Name: Fear

Creator: Xavier

Summary: All my days and times are a bit hectic at the moment but hopefully it will be sorted out my the end of the week. Anyway I saw this a day ago and thought it was worth a post so here it is. Fear is the latest theme from Xavier for the nokia N96 and from the outside it looks like another stunning theme with custom icons. One feature which I don’t thing Xavier intended is that this is one of the best themes for dealing with high amounts of light some themes become completely illegible but this theme just soaks in the light making it easy to see any menu or option. Fear is a nice theme the background image is nice and in the dark look really interesting and even though there is custom icons most of them seem the same as the default but in the end is a nice theme.

Overview: I always look forward to what themes mite come out in the future this theme justifies waiting for a new theme because fear is well worth checking out. As all our themes this one is free and you can download the theme both with and without the icons from the link below. All thanks should go to Xavier for creating this great theme and I can’t wait to see whats coming next. Read more

Nokia N96 Theme Review – Water Drops

Name: Water Drops

Creator:~lutongmakaw-917

Summary: The weekend is here again and with the summer sun, I thought it would be good to have a nice cool theme. Water Drops is a new theme that looks a little different first thing that’s different is the wallpaper which if I’m honest I don’t really like, it looks too artificial or something. When you go into the menu everything starts to work, both the wallpaper and icons work really well with the different colours making the nokia N96‘s screen look really lively. The icons need another quick note because they look really professional and I’m not sure that there is many icon sets out there that look better than these. There’s only one thing in this theme that’s better than the icons and that is the selected box and information box which look really nice with a white box around the outside.

Overview: I’m in two minds about this theme one is that the wallpaper is a bit cluttered but on the other hand everything else is perfect there’s just no other word for it. As all our themes are free this is no exception and I’m probably going to enjoy using it for a while and I think overall it is one of my favorites. You can also download this theme with the default icons but I didn’t like it so I’m going to put the full one in the download link. Read more

Nokia N96 Theme Review – Mono

Name: Mono

Creator: PiZero

Summary: PiZero has been making Themes for a while now and is regarded as one of the best theme creators out there. Mono is one of his latest themes and first impressions are very good the white text on the blue background look very neat especially in text messages and menus. There are lots of little nice effects that come with this theme like the while line at the bottom and the landscape view are pretty good. There is one serious problem and that is the icons which indervidually look good but all of them are kind of identical making the whole display very very bland. You can install the default icons but the colours just don’t go that well.

Overview: PiZero is a big boy in theme creation but a some of his best themes have a price, mono is his latest free theme and I think that effected his effort because the way all the icons look makes me dislike this theme. On a side note I would like to add that PiZero released a very nice theme called Pulsar but that cost €4 but is worth checking out. Never the less this theme is nice and is a bit different form what you normally see and is worth a download. Read more

Nokia N96 Theme Review – Dreamscene

Name: Dreamscene

Creator: Xavier

Summary: As it it Sunday and everyone’s sitting back enjoying the forumula1 and not creating applications so I thought that this is a nice time to change themesDreamscene is a clean theme for the Nokia N96 created by one of the best Theme creators in the business and this is one of the nicer ones out there. The nicest thing about this theme is the light and how it gets darker at the top and how well the clock looks. You can tell straight away that this is a professional theme by the icons which suit the phone quite well but there is other versions in the download that don’t have the icons. What I will say is that this theme isn’t exactly for practicality more for style, all the same its a great theme that you should check out

Overview: There’s one or two things some people mite find annoying is how dark it is, although I thing it adds to the style of the theme. Another thing that mite put people off is the icons because they are quite nice just not as eloquent or as relevant as the default icons. As all our themes here this is free and I would also like to the the people at Xavier for doing such a wonderful job and if you don’t like this one I’m sure Xavier have some theme that you’ll like.

Nokia N96 Theme Review – Leopard

Name: Leopard

Creator: PiZero

Summary: I’m sure you can all recognise this as being the default mac theme, since the latest firmware update the phone feels fresh and new and this them is just the theme to help express that feeling. First thing that should be noted with this theme is the creator Pizero is a dedicated theme design company. Second you should note the icons because they are very friendly and aesthetically pleasing and add to smooth feeling. Third is exactly how good the background image is and it’s the only them that looks as good in landscape as well as portrait.

Overview: I am a bit of a mac fan but only for their software, they are little pirates when it comes ot hardware but anyway this them mixes what I like with what I love(n96), The only problem that I can see with this theme is that maybe its a little too dark for some people. If you don’t like the icons then the is a version without them and they are both free so pick this one up if its your thing. Read more

Nokia n96 Theme Review – Highway

Name: Highway

Creator:  alfa

Summary: We have been reviewing nice themes here at Nokia N96 and this is one more theme for your Nokia N96 smartphone, like Green Deluxe, and our friends at Nokia N86 have also been reviewing nice themes both for Nokia N96 and Nokia N86. Everybody wants there phone to look different every now and again but finding a nice them can take a bit of time. Well here’s my recent favorite one at the moment, usually I like themes with nature but this caught my eye. Obviously its a digital image and that could put a few people off, which is fine and no matter what your taste alfa has probably created one to suit you. Anyway this them looks very nice and clear its a bit busy in the background but that’s just more to look at. This also come with a very nice set of icons which suits must application well.

Overview: I can understand that our users would want to see the time when their phone is locked but that should limit down their themes choice. If you still what to see the time from say cClock or any of the other clock themes the all you have to do is apply that themes screen saver file which is a .swi (or something close to that).
