Re: Conversations Theme MODs
 

Umm, hey great work and thanks for the initiative F2thak. How about a wiki page for this like to the N900 Conversation Mods?

Re: Would anyone be interested in a Dark Theme for Conversations?
 

It seems I can change the colour of the text input area, but my changes to the background do not show :S I wonder why :S

Re: Conversations Theme MODs
 

I think we should hold off on the Wiki page till we have something more substantial to document, atm its not really possible to mess with much, so lets get some more progress on the customising of backgrounds ect. Then we can make a wiki :)

Re: Conversations Theme MODs
 

Just been taking a look through the N9 Theme files, I have found what seems to be the .css file for the messaging just as we had on the N900 :)

@ejas reckon you could take a look and have a play with it? I can test it for you as well if you want :)

The location of the file is

Seems like maybe we could get an avatar next to the bubble like our N900 Mods, and even other mods if possible :)

Awesome! Unfortunately I'm still waitiing for the DHL fairy to deliver my N9, so it will have to wait.

Re: Conversations Theme MODs
 

Lemme attach the .css file and i can test it while you await your N9 to be delivered :)

I'm having a very confusing issue changing the background colour, I don't understand where the hell this thing reads the background colour from!

I have changed BOTH background files to be black and dark grey, yet it still flipping stays the default colour!

Ejas if you could please alter this .css file i've attached to change my texts writing colour to white :)

Re: Conversations Theme MODs
 

This is really starting the annoy me! Why wont this damn phone accept any changes?? :S

Why did Nokia decide to remove the ability to switch themes, its like the default theme is preloaded somewhere and its not possible to change! I cannot adjust even the text colours meaning that changing the bubble colours ends up making text harder to read :/

Not quite sure whats going on but hopefully someone can shed some light on this..

EDIT: Progress made! Managed to change the background! :) Seems Nokia are using a file with constants that have to be met in order for the images to work, going to take awhile to figure this out, hopefully someone can have better luck :) There are two constants files located in both the base and blanco theme folders, the file in the blanco files seems to be the one that affects the background :)


The only reason I am reverting to the default white and grey background for the moment is that my altered background is in in all conversations view meaning i cant see the names of the contacts clearly and even in the email client :( Needs alot of tweaking, but will be perfect with some work :)

Re: Would anyone be interested in a Dark Theme for Conversations?
 

OT,

What theme is that?

Re: Conversations Theme MODs
