Creating a theme .tsk file - Touch HD Themes and Apps

I am trying to create my own theme under windows 6.5 (.tsk file for blackstone) I have managed to create my own wallpaper page
using TouchFlo HD wallpaper creator but when I go th the start menu I get one of the .tsk files set under the today
screen.
I have designed my own using Theme generator for windows CE but the screen resoloution does not appear to be high enough and the image tiles
particularly in landscape mode.
Does any one have any ideas

Today theme weirdness

I've bought Juni's Black & White theme and I'm having trouble with the Today theme. If I use the .tsk file from the root of the QVGA area it doesn't display, I just get the Windows default background. If I use the non-extended .tsk then the background displays. I've tried some of the other themes from his site (Gnome V2) and they don't display either.
Is this something strange about WM5 or am I doing something wrong?
Some tsk files have extra information for WM5, hence some may work and some may not work, depending on the theme generator used. Not your fault.

WM 6.5 Backgrounds - theme Maker?

Hi,
i recently switched to wm6.5 (miri).
Now i want to use customized backrounds for my HD -> those from "Lost in Asia ROM".
As I want to use a different bg for landscape and portarit - I think I have to use a Theme do I?
So I tried to genarate one with ThemeGenCE.
MS Theme Gen doesnt support new WVGA themes...
But When I use my generated them it didn't set the pictures.. and it messes up the new "WM6.5 Lockscreen" completely.
I also tried to modify an existing theme (renaming to zip) and replace the pictures inside (skwater 001 and 002) and repack but it didn't work either... same as above.
Anyone knows how generate a working WM6.5 Theme?
I would also help just to know the REG-Key or where to place my bg files to set this up.
THX

bump the message...
Can't be that hard I tought? No one got this problem?
To be honest I'm not sure what you actualy want? When you say theme do you also mean different colour theme for Portrait and Landscape? not sure if this is possible?
However if you are refering to having different background of your choice for Portrait and Landscape then you can simply rename any .jpeg picture of your choice to stwater_480_800.jpg (Portrait) and stwater_800_480.jpg (Landscape) then simply copy them over to windows folder using resco file explorer or total commander! if you already know this then I'm sorry I could not help you on this occasion!
THX
no didn't know that it's that easy... I'll try.
I know its not possible to have different colorschemes for Port. & Land.
By theme, I meant the *.TSK Files which one could create for WM. They contain the Pictures for Port. & Land. + the colorscheme information.
As I described above I didn't get it managed to create such a file working on WM6.5 using a theme generator- worked on 6.1 - but messes up the new WM6.5 Lockscreen
So the question for a working WM6.5 theme generator is still open but not that important to me now.
Thank you, if that works, its all I want (for now) ;-)

WM 6.5 Theme {How To}

With the growing number of ROMs and all the hardwork put behind them, I feel its time to have a comprehensive tutorial for skinning or theming WM 6.5 titanium.
There is a tutorial available, but somehow its difficult to comprehend. Perhaps one of the theme GURUS can answer these,
1. Does wm6.5 require tsk files or has its own code.
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.
can i change the Today pic .. like 1 for the titanium homescreen and another 1 for the Menu background?
and u cant have a separate 1 for landscape mode hey? ^^
Nah i dont think you can have seperate background for menu and today in titanium.
You can change the minimize tab and the main tab though for landcape and portrait.

If you want a new Theme you'll have to download the img files of the theme and the tsk file (usually they are packed in one cab)
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
Don't know =) You can try it and share your Results
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
Open the cab with an Cab Manager and replace the stwater background file
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
you can replace them... but i'd rather create a new one because it's nearly the same work

Can create my own one XD
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.

Not sure, but if you post a screenshot of the picture perhaps others may have a standalone version of the picture.
You can either use WinCE Cab manager to extract the .tsk, or check in your windows folder for something like stwater.jpg or stwater_640_480.jpg.
Thank you I found a stand alone version of teh picture
