Hi ,I tried it,all of the tabs and icons have dissapeared.Only the new background and the bottom toolbars showed up,and the time. It seems I need to reinstall everything again..   :'(

Update: I have reinstalled everything,and before rearranging the icons' place and order,I installed your theme.It's a way different from the other 4 ,I hope my wife will like it too   8)
Thanks for sharing!!

ThatWikiGuy,I liked it,but had to change the background to green,because my wife didnt like it at all. (too dark)
I thought she would b amazed,but was gonna change it back to the original straight away with a grin on her face  :D
I think,if I just wanna change it back to the originak,I would loose all my icons again,and there would be nothing to click on...The browser's icon is bit boring,doesn't change when hovering on it with the cursor.

I like this a Lot
do you think you could  make me a theme with clean lines as in none of those little icons at the labels
and clean icons.......... as in just the profile please so when the back ground is changed the icons do not look
out of place?

hi
thanks for the feedback
yes i am doing some more themes i am halfway through a couple at the moment (I was doing them for my own use as not many people seemed interested)  these are not so dark as m first attempt as it was made specifically for my daughter to reignite her interest in her elonex (her current interest is her i_pod touch)
kisma thanks esp. one of my ongoing is a "bare" theme i will pm you later by all means if you let me know your idea i will see what i can do bear in mind i am no graphic designer or software designer by any means!!!
the other problem i have is the icon for the power lead is changed and it remains so even if you go back to the default theme. I have also discovered  that because the games were not part of the system when first released but are add_ons then these retain my changed icons.
to do as you ask you need to consider this when you decide to change themes either modify them and go through the trouble of changing them back or to have these four icons as default (input please)
one of my ongoing is i have taken the style of these icons and created a set to compliment them so i can use this set as the backbone to other themes
i have noticed that the trendac machines only have 3 pages and you navigate using arrows ......i am nearly finished in making my i_theme compatable.

1 make a new directory eg dir
2 put your required files into that directory
3 in xterm type mkxap from that directory ie..cd/dir then  mkxap whatever thingy    ( =whatever what you want the name to be  +
thingy  the name of your file

am i right in thinking that.
i put the files in another folder, (so if the file is located at /share/applications i put it in /<temp folder>/share/applications)
i'll test it as im unsure
