It’s no secret that I can’t stand the grey icons that the E71 was given from Nokia. They’re ugly, old-looking, and should be banished as soon as possible. I’ve highlighted several themes that use an icon pack from Flahorn that gives your E71 the look of a regular S60 phone, and now, Flahorn’s at it again with another killer icon pack. These new icons are being taken from the new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, and they look really close to the new Ovi icons.
While that’s already some good news, the great news is that other themers are already using these sweet new icons in their themes. NaHiD is the first such themer that I’m aware of, with his new Colorfull theme, just released today! I’ve got it loaded up on my Nokia E71, and as you can see, the icons look great! Unfortunately, the background is a bit too loud, and the Active Standby text blends in too much, but it’s exciting to see these new icons being used already, and I can only hope to see more in the future.
You can download Colorfull by NaHiD here.

Very nice theme, although the theme is not complete. Still some icons that haven’t been converted, to bad
looks nice! I am looking forward to see a application from facebook.
One way to avoid the grey icons in custom themes (those that don’t have complete icon pack for e71) is to create a couple of new folders to main menu and to move the inside icons from grey folders to these new folders . The still existing grey icons can’t be removed, but you can take them out of sight by moving them to the bottom of the screen. Maybe not the perfect solution, but it still makes older themes a lot better looking.
