Nokia E50

2 new themes after the firmware update

Jaro 26. January 2007 :: , , , , ,

If you are looking for the new themes (skins) that were announced in the latest Nokia E50 changelog you can find them through the Catalogs (thanks TV for the hint). Here is a short guide for those who are not very familiar with the Catalogs application:

1. Go to the Catalogs application which you’ll find in the Main Application Shell

2. First item in the Catalogs should be Nokia extra applications, select it, then scroll down and find the Themes item

3. Download both available themes (Dark Stripes and Steel). You can activate them in the Tools – Themes menu.

Although I’m not fan of modifying my phone I have to say that these themes look pretty neat – simple, sharp and professional. I switched to the Dark Stripes for now and I think I’m going to stick with it. How do you like them? Do you use custom themes or are you fine with the default one?

    [1] Andy, thanks for the links, some nice themes there!

    [3] kamini, there is a short guide in the article which describes how to download and activate these themes. It doesn’t work for you? Which phone do you have?

    I downloaded Dark stripes the day after i got my phone and i’ve had it applied ever since. IMO its much better than the default nokia Theme. reading text messages is alot easier with the black background to white letters. very nice contrast.

    I downloaded the steel after software upgrade. Still pretty bland, I have carbide UI and have made several of my own….

    I’m having a problem downloading on my E50. Is there a place where these are posted on the web such that I could get the .sis files and install them directly from my laptop?

  9. Jaro :: 11. February 2007

    Hi Jonathan, if you have problems downloading it on your E50 here is a straight link for the Dark Stripes theme: DarkStripes.sis
