How to change themes on your Sony Ericsson K660i

You can change the look and feel of your Sony Ericsson K660i quickly and easily by changing its theme - we show you how simple it is

It's easy to transform the look and feel of your Sony Ericsson K660i simply by changing its theme - something than can take just a few seconds, and only a few button presses

The Themes feature provided on the K660i lets you change the whole appearance of your phone's display and menu system. Most themes include a wallpaper image, colour scheme and screensaver. You can also get themes that add 'haptic feedback' (a small vibrating buzz) when you press menu keys. Several of these come pre-loaded.

The Sony Ericsson K660i comes with a selection of pre-loaded swappable themes for your handset. You can also download new ones from Sony Ericsson itself directly from the phone, or from other content providers such as your operator or other websites.

There are numerous different themes available for download - either free or paid for - with a wide variety of categories and subjects to choose from, so get exploring...

To select or change a theme:

  • From the standby page select Menu (Figure 1)
  • From the main Menu screen select Settings (Figure 2).
  • Scroll across to Display.
  • Scroll down to Themes (Figure 3) and press Select.
  • Scroll down to the theme you want to use and press Set (Figure 4).

Alternatively, on the Themes menu page, select the Sony Ericsson option at the top of the list to access a selection of new themes to download. This will involve going online so be prepared for additional data charges if you are not on an unlimited data plan.

Once you've selected your Theme, it will take a few seconds to be set (Figure 5), but then your menus, wallpaper and display colour scheme will all change (Figure 6).

Press the End key to get back straight to your new-look standby screen (Figure 7).

The main menu has also altered, with haptic feedback present on some themes (Figure 8).

You can easily swap the Theme back to the original, or any of the others, simply by following the same procedure described above.
