yeah sure, one thing i must say, because of the way the app works the theme does come in at 260kb (ish), so sorry about that.

Not sure, that did happen to me a couple of times, if this happends to anyone else, i'll replace the downloadable file with a new one. Sorry about that, i gues its because the app im using is still in beta form and has a few bugs.

Actually a nice theme, currently using it on my phone now. Only thing that needs changing (in my view) is the pop up title. The light colored text with blue border can be a little difficult to read as the background is also white. You'll see what I mean when you writing an sms and you are scrolling through the words, very difficult to read them.

Other than that, a great effort.

Yeah i have notice this slight problem, however the app that im using doesn't enable you to change the colours for this (as far as ive discovered). But I'll take another look and if i can change it i'll post an updated version of this theme.

Cheers for the feedback

@whentheleveebreaks: Its not the way the app works that makes the theme 260k, it's because all the images are too big (in filesize)!

Here is an optimised version of your theme that I did, which looks exactly the same but is only 39k!

All I did was re-save all your images using the Save for Web feature in Photoshop CS, made some GIFs instead of JPEGs, and saved as high quality.

I also made a slight change to the main background. It no longer shifts vertically when going from the desktop to a menu list.

Thanks Jools! Saving me some space on the phone.

I'd also recommend changing the following..

Popup -> Popup Highlight text color to black (try scrolling through the list of optional words when writing an sms as it is currently ... very difficult to see).

Single title background to #004080. (Reason for this is currently when sending an sms, and selecting the person you are sending it to, you get the To: screen with the address where you can add more addresses, the light colored text with the light blue background is a bitch to read, hence the change to a darker blue).

I've changed it, but no where to upload to Anyways, this is the current theme on the phone, and one of the few that looks as good as the default themes from SE.

Yeah, I'll make those changes (was planning too anyway but haven't had chance yet!) and will re-post here.

I want to thank whentheleveebreaks for his work in making the theme in the first place. It's now my default theme and looks great. I don't want to steal any credit for the minor tweaks I've made to it.

Thankyou for making the tweaks to my theme, as it was my first go at designing a theme it was always going to have a few things that were not quite right so cheers for changing the faults. And thanks for the positive feedback.

Its nice to see some cool mac users here. I myself use a 17inch powerbook and its a pure joy and complements my lovely K700i or the other way around. Ive downloaded the theme onto my phone and it looks bloody brilliant. Thanks guys.

Let me know if there are any changes!
