Hi all,

I have the pop icon pack by ind190 in the tpf format...I tried importing it to my theme...but no 3rd party icons like xplore show on my phone...i took the following steps :

1. created a new workspace
2. imported my theme to the workspace
3. copied icons.xml from ind190 to my theme's project folder, where the .tdf file is present.
4. imported the .tpf file into the workspace...it creates a new theme called pop icons by ind190...i "take content from" that theme...now i have a lot of icons defined in the THIRD PARTY ICONS Definition Tool...also all default icons are now pop icons in the preview...
5. i create a package(.sis file) and install it on my phone...all the default icons are pop icons (messaging, contacts, themes etc) but third party icons are default (xplore, slick, gravity etc.)

can anyone tell me what i have done wrong ? :hardcry:

Thanks in advance !

hi,What's the version of carbide you use 3.0 or 4.0 if its either of it importing .tpf directly to workspace will solve the problem.Check preference- carbide.ui- thirdparty icons and see if there is a long list.also check icons-application icons and see if all icons are skinned.

i use v3.4
there is a long list in the third party icons tool
some icons are skinned in applications like contacts but some like add contacts are not...
and by directly importing you mean...File->Import ? i do that...

still no third party icons...:hardcry:

Hi,its only default icons.I would like to see if there is any third party icons in the list.so kindly scroll down and take another screenshot.

Hi another solution is close the current project and then carbide.
now copy and paste icons.xml in C:\Program Files\Nokia\Carbide.ui Theme Edition 3.4\Eclipse\plugins\com.nokia.tools.theme.s60_3.4. 0.0\data\config
location where you install carbide
then open carbide followed by project file and see preference in carbide

Hi,You are welcome.The error regarding item skin already present is due to duplicate icons.you may remove it by installing ultraedit software and open themepackage.txt from package output folder in workspace and by browsing corresponding error number and deleting it from carbide.
