Appreciate the replies a lot, but unfortunately I still face the same troubles. The thing is, this is how it's been since I got the phone. Even after I updated the software. I didn't come anywhere near the theme files.

@Bazza, I think i followed the steps you said and replaced the folder, but there was no change whatsoever. Maybe I did something wrong, could you kindly elaborate on the steps you took to fix your problem so I could recheck?

@ejasmuder Well done on the app, but it doesn't seem to startup after I downloaded it. closes while loading. Any help on that?

Is there any way I can fix this? Are there other apps you guys recommend for showing messages other than Conversations? Please bare with me because it's been less than a week since I got my N900?

Thanks a lot to everyone.
