Cool I like it. The lightsaber idea also sounds good.

Nice one btw!
Always handy indeed!

Are these from alpha or beta themes?

Hellobull, this slider is fantastic, very nice work.

I know b66m said where to copy to files to, is there any way you could just let me know how to do this please? I assume it is using xterminal but not sure how to make the backup of Beta theme or copy the new files over.

Only when/if you have time of course! Thank you

when your phone is connected to your pc just make a new directory named "themes". (full path: /home/user/MyDocs/themes)

in this folder make two additional directories named "beta" and "beta-backup".

now place the two folder of the archive "images" and "backgrounds" in "beta".
disconnect usb.

open x-term.
1. get root:
type "sudo gainroot".
2. copy your files anywhere to back them up:
type "cp -r /usr/share/themes/beta/* /home/user/MyDocs/themes/beta-backup/"
3. overwrite existing files:
type "cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/themes/beta /usr/share/themes/"

(maybe you can use the .local-directory like when changing icons:
"you don't have to replace the files in /usr/share/icons/hicolor, you can use ~/.local/icons/hicolor instead (folder doesn't exist) to override default icons."
just adapt the paths?! haven't tried it yet.)

hello b66m, sorry to be a pain. I notice you can't see the MyDocs folder when connected via USB to my pc. I have created the themse folder in .documents to start with and put the other folders (beta & beta-backup) in there.

I can't unfortunately work out how to copy from .documents over to the correct place in MyDocs, or even directly to the place you mentioned would be the final place for them.

If you or anyone can help it would be great. cheers peeps!

I am sorry for being such a noob!!

The root folder shown on your PC is the MyDocs folder on the N900
