what? no vector? nope, not today last friday I bought a mobile phone from my sister, the Nokia 6110 Navigator ( [link] ) since I didn't have a mobile phone yet. yesterday I downloaded some things for the 6110 but I just couldn't find a nice skin, and then I found OwnSkin.com where you can make your own Nokia skin, so I tried it out. but damn, it took me 7 friggin hours to make the theme xD but I'm satisfied with the end result (though there are a few errors...) but since the skin took me so long to make I decided to share the skin here
one thing I really need to make clear is that I DID NOT MAKE THE ORIHIME INOUE IMAGE YOU SEE IN THIS SKIN!!! it was made by ( [link] ) I really loved the image when I saw it the first time, so I really wanted to do something with it, and now I have xD
I may make a new theme again, but am not sure about that yet. I also may do a v2 to fix all the errors, but probably not.
you can view the OwnSkin page for this skin [here]
DOWNLOAD THE .RAR FILE AND EXTRACT THE .RAR FILE TO A FOLDER. GO TO NOKIA.COM AND DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM NOKIA PC SUITE. INSTALL NOKIA PC SUITE, CONFIGURE THE PROGRAM, AND IF NEEDED UPDATE THE PROGRAM. NOW START NOKIA PC SUITE AND CONNECT YOUR MOBILE PHONE TO YOUR DESKTOP WITH THE USB CABLE. THE MOBILE PHONE AND NOKIA PC SUITE WILL SYNCHRONISE AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER FILES. NOW THAT YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND NOKIA PC SUITE ARE CONNECTED SEARCH THE ICON MENU FOR THE PROGRAM/.SIS INSTALLTION ICON. CLICK THAT ICON AND YOU'LL BE TAKEN TO A SCREEN WHERE YOU NEED TO SELECT THE PROGRAM/.SIS THAT YOU WANT TO INSTALL. SELECT THE INOUE.SIS FILE AND INSTALL IT. THE INSTALLATION WILL BE MOSTLY DONE ON THE MOBILE PHONE. THE MOBILE PHONE MAY SAY THAT THE .SIS COULD BE DANGEROUS, OR THAT THE SKIN MIGHT NOT WORK ON THE MOBILE, BUT FOR ALL JUST PRESS YES. WHEN THE INSTALLATION IS DONE YOU CAN CONFIGRE YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND SELECT INOUE AS THEME.
ERRORS:
1) SOME MULTIPLE SELECTION BARS MAY HAVE ALL CHOICES IN WHITE SO IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE WHICH SELECTION YOU'RE CURRENTLY ON (AS SEEN IN THE 7TH PICTURE). 2) NOT ALL ICONS HAVE BECOME ORANGE AND MAY BE IN A DIFFERENT COLOR. 3) THE MEDIA PLAYER LOOKS DIFFERENT THEN THE IMAGE SHOW HERE. 4) THE RINGING VOLUME PAGE HAS THE WHITE AREAS COMPLETELY WHITE. 5) THE CALCULATOR TOOL HAS BLUE ICONS, WHICH COULD NOT BE CHANGED (AS SEEN IN THE 13TH PICTURE).
THERE MAY BE A FEW MORE ERRORS THAT I MAY NOT BE AWARE OF, BUT THOSE ARE MOSTLY PROBABLY VERY SMALL ERRORS.
EXTRA COMMENTS:
THIS SKIN WAS FIRST MADE JUST FOR MY PERSONAL USE. BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND WORK THAT I SPENT MAKING IT HAS ME DECIDED TO SHARE THE SKIN. THE ORIHIME INOUE PICTURE SHOWN IN THE SKIN AND THIS IMAGE WAS NOT MADE BY ME BUT BY MESSA ( [link] ) BECAUSE THIS SKIN WAS FIRST MADE FOR PERSONAL USE IT WAS MADE IN THE WAY THAT I'D LIKE. TO GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SKIN I SUGGEST YOU TO USE "LIST" AS MENU STYLE AND TURN OFF THE "ACTIVE STANDBY". THIS SKIN MAY WORK ON OTHER NOKIA MOBILE PHONES, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND THAT OUT YOURSELF. THIS SKIN WAS MADE FOR THE NOKIA 6110 NAVIGATOR SO THE SKIN WAS MADE IN THE 6110 NAVIGATOR STYLE. THE PROGRAM THAT I USED TO MAKE THE SKIN WAS PHOTOSHOP CS AND OWNSKIN ( [link] ) IF YOU GO TO THAT SITE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN NOKIA STYLE ASWELL. THE .RAR THAT YOU DOWNLOADED CONTAINS THE BACKGROUND IMAGES, A .GIF IMAGE SHOWING SCREEN PICTURES, THE PSD FILE I SAVED, THE INOUE.SIS FILE AND A README.TXT FILE. YOU CAN OPEN THE .PSD TO SEE ALL THE SMALL IMAGES USED FOR THIS SKIN, BUT I CAN WARN YOU NOW THAT IT'S A VERY MESSY PSD!
you create your own reality. if you dont create your own reality, then someone is doing it for you. if someone is doing it for you then that would explane why your reality sucks
well, it works on a few other nokia types aswell, to be precise: 5320 XpressMusic, 5700 XpressMusic, 6110 Navigator, 6120 Classic, 6121 Classic, 6124 classic, 6210 Navigator, 6220 classic, 6290, E51, E66, N76, N78, N79, N81, N81 8GB, N82, N85, N95, N95-3NAM, N96, N96-3
but I can't say for sure if the skin will still look good on the other types...
lol, I actually didn't xD I did know I could connect the phone to a desktop to transfer stuff like video's, music or picture to/from the phone, but I didn't know anything more then that.
but I was thinking "hmm, Nokia is pretty popular, maybe they also have skins for a Nokia" so I googled it, and I found OwnSkin.com I also installed Nokia PC Suite and noticed I could install things like programs (and skins xD) then I browsed through OwnSkin.com and found some pretty good skins, but there just weren't any that I really liked. so I thought "OwnSkin.com offers Nokia skins made by people, maybe they also know how to make them" and when I checked I found out they had an online tool for that, so I used the tool to make my own skin, downloaded it, then installed it on my phone and voila I had my skin xD
