I've been trying to do some custom themes and have a few questions.

1.) does a guide exist on how the theme coding works. I did see the youtube video on making anew theme, but it didn't explain some things like the frame info, etc. in the various themes I've unzipped to look at how they are done.

2.)Some the mesed end right when the get to the buttons on the right of the screen ans then it starts to repeat or shows the far right any cut of image portion. How do you get the theme image to not do this?

3.) Do you have a specific file image size for a theme, and if so any advice on resizing an image to fir as to not "mess up "the art" I found a bunch of themes used different image sizes and just changing pixel heights of images to match a certain on. Can distort and mess up the image. They had some different info entered in regarding frames and stuff so I'm think you need to do that but don't know how.

Thanks.

Creating a theme is not easy (unless you are just swapping graphics for graphics of the same size).
