Hey, As some people have noticed in the past, theming/display used to be pretty broken when using Sardine. This was caused by the fact that (due to the way things were packaged/organized) we couldn't really provide any gtkrc/theme updates without providing the whole graphical package (a package that includes the themes we're working on that can't be made public).
This is, however, no longer the case. From now on, the theming components (hildon-theme-*) become an integral part of Sardine and will be kept up to date in future. No more theming breakage! To get on going, after installing Sardine, try: $> apt-get install hildon-theme-plankton-3 This will install a new, updated theme called "Plankton". It's not activated by default so you need to manually select it from the control panel. For the time being the theme actually looks like the old "purple" N770 theme. But this is temporary -- tigert from the Tango fame is almost done with the real "plankton" tango-theme which is *very* sweet and IMHO much more pleasing than other theme we bundled before. Plankton is going to become our new "development" theme and will be always public/updated. To make it all possible we introduced a small "system" of separate theme/layout/tool packages that can be used by the community to create custom themes for different versions of the platform. We'll be writing more about this in future, but for now you can check out the following packages in the Stage repository: hildon-theme-tools hildon-theme-cacher hildon-theme-layout-3 hildon-theme-plankton-3 "3" here stands for "maemo version 3" -- Bora. We'll be providing "2"-versioned stuff to build themes for stock Mistral installations too.
