#N9Hacks: Theme Changer (App)
This isn’t really that surprising, that we see Themes for the N9. There is an app, suitably called Theme Changer, that allows you to apply custom themes. It is not without its issues of course. The first major hurdle was emoticons. On theme change, the emoticon files get corrupted, but there is a simple enough fix.
Currently, I have seen about 6 themes pop up around the developer community. Although the app is extremely simple to use, putting the theme files into the correct folder does require some terminal work. (Gain Root access, then enter CP -r home/user/MyDocs/theme/ /usr/share/themes/)
I should mention, there are other ways of installing themes. A few devs have packaged their themes with install scripts, so a simple terminal command is all that is needed. Soon, they will packages them as .deb files and it will be even easier.
Download this app from the Apps For MeeGo App Store , by simply searching “Theme Changer”. To get themes search forums such as TMO and FMC.
As usual, direct any questions to me either on Twitter or in the comments.

Neat! Though, again this should have been there in the first place as many other app.
The N9 proofs again to be flexible and feature rich in terms of basic functionalities. Together with the wide support, openness and falling prices, new peaks of popularity might be just ahead. I think it’s simply the best phone for those who use the phone with a technical approach and want to understand and be in control of what happens inside, and don’t need app monsters.
Keep going, N9, by far we have not seen all what’s possible!
Nokia Conversations says Nokia Car Mode coming to the N9!!! Nice!!! I like that app.
Hi Michael
i don’t have N9 but i want to know does the app keeps running in the background and shown in task manager
or
it just add options in settings menu like ‘screen orientation app’ and does not remain open.
It is an app. If you want to change theme, you select the app in the launcher screen, choose your theme, reboot the device
Some devs, like F2thaK packages their themes with a script, adding a Themes section yo settings.
So it means the app does not run in the backgroung?
background?
