So I started work on my first theme (for Droid HD v1.1). I really had no idea how much work went into making a theme. Much respect to all of you themers!

I was screaming at my computer when making my first theme.

It is a lot but if you stick with it and just keep doing a little at a time you can have it pumped out in no time. Set goals for yourself. Like doing 1/4th or half the framework-res images each day.

Or pull a 24v and do an entire theme in like 8 hours without break.

lol There's like 600 images in one folder alone....!

There is that option lol. I'm unfortunately not at the level of 24v. It takes me way longer.

I don't even want to count how many hours i spend working on a theme.

I think with a little practice I'll get them done faster. I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of paint.net while I start this project. Also doesn't help that there are 3 or 4 themes that I WANT to make. Trying to keep myself focused on something more basic for right now.

Pick your favorite and focus on 1 haha, makes organizing a lot easier. I find it hard to organize one theme, three would be killer. I only use paint.net to make indexed images work in Photoshop, don't you have Photoshop?

[Aliceics]

Yeah he's a beast but I never have 8 solid hours where I can work on anything lol.

I'm young lol. But he's not so idk where he finds that time haha.

[usmcamgrimm]

I don't have photoshop yet; wanted to make sure I was going to stick with this before I shelled out the money for it.

I know. But sometimes when you open a indexed image it opens distorted and theres nothing to fix it in Photoshop. So I open it with paint.net then save it and for some reason that fixes it.

huh. I haven't seen that yet. What version are on? I'm running CS6.

Hey just saw you were from Georgia too. Only the cool people are from Georgia, not Hawaii like some other people in this thread lol.

LOL bashing Hicks ftw!

There's CS6? I'm on CS4 lmao.

[DSGMach1]

Oh yeah that is probably the problem. I had CS5 but it had problems with pulling up a white background for what should have been transparent. CS6 has been flawless for me though.

Yeah I have that problem, along with some other weird problems. Perhaps I should upgrade lol.

I might have overlooked this somewhere, but is it possible to see how it looks when I'm partially done? I want to see if the theme looks ok before I continue...
