I don't know why they have chosen that path in severall apps included in N900. Since they already made the programs to take some colors from theme, why on earth they didn't make same trick for all other elements...
Its the Nokia way, but theme designers always get blamed for themes looking bad when someone doesn't hildonize a program right. People used to always report bugs on my themes because Tear used not to be hildonized right and they couldn't read some text.

Your NOSTO and itheme have a great potential themes, if and when they are finished.

D.Livil's Istylephone theme is a NICE one but it needs some colors added to it!!!!

I'm hoping sooner rather than later!! Sick and tired of the dark themes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

I've been trying my best with Nosto Theme, but I had to stop developing as I didn't find PR1.2 template anywhere (theme has no virtual keyboard). If someone can help me with this problem I will continue that theme as it's very incomplete now.

I've tried several themes from both the repos and ovi store, but none of them looked actually better than the default NSeries theme.

The closest to what I'd like were Nosto and the iStyle Light themes, although both had some stuff that I didn't like in them. Perhaps if we comined them, we could get a perfect one? I dunno. I also sort of liked the appearance of the Harmattan UI demo, but it is impossible to get to work on Maemo 5.

Is there anyone else who likes light themes and feels the same way?
im with you......all my smartphones are either pure/plain black, or white background and themes.....maybe we should request one from the theme developers like D-livil, joppu and others......who can tell? maybe they have different variations and art of WHITE???

the black and white theme in the ovi store is probably the best place to start

iStyle Light theme is a good one, BUT Conversations font colors of the "contact" makes it "I cant use it". The black version is a notch better but I think Im waiting for Carbon theme (even if its dark) to be stable and in Extras. Good post.

Could you kindly be more accurate and point out what is the color on this screenie that makes conversations "I can't use it" -state? If it's just some color you don't like, please feel free to propose some other color to use

I think the Istyle themes have to much shadow on buttons and such, i love the nosto theme and would love to have it completed.

Which itheme is unfinished ??

I'm alternating between iStyle Lightphone and Dlivil's Bright Blue and am quite happy ATM....

*edit* I love the shadowed, detailed buttons on the iStyle themes ! Makes a flat touchscreen seem so much more....tactile and interesting.
