I rarely, if ever, install themes. Most of the vile creations floating around on the internet make me sick to my stomach and a large percentage of those bastard child abominations provide poor contrast with text. When I stumbled across this theme on Zach’s Symbian In Motion blog, I knew I had to make it mine. Zach usually doesn’t talk about themes, instead he runs a site that reviews S60 applications; subscribe to it if you haven’t already, it is an absolute must read for S60 users.

I’ve had the Nokia N82 since Wednesday, review will go up sometime this coming week, and the “Warm Titanium” color as they like to call it didn’t really mesh well with the default theme. All the other themes on the device were mere color variants and one of them was absolutely hideous, but when I saw “Bronze Cubic by Taieb” I knew this would become my default theme. I’m not going to post screenshots since I believe it is that combination of device + theme that delivers a beautiful experiance.

Instead I offer you two, fairly high resolution images, which you’re going to have to check out after the jump:

Thanks Zach.

Yes folks the clock is right, I’m awake at 9:47 on a Saturday. Back to sleep I go.

    Do you like the alternate icons?

    I prefer the regular ones. I never download a theme that doesn’t use them.

    From these screens it looks as if the keypad light changes as well. Like the prism
