========================================================================== RELEASE NOTE for SERIES 60 THEME STUDIO FOR SYMBIAN OS 17.02.2005 v1.2.1 ========================================================================== For product support and the latest release notes, please visit in Nokia's Developer Home at http://www.forum.nokia.com/ Product Description: ==================== Series 60 Theme Studio (for Symbian OS) is a PC tool to create theme packages for Series 60-based devices (from Series 60 release 2.0 onwards). The tool allows the user to mix or change the properties of ready-made theme components and bitmap images. However, the tool is not meant to create or extensively edit bitmaps. A commercial pixel paint program should be used together with the tool for significant image editing. The created theme packages can be deployed to a device via infrared, or can be saved to hard drive and then deployed to a device using some other method supported by both the phone and the PC (e.g. bluetooth). Features: ========= - View theme packages stored in the computer - Create a theme package from scratch - Create a theme by mixing ready-made components and/or self-created ones - Preview a previously created theme - Edit a previously created theme (ready-made SIS packages cannot be edited; the source file is required) - Send a theme package to a terminal using infrared New features: ============= - Support for ringing tone and message alert sounds - Support for softmasks - Support for animations - Support for new Series 60 release 2.6 components - Support for 3rd party application icon customization - Support for DRM enabled theme packages - Support for sis signing - In 1.2.1: - Export / Import failure has been resolved. - Sound file send to the phone is now named according to the original file name (space character in the name is changed to underscore). System Requirements: ==================== - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 2 or Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP3 - 600 MHz or faster processor - 256 MB RAM - 50 MB disc space - Display supporting at least 16 bit color at 1280 x 1024 resolution - JRE version 1.4.2 (included in the installation package) Compatibility Issues: ===================== - Theme packages created with the tool are compatible with phones based on Series 60 release 2.0 onwards. Known Problems and Limitations: =============================== - Certain indexed bitmaps (like 4 bit 10 colour indexed images) show incorrectly on the phone, even though the tool shows them correctly. As a workaround, you can use non-indexed bitmaps instead. - Changing the PC display resolution while Series 60 Theme Studio is open may left some items hidden in the tool. Change PC display resolution before opening Series 60 Theme Studio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2004-2005 Nokia Corporation.
