LITTLE TUTORIAL FOR USE TPF FILES ON THEME STUDIO

Theme Studio 1.2, [Only registered and activated users can see links]
Tpf file [Only registered and activated users can see links]@scoSIcons.zip
A good graphic tool, i use Macromedia Fireworks, but there are also good Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw, or The Gimp, that is free [Only registered and activated users can see links]

It is important to have a powerful pc (from 2 ghz and higher), with 512 Megabyte ram and a good graphic card (128 Mb)... I suggest to use Theme Studio java machine and not windows one... ;)

So, we can start:

Open TS, and click on File -> Import and select tpf file from the path you saved it (eg. C:)...

With Browser go on the path there are images you wuold like to use

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2821%29.jpg

double click on the image you choose

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2822%29.jpg

click on Save, image name will disappear from Fix List. Go on Fix List box and click twice on the first image of the list, and repeat the operation above for all images.

As you arrive to List Highlight, i suggest to change just the one called List Highlight, and not the one named New List Highlight, it has already the correct mask.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2824%29.jpg

Now, as all images are changed, click ON COLOURS.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2826%29.jpg

You can change one colour per time, if you already like it, jist select another option.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2827%29.jpg

Select the colour you need and click on Ok in colour box, then Save

Now click on CHECKOUT

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2828%29.jpg

If you like your work, click on continue! :))

Now insert th theme name, the sis name and the author name, then click. Do not write in the other fields, or theme should not been created

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2829%29.jpg

As all fields are written, click on ok

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2830%29.jpg

If you worked good, there'll appear the dialog box showing you some options (Show Report, Transfer Theme or Cancel)

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2831%29.jpg

In my humble opinion is better to save all themes in a folder, sometimes Theme Studio "forget" files... ;)

Select if send it via infrared or to local storage device

[Only registered and activated users can see links]@sco%20%2832%29.jpg

If the second one, select a folder on your hard disk and press ok.

Compliments, your new theme is now readyto use and to share! ;)

Hope to have been useful, have fun! :)
