How To Make Themes Like Me D/\SH And My Boy Tigerz

EDIT: tigerz made this video tutorial to go along with my written one below...

[YOUTUBE_BROWSER]mv4C1KsY0S0[/YOUTUBE_BROWSER]

1. To start you will need to download ThemeGenCE you can find it here: http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/themegence.shtml
2. Once you do that install the theme generator to your computer and yes this is WM6 and Vista Compatible.
3. Get your images from your favorite search engine or your own collection that you want to use. You will want a picture for portrait, landscape, and possibly one for the drop down menu.
4. Once your pictures are chosen open up ThemeGenCE and it will come up with a pop-up that says adapt theme if needed. Go to the options area next to the box that says theme format. Than choose the one that says QVGA P+L (240X294) (320X214) than click validate.
5. Than go to the mona lisa picture on the top navigation bar of the screen and click on it. Choose your picture this one will be for landscape. And once you got it measured up the way that you want it click the image that looks like a disc sticking out of the drive. (three from the right) and that will save the image.
6. Once done with that click on where it says start. That will be for the start menu and you can either use the same picture or choose a custom one by clicking on the camera to the far left of the navigation bar.
7. Than click on where it says landscape and follow the same steps for the landscape mode of the theme.
8. Once you have it the way that you want go to the main page again by clicking on the red button and than click on the icon that looks like a rubrics cube and change the colors to the way that you want them to be. (also to the left of the preview image click WM6 and the buttons below will be how you can view what it looks like.)
9. WARNING WM6 BARS APPEAR DIFFERENT THAN THEY LOOK SO GO TO THE VIEWS AND MAKE SURE THE BARS LOOK RIGHT BEFORE SAVING AND GETTING FRUSTERATED. FYI THE DARKER THE COLOR YOU CHOOSE THE LIGHTER THEY APPEAR FOR WM6 AND THE LIGHTER THE DARKER THEY LOOK WITH WM6.
10. Once you set all the colors to the way that you want them to be all you have to do is click the icon to the left of the mona lisa to save it as a tsk file.
11. Your DONE.
12. THEN TO HELP US OUT AT Wckediden POST YOUR CUSTOM THEME UP FOR ALL TO DOWNLOAD!!!

just dink around if it cuts out a part than make a little taller until you get it right.

alright very easy to do. all you do is go to the side menu on your left and than go to mobile themes. than choose ppc themes. than once you do that just go below submit thread button and attach the .tsk file and the images and you will be done...

you need to add pictures first and all and get it set up with all the images than it will appear.

all you have to do is make the new thread under the ppcthemes area and than under where you submit thread you attach the pictures and the theme and you will be golden.... also make sure you save the pictures as jpg or jpeg.
