One of Sony Ericsson’s strong points was its customization feature mainly through its themes. Its theme creator software while freely available in the Developer section of their website it needed a grpahically inclined geeks to churn out some visually amazing theme. But the new version of Theme Creator V 4.0, has made theme creating a very easy task even for a computer dummy. Select the phone you have and the software provides with a wizard option for dummies and a more step-by-step hands on approach for pros. Just selecting a nice background and selecting colors matching with that made the theme come alive. Another nice option was the ready made effects available for various buttons giving it a 3D or embossed effect making the theme more PRO like.

Personalized ringtones and message tones can be set making it a more personalized theme. But the icons on the main menu can’t be changed.And   also the Media players skin cannot be styled, pity since I’ve seen lots of themes on the net where the media player skin was styled to match the main theme.To make sure the world knows about your creation our name, url, email can be entered as author details when you decide to share it. Here is a Flower theme which I created. :-)

Ubuntu ThemesI’ve come across many dedicated theme sites for my mobile phone, but here at Deviantart there are high quality themes, wallpapers not only for your phones but also for your pc, laptop.

One of my favourties was a ubuntu theme and my kudos to all the designers out there for their creativity. Here you can find a list of themes for K550i (can be used for K750i,W810i,W550i,K610i etc). For other phones just use the search bar in the site, you wont be disappointed.

For people who want more customization like changing their icons on the main menu here is a excellent site with various menu packs and here is a tutorial to make it work. As a word of caution please follow the instructions carefully before proceeding with any of these menu modding stuff.

If you are interested in sharing any of your work or some good sites for such goodies just post your comments here !! :-)
