I tried to compile my theme but it only manages to create the source files and not compile the final .deb package.

Console output after "Build Theme":

Console output after "Make Debian":

Contents of the theme folder and the "DEBIAN" -folder:

Thanks to fms for figuring this out: Konttori bundles a Mach-O i386 dpkg-deb executable...

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu, or something similar, copy the dpkg-deb executable from /usr/bin into ThemeMaker's folder...

I'm not an expert on this but it seems there s something wrong with the SDK and/or the Theme Maker, perhaps it's the offset of the source image?

I need to experiment this more tomorrow.

Yeah, I should probably just make the call to /usr/bin on linux.
And then find someone to find dpkg-deb for windows. Anybody know where I can find it?

If you are developing on Windows, you will need to create a virtual machine image of linux to develop on. dpkg is a debian GNU/Linux tool and does not work on Windows.

You can create virtual machines with VirtualBox, and then install debian where you can do your maemo development since maemo is based on debian.

I *will* fix windows support at some point, but it's not there yet.
Until then, easiest for you is to copy the content of the theme folder to the device if you want to test it. Just copy themename/usr/share/themes/themename folder to the devices /user/share/themes folder.

Until konttori fixes it I will help anyone who needs it by packaging there theme in either deb or as a source package for Extras if you contact me.

It's fixed now, in version 1.2.4.

Thanks, konttori!

Edit:

It still isn't.
