Using themes, you can simultaneously change many elements of the phone UI, especially on Series 60 phones.Themes allow you to fully customize many visual and audio elements on your phone UI beyond the wallpaper and the ring tone. Themes are supported only on relatively new Nokia phone models:
For Nokia Series 60 phones, only the ones that were released at the same time as or after the Nokia 6600 support themes. Examples are the Nokia 6600, 6620, 7610, and 6630 devices.
For Nokia Series 40 phones, only the ones that were released at the same time as or after the Nokia 3220 support themes. Examples are the Nokia 3220, 6020, 6170, 7260, 7270, and 7280 devices.
On a Series 60 device, you can customize all UI elements in the following list via themes:
Elements of the idle screen, including the wallpaper
Menu background
UI areas, including status, list, and column areas
Icons, including application, list, and note icons
Highlights on list, grid, and input areas
Pop-up windows
System indicators, including volume, tab, signal strength, battery charge, navigation, and wait/progress bar indicators
Color scheme
Sounds, including ring tone and message alert
Screensavers
On a Series 40 device, however, your customization choices are much more limited. You can change only the ring tone, wallpaper, operator logo, screensaver, and color theme. Nokia is actively working on expanding theme support for future Series 40 devices.
On a Nokia Series 60 smartphone, you can associate a theme with any screensaver installed on the device. Mirkocrocop posted a tutorial on NokiaFree forums on how to quickly make your own screensavers from a series of images. It is verified to work on Nokia 6630 smartphones. Visit http://nokiafree.org/forums/showthread.php?p=364259 to read the tutorial. Darla Mack expanded the method and discussed how to copy screensavers from one device to another on her blog: http://darlamack.blogs.com/darlamack/2005/05/new_way_to_ make.html. Check them out!
