I once read a thread with a post where someone mentioned a theme that allowed your background image to bleed out all the way to the screen edges. Anyone know the name of this theme and where to get it?

NuvoClear, perhaps? That screenshot post is part of an entire thread on screenshots and themes. If you're interested in seeing different themes and visual customizations, it may be worth investing some time there.

There's a link at the bottom of Underscore's post, but in case you overlook that, the download is available from NuvoClear's Garage Project page.

thanks, going to check it out now

EDIT: It was easy to setup and I do like the look of having the image go out 'further'.

Only thing is that it sets the transparency on my beloved Yellow-Note applet to way too transparent.

Also, I noticed on the garage page that it had a collection of icons. How do you install new icons on the N810?

Below is a quick screenie of how my N810 looks after applying the new theme:

Ha, TinTin vs Aliens!

Very cool!

Haha, yeah, well spotted ;-)

Here's the full screen

Thanks for that pointing out to NuvoClear; that's something I've wanted to. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find the wide scrollbar hack, and so I just might be back to echowb until I do.

Nice to see a TinTin fan ! I used to "consume" Tin Tin books as eagerly as the the Marvel comics. Too bad Tin Tin is not too big here in the US (though Spielberg might change that) !

Well said and a vary valid point - I have switched to many of these excellent themes only to have to switch back to Echowb for that wide border scroll bar.

I wish some of these themes standardised on that one aspect - a wide scroll bar please.

Thanks; but that's just what I feared: the wide scrollbars are attached to the theme, not to the system's windowing UI

I'll either tolerate this with NuvoClear, or figure out an alternative means of scrolling that nixes the scrollbars completely. Thin is definitely not in on my device.
