Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

Forgive my ignorant curiousity, but why are themes in extras-devel? They can't be unstable (can they???) Are they still being tweaked? Or is that just the procedure before they go up the ladder?

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

I second the maemo.org theme. It looks absolutely fantastic!

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

haven't tried the themes in app manager, will try them right now.

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

Maybe not unstable, but can easily cause usability issues e.g. too large/small font, similiar foreground/backgound colors, undesired effect on UI widgets, etc.

Plus, they are contained in a deb package which run scripts as root on the device. For example, you wouldn't want me to be able to upload a theme to extras without testing that has "rm -rf" in the postinst script :) (not that I would, obviously!)

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

Yeah.. it's usually just a good idea to run all packages through a testing process before allowing everyone to install it. Jumping straight to extras could.. well.. really make t.m.o. an interesting place for a while.. :D

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

Ah, ok. I'm just an ignorant n900b. I was a bit mystified about what could be 'unstable' about the theme. I take the point about usability, and if they're not compiled into an instalation packeage, then that makes perfect sens.

Thanks for the explanation: You may now return to your regularly scheduled thread. :)

(Though I still want to see that maemo.org theme...)

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

I absolutely love the maemo theme as well.

And I'd like to make themes too. I don't know much about codes and programming but if there's one thing that I'd like to know first and contribute to fellow maemo users is n900 themes.

Thanks for the link to N900 wallpapers. There are some excellent pictures for download

ok... there is this Red Alert theme but .. u have to use something called SSH to install it and im a noob.... can anyone get the .deb version??

Re: where to find good N900 themes..?!
 

Is it possible that someone could re-create the stock theme so instead of blue, it is red. Black and red work really well together. I think it would look great. I imagine it needs a simple overlay in PS - But still new to the device, I don't want to run before I can walk.
