When I tried to install it I get the message that the file is corrupted and is 0 bytes and cannot be installed. Downloaded it twice - same result.

Just in time for summer, I bring to you... FunFun4c (how's *that* for a theme title, huh?).

Applause for the following:

the Fantabulous Urho Konttori - maker of nuvoPearl and Theme Maker!

the Edifying Underscore - creator of nice box frames and enthusiastic all-round player!

Theme highlights of FunFun4c:

- no frames on the home screen and, thanks to Underscore, the web box frame is nice and crisp.
- transparent radio box w. no visible buttons (but they're there and, come on, you *know* where they are on the screen so you know where to tap)
- transparent internet search applet
- transparent clock/date applet (and the clock's been changed to blue and the AM/PM made bigger)
- some more subtle colourful arrows and boxes (because I was playing... that's why).

I'd like to figure out how to do that go-root thang, snag the icon images and play around with them - maybe taking one and making it completely transparent so that choosing it as one of the two icons needed would show up on the screen as one icon and one completely invisible one.

Last time I was playing with the idea last week, I got as far as using X Terminal, inputting a line that should have taken me to the icons folder (copied from another post) but got a 'permission denied' message ). I guess more futzing on my part is required

But I'll be busy watching a lot a lot of [see screenshots] streaming on my computer. Course, I can put my screen conveniently in a corner and go nutso altering a nuvo template .png for a new Theme Maker project

I do like your colorful theme; it makes mine look boring .
One thing I just can't get right (*sigh*) is the rss transparency. Whenever I try to edit the transparency on the rss box (as well as the speed contacts box) I end up with these weird looking artifacts. The default themes' rss boxes look so nice.
-See the rainbow-colored fuzziness below.

Betty, you probably have to become root to cd into that folder. I agree, it'd be nice to change those icons.

That's really strange...I uninstalled the theme, downloaded it, and installed it and it worked fine. Is anyone else having trouble?

I'm running OS2007 on my N800 - does that make a difference?

Oops, sorry. That's my fault. It's for os2008 only. I'll go back and label it. Didn't mess anything up did I?

Nothing new here, just using nuvoClear.

I greatly prefer the seamless (frameless?) look. I wish the time and date on the clock applet could be brought closer together. And I wish that nuvoClear's Home/App menu didn't white out the active application. For that matter, I wish it's menus were higher contrast and larger font. I'll have to try Betty Woo's FunFun4c. I sure do like the seamless look.

Thank you all that worked on these new seamless/transparent themes and applets. I really really like them.
I do second the suggestion of larger fonts and more contrast of the menu items, or at least not to white them out
Thanks again
