Re: [Maemo 5]How to create a theme
 

Decide what you want to call the Theme. Create a folder in C:\Program Files\PLUS!\Themes name it what you want the name of your theme to be. This keeps everything in one place for you to keep everything organized.

Re: [Maemo 5]How to create a theme
 

Just wanted to inform that Stskeeps updated the master template for PR1.2 today and it so far it seems to be working just nice :)

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

I really hope some more userfriendly Theme Editor will come around...

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

It pretty much really can't get much easier than it's now. So just try to learn it.

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

I wouldn't say it's easy to produce a installable .deb file if you want to take quick test of something. You basically have to options; a) set up a SDK enviroment and build debs there, or b) create a garage account and upload sources to autobuilder and wait for it to build the package and then download it to your phone...

Other than that, theme making is pretty easy atm.

Maybe someday MADDE will include all necessary things for building the package when using stskeeps's theme template.

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

is there a way to buid the theme.deb without the use of autobuilder?

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

Yes, install Maemo5 SDK on your Linux and build packages there :)

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

it says that "convert: Command not found" . what is this? do i have to install something to avoid getting this error?

Re: [Guide]How to create a Maemo5 theme
 

You need to install additional tools to scratchbox (see themes control file what are build depencies and install those into scratchbox) and then build deb using this command:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -tc
