Now, an easy way we can fix this is to repackage the themes as per ConversationModder compatible format and upload it to the wiki.

An alternate way would be for the app to read the theme file and act accordingly. Now, if it is the second way, I need ideas on how to proceed, seeing as there can be a large variety of theme files present and how can we support all of them?

I want ideas and opinions.




This should work correctly. Unless you're using a theme which do not show our names by default. In this case, even if we use the change own name option, the change wont be shown in conversations as the theme has disabled own name.

Tell me, what theme are you using?

Maybe in a future version, I can add option to enable our name if it isn't there?

BTW, new update is now uploaded!
Version 1.5.2
New features:
  • change text color of message
  • change color of contact name
  • the menu loops until we cancel it.
Thanks for clarifying the position I spent a couple of hours last night trying to work out what was wrong, when it appears nothing! Perhaps you could update your first post to explain the position as I see there's another poster on the other link with a similer issue and he does no is way around the N900, unlike me!, from his posts on Nokia discussions.

Clealry it is down to each developer but now you have got your conversation modder working correctly perhaps it would be wise for the other theme developers to develope their themes to wrok with your modder so they can be easily intsalled by usuers like me?

I note your comments re the name issue and will therefore try it later with a theme which actually shows either "you" or my name as I don't think the standard bubble theme does but, if not, perhaps the developer could allow the selection of names as that's my favorite theme at present.

Thanks for all your assistance
