[Tutorial] How to add media skin to your Sony Ericsson

[odbot]

Right this is a tut giving you a guide on how to add a modded media skin when theming for Sony Ericsson V4.5,V4.6,V4.7 handsets

Right you will need 4 things
1) sony ericsson theme creator (setc)
2)mp skinner you will find this if you google it as im not sure its ok to post external links in the forums
3) one image from your theme . 240x320 (portrait)
4)one image for . 320x240 (landscape)

first off make your theme as normal using setc. When your all done save the theme on your computer

next open mpskinner and load your theme into it,you will notice that the screens dont change

now import your images 240x320 portrait and set the colours the same as your theme then import 320x240 landscape

now you are all most done check that you have made all changes that you need

If you check the xml lines you will see your colours but no images , this is normal now save and its done BUT NEVER load the theme back into setc as it will break the xml code and you will loose your skinned media always check everything works by loading it onto a phone for testing
