Quite hard to make one because Maemo 5 UI has some elements hardcoded and they can't be changed. That's why white themes don't just work because you can't change every color.

But I thought that it has been sorted out with PR 1.2.

For me even making a theme for N900 is hard. Making it light is even harder.
I've been trying my best with Nosto Theme, but I had to stop developing as I didn't find PR1.2 template anywhere (theme has no virtual keyboard). If someone can help me with this problem I will continue that theme as it's very incomplete now.

The funny thing is back before Maemo5 you couldn't do dark themes due to hard coloring things light. I don't know if maemo will ever give us full control of everything so we can make good themes in any color.

I don't know why they have chosen that path in severall apps included in N900. Since they already made the programs to take some colors from theme, why on earth they didn't make same trick for all other elements...

I'm curious, is there a decent theme that utilizies light colours (or plain white) as its dominant color?
I've tried several themes from both the repos and ovi store, but none of them looked actually better than the default NSeries theme.
The closest to what I'd like were Nosto and the iStyle Light themes, although both had some stuff that I didn't like in them. Perhaps if we comined them, we could get a perfect one? I dunno. I also sort of liked the appearance of the Harmattan UI demo, but it is impossible to get to work on Maemo 5.
Is there anyone else who likes light themes and feels the same way?
