11 <p>The term <i>theme</i> refers to a set of design elements installed in |
|
12 a package in a mobile device based on the Symbian platform that determines |
|
13 the visual appearance of the UI. Themes, also known as <i>skins</i>, only |
|
14 affect the visual appearance of the UI, the underlying architecture, interaction |
|
15 style, language settings, and general functionality are not affected. The |
|
16 Symbian platform provides an API to allow you to support themes in your applications. |
|
17 Although a mobile device based on the Symbian platform can contain several |
|
18 themes, mobile device users can only activate one theme at a time. When a |
|
19 new theme is activated, the appearance of all applications that support themes |
|
20 is altered.</p> |
|
21 <p>The following list contains some of the UI design elements that can |
|
22 change:</p> |
|
23 <ul> |
|
24 <li><p>display background</p></li> |
|
25 <li><p>color palette</p></li> |
|
26 <li><p>highlights</p></li> |
|
27 <li><p>pop-up window appearance</p></li> |
|
28 <li><p>ring tones</p></li> |
|
29 <li><p>common component look and feel</p></li> |
|
30 </ul> |
|
31 <p>Themes also support SVG-T graphics, which allow them to be scalable. |
|
32 Themes can contain bitmaps or SVG graphics or a mixture of both. </p> |
|
33 <p>For more information on the API that enables theme support in applications, |
|
34 see the Skins |
|
35 API documentation.</p> |
