Dear forum members,

This is a simple way to create a 6.5 theme:

1. Using your 6.1 MyOwn.tsk file, for me Mobile_Vista.tsk and

2. Creating your MyOwn_theme.cab with the following cab structure, using:

2.1 Your favorite stwater_240_320.jpg and stwater_320_240.jpg icons.

2.2 Your favorite bar icons shown as MyOwn_****.png where MyOwn can be your alias or name.

3. Install your theme as follows:

3.1 First install your 6.1 MyOwn.tsk as usual

3.2 Install your MyOwn.cab with your favorite file exlorer and

3.3 Now power off your device (not reset) and then power on.

If you know how to convert it to MyOwn_theme.provxml or MyOwn_theme.xml, then this is another way too.

Till next version, enjoy!!

Regards, ansar.
