Options/theme/alt + trackwheel still only shows "close" in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

The only thing on the screen are the names of themes. There is no choice in this list for "download theme."

How do I get this choice?

Re: Plazmic Theme Creation Walkthrough

The instructions here are great but... I cannot manage to get a certain wallpaper to under 60kb and it is a major thorn in my ***... if anybody has any ideas in regards to this, it would be a great help.

Thank you

P.S. I already resized the graphic and it is saved in .png, .jpg, & .gif... believe me, I've tried!!!

Re: Plazmic Theme Creation Walkthrough

Hi bullybeef,

That is a common error and often happens, any chance you could post the background image your using and let another Pinstacker try and get-er down under the 60k limit for you? If that's an option be sure to post the size you would like it 240x260= 7100 320x240= 8700 series.

thanks

Re: Plazmic Theme Creation Walkthrough

i too am having the same problems as people before with the size requirements. im getting errors while trying to export

Warning: The following resources could not be included in the theme for reasons explained below:
Dialog Background
Homescreen Background
Message List Background
Phone Incoming Call Background
Warning: Dialog Background: Resource is bigger than 60 kb.
Warning: Homescreen Background: Resource is bigger than 60 kb.
Warning: Message List Background: Resource is bigger than 60 kb.
Warning: Phone Incoming Call Background: Resource is bigger than 60 kb.

any suggestions?

so far i have a picture as my main background
i have a picture for my incoming phone call
and i have a picture for my messages

i will gladly post those pics if anyone wants to try to resize them for me..

the first one firefighterthemeicon is the one i will be using on the messages screen the way its shown just has a ball of fire all the way across and looks really good. the second one is the picture i want shown when i have an incoming phone call and then the last one is the background theme for the main page.

any help would be greatly appreciated. also i have a few custom icons but they are rather small in size

thanks guys


katyenochs you can take screenshots of your theme and then go to the little paperclip and add files from your pc and that is how you add pictures of your theme. hope this helps

Re: Plazmic Theme Creation Walkthrough

Try to change all the images to gif. While in plazmic hover over where you would select the image and a size will appear, make sure you are using the correct size.

Not all images can be 320x240. Do this and let us know how it goes.

Try reducing the number of colors. That worked for me. I reduced my wallpaper from true color down to 32K colors and that fixed the file size for me. Reducing the colors to 32K didn't affect the image quality either.
