The Black Spider-Man Logo theme!

It took me quite a while (I blame work as usual) but here it is – the original Black Spider-Man symbiote logo for your Nokia S60 phones (basically all N-series and E-series, but not the landscape models like E61/i).

Download it here and please add some comments to encourage me ok?

There’s a persistent bug where the operator logo turns [....]

How to install themes on Nokia E65

There are plenty of online complaints about people being unable to install S60 themes onto their E65. Doesn’t help that Nokia included the butt ugly Dots and the boring Nokia default theme and nothing else on the phone.

Well, here’s the solution I found online!

Preview of Black Spidey S60 theme

Here’s an initial draft of what I’m planning to do to celebrate the launch of Spider-Man 3. Only the home screen background is new here, the rest is based on the default Nokia theme. Do give me any feedback so I can [....]

Dragonball theme for S60 phones

More lessons in Adobe Illustrator thanks to this latest Nokia theme project.

1. I won’t bother trying to draw Goku from scratch again, or rather, trace him from scratch. Better to use auto-trace (Live Trace) and then create coloured segments in his clothes.
2. The curly clouds are only possible with a tablet stylus, which I had to borrow from [....]

Hellboy Theme

Hellboy theme as seen in Nokia Carbide program. Blue icons are substitute icons for your default ones.

And now, for something quite different – one of my fave characters from the maestro Mike Mignola.

The theme has a few minor bugs (certain list fonts are white instead of black) but is [....]

Doraemon theme V2.0

To continue the exposition on Doraemon, here is the latest Nokia S60 Doraemon theme I cooked up.

Yes it looks a little plain, and that’s because the lousy Carbide wouldn’t let me use all sorts of transparency and drop shadow effects from Illustrator.

Hello Kitty theme

Hello Kitty on the phone?

At the request of a HWZ forumer Enette, and in a test of how much I’ve learnt about Carbide, I created a new Hello Kitty theme. Don’t ask me why Enette wanted the cat on a black background, but it was an interesting exercise in choosing complementary colours to maintain readability.

It’s not fantastic, but [....]
