Well I found that you might have to edit the pics yourself. Paint.net is free and blows paintshops sent with computers off the map. There is a post about the quick launcher in this forum. You have to do it seperate from the normal apps and things it is in a separate area since it is an internal launcher for your phone. Pay attention to ANY posts by Madolen or the infamous Jason

I wanna edit a theme that has been made before but not updated. Theres a few things I wanna change like messaging colors and all. This would be my first theme or attempt at a theme any suggestions??

I have a simple question: can I modify any file I want? For example, if I want to make a splash background for an app that doesn't have one, I'd just modify the appinfo.json with "splashBackground": "images/splash-bg.png", right? Obviously, placing the image file in the images folder of the app.

In summary, can I specify any file I want to modify? .json, .css, .js, and so on.

Thanks.

Hey guys...

Bit of a dilemma here, i downloaded theme builder and compiled a quick theme.. uploaded it to prethemer and continued to edit the theme...

Ive now re-downloaded the theme thats nearly complete and was going to open it in theme builder to edit some backgrounds (i use the theme assistant as im noob at theme creation an its easier that way) and when i open the .zip with theme builder, it says it cannot open the file because it cannot find a .jpg, but ive searched the .zip and it is in there...

Any idea's on how to get it working?

EDIT: No worries, sorted it out using the individual files on prethemer

Hey, now that Prethemer works, how am I able to generate a screenshot of my theme before I build the theme zip? I built my theme, all I have to do right now is upload a screenshot to theme builder and i'm done. I don't get it. And also, before I continue, I just want to be clear on this: Do I have to rename all the .png pics to the names of the ones I am replacing and does the Theme Assistant place all the pics in the folders for me? I know I'm really new at this and I've been working on my first theme. Please bare with me. Thanks in advance. Hope to hear from someone.

I think GIMP is the best (free) way to go.

Is there another way to create an .ipk file instead of using prethemer? I tried that before trying to create a 2.1 theme and prethemer didnt even recognize the images that were made in some areas because 2.x change some locations of images. It uploads it as a 1.4.5 theme, which isnt the same in 2.x
