How to put themes on your Sony Ericsson S500i

It is pretty straightforward to start customising your phone – most people will have tried out new ring tones, or set a photo as their wallpaper. But you can also change the look of your menu and the colour of the buttons and icons using different themes downloaded from the Internet.

A theme changes the whole style of your handset in one go so you don’t need to worry about spending ages designing it yourself. Some themes even come with new ringtones, message alert tones and screensavers. It is very likely that your network provider will start you off with a selection of themes for you to try out.

To change a theme, press the centre button while at the standby screen to enter the main menu. Scroll down and to the right to highlight the Setting icon and press Select .

Now press Right twice to enter the Display tab and scroll down once to highlight Themes and press Select.

Now you’ll see a list of all the themes you currently have – to set a new theme, simply highlight it and press Set.

If you are already using another picture as a wallpaper, don’t worry – you’ll be asked whether you want to use the theme wallpaper or just keep your own. After a couple of moments, your theme will be set and you can check out and show off your newly personalised phone.
