It was indeed a typo by the looks of it. I have now succesfully removed the backgrounds from the Nokia theme!! can someone confirm for me that for the iivilsteel grunge theme the code would be as follows... $ Sudo gainroot $ cd /usr/share/themes/iivilsteel grunge theme/images $ Mv ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png ApplicationShortcutAppletPressed.png.old $ Mv ApplicationShortcutApplet.png ApplicationShortcutApplet.png.old iivilsteel grunge theme - With spaces? I love the Maemo community! That's yet another brilliant mod i've made to my N900 with all your help!
