How to Create a Theme

  1. Pick a name for the new theme
  2. Start from an existing theme. Remember the name of this theme ("old name")
  3. Rename the .spec file to the new name (hda-theme-<newname>.spec)
  4. Search and replace the old name to the new name in these files:
    1. Makefile, *.spec
    2. inside app/: app-register, app-remove, hda_app_install.rb, Makefile
    3. inside app/hda_app_install, the name of the apps is also in the name of the Class, so that needs to be changed as well
  5. The theme screenshot file is called app/public/theme-sshot.png and it should be 640x480
  6. The theme thumbnail file is called app/public/theme-thumb.png and it should be 64x64
  7. The theme icon (for the installer in MyApps page), is called app/icon.png and it should be 48x48
