Hello there everyone,
Finally, find the easier solution.
First you have to use Adobe Illustrator and follow the steps on the Nokia site posted by qtrahul.
But there's some things to keep in mind that I've faced during this :
- The tool that converts from SVG to SVG tiny on Nokia site isn't working for me + It's paid and there's a free tool which is called SVG Converter here is the screen shot, sorry I coudn't find the link for it, it seems broken, if someone can't find a link for it, let me know.
- If you want to put a png over the template, don't forget to resize it, otherwise the svg size is going to be huge and it will make your phone lags.
That's all about it, and thank you for the help. Thank you qtrahul for the link.

Hi all,
i had the same problem and found another solution. (because i don't have Adobe Illustrator)
you just need inkscape.i used a transparent square 96x96px and it worked fine!
i think this is maybe not the way it should be, but it works!maybe "this":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Design_and_UX/designing-for-nokia-platforms/designing-for-symbian/symbian-iconography-guidelines/launcher-icons/icon-canvas.html helps you go on with your icon.

I found that when creating icons with Inkscape then my icons are stretched on the Symbian^3 devices. After investigating issue a little I found that I have to change a line in SVG file.
From this:
@
<svg width="80" version="1.1" height="80" baseProfile="tiny" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" id="svg2">
@
To this:
@
<svg width="80" version="1.1" height="80" baseProfile="tiny" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" id="svg2" viewBox="0 0 80 80">

Hi,
just a note: why do you tell that Inkscape is not sufficient creating correct Icons? I am using only it and them are creating withour great problems of the desired sizes.

Nice advice! Are not valide the same specifications to build the icons in Harmattan? Proportions seems the same. I had no idea that there was the graphic specs for Anna too.

Nokia is kind enough to provide iconography for "Meego Harmattan":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Design_and_UX/designing-for-nokia-platforms/designing-for-meego-12-harmattan/meego-12-harmattan-iconography-guidelines.html also.
"Here":http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Design_and_UX/designing-for-nokia-platforms/iconography-style-summary.html is quick glance at all S40, Symbian, Harmattan iconography.
