Enjoy :|

.edit
And the thing what mostly worries me is that that bug has 9 votes. It should have at least 30 or is it that user have never used any other mobile UI than what Nokia has offered.

11 now (;

Yes, the brackets should go there too

And these would simply appear below each other emulating a console IRC client.

On a back background and a white or green font. Also with font-family: monospace if possible.

I would do this myself, but the CSS and HTML files look like mess.

I think that i have requested something like that in this thread. I failed to spot anything but if there is this kind of theme then thatīs wonderful. One reason that scrolling in that view is so slow is all fancy CSS-styling. Just plain simple and effective color coded way of displaying sms/im messages is IMHO The right way of doing it :D

If you use any of my themes from this thread, they are not slow by any means.

Actually I know this. Look my post. Itīs not communityīs job* to fix stuff what Nokia has managed to fck up. You have made workaround that you can suggest politely and say that current way what Nokia has done is broken, but community has managed to made temporary/workaround for this.

*Bit wrong way of saying that it is but itīs not :) Makes sense doesn't it? Yes community can fix things but after all itīs the mother who should show the way and set the bar high on quality of things.

no its the other way round. Nokias default is very quick to scroll. It pauses if you scroll up in a long conversation. That is because it fetches history and displays. So basically when u move into a conversation, it only keeps a certain amount of messages in buffer.

community just realized certain css elements were no go because of low processing power. Actually at 800Mhz even some of those elements were kindda working but still visibly slow.

@niqbal,
So we probably have case YMMV because on my N900 scrolling is laggy no question about it. And btw. as end user i do not care how it really is implemented or how hard is it to make smooth only thing that i have noticed and what iīm interested is that on my screen itīs slow and seems that iīm not the only one :|

Wonderful thing thought is that it looks like we have workaround for this.

actually what i am trying to say is, if you are referring to hiccups/pauses that occur while you scroll in a long conversation, there is no community work around Mostly the code is hidden is one reason. Second reason is its in hard core javascript and using mozillas javascript engine is not going to help eleviate the unsmoothness.

if its visibly slow like you scroll and it doesnt wanna move. Then css file has elements that are causing it. Thats a community-driven problem. Bad coding by some joe. Here workaround is possible of course.

hope it helps u understand what i was trying to say.

Do you know what page the resolution is on? I have read some of them, and I have done a search but going through 59 pages is going to really take some time.

I did get the theme directly from here, but to be fair its never really been fast anyway, I find all the scrolling throughout the entire phone laggy, and yes it is nokias job to fix... doubt they will thou unfortunately.

Ok ive been through and I found the "fix". I used the one on page 37 of this page, and then had a play with it.

Ive literally just took the opacity and shadow away and it is a lot better... guess it will do!

Thanks guys.
