Thanks!
For the buttons; check out my iStyle -serie, it has effect like that on buttons.
And the third one; I doubt Nokia will ever change the theme caching behaviour. At the moment reboot is the only way to clear the cache and make all changes visible. Half way workaround is that you don't tick the autoreboot, but instead after the Plastic Setup has finished, you go and change the theme into something else (ie. nseries) and then change it back to Black Plastic. That will refresh most of changes but not all (icons, most of buttons etc).

I will soon post instructions on how you guys can easily "convert" existing themes into Plastic schemes. It's pretty easy, I just need to find time to put it all together

Great work! I really like this package.Everyday, i change the scheme and fonts. My favorite is the deep purple. Hahaha.
I wish to have a "camouflage" in different color schemes. Hehehe

Okay,
here's short how-to about converting ANY other theme to act like Plastic Scheme. Things needed in this turorial:
ON DEVICE:
rootsh (install from extras)
1. you must have the theme installed onto the phone which you want to convert to be Plastic Scheme
2. locate the theme (type these into terminal):
That will output you directories of themes you have installed like this:
In this case we shall make the default NSeries theme to be Plastic Scheme. It's directory is called "alpha".
3. Create a directory for the scheme under /opt/plastic-schemes/, you can name the direcotry to what you want, name of the directory is shown as scheme name in Plastic Theme Setup. Type this into xterm:
4. Copy the contents of the theme to /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/ (or what ever you decided to name the directory in previous step), type these into terminal:
That's the easy part. Now we need to manually edit one file so that the theme will actually work as scheme. You can use what ever editor you want, I prefer leafpad since it can be easily be launched from terminal. Edit this file:
/opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
If you're using leafpad too, then the command to edit this file would be:
When you have the gtkrc-file opened into some editor, locate these three lines (they are almost at the beginning of the file):
Replace those three lines with these:
When done, save the file and close the text editor and return to terminal. Next we need to search and replace all entries of "Nokia Sans" with "Droid Sans" in few files. Copy and paste these commands into terminal (you still must be gainrooted), these are both one-lines, the forum software seems to automaticly break the lines... but copy-paste works here:
Finally we need to remove some unwanted files. Type these into terminal:
That's it!
Now the NSeries -theme will be shown @ Plastic Theme Setup and you can customize it same way like all other schemes.
I personally use openssh-server and WinSCP -program where transferring and editing files is much easies when you can do all this with GUI.

sudo gainroot cd /usr/share/themes/ ls
Code:
Nokia-N900:/opt/usr/share/themes# ls Default alpha Emacs beta MurrinaNightOrange blackplastictheme-themedir Raleigh default Nokia-N900:/opt/usr/share/themes#
3. Create a directory for the scheme under /opt/plastic-schemes/, you can name the direcotry to what you want, name of the directory is shown as scheme name in Plastic Theme Setup. Type this into xterm:
Code:
mkdir /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries
Code:
cp -rf /usr/share/themes/alpha/* /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/
/opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
If you're using leafpad too, then the command to edit this file would be:
Code:
leafpad /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
Code:
pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/alpha/images" gtk-theme-name = "Nokia Nseries" gtk-icon-theme-name = "hicolor"
Code:
pixmap_path "/usr/share/themes/blackplastictheme-themedir/images" gtk-theme-name = "Black Plastic Theme" gtk-icon-theme-name = "black-plastic-icons"
Code:
perl -pi -e "s/Nokia Sans/Droid Sans/g" /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/gtk-2.0/gtkrc perl -pi -e "s/Nokia Sans/Droid Sans/g" /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/css/colors.css
Code:
rm -rf /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/backgrounds/theme_bg.desktop rm -rf /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/index.theme rm -rf /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/matchbox rm -rf /opt/plastic-schemes/NSeries/matchbox2
Now the NSeries -theme will be shown @ Plastic Theme Setup and you can customize it same way like all other schemes.

Is there a link to see all the screenshots of all the diff themes included? It might be easier instead of having to load a theme and reboot to see.

Hey D-Ilvil,
Do you happen to know where the text colour for the Personal Dataplan Monitor and IP address widgets comes from?
I wanted a slightly different blue so I adjusted the CSS in /opt/usr/share/themes/blackplastictheme-themedir/css/colors.css but those widgets have kept their "DarkBlue" colour setting.
I'm also wanting to make those widgets transparent but haven't heard back from the author about where the files are.
Cheers
