Wow kerhol you really are active alot! infact everyone is! Apart from MJ where is he?

Oh ho, i see a new friend in our group.
A big warm welcome to you kerohl.

By the way guys just want to tell u that i m very much missing u all. My exams r on and it will take bout 2 weeks.
Dont worry , i will surely be in touch with u all . 'hope u guys are missing me ? if not then start from now ' just joking.

Hey! talking bout jokes, here is one , hope u all will like it -

Miss Jones is a kindergarten teacher and today is her birthday. As she walked into her classroom one of her students, Dollly, had brought a gift up to her desk.
"Guess what it is!" said Dolly.
Knowing that Dolly`s father owned a bookstore she guessed, "A Book?"
"How did you know?" asked Dolly
Next, Robert brought a gift up to Miss Smith. "Guess what it is!" said Robert.
Knowing that his parents owned a florist shop, she guessed, "Flowers?"
"How did you know ?" asked Robert
Finally, Johnny brought up a gift for Miss Smith.
"Guess what it is!" said Johnny.
Knowing that Johnny`s father owned a liquor store, and seeing that the bag was wet, she placed her fingers on the liquid and then licked them.
"Rum?" guessed Miss Smith.
"No" said Johnny.
She tasted again..."Vodka?" she guessed.
"No" said Johnny.
Once again she wet her fingers and tasted, "I know," said Miss Smith, "It`s wine."
"No!" said Johnny..."it`s a puppy."


Bye.

Tips for Skinning/Theming:
Off the top of my head, I'd say that you should have an idea of what the overall theme should look like colours and elements you would like to incorporate to your theme so that your theme will have a unified look. Of course practice and experimenting with your tool of choice is always a plus. Also you should test your theme on the mobile to check for errors and also once you release it get feed back from users.
--
About Theming Again:
I think it's safe to say that I'm retired from Nokia theming indefinitely [I hate TS3.0, bad experiences] anyway I don't expect to make Nokia themes because I have no plans to buy a Nokia. I own a SE z610i but am trying to get rid of it so that leaves me with Windows Mobile PocketPC and Smartphones [I am planning to buy a WM Smartphone again so I might go back to that, have to re-learn everything and some new things for this though... argh XML!!!]. Suffice to say I can accept theme requests for WM PocketPC [VGA or qVGA resolutions] for now.
--
I will continue to make EDM tones though as that's sort of my lil' passion.

and one thing, even in reality i'm also that energetic.. maybe much more..

Thats good You'll have more than Wildcats too, pretty soon:)

btw @kerohl, I have PS CS2 links if you want (download)

@bnycastro Im sorry to hear we have lost another from the Nokia Themers , even me, Im sick of Theme Studio but still, i somehow gather all my might and use it lol

glad you like it kerohl

if it's for free.. lol

yeah i did, tnx pat.. (i'm feelin like a woman! lol)

i miss theming nokia phones. but im enjoying theming my new k750i..

that used to be my phone b4.. it's nice though i had some problems with it that's why i changed my phone..

Kerohl, ofcouse its free

oh really?? without any expiration or limitation of use?

cya good luck with ur exams!

It seems a lot of EG members are having exams... which means you guys and gals are still in school. hmmm I suddenly feel old am I the only one working already? anyway good luck to all of ya! May the FORCE Be With You...

oh really? well don't feel too old, you're not 60 or 50 are you?! i'm 18 btw, not too young not too old.. lol

btw, how do the junior and senior admins become as they are? i mean they work on m9 like that? hehe.. sorry if being naive..

@bny-

@kerohl-well, I guess they worked hard with helping around in the forums and so on and m9 needed admins so they got the job btw, 18? and you're one of the ''old ones'' if you compare with me bj and fp
