You haven't saved all the required pictures to create the theme. Keep re-tracing your steps.

I have an XV 6800. You get the tiling, by the way, when you choose too small an image...at least that's what I have seen.

I simply recommend you use a large image and you choose option 5 (QVGA P+L), After all, you are going to want a portrait and landscape view aren't you?

You really will need photoshop or some other editor to tweak the canvas size. That is the key to really getting a good theme. I had to tweak the canvas size bigger in various dimensions each for the portrait and landscape versions because what the program does is automatically resize the image. If you have a picture within your image (like a logo), then to properly position that image you will need to tweak the canvas size and then copy and paste your colour onto the expanded canvas size.

Here is the theme I created:



Thanks again for showing me that theme creator and giving your tutorial.

Regards,

Devin
I'm glad you like the themes you create. It allows you to customize your phone to your EXACT liking

Yes, I have closed my site and I'm in the process of moving. I do have all of my themes still and will upload them on request here. The best part about the themes is they were perfectly on Windows 6.5 Romz.
