Carbon Theme for Nokia e61i
I have been not updating a blog as regularly as I was last month primarily due to extensive traveling. Thought I would catch up, here is a nice new carbon theme based on the Ferrari theme by Babi. I usually prefer the default icon based theme to the developer icon’s since the default icons show the actual program icons on the device. Added it in the e61i themes section. Enjoy!

Noticed you have the native S60 browser icon stuck in your quick-launch bar? - if you press and hold the 0 (zero) key while in the stand-by screen, you will be taken straight to the native browser = you can use the valuable quick-launch spot for something else, e.g. the DivX player…

The theme looks great, but has the same flaw as every (and I do mean *every*) other theme that I’ve tried, except the ones done by Nokia. This flaw is, I’m sure, very easy to correct.
To reproduce:
1. Start the web browser.
2. Select any bookmark & wait for page to load.
3. Click options (left soft key) and choose “Go to web address”
The resulting text box is white, with white selected as the text font. You can then not see what you’re typing. The simple solution is to make sure that the text box background is not white, or the font colour is not white.

Hi danetham, thats strange I just tried it I got white light highlighter with charcoal gray the same color as the theme in the background.I clicked on the right side of the dpad it remained charcoal background and the font text color white the readability is perfect white over charcoal gray. I am using the browser in full screen mode though.

@Ali - I am observing different behaviour on my E61 v3.0633.09.04 phone. Initially - just after step 3, the text is white over light gray (selected), but when I move the joystick left or right, the text becomes white on a white background (unselected) and I can’t see anything.
Maybe this is then a flaw on the E61, in which case I apologize that I said the flaw was with the theme!
BTW, I also use my browser in full-screen mode.

[...] shortcuts in the most casual and unusual of situations. In my case, while reading an entry on the S60 Devices blog about a new E61i theme, I stumbled upon a comment made by a reader (Lehmann) after observing that [...]

Hello.
This is very nice thems. But, if it is possible change colour power and gsm indicator?

I’ve checked the theme on my E61i, dantheman, and it isn’t a problem with the theme. However, as Henzo says, the power & gsm indicators need changing. They are unreadable in their current form and, unfortunately, make the theme unusable! Personally, I would prefer to do away with the red elements as well. Just the carbon effect is great.
