Excellent madrassa, this is exactly the information i have been searching for, and it works perfectly, thank you 😊

It means,
on the right of the screen there is a menu with a file browser, open that and go to your saved .sis and select it.
it should then display the theme in the gallery.. then your copying the content of that from the gallery to a new theme so it can them be edited.

very handy. i have a theme i like but has a few bits i would like to change. now i can. :icon14: :icon14:

I have another question to that:

That is with You also so, that one must re-store everyone individual symbol/element?

hi,
my name is ibti and am from mauritius island.

so the question is are u people who have been satisfied, do you have
the same version of theme studio ??

Will u please tell me all the details clearly...
the thing as that i just want to know about it
Please help me if u can MADRASSA or CREDO if any of u have read my post.. please help !

err ... am sorry for the stupid quest ?? but u c am nt used to forums and its only yesterday that i registered one ..and many many thanks for ur help dude 😊

By the way, the techdocs for Carbide.ui (the latest Theme Studio) claim that you can edit SIS files... although I've not found a way to do that yet.

Could thid theme studio edit the existing theme in my phone Nokia 6680?
Coz I have a pic as wallpaper in one of the exisiting ( original ) themes, that accidently I've erased that pic from memory card but is still exists as wallpaper.
I've explored the phone memory by using FExplorer and File Manager, but I still can't find that pic.
Could this be done by using theme studio?

Apologize for my bad english....

U can rebuil the theme without this much effort. U can do it even without the help of theme studio

I'm using the latest version of theme studio as well and I also can't see the sis files in the browser. Now, my situation may be a little different becuase I don't make my own themes. I have downloaded a few themes that are great, but there are a few minor things I would like to change. Is there a way to do this with out the source codes? Is there way to find an older version of theme studio? :con?
