The folks from Gnokkia’s have been excellent citizens of the Symbian ecosystem – in the past, they brought us gems like the theme used by the members of the Symbian DevCo. Their theme Let it be Symbian has a very aesthetic background image, but can it stack up?

Unfortunately, looking at the home screen reveals the first weakness – it is impossible to discern visually which widget, let alone widget element is active at the moment.

Opening the menu reveals another weakness – the icon set has a completely different visual style which does not match the background.

When in apps, no compatibility issues pop up.

This review tested the theme on a Nokia N97 mini. Installing it required 3399kb of RAM, I had no stability issues afterwards.

In the end, Let it be Symbian does not satisfy fully. The icon set used just does not fit in with the aesthetical background image – my personal, aesthetical feeling says back to the drawing board on this one…
