[span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Tutorial for SE theme Creator.[/span>

This tutorial only tackles about the basics in SE theme Creator. Other tutorial such as how to make bars, highlights and titles in SE Theme Creator will be tackled in the second post.



To start: First of all, you need the Sony Ericsson Theme Creator. Download it here: SE Theme Creator Download



When you open SE Theme Creator, it will lead you to a window where you can see all the SE phone models.

Choose your phone model. Scroll down to see other phone models. For this tutorial, we will use K800.



This will be the look of the main screen:


Here you can drag and drop images. Just be sure to match the sizes written in boxes in SE Theme Creator. The one shown in the image is the Standby screen. after you're done with the standby screen, you can go to desktop, navigation, etc. drag and drop images or just click the import button and select the image you want. It's pretty much that easy. After you're done with everything, click the preview button to see the theme preview of course.



Now, with the coloring.. Sometimes, even if you finished putting images to all the screens and applying colors. Your theme can't be save for reason that it has this error.

It just means that a color overlaps a same color marked by x in the picture shown. try to avoid colors that will overlap the same color. Basically, use a different color for your text and the background of that text. You can not see the background color when the "show images" is checked. so basically, to avoid errors like the in the picture above, uncheck the "show images" found beside the Preview button on the upper right corner of the screen and check for overlapping same colors. or search for "x" marks and change those colors.


After doing all, just save your theme. hook a cable to your phone and enjoy your theme.
I really don't know if this tutorial is helpful. hehe.
That's it. Pretty easy huh? then let's start doing some highlights and bars.
