I've been playing round with sonys theme studio for the wifes fone and noticed that I can download a theme, open it with the studio and change what ever I like. Not very security concious at all.

Jan 30 2009, 03:32 AM
@NVDVS1 - SE's theme creator has always been like that, unlike Nokia's TC which requires the original TDF file. SE's TC also used to have an original author tag which was permanent so you could so who the original author of a theme was, not sure if that feature is still implemented.
On the issue of TMC entries, I think we should clarify that the theme entered has to be 100% original created by you, standby images can be used from other sources, but bars etc should be ur own work you created and not used form 3rd party sources, wherever they may come from.

so, Ill either have to pull out.....or......use the M9 s60 tc, and submit a very basic theme!
I have been trying all week to figure out what is going on, and why its not working, ive tried remaking it, ive tried
carbide ( but my transparents, dont appear transparent)

Hi NVDVS1, I can install it, but then it freezes my phone, I used the <url snipped> tc.

I have made numerous themes in that ---skin site and they all say they aren't compatable, but still work. Are you using the simple or advanced creator? I must admit I haven't used that place in ages, it runs like a sack of crap. Anyway back to the prob' What fone you got? when I installed themes on my card in my N73 they were always sluggish to respond. Try the other creator, simple or advanced to see what happens. Try selecting a different server ( can you still do that? ) and create a theme with justa backgroud in the advanced creator, if it works, go back and edit it. Good luck.

No probs' if adonis is listening, is our creator .svg compatable? if so inkscape is a great tool for icons, highlights. Free too. The quality of using this just for highlist and bars with shading is amazing.

Hasn`t that always been part of the rules?

Edit: 100% may not be working, as a lot of people use textures and patterns from "3rd party sources".
My suggestion would be that all used sources need to be given with the entry. Just a simple link to the original image and textures used in the theme.

I think the rules were relaxed slightly, agree with your points there. I think standby images found on the internet are allowed using services via google etc, but bars and highlights should be created by the member.

@all
Cute_heart's entry is now withdrawn until further notice. Reason: the use of components from another theme. Admin will discuss this issue with him privately.
There are a few things we need to clarify.
-
the use of online theme creator is allowed in this week's competition because I personally granted the permission to some nokia themers who asked (Carbide is a powerful tool but it's not very user friendly). At that time, the fact that certain online theme creators come with pre-made graphics completely escape me. This permission will be reconsidered and we will let you know the final answer in the next TMC. Our opinion is that themers must make their own clocks, softkeys, highlights etc, not simply select / extract from another person's work.
Please be reminded that
TMC is a platform where themers around the world create a theme, collect & post comments, make friends, have fun, and improve their theming skills. It's not all about winning, and the use of components from another theme is strictly prohibited. I'm sure you would agree that it's fairly difficult to escape the eyes of so many talented & skillful themers here ...

I almost agree... The thing is, that i've got lots of textures and stuff saved in Photoshop. Also I saved lots of pics on my PC, that I downloaded over time. I couldn't tell anymore where I got them from...
But of course a contest doesn't make much sense, if most of the theme's not made by the competitor!! Actually I thought that should be clear without telling it...
