The Series 40 and Series 60 themes are packaged in .nth and .sis files, respectively. You can either create your own theme packages using the tools described in this hack or purchase and download commercial theme packages from a web site. You can install the theme packages via the following means:
You can download and install the themes directly Over The Air (OTA) via the phone's Services browser. It is, however, necessary to set the correct MIME types on a download server: application/vnd.symbian.install for Series 60 theme *.sis files; and application/vnd.nok-s40theme for Series 40 theme *.nth files.
You can transfer the theme package files to the device via Bluetooth and IR. Once you open the message containing the file, the phone prompts you to install it.
You can transfer a theme package to a phone by sending it as an MMS message attachment to the phone. You will be prompted to install it when the message is opened. The only limitation that could apply is if there is a size restriction on the delivery mechanism, such as the 100KB limit often placed on MMS messages. In this case, you will need to consider the size limitation when you create the theme.
You can install multiple themes on a device and switch between them at any time.
