Dolphin Browser support to customize browser style, you can just
download lots of theme packs from android market & enjoin them
directly.
If you are interested in skinning & want to share them with users all
over the world, You can make a Dolphin Browser theme.

Just follow the specification to make a theme. It is very easy, the
spec is take them pack: *Red Candy* for example, you can download it
from market to have a look first.
Then you can download the specification doc & example image to start
your work
Download Dolphin_Browser_theme_pack_Spec.zip from here:

To make a good android theme, you need to know Draw 9-patch
More info about draw 9-patch please check:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html
If you find it was hard to understand, it is also ok, just focus on
the image, I would help you to finish the 9-patch, but it would be
delay to release.

After you finish the design, please email me your work as a zip pack
to
Bro...@mgeek.mobi

If you have any problem or suggestion, you can discuses them in this
thread with other contributor.
I am also here to work with all of you :D

Thanks for all of your contribution to Dolphin Browser!

How old is your pc? is it a matter of lack of space or older hardware?
As long as you at least have xp and a decent amount of space/ram it
should be able to run.

How old is your pc? Is it just a matter of not enough space or just
older hardware?

Do we have to send the theme to you to have it posted on the Android
Market or can we do that ourselves? If we can we will need the
manifest.xml and other files available to us.
