Hello,
some days ago I designed a theme for canola (using Canola Theme Maker: it's a wonderful web app!), and now I decided to try to design a theme for os 2008. I found something about "Theme Maker" by Konttori (http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.co...eme-maker.html), but I didn't understand a step: how can i launch the app? (I have java installed on my Windows Vista computer, but it doesn't open *.jar files..).
Use "Theme Maker" is the simplest way to make a theme for Maemo?
Thank you very much
Luke
I saw your how to, but if possible I'd prefer creating my theme using an app, like Theme Maker, so, anyone can help me {my problem: how can i launch Theme Maker app (.jar file)}?
Thanks
Bye
be shure you extract the .zip file
go to folder you have extract the .zip file
click on application
enjoy
(be shure java is installed on you machine too)
I'm having the same issue. I did extract the .zip, and I installed a Java runtime update on my computer so that it would be able to open the app, and the app will run but as soon as I go to compile the theme into a .deb package, it freezes on 1%...
if it freezes there is an error like make sure you are using an icon template even if using default icons use default icon template
Ah that mightve been it. I customized the Icon Template using the default one, making a layer, and overlaying my custom ones with the default then deleting the default layer, but I may have resized my custom ones incorrectly (it doesnt actually list anywhere what the individual icon size should be per Icon), so that may be causing the glitch. I'll try with the defaults.
Yep that was the issue. I also renamed my custom Icon file so that I would still have a backup of the original, instead of backing up the correctly way (I.E. Copying the original to a Backup folder then replacing the first one with my custom one having the same name). Thanks!

if you follow all step of the how to i post it up there, all this step replace the original icon by your custumized ones...but this way keep the original ones...
in fact whit this way, the original icon is renamed xxx.png.disturb...
if you uninstall the theme application you create it, all the original icons be renamed again simply xxx.png...
look this way man iam shure you get more efficient way like this to make and <<test<< you theme more fast and more easy
