if you want to check if you still have any themes installed just enter in terminal as root:

ls /usr/share/themes/

only blanco and base should be there...if there is anything else it means there is another theme there...you can also browse to this location using Filebox...

lastly if you want to remove a 3rd party theme just enter in terminal as root:

Code:
rm -rf /usr/share/themes/THEME_NAME_WHICH_IS_THE_FOLDER_NAME_YOU_GOT_FROM_DOING_THE_LS_COMMAND

I understand some people may consider the following to be heresy or otherwise utterly disgusting, but I suppose some people may find this interesting:



This example theme only contains some launcher icons and a font definition but could be extended to modify all aspects of the UI like buttons, toolbars and so on. I'm not interested in continuing the project myself but if someone wants to spend (a lot ) of time with such a theme I can provide this example as a starting point.

Note that the icon labels don't look as good as on a certain other device because there is no drop shadow in the labels. Unfortunately those can't be added without touching the code.

I meant that the labels (texts - Phone, Mail, Web...) do not have drop shadows (the same text in semi-transparent black color, blurred, 4 pixels below the white text). The icons do have fake drop shadows achieved by creating a drop shadow image from the generic icon mask with rounded corners and using that as a background image for the launcher buttons. This image also includes a generic drop shadow behind the labels but it's not specific for each label and thus doesn't "raise" the labels properly from the background.

shadows are not precise,but they looks awesome.
i don't know how you add the effect to the theme. You tweak something, or there is some standard mod that gave you the possibility?

See my previous post. It's explained there:

In the CSS file this means

background-image: icon-l-launcherbutton-background;

where icon-l-launcherbutton-background is my pre-made shadow image. Works on an unmodified system, no patches needed.

Can I alter configurations in meegotouchhome.css or statusarea.css from base theme using custom theme that inherits blanco ? Can you post a guide how to package a custom theme to .deb using Qt Creator ? This would seriously help many users in creating themes from custom icons.
