This topic can be used to post any guides/tutorials/other helpful info that you guys come across with regards to theme making for S60 3rd - surely one of the most complex platforms to theme.

Here is my post from another topic to get us started:

--------------------

As far as a tutorial for theming with Carbide.ui (download here), I wish that I could make one but it would take SOOOO long to do a good job and I just don't have time.

I came across a few when searching google though so you may want to try that. For example, here's a very short one that covers a few things pretty well but not the graphics parts of it:

Definitely check out these resources from forum.nokia though:

Getting Started with Carbide.ui (video screencast)

Editing Themes with Carbide.ui (video screencast)

Making Screenshots that Mirror the Actual Phone






EDIT: Great link with TONS of resources:

can i install it in windows vista? thanks!

I don't believe Carbide.ui supports Vista (download page only mentions XP SP2) but I can't say for sure.

Added a great link to a page on forum Nokia - definitely worth checking out.

excuse me.. i just want to ask how to change the application icon of "camera". i'm using carbide theme maker, and all of the icons are changed but the "camera" hasn't. it is still on its default. but i've already change it when i'm making the theme that i used now. how can i correct it? any help guys? thanks in advance.

This programa work's with windows vista!

I have it on my computer 100% working!

Ok as a windows vista user i can safely say that carbide 3.2 would not work with windows vista,i have tried many times but after reading lots of help forums i finally found a way. Carbide 3.2 will work with windows vista.After you download the programme right click the desktop icon and open from administrator and it will work
As a result i am now working on my first s60 theme and boy its not easy but it wont beat me

Great Guide Thanks ...
