Oh, geeze. Um... here's my modified ThemeMaker effort as a .deb (NiceLite2). I've gotten rid of not only the frames, but the radio box itself and toned down the radio station listing bar. A click on the arrow on the right of the bar will bring up all your pre-programmed stations against a white background so you'll never get lost, at least.

I also discovered that I can slide my weather things under the radio station listing bar.

The assumption here is that you already are familiar *where* certain buttons are on the invisible radio box. It didn't take long for me to figure out intuitively where the radio buttons are and where to tap if I want to switch weather cities. The only downside is that the shape is definitely there so you can't just lower the radio station listings bar to the bottom of the screen or top (or make it narrower).

Since I was futzing with some colours, the up/down arrows on the application menu are now pretty blue and the mail alert colour is, I think, cherry reddish.

There were so many buttons and boxes and things on the ThemeMaker .png file that I didn't want to play too much with it since I'm not graphically inclined at all.

I found the application itself was easy once I figured out in PhotoShop how to magic pen areas and just dump a colour in it with the paint can. But, like I mentioned, there are *a lot* of small graphics and, really, I quite like the cool blue of nuvoSourceImage.png so I didn't think there was much need to change many things.

Now I'm just waiting for fiferboy to come up with an incredibly easy way to have a one-button application launcher to get rid of those irritating contact icons and I'll be pretty happy :-)

Um... I've just discovered the theme's .deb is something like 748KB so it won't fit on the forum.

I'm not sure what to do at this point and I'm on my way out to volleyball for the night... any suggestions?
