I want to modify the appearance of the application shell in Series60 6.1 OS. Is this possible ? I see that there was a method of finding the memory address of the display memory in 6.0 but can this be done on 6.1? I have tried the back ported DirectScreenAccess on 6.1 and it works okay but need to know if I can get at the main app shell UI to use it. I take it the new Nokia theme manager won't work with 6.1.
Do I need to somehow modify the Uikon LAF modules and if so, where and how?

thanks for any help

Re: Application shell customisation for Series60 6.1
I think you have followed the following two steps to achieve your goal (customizing application shell):

1- Reading the strings of the current view of Application Shell and finding its state and objects' position.
2- Replacing default objects by your own objects. For example, replacing text strings by your own text strings.

I want to know how you have done the first step. How could you read the current view contents? How does your program notice the contents of Application Shell and their positions?

Thanks,

I presume there is NO API for this purpose, at least not in 6.1. And if I were you, I wouldn't try to make some hacks just to look it differently.
