Theming guide for OS2008

[mortela]

Hello,
After I tested amazing LCARS theme in my N800, I have been searching some kind of decent theming guide for Maemo, is there new one and if not is the one @ maemo.org (http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/2-x/howto_customization.html)still valid with OS2008?

What I would like to do is theme based on legendary Fallout Pipboy, as I'm big fan of the game series.

BTW, is it possible get Fallout 1 or 2 ported to Maemo same way as JA2?

Thanks already

Never tried it out myself. Also, there're tutorials on the site.

EDIT: Oops, actually I don't know if that's OS2008 specific...*headdesk*

I think ThemeMaker 1.1 produces themes which are moderately compatible with OS2008, but it uses an incomplete template file. Many (perhaps most) graphics have to be edited individually, rather than within the template image. The latest version is here:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/thememaker/

Old versions of LCARS were made with ThemeMaker, but for the OS2008 themes we used Nokia's hildon-theme-tools software instead. This tutorial is a good place to start:
http://live.gnome.org/Hildon/ThemeHowTo

We also added some additional elements, and put up a page describing how to modify and rebuild our themes:

Good luck :)

Thanks for the help, I will try to start with links you provided.
