That is the one I was referring to when I said Except, Babinokia's theme is the exception here.
Confusion in communication.

All Themes Are Free
@davidmaxwaterma - Sorry mate but your wrong, they are uploaded for FREE and were created using Mobile9's Online Theme Creator by members (excluding Babinokia's Theme). No revenue, advertising is gained from these. So I think we should be just happy we have some themes for Valentines.
Also pointing out, these were all made using JPG / PNG / BMP and not SVG, we haven't implemented SVG support yet.
If you want a few more "pro" looking themes made using Nokia's Theme Maker I have created a post with a few quality collection. Although these take longer and require some skill in graphics to achieve.

Very nice - thanks for finding these themes  The first and the third both look very nice on the N82.

We can't complain too much about the quality because we haven't really paid for it in any way.

I disagree (somewhat). Some of them get revenue from visits or give the opportunity to donate. Complaining is a good way of telling them why they're not making any money and how they might do better. I know this from my own product
...but you said, 'too much' so I guess we agree

Indeed. I realise all that, and it's hardly an excuse, IMO...however understandable it is.

Don't worry, I've got a separate E90 theme piece coming up soon for you to enjoy!

Sounds good
Having played a little more, I see that most of the icons etc work ok, I think. It's really the backgrounds that are stretched and don't look too good.
Look forward to the E90-specific piece
Thanks!
Max.

The vast majority of S60 3rd Edition themes are designed for vertical/portrait QVGA screens, which is what I tested these themes on (as you can see from the screenshots I took).

Fair enough, I guess :|

e90?
I tried two of them and they both looked kind of crap on my e90's internal screen. Do any of them work on e90?

Malerocks, it's a common thing in British newspapers to have comments inserted into an article by the editor, or "ed". As in this case, it's normally only done to add a bit of humour.

Who is this 'Ed' you keep referring to in your articles?
