Hi,
I was trying to create a simple custom theme. I could not find any instructions about how to do it. From the various information I gathered from the forum, I was able to do it without much difficulty.
The theme files can be viewed if the file extension is changed to zip. I copied a theme file, changed the extension to .zip and I unzipped the file. There is a xml file, jpg file and png files. jpg file forms the background. I used PS for changing the size and resolution of my own image/photo to that of the original jpg. and added it to the files. Deleted the original .jpg.
Opened the default. xml file with notepad and changed the name of the original jpg to the substituted one. The name between the <NAME> </NAME> tags is the name of the theme. Changed it to my own liking. Saved it as default.xml.
Zipped the whole lot under the name of the new theme. Renamed it as .thm and placed it in the theme folder.
I did not try changing png images and I hope to experiment with them soon.
