Changing music player,equilizer and radio skins in S40V6


Please note that it is ONLY for s40v6 and NOT for s40v3, s40v5.
For changing skins in s40v6 we cannot follow the old method used for s40v5 using oxycube or mobimb, this is because in s40v6 skins are integrated in themes.

So it is clear that we need to edit the themes to change the skins.

Steps:
1. Select a theme of your choice.


2. Extract the theme with either winzip or winrar in a particular folder. Add music player,equalizer,radio skins to the folder(in which you extracted the theme).
3. Search for the one and only .xml(theme,or maybe theme_descriptor,it varies) file in the extracted files.
4. Open the .xml file using notepad.
5. Now scroll down and add the following before


       
      
            replace with musicplayer skin name
.nfl">
            replace with equalizer skin name.nfl">
        
         
            replace with radio skin name
.nfl">
        


6. Save the .xml file and again compress the whole folder to a zip archive. Now change the extension of zip to nth.

Now apply the theme and try to change the music player theme.

NOTE:
1. NOT TESTED BY ME.
2. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WOULD WORK OR NOT I WANT SOMEONE WITH S40V6 TO TEST THIS.
3. THE SAME CAN BE ACHIEVED USING CARBIDE UI.
