Hello guys,
I found the site
www.blackle.com and straight my mind went on my M600...
Thus if a black theme created, will it be also a battery saver for the mobile?

I think there is no sustantial battery saving in setting a black (dark) theme.
It would be different if the phone has a CRT (:)) display. For an LCD the power is due to the backlight that will be ON in the same way for every color.

No... It does work... I m using the W960 theme with my P990 and the battery lasts for a bit longer and its easily noticible...

I read the following article:
http://savingenergy.wordpress[....]-energy-one-monitor-at-a-time/
so I was quite sure of the insensitivity of the LCD display consumption to the color.
Could be you are using the phone a little less in this period, same brightness?

The color of the theme doesn't affect in any way the battery's life!

So i suppose there is no definite answer here... Only an expert who understands how the phone works, might answer our question...
Anyway i 've found a black theme, and i will test it when i charge the phone full...

I really don`t see why do you worry...it takes 20 mins to charge M600 from 8% to 100%
