About :

Some of the issues experienced :

Maemo , Meego , and s60 v3 devices shows the program as it is but, s60 v5 and Symbian ^3 devices found to over ride the theme colour at particular points.

BMP can be compressed and worked but some times not working on Symbian. Related to Qpixmap and Qimage and QimageReader class bugs issues are fixed, such as handling the huge jpegs.

Note: Tested only for Symbian ANNA, but the installs are included for Harmatton,Meego,and old symbian.
