well your last line says 'nothing you can do about it' and that part I can actually read. And I beg to differ. Any hand-made theme can be rectified so that it will work on a phone. It's just a matter of finding out what's wrong with it.

Like I said, will have a look at it tonight.

Yer i also got an error thm, and can't find the problem, i thought that if there was a colour conflict then you couldn't save the theme.

Nice english ;DDD Anyway, it is not color conflict. All colors are ok. It is someghing with images compression. For some reasons avery picture I make with Photoshop it's not recognisable ;DD It is definitly the compression of .jpg or .gif file. So... If somebody can explain how these things works ;D he/she can be a winer of a bike ;DDD

Best Regards,

What I do, when working in Photoshop, I use the option 'save for web' rather than 'save as' and then save my images as .jpg files (quality 6) which gives me nice images that aren't too big.

Hope that helps.

The images are not the problem. I believe that there is a colour clash not highlighted by TCPro. You can prove this by removing all images from the theme, saving it and uploading it the phone - it still doesn't work.

Is your site down? I cannot download any of the themes.


As for colour clashes: make sure your 'background' colours are very different from your 'text' colours, make sure your 'operator name' text in the wallpaper is visible, ie make sure the text and the shadow are not the same or very close to one another as your phone will not handle this.

OK I managed to download 'NightElf' this time and I have found the problem. it is indeed a colour clash and it's sad that TCP does not alarm you for this.

However, I'd like to refer to my post in this thread for the bacardi theme. I assume that you have the very same corrupted file.

Then, your NightElf. Look at the image below. I have circled the changes that I made, ie the cursor and the prompt colour. They were black in the file I downloaded from your site. As you see, the background colour is also black. So the way your phone reads the file, your background and cursor and prompt are the exact smae colour, hence neither your cursor or you prompt will be visible. This is not acceptable to the phone, therefore it treats the file as corrupt. The background is the colour your window would be if there were no picture attached. It does not matter to the phone that there is in fact a picture attached, it simply will not allow those same colours to be used.



Hope this helps you.
