Importing a UI theme

A Series 40 UI theme package provides custom visual and audio motifs for mobile phones. The motifs can include a ring tone, color scheme, and images for a wallpaper, background, and screen saver.

To create a theme, create a theme package (.nth file) using Carbide.ui Series 40 Theme Edition Carbide ui Theme Edition. For instructions on creating and saving a theme package, see Carbide.ui Series 40 Theme Edition User’s Guide.

To load a UI theme on the SDK:

  1. Perform one of the following actions:

    • From the Emulator menu bar, navigate to File > Open. A new window appears to browse the required theme. Browse to theme file or enter the path and name of the local .nth file and then click OK. This copies the theme file to the SDK instance’s C/predefgallery/predefthemes directory.

    • From the Emulator menu bar, navigate to File > Open URL. Enter the URL of the .nth file you want on the website and click OK. This copies the theme file to the SDK instance’s C/predefgallery/predefthemes directory.

    • Using the SDK Browser, navigate to a website that hosts the .nth required file.

  2. To apply the theme, select Yes in the SDK. The UI theme is applied to the mobile phone.
