+<p>The term <i>theme</i> refers to a set of design elements installed in
+a package in a mobile device based on the Symbian platform that determines
+the visual appearance of the UI. Themes, also known as <i>skins</i>, only
+affect the visual appearance of the UI, the underlying architecture, interaction
+style, language settings, and general functionality are not affected. The
+Symbian platform provides an API to allow you to support themes in your applications.
+Although a mobile device based on the Symbian platform can contain several
+themes, mobile device users can only activate one theme at a time. When a
+new theme is activated, the appearance of all applications that support themes
+is altered.</p>
+<p>The following list contains some of the UI design elements that can
+change:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>display background</p></li>
+<li><p>color palette</p></li>
+<li><p>highlights</p></li>
+<li><p>pop-up window appearance</p></li>
+<li><p>ring tones</p></li>
+<li><p>common component look and feel</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Themes also support SVG-T graphics, which allow them to be scalable.
+Themes can contain bitmaps or SVG graphics or a mixture of both. </p>
+<p>For more information on the API that enables theme support in applications,
+see the Skins
+API documentation.</p>
+<p>For information on tools available for creating and modifying themes,
