Hi,
In PR1.2 there is a possibility to theme IM conversation view.
See example package at:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/shaded-chat-theme/

I'm not a graphics/css guy, so I hope to see better ones soon.
Would be nice if there was a matching chat theme for the nice desktop themes out there. Using Matrix theme now, so the colors don't really match my chat theme.

Same here I'm afraid. If I open conversations - settings - there is only the option of "Receive SMS delivery reports" and selecting the "SMS centre number". Apologies if I am missing something obvious.

Menu only shows up once you install a conversations theme.
Also, this theme only changes IM. Not SMS conversations.

This is great that we can so easily change the conversation themes. Hope we see more varities soon. =)

Yeah, same here. Do we have to install a "conversations theme" to be able to see the menu entry?

@Patola: Yes, the menu doesn't appear if there is only one (default) to select.

@MaltedVomit: There is no built-in support for SMS conversation theming. Not sure why. Maybe they wanted to make it harder for a casual user to install a buggy theme that would break their SMS view. SMS being considered more critical than IM.

Without the built-in support, the theming, or rather, changing the theme, isn't as easy. But the default css/html files can still be edited. I've added a background image for SMS on my own phone, only a one-liner in both css and html.
But if you start editing those files, make sure you keep original handy, in case something goes wrong, or you want to revert to default.
