## Whats New in the Release

Carbide.ui has been designed with the creative professional in mind. It allows the S60 and Series 40 UI to be customized with full WYSIWYG layout, without the need for layout definition, coding, or specialized mobile design experience. In addition, Carbide.ui can be integrated with a wide range of creative graphic and audio packages, allowing designers to work with their favorite tools.
Carbide.ui 3.2 Theme Edition enables creation of S60 Audio themes. Audio themes are supported on some of the S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 and later phones, such as the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic phone.
Once a theme has been created, Carbide.ui can be used to package the theme into an installation file and prepare it for Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) digital rights management (DRM) protection, if required, after which it will be ready for deployment to devices.
-Support for the elements of SPR 7.2 in Series 40
-Support Arabic and Hebrew icons

## Known Problems and Limitations:

- SVG created in Adobe Illustrator CS3: In rare cases, SVG created in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and saved using the default mode (not using the Save for Web & Devices option) appears to be outside the viewbox when applied to theme components. These graphics appear as if their top-left corner has been translated toward the center of the theme component. This happens either during the save in Illustrator, when Carbide.ui converts the SVG to SVGT, or when such SVG files are pasted in to Carbide.ui, where Carbide.ui filters out all non-SVGT-compliant content. This filtered content is an Adobe-specific transformation of the inverse viewBox matrix; for example, viewBox="-0.75 0.748 20 8").

- Workaround: Use the Illustrator CS3 Save for Web & Devices option when saving SVG files.

- Switching Series 40 Theme versions: Switching of the Series 40 Theme version is not supported. (Switching platform versions is supported for S60 graphical themes.)

- Workaround: See the Compatibility Issues section of this document for a description of the workaround.

- Animated layers and effects (layer animations) — S60 themes only: The behavior of an animation in the Carbide.ui preview and on a device may differ. This is because, on a device, some of the animation elements do not support all of the available effects when they are applied to the first layer.

- Workaround: Test themes on a device to confirm it works as expected.

- Relative time-mode animations — S60 themes only: Elements in backgrounds and areas support relative time-mode animations with two control points (start and end) only. In addition, SVG graphics are recommended for use in combination with animated background effects. The Zebra theme provides an example of recommended practice.

- Workaround: Use only start and end control points for elements in backgrounds and areas.

- Undo failures: In rare cases, Undo may fail after the platform has been changed several times or after switching the simulated resolution.

- Workaround: Undo changes manually.

- Opening workspaces: Problems may occur when opening a workspace edited with earlier versions of Carbide.ui. This is a known Eclipse defect.

- Workaround: The metadata folder in any existing workspace should be cleared. There is no need to delete existing projects from the workspace. All folders inside Eclipse\Configuration folder should be cleared, except config.ini file, which must not be edited or removed.

- Workspace path: The workspace path should not contain non-ASCII characters.
- Project names: Carbide.ui may not work properly for projects containing non-ASCII characters running on non-Unicode platforms.
- Linking project paths: Linking project path is case-sensitive.
- Embedded images in SVG images: Embedded bitmaps (PNG, JPG, and BMP) within SVG are not supported.
- Series 40 emulator support: All Series 40 features work on the Series 40 5th Edition, Feature Pack 1 emulator, for GIF and animated GIF format ONLY.

- Device testing: During development, themes created in Carbide.ui were fully tested against the Series 40 and S60 emulators. Exhaustive testing against devices was not conducted; as a result, differences may be noticed when themes are installed on some devices.

- It is known that formats such as SWF, SVG, and M3G do not work consistently on devices.
- Series 40 Big Clock: Image skinning of Series 40 Big Clock hands is not supported and a preview for color skinning is not available.
- S60 elements: The elements under the following S60 theme categories are available in the tool, but have no effect when displayed on a device:

- Secondary Vertical Line
- Secondary Horizontal Line
- Primary Vertical Line
- Primary Horizontal Line
- Phone Memory
- Push To Talk Settings
- Stream Link
- Application Open State Indication
- Both Marker icons
- Todo
- Icons -> Toolbar Icons
- Icons -> eSWT Icons
- Colors -> eSWT and Colors -> MIDP Colors
- Icons -> Miscellaneous Icons -> Idle Item Indicators

- Blue bubbles for Active Call Frame, First Active Call Bubble, Second Call Bubble will still appear in the phone.
- POC call bubbles are not tested.
- In 2nd Edition FP2, for Highlights, Pop-up Windows, Indicators and Applications under Resources view, some elements are having place holders, but the icons will not appear.
- In 2nd Edition FP2, the 3rd party Application icons are not getting packaged.
- Tool shows an error (Error loading content) while opening few S40 themes eventhough they seem to be valid themes (even if they work on phone). This happens if the themes were not created using Carbide.ui.
- The thumbnail image “large_thumbnail.gif” cannot be defined in the Carbide.ui. The tool is removing the thumbnail when a theme (with thumbnail) is loaded, changed and packaged.
- In Windows Vista Business Edition, for 3rd Edition FP1 and FP2 themes, SVG to SVGt conversion is not working while saving the themes.
- In Windows Vista Business Edition, for 3rd Edition FP1 and FP2, SVG to MIF conversion is not working while packaging.
