Hi,

I've had this myself using the Studio and it is easy to fix when you know the cause.

I discussed this with others on the All About Symbian forum, here is what was said from various posts, my own posts and others :

Coolice Convert errors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the exact same error, had it yesterday after making a new theme and loads of times in the past.

I have traced the problem to some of the components written into the theme's folder in the Theme Studio directory.
Namely the corner pieces of the 'list' picture.

First, create a copy of the folder of the theme you are working on, so you have the original.

Now, go back to the one in the Theme Studio folder, usually installed on your PC's C: drive. Go C: - Program Files - Theme Studio - Data - Skinsdir - and you will see all the themes viewable within Studio.
Open up the theme giving you the problems to see the files and remove these from the theme :

qsn_fr_list_corner_bl_image1
qsn_fr_list_corner_br_image1
qsn_fr_list_corner_tl_image1
qsn_fr_list_corner_tr_image1

Now open Theme Studio again, double click the theme to display it and try creating the .SIS file again, it should work.
If it doesn't, copy those removed parts back into it, from the saved folder and try removing some other corner pieces and recreating again.

Sometimes this leaves a picture with no corners, so once it's working try altering that piece again and creating the .sis.

As to why this problem occurs I have no idea, it's just annoying when you make a nice theme and get hassle.

Aefox : hi!..

Yes ... is the HIGHLIGHT image...

You need to try shinking horizontally the image on the editor...

leave at least one pixel free at both sides of the image...

this happend sometimes with some images, i think that depends
on the color...

the normal image that is 176 wide it's ok if you don't use (leave with a blank color) the first (left) and the last (right) pixel columns of this image ...

hope this help you all...

This Editor has some error.. but still the best one by now ..

cya!
