Adding themes (vs. Overwriting)?

I realize that it has been discussed and proven impossible to add themes w/o overwriting through bitpim thus far.  However, I read somewhere that once the Touch is a supported device, we would be able to add themes instead of overwriting blue inspiration.  Is this possible now with the updated version of bitpim?

Also, on a side note, why can't we overwrite modern retro?  I hate that theme.  I wish I didn't have to get rid of blue inspiration to add new ones.

Evilpooh is correct. 

And it seems that the Blue Inspiration theme for the external screen was made using the swf format instead of hard wiring it into the BREW system, like the modern retro theme, because of the type of animation that you experience when you swipe from one icon to the next in each row.  It was probably much easier to create that transition effect using Flash.

As long as you follow the simple instructions, you won't ever brick your phone.  The risk comes in when people start messing with files that they don't understand. 

And it's not a matter of bitpim supporting the phone officially or not that limits the ability to add new themes vs overwriting the one Blue Inspiration theme.  The reason it won't be possible is that the Touch only looks for it's theme options in specific directory locations.  You could add a new theme file to the phone just fine.  But the phone won't know to look for it because the new location and file names haven't been programmed into the BREW firmware.

Also, if you ever need back ups of the stock files from the phone, you can find them here http://www.env-touch.com/index.php?topic=347.0

Oh okay, so that's why we have to save the new firmware under the same name as blue inspiration?  Because it won't recognize any other name as a valid theme file?  That makes sense... it's dumb that they have limited us like that, but I understand at least. 

So do you think that this will be remedied if Verizon updates the device with some new themes (provided they are flash based)?  It's kind of ridiculous that such a nice phone only comes with two themes, one of which is hideous anyway.  You would think that they would at least offer color options for a generic theme called "inspiration."  Just laying different colors over a blank slate for personalization.

That's true.  I don't understand Verizon though.  They could be so much better and offer so much more freedom to the customer, but they choose not to?  They could even MAKE money by allowing users full access under the condition that if they brick the phone, they have to buy a replacement at their own expense.  That way, they can sell a brand new phone, take your old one, refurb/reflash it, and give it to the next dude with a warranty issue.

But yea, I don't expect Verizon to update this phone for much more than issues related to battery life and minor glitches... they're not really the type to cater to customer's wants.

I'm still surprised that they weren't able to figure out a more protected method to create that singularly different menu interface.  It's not very "Verizon" of them.
