mbm)

3.1) In first line, replace "CC DD EE FF" by your folder name in reverse order (eg if you name your folder "ffeedd00" replace with "00 DD EE FF")

3.2) In 12th and 13th lines, replace "M.Y.T.h.e.m.e" with the title of your theme (the one which appears on ur phone) ... be carefull : "." betwween letters must be coded "00" in hexa

3.3) Replace all occurences (4) of (m.y.t.h.e.m.e) by the name of your mbm file ... "." between letters is also coded "00"

4) Put .skn and .mbm in this folder (.ini will be created automatically)

Enjoy ;)

I just want to draw and install on the phone, arse to all the fannying around with MBM files and all this 733t h@x0r gayness and I certainly cant be doing with a badly translated, none documented, unsupported, bit of shareware.

NOKIA pull yer fingers out and sort out a real theme editor! Whats the point of providing the functionality on the device and then not providing any kind of support for it u norks!

Hi,

The new Nokia Theme editor needs Win2000 to work, but It has been found that in XP if you change the properties of the program to run in 2000 compatability mode it runs fine.

I don't think you can do this in 98 though, so the only thing to do is wait. I'm sure another is coming along to be released.

11-12-2003, 07:35 PM
Or you can run the compatibility wizard in XP TOOLS,....set compatilibility to WIN2000...

I'm running XP Pro,..but still can only install approx 75%,..then it stops,..dont know why ?

I know people that use it on XP,..so it does work,..but very slow!
