put your mouse over the links I gave and look at the url, it IS a utz, its your computer that is saving them as zip.
this is a common problem, same happens with jar files too sometimes.
in fact the file type is simply associated with winzip or some other program but if you transfer it to you m600 it should still be utz and should still install fine
they also show as zip files on my pc too, but they install fine on the m600

if it actually ends up as a zip file on your pc, then you have to rename it to utz
normally its says its a winzip file type but is actually utz on the hard drive, well it is for me and I just tried it again but I have seen your problem before

masseur/Avantis,
Just in case if anyone run into the same problem I have. I have to use DOS command in my WinXP to rename the extension. Not sure why using a right click to rename the file will not rename the extension.
It works fine now when rename the extension to .utz.
Thanks

no need for dos
in windows, just go into Tools -> Folder Options -> click the VIEW tab and uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types"
then you can rename the file, including the file type, in the way you probably were trying to do

@lucas, I have some feedback now on my BTTF theme complete with some screen shots
the first looks great
except the white on the highlited icon
I cant find were in the theme creator to change this. Anyone knows?
Quote:
in the second you can see the main menu but the highlited icon appears white around the icon picture rather than taking on the appearance of the background (transparancy?)
Same here. I have not found anyway to change this.
Quote:
next is the tools menu where again the highlited option is in white and virtually unreadable
and finally a dialogue, in this case the more menu of file manager, where again most options are virtually unreadable
I have looked in to both of these and it turns out, that if I change this there will be places were you have menus in black and text in black.
Quote:
I hope you don't mind this feedback and I also hope there is something you can do about these as it really is a good theme otherwise
Np mate. I have thick skin.
Check out the new version here and let me know what you think (did what I could and added something I think you will like):

The thing is that the theme creator for is far from complete for the M600 and I guess thats why I am one of the few how has patiance of doing themes in it. You start of with a plan of a theme and then you realize that you cant do half the things you want. Crap, but I do my best.
Cheers
Luc

any clues?

I assume you mean the return button. And sod's law says that as a follow on from my previous comments, it's one of the ones that you can't get to normally.
I'm typing this from a different computer, so I can't verify, but this should work.
- Firstly,
the image is 2 images side by side. The one on the left is the normal image, and the right is the image when the button is pressed
- When you've created your theme, unzip the utz file, maintaining the directory structure
- Add your bitmap to the location of all the other bitmaps (Graphics I think)
- Open the theme.xml file in the top directory, and search for a section Code:<skin id="TitleBar">
- Just before the closing of this section, add something along the lines of
Code:<patch id="TitleBackButton" file="AppTitleBack.png">
<drawProperties drawMode="Stretch" leftMargin="6" rightMargin="6" topMargin="6" bottomMargin="6"/>
</patch>
- Rezip all the files into a new utz
Thanks for the tip mate. You mentioned that the images are two images side by side, but it looks like the code strip you mention only gives one link to one image. How and which code do I use to get the other image?
Since it looks like you know how to get this stuff working, can you help me solve the problem with how I can design the apperance of the Icon selector?
Cheers
Luc
