I have now uploaded a new version of the app, which can be easily installed. It also has fixes for a few problems. No new feature as of now.

I am also trying to get the app onto extras-devel.

Having used Filebox to investigate the folder structure it seems your app just places a new folder in the HTML folder but the exsisting SMS themes script seem to sit just in the HTML folder, without being inside a further folder, and so the new theme scripts seems to be ignored by my phone which just picks up the exsisting scripts.

It just unzips the folder and move it to the required place. If a theme file has different folder structure, it can easily break. Now, an easy way we can fix this is to repackage the themes as per ConversationModder compatible format and upload it to the wiki.

An alternate way would be for the app to read the theme file and act accordingly. Now, if it is the second way, I need ideas on how to proceed, seeing as there can be a large variety of theme files present and how can we support all of them?

I want ideas and opinions.




This should work correctly. Unless you're using a theme which do not show our names by default. In this case, even if we use the change own name option, the change wont be shown in conversations as the theme has disabled own name.

Tell me, what theme are you using?

Maybe in a future version, I can add option to enable our name if it isn't there?

BTW, new update is now uploaded!
Version 1.5.2
New features:

• change text color of message
• change color of contact name
• the menu loops until we cancel it.

What can be expected in the future?
Option to change our name in SMS window from 'You:' <-----DONE
Support for own avatar
Option to change color schemes <--------------------------------IN PROCESS
.Deb file to easily install scripts <----------------------------------DONE

Perhaps you could update your first post to explain the position as I see there's another poster on the other link with a similer issue and he does no is way around the N900, unlike me!, from his posts on Nokia discussions.

Clealry it is down to each developer but now you have got your conversation modder working correctly perhaps it would be wise for the other theme developers to develope their themes to wrok with your modder so they can be easily intsalled by usuers like me?

Thanks for all your assistance
