Creating a Home Screen as well as other screens

[Guest clittles_2000]

Throughout the years, I've been getting more and more in depth with this phone hacking, started off if with programs like webjal and being able to load your own screens and ringtones. I never imagined that it would get this deep!! I've got alot of ideas for home screens and plugins, but I don't know the first thing about XML code. I'm a Computer technician by trade, but when it comes to programming language I'm lost. Can anyone clue me in as to how to associate the plugins and homescreens for my phone. I've created some screens with photoshop, but I don't know the format or structure for the XML or plugins. Anyone's help is appreciated.

As far as I know, you can't use XML themes on a PPC, only on a smartphone, annoying really, coz i've made a beatiful one for my c550, but I can't use it on my wizard :P

yeah unfortunatly IMO smartphone was alot easier to create/ tweek themes.

I use Thememaker M for making them now, its not great but you can usually throw something half decent together.

To be honest, I prefer the PPC system. Smartphone gave the skinner more options, which gave them more rope to hang themselves... :) I like to chose the items on my screen (inbox, tasks etc) then have a theme around them. On the Smartphone you need to find a homescreen that has all the items you are interested in, reducing the choice.
