Needs help with theme creation

[Diverfiend0415]

Hello, I have been trying to create a theme for winterboard the past couple of days. I have had limited success. I have gotten the background and the dock to work properly but I have had no success in theming the lockscreen, icons, and status bar.

What I have done is make a folder (named MjK3.theme) on my desktop. I then found a picture 320x480 and named it Wallpaper. I found a dock 320x91 and named it Dock. I made sure that both of these files were .PNG files. I put both of these images in the mjk3 file. I had success with both of these. In the next paragraph is what I need help with.

I then found an image 320x20 and named it StatusBar. It didn't work. So I renamed it Statusbar and it didn't work either. I had the. Couldn't get icons to theme either. I put a folder named "Icons" in the mjk3 theme. I then put icons I made in that file (for iPod,mail,safari, and phone) those wouldn't theme either. Last but not least I put a picture 320x480 in the file and named it LockBackground. Tried different capitalizAtions. No luck.

Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to PM or comment for details.

What I would do is download a them that's already built and look at the folder structure. That helped me tons when I made my first theme.

As for the icons, take a look at your Springboard. Whatever they are named on the Springboard should be what you name them.

That's what I tried naming them. But you put them in a folder named icons under the theme folder right or no?

I also tried putting just the icon in the theme folder outside of the icon folder (I tried to change the Phone icon. No luck again, I named the icon "Phone".

When creating a theme what do you name the lockscreen, statusbar, and icon folder (cap. sensative please.)

I would start by downloading a couple of themes to your desktop and look at the structure of them (Such as the ones in my sig below ). And I would also as look here for some more tips. If you still have questions after, feel free to hit me up. I will be glad to share what I have learned here.
