Nokia E55 Theme Review: Black Grid by Kimi

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Here is another interesting s60 3rd Edition theme. It is created by Kimi a popular theme creator. Kimi’s recent themes mostly involve flower and wave like patterns. Most of the time they are based on different shades of only one color. In combination of the colors and patterns the themes mostly feel a bit relaxing. But the Black Grid seems to be one of the exceptions. Though this theme still looks very good.

This theme is pretty dark but because of the nice contrast between the black background and the white font color everything is perfectly readable. The default wallpaper of this theme is a black grid which fades from the bottom to the top until there is no grid visible at the top. This actually has a nice effect since the white home screen icons, the clock, status bar etc. are clearly visible and don’t interfere with the grid. Besides that you will find the wallpaper throughout all the menus of the phone.

The analog clock on the home screen has a fitting look. The middle part is in a glossy black while the place around the hour indicators are white.

The glossy black also reappears as the indicating color in all of the menus. This theme comes with 150 icons and 28 special folders giving the theme a somewhat unique look. The wallpaper, font color and the icons are a perfect match for each other. If you like dark themes which have good contrast this theme might be something for you.

Nokia E55 Theme Review: Touch by Flahorn

I recently stumbled over this beautiful theme for S60 3rd Edition FP1 and FP2 devices which is simply called Touch. It was created by Yan Flahorn and it seems like his main focus was to get this theme to look as close to the original Nokia 5800 theme as possible.

This theme comes in two colors red and blue. The default wallpaper is black with red or blue vertical, wavelike lines just like the original 5800 themes default wallpaper. Actually, this theme is a perfect copy of the Nokia 5800 theme just in a lower resolution.

There are about 600 icons in this theme. Icons for popular S60 applications are also included in those. And as you would expect, the icons are a carbon copy of our favorite Nokia touchscreen phone. With this many icons most of your favorite apps won’t look like as if they are out of place.

The background of the menus are in a simple black just like you would expect it to be if you are familiar with the 5800. The white font colors complete the simple and clean appearance of this theme. Battery and reception bar are in grey just like the date indicator on the home screen. The analog clock on the home screen is also pretty nice. It is grey at the top and fades slowly to black near the bottom. The simple design continues in the calender. Numbers in white indicate the current month and those in grey the previous or upcoming month.

The only difference between the blue and red version of this theme are the indicating colors while browsing the menus of your phone.

After spending a little bit time with this theme I was really surprised at how flawless it actually seems to be. The icons seem to fit and the font and background colors are perfectly in sync.
