Hi

The formula is simple. Put all the required files, which is the image files and the settings xml into a folder with the preview then add them all to a .zip archive. Once you've done this simply rename the .zip extension to .m2dct. .zip archives do actually work in M2DC anyway.

So really you just need any image editing/authoring software and a text editor, oh and a compression utility if this isn't build into your OS.

Cheers

Is there a program to quickly edit themes?

I am not familiar with XML type.

Thanks

There is no software pack , like ThemeGen , for M2d themes, what I do is what a lot of other people do. Just take an existing theme, and replace all the files one by one with your own image files and text files.

Find the thread on editing the xml , it is in dev and hacking I think, and edit the HomeSettings xml until you have every \thing placed where you want it.

It is not easy, but it is not hard. It is time consuming which makes it the accomplishment that much more satisfying.

Just go here and follow the links to helpful tutorials and tools
