596196 2007-09-29 05:45:00 Does anyone know either:
- How to delete themes so it becomes black text on white background OR
- What program to use and where to find it to create a theme?

REASON
I am becoming more and more long sighted. Can read black on white on the screen without glasses with some squinting. Have to reach for glasses when there is a lack of contrast - eg black on blue.

I've got rid of the wallpaper on the main screen and have no problems but texts are driving me nuts.

Phone is Nokia 6155
Themes have an .nth extension

596197 2007-09-29 06:07:00 I have the same phone, I'm not sure if there is a way to delete/add themes, but out of the three pre-installed, the "Silver.nth" is the best in the way of good contrast. (Black on silver.) I guess your probably already using that one?

Have you also tried enlarging the size of the text? (Text messages, message settings, other settings, message font size, =large).

Blue or grey are both hard to read - eyesight is definitely on the fuzzy side for reading. White is the best by far.

I may have found the answer by stumbling round the Nokia site. But it is on a go slow at the moment. Either that or the part I want has crashed.

596199 2007-09-29 06:37:00 The Nokia site has an annoying habit of doing that. Good luck finding what you want! ;) wratterus (105)
596200 2007-09-29 06:44:00 The Login to the forum (yep, you have to register first) seems to have crashed.

But the page I've found is:
www.forum.nokia.com (http:)

And the Theme Studio version is: The Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio 1.2

Whether I'll get to try it out and find out if it will work could take a while!

Cellphones <sigh>. All I want to do is use the thing easily. Built in extra bonus "features" are a right pain.

596201 2007-09-29 10:58:00 It works!

3 hours to login into the nokia site and download the program. 3 minutes to create a new theme.

Opened Photoshop, created a white box, then used it as the background.

Maybe now I can stop trying to rear-end cars on the motorway whilst squinting at the thing when it goes off.

Oh the joys of needing reading glasses.

Now to go back to playing and seeing if I can improve it further - giant font? That might be pushing it...
