I just got a new 8100 and the first thing I noticed is that SMS/MMS messages are just lumped into the Messages folder in most themes. The only themes that lists them separately are O2's thanks John Clark & jibi).

Not to be picky, but what I really want is Zen with an SMS/MMS folder and separate icons in the notification banner - just like my 8700. So I figured I could do that by creating my own theme.

So I installed Theme Builder (and all the pre-reqs), created a Theme based on Zen, and was able to add an SMS/MMS folder to the default icons list. I figured I'd done what I wanted but when I loaded it onto my 8100 the icon for SMS/MMS is not there... (not even hidden).

Since that failed I figured I'd try and modify the O2 theme that works - but Theme Builder does not let me open other .cod files :(

So, can anyone tell me an how to get an SMS/MMS icon/folder into a Zen theme on an 8100?

Cheers

did you try a hard reset (battery pull)? I know that is needed to make themes made by some programs show up in the themes section of options.

the theme I created shows up, it just does not have an SMS/MMS folder/icon

oh....dunno then....maybe post in the "ringtones, themes, and wallpapers" section of the forum...perhaps you'll have more luck there.

Can't be done.

Not that this helps you, but on my 8800 there is an option under the messages app called "SMS and Email Inboxes". The available options: "Combined", "Separate" or "Theme Controlled". This option isn't available on the 8100, but at least RIM is addressing the need going forward.
