Customizing the User Interface

Your phone lets you customize the user interface (UI) of the Standby Screen, Main Menu and My Favorites settings with your choice of downloaded themes to reflect your personality. You can download the latest themes directly into your phone from the corresponding URL.

Changing the DisplayThemes

You can change your phone’s display appearance by selecting the downloaded themes.

Tochangethedisplaythemes:

1.Select >Settings>Display>Themes.

2.Select ClassicView or available downloaded themes.

ClassicView displays the preset standard clock display selected in the Calendar/Clock menu. (See “Changing the Clock/Calendar Display for Standby Mode”on page 58.)

Note: If you change back to classic view after you have applied a theme, the phone will return to the previous clock display.
