How to change themes on your Sony Ericsson Z770i

Change the look and feel of your Sony Ericsson Z770i quickly and easily by installing new themes - we show you how

You can transform the look and feel of your Sony Ericsson Z770i quickly and easily by changing its theme - something you can do in few moments with just a few button presses.

The Themes feature included on the Z770i lets you change the whole appearance of your phone's display and menu system. Most themes include a wallpaper image, colour scheme and screensaver. 

The Sony Ericsson Z770i comes pre-loaded with a bunch of swappable themes. You can also download new ones directly from Sony Ericsson straight to the phone, or from other content providers such as your operator or other websites.

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).

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