Hi guys

I'm working on a new skin for Sony Ericsson k700i phone. I released a skin for this phone in past and I got good response from all of u. :)

So I decided to create another Vista theme. Its a big update over the previous release:

1. I hv tried to make all images Transparent, like taskbar, background, menubar, selection bar, etc.
2. Each image has been changed to make it more Vista-ish.
3. A few colors hv been changed and now u'll feel an Aero experience in this theme. :p

Following is a screenshot for all of u:

I hope u'll like it. I'll release is asap. If u hv any comment/suggestion, pls post it. :)

^^ thnx buddy. :D

Actually SE phones hv a Square shaped Menu button, which is shown on Desktop. So if I place a big ORB, then it looks weird behind that square menu button. I hv checked it. ;)

oh, so in older SE phones the square menu button is always on top?!!

just include the 176*220 res pics... that'll port the theme to most SE phone available.... actually u shud've used this res pics anyway. theme creator automatically downgrades for lower res phones.

all newer se phones excluding the symbian based phones, s700, k8xx haf 176*220. so one theme will fit in for most of the se phones out there.

OK guys!

After lots of request for SE W810i, today I decided to make one for this phone but believe me it wasnt that easy as I thought earlier. The theme is very much different than K700i. I had to create lots of images, resize existing images and lots of other things. But finally I was able to create a theme for this phone too. :D

Here is a preview how it looks:

I hv tried to provide as much transparency as I could. I hv tried my best and now pls post ur comments and suggestions. ;)

^^ lol. VistaVG 2.0 was not an update/fix. It was another version for x32 iconsize, same as this SE W810i theme. ;)

So u can use it w/o any problem when I release it. :D
