Description As I am lucky enough to have the new K850 I have decided that I would help all themers out by producing a fitting guide to K850 theme making. I have tried and tested these out on my phone, so they should work and fit almost perfectly.

In the .ZIP is a PSD file and a README file. I advise those who download to read through the text file before looking at the PSD. In the text file are the list of dimensions etc for some of the K850 images that differ from the K800 themes.

I hope this Guide is helpful for all those who use it and I hpe too that it will encourage those theming for K800 and W580 phones to make K850 versions too, as there are on very few differences between the themes overall.

Please check the README and have a look at the PSD and let me know if there are any problems.

Crit, comments and questions are welcome

You need to get hold of Sony Ericsson Theme Creator from here [link] and you can change the colours of text etc.. it also allows you to import images so you can put in your own backgrounds and highlights. It gives you all the dimensions if you wish to make your own in whatever editting software you have... Photoshop etc. The guide I made here is just to help out with making a good front screen so everything stays clear. If you look at my themes you will see this

thanks! does it have the way to make not square highlights?

moron12 In reply to the-imagined [2007-12-02 09:17:24 +0000 UTC]

Nope, I'm afraid not. But you can easily look up on tutorial sites at how to make 'rounded web buttons'. They will show you how to use the rounded shape tool and the pen tool to make different shaped highlights. Hope that helps you out a bit

Nice tut. Perhaps you should expand it to cover all basics of SE K850 themes?
