1) Does it work?
2) How does it look(if it works)? Any suggestions?
3) Two things: volume might look f**ked up, I will try to do a more volume like thingy, not just a number. about thing, goto settings->advanced->about and see what it says.

First off, let me say one...i mean two words!
1)
IT WORKS!!!!
2) It looks very unique and much more like how the original E10 theme should have looked like. Might be a favourite with alot of people but who knows. The Tuesday background display image is very non-contrasty with the colours making the text very hard to read, ditto with the rest of the days to Friday. So basically the only days where it is readable is Sunday (just), Monday, Saturday.
3) Of course being a complicated theme, the user interface is a bit slower, but the equaliser (showing which one is on when playing) and the battery indicator and the shuffle mode are all flipped and put on the left side instead of the right. So basically, instead of reading CustomEQ, it reads QEmotsuC (can't type mirror letters) but with the letters written backwards.
The current selected object e.g. in the main menu - FM Radio is tinted blue to indicate which one is selected but there is an uneven gap between the top and bottom selections with the top being overlapped by the blue tinted object and a massive gap to the next object below. So basically, "FM Radio" half covers "Extras" and has a massive gap to "Now Playing".
The actual CustomEQ has the same bars and all but the numbers for the frquency (50, 200, 1K, 3K, 14K) are all smooshed together quite tightly but is still alright as you won't be seeing it all the time.
The SRS WOW part is much better though, the numbers for TruBass and SRS look like a digital watch with the bars for each part of the number.
But here is the big problem, with pictures, the ones that I already had on the E10 prior to the theme update, were displayed normally. But now with the Walkman theme, I can no longer display ANY photo at all. Not even putting on new images helps. The message I get when attempting to display an image is: ".This file format is not supported"
Another area where the E10 has a little problem with the new theme is the text file part. I still have the original "HowTo" readme on the E10 and with the new theme, the text is displayed but some parts are cut off on the right hand side, like the screen isn't big enough.
And the artist title is still not moving and leaving only the first name or artist being shown. But this hopefully can be fixed.The play count is fine as so is the song length. Ditto the song title.
Hold switch is fine.
Videos work fine. (Still have the original World Of Warcraft promo on it)
Date & Time Settings is also a little smooshed tightly like the CustomEQ, but still readable and digital font is cool.
Scrolling through the song list is a bit slower but not so bad it causes total anger-overload.
Play percentage bar in the now playing screen is cool as it goes from orange for around 25% to blue for 50% and green for 75% and then yellow for 100%. Nice touch! Really cool.
Recording page is perfect. Hasn't been affected at all. Font is all perfectly aligned.
Shut Down Animation is very interesting. It has the same original shut down logo, but there is this "filling effect" that has been applied to the actual shut down symbol and it fills it up and down. Very cool as well. Much better than the original bland shut down image.
Sorry if I have sounded a bit harsh, but I do still really like this new theme and will be sticking around to give more feedback and any tips/hints. (Eagerly awaiting the final finished theme.)

EDIT: It seems a bit unstable when displaying images, sometimes is works, sometimes it doesn't. I just rebooted it and it did display the images all fine, but then it froze so I had to reset, but it didn't display it again. So it seems a bit yes-no at the moment as to whether it will display pictures.
