Quick guide to make .deb:
1) Create a folder, for example /home/user/mytheme_deb
2) Create a filesystem folder hieararchy under the previously created folder. In this case, create directory /home/user/mytheme_deb/usr/share/themes/red_alert and all its subdirectories.
3) Copy your files to previously created directories
4) Create a folder called "DEBIAN" in the folder created in 1)
5) Create file called "debian-binary" in the DEBIAN directory. Edit the file to have only text "2.0" in it (without the quotation marks obviously).
6) Add a file called "control" in the DEBIAN directory. Example of file "control":
7) Add scripts called "postinst" and "prerm" in the DEBIAN directory. "postinst" should have operations which need to be done after the files has been copied in the directories shown by your filesystem hierarchy and "prerm" should have operations which need to be done before uninstall removes the files. I guess that with themes you don't need to have anything in these, just add line "#!/bin/sh" to both of them.
At this point you should have folders:
- /home/user/mytheme_deb/DEBIAN with files prerm, postinst, control and debian-binary
- /home/user/myhteme_deb/usr/share/themes/red_alert with your theme files and subdirectories
8) Run "dpkg -b /home/user/mytheme_deb mytheme_1.0_armel.deb" to make the deb. Debs should be named like package_version_architecture.deb.
I hope I remembered all.

6) Add a file called "control" in the DEBIAN directory. Example of file "control":
Code:
Package: redalert_theme Version: 1.0 Section: user/system Priority: optional Architecture: armel Depends: example_dependency (>= 0.2.0), another_example Installed-Size: 1024 Maintainer: King Kong <king.kong@jungle.com> Source: none Description: Red alert theme nice theme with red buttons and all... remember the whitespace in beginning of line when something goes on multiple lines.
At this point you should have folders:
- /home/user/mytheme_deb/DEBIAN with files prerm, postinst, control and debian-binary
- /home/user/myhteme_deb/usr/share/themes/red_alert with your theme files and subdirectories
8) Run "dpkg -b /home/user/mytheme_deb mytheme_1.0_armel.deb" to make the deb. Debs should be named like package_version_architecture.deb.

Great theme! Just not as consistent as Matrix theme it seems.
Some things I noticed:
- Display Brightness squares are dark gray. Can't tell which square is lit. Shows as nice and green on Matrix theme however.
- Volume bar is also dark gray. Would look better as red as well. =)

This is a red based theme, which was created by:
http://www.mobile-geeks.com/dark-the...00-maemo/2109/
What I did
//== How to install ==\\
1) To install you need to transfer the downloaded .deb file to your N900(for example Documents folder)
2) Open xterm and type(you need rootsh for this):
If the theme doesn't look as it should it is suggested to reboot your phone after the installation.
