This theme is incredible! Thanks a ton! I'm gonna try to make custom icons for every app!

Very nice!! I didn't get the full effect until I rebooted. I'm terrible @ reading directions.

Top-notch theme.

That would be awesome! Please release them if you do :)

N810 appears to be stuck in a reboot loop :-/

Wonder what I've done wrong.

I guess I underestimated how obsessed Trekkies are with the appearance of their show. I should've remembered all those custom home theatres decked out like Star Trek rooms I see blogged on tech sites.

I just figured that with all the work to go into this, it would be equally concerned with functionality. (How did Captain Kirk read his status bar if its icons looked like that?)

Anway, thanks for the theme again; I may revert back to it for some variety. I think my post sounded more like an observation than a complaint.

Not all of us are blind, apparently. :cool:

Personally, I hate the large menus and icons in OS2008. The more compact design is a plus, IMO.

Sorry to hear that - I hope it wasn't caused by LCARS.

Without more information I can't say for sure what went wrong, but perhaps you uninstalled a theme while it was in use? If you uninstall a theme (not just LCARS, but Plankton and presumably any other theme) without first switching to another theme, you'll be unable to switch themes again until you re-install the currently selected theme. If you reboot with your device in this state, it will enter a reboot loop and you'll have to flash the device. We discovered this nasty bug while making the theme, and put a warning in bold red text on the LCARS page. See maemo bug #2903 for details.

That's one of the reasons I've been telling people to read the release notes when installing, and why the LCARS installer automatically opens the release notes in a new browser window.

Presumably one could also bypass this by turning off the watchdogs and reinstalling the theme with usbnet/automatic wifi connection and ssh.

I've uninstalled lcars-complete, and lcars-extas but when i turn off my tablet it still shows the lcars shutdown picture (the same one it shows when you turn the tablet on). I found this werd because removing lcars-extas reverted the the startup screen back to the blue nokia logo. I'v rebooted the tablet sevral times and even created my own custom boot screen, but the shut down still shows lcars. I kept the 3 themes and the sounds package. Any ideas?

[Edit] If i delete the icon-theme.cache file do you think this might help?

[Edit#2] After removing all of the lcars packages and a few dozen reboots the lcars shutdown screen is gone. I guess i need to learn the value of Patience.

The site/repository is down.

Does anyone know what is wrong and is there a mirror?
