CM7 Theme Making

Having had a look at the CM7 theme files i know i can port my themes to them but damn...it would really take some doing. I'm wondering if there is an "easy" way as looking at the files there is a hell of a lot of stuff to do. Anyone want to drop some knowledge?

I know how to add additional resources etc but i'm wondering how do i do it from scratch? I can use another theme file as a template but i want one with less images in it to start with. A massively basic file :huh:

I'm finished babbling on now. Help people.

Yeah but that template is one for decompiling and adding images to as i can see. I guess the only way is renaming tons of files. I can't make any promises but i'm going to have some attempt at porting at least one of my themes to it. It's a 1 off thing i suppose in the long run...

I think there was a template file somewhere around this tutorial:

http://code.google.com/p/android-theme/wik...bileThemeEngine

The instructions there start off with

-START OF GUIDE x64-

We start by getting the source from T-Mobile. Open your terminal...

$ mkdir themes

$ cd themes

$ repo init -u git://github.com/tmobile/themes-platform-manifest.git -b master

$ repo sync

$ source build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch themes_generic-eng hdpi

Which means absolutely nothing to me using a Windows machine

IF it's meant to be windows cmd prompt commands what on earth is the repo command? and source build definitely would do nothing

I think they're git bash commands - git bash being one of the applications one downloads for interacting with git repositories.
