Yes, it allows for theme creation for any webOS device. No tutorial yet, though feel free to create one

[c000]

is there a limitation on the types of files a person can use? or a preferred file to use to make a theme? such as .jpeg .png etc?

How can I change (undim) text in device menu?

Hi.., All I want to know is there any way to get any instructions for the program. I don't know where to start. All I know is what I want for a theme. Any type of suggestions are kindly appreciable.

I used WebOS Theme Builder v3.1 to create a theme that only includes the patch files (that WebOS Theme Builder created) for the "launcher_icon_geom_settings.conf", "launcher_icon_layoutsettings.conf" & "layoutSettings.conf" files. The original .conf files were taken from webosdoctorp305hstnhwifi.jar. I also tried using Unified Diff Creator v1.3 to create the patch files, but they're the same as when using WebOS Theme Builder v3.1.
Note: Manually swapping the original .conf files with the modified ones work as desired (see my post in this thread 9x7 icons, thinner quicklaunch bar with more icons ) .

Theme Manager was used to install this theme, but nothing changed after the Luna Restart.

I then tested these patch files (that WebOS Theme Builder v3.1 created) by installing each one separately with WebOS Quick Install v4.4.0.
The "launcher_icon_layoutsettings.conf" & "layoutSettings.conf" patch files install & work, but the "launcher_icon_geom_settings.conf" patch has the error "1 out of 3 hunks FAILED...etc.".
I also tried using Internalz Pro to install these patch files with the same result.

The original, modified & the patch file created with WebOS Theme Builder v3.1, for "launcher_icon_geom_settings.conf" are below:

All of my themes are in the Theme Gallery, and I have made a new site with info on my themes Palm Pre Themes - Home

Hey Madolen how you doing? It seems that I am doing something wrong when creating a theme, when I upload the theme in precentral it say no XML file found, I open the zip file and it's there, so I went and tried uploading to the veer through Quick install and the file is not found, am I doing something wrong and can you help?
