While installing this theme I'm having following errors:

short read in buffer_copy (failed to write to pipe in copy)
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste returned error exit status 2

short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during './opt/themes/matrix/startup-wizard/StartupWizardListBgNormal.png'

Please help resolving it.

Thanks,

I just tried to install it and everything went fine.
Not sure why you getting this error.

I found why. Because from my N900 the link where this file is hosted (mediashare) disconnects frequently due to poor signal and/or ads opened on mediashare site.

I installed by going to app mgr -> downloads -> desktop -> matrix...

Let me know if that's the latest one. Thanks.

PS :: Theme is very good...

hey top theme, maybe you could make use of my vid which also has the matrix background. maybe as intro vid or sommat.

Good concept but way too color full and too many animations which makes it look less professional. If you stick with one type of font, color and animation that will make it look even better.

Matrix theme is now on extras testing(1.1 version is up).
Please test and vote.

Additional thanks goes to Flandry and D-livil.

I just found out that the color highlight of a selected SMS is blue.
I dont' know if this is a bug or a feature but I prefer green everywhere in the matrix theme.
So i changed

in

in css/colors.css. Now after a reboot the highlight color is green.

Very nice theme, i'm currently using it. Is it possible to have some sound in the start up video so i know phone has started.

thanks

Since some people deslike boot sounds, you can edit the avi and add any sound you want.

Hi!

Thanks for the great-looking theme! I just love the way the background image works as you flick between desktops and the way text turns green when it is selected.

But say, would you be interested in making a darker theme? The backgrounds of buttons are a bit light in my opinion. How about making them almost all-black and any lettering on the buttons could be the cool cyber-green that's in wide use in the theme. I think now backgrounds and buttons are gray and I would like to see them black(er). I think just generally the boxes and buttons would fit in to the rest of the theme a little nicer, were they just a little darker. What do you think?

Also, the screen where you enter the PIN appears in somekind of a window. Maybe the window frame should be darker or dissolved into the black background all together? Looks more like an error prompt to me. Could it be my language setting (finnish)? I don't receive any errors, though to be clear.

I imagine it's really hard to pull off while maintaining this stylish look, but would be nice if you would play around with some of the key theme elements from Matrix. For example the red and blue pill or perhaps a white rabbit as an easter egg of some sort. For example, the button to say "OK" to continue after entering PIN could be the red pill and some button marking the exit could be either the blue pill or the white rabbit.

Or just keep it as it is: the best theme for the N900 at the moment.
