The attached zip file has blue, cyan, gray, green, and orange bubbles. These are only the in and out files, no cabs. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander to copy the ones you want into your Windows folder.

I've had no bugs except for the break in the bubble which I mentioned in post #47. I increased the file size so it's not a problem with my cab. When you open a text thread it might take a second or two for the images to load, but I really don't see this as a bug.

As for a tutorial there's really not much I can say. You just need to edit the css file. I changed color of the fonts, most of the images from gifs to pngs, and added a background. You can edit the css file with any text editor.

As for changing the actual image files, that's probably beyond the scope of this thread. All I can say is get yourself a good image editing program and learn how to use it. Try GIMP. It has a steep learning curve but can do almost as much as Photoshop, and it's free.

Other than that I suggest you look at the orginal thread posted on XDA for more tips and to get a better understanding of how things work. Also take a look at the orginal files and use them as a base to create the look you want.
