To create your own theme, extract a theme.zip and replace the graphics. They need to have the same dimensions, filenames and filetypes as the orginals, else the images will be ignored and replaced by the original (Dark Waters) graphics. The theme.xml contains information about colors for the text (globally used) and the progress bar, see also [[Theme.xml Creator]]. When you're done, you can put the images and theme.xml back into the theme.zip, maybe add a meta.xml and icon.png and upload in here.

For those having trouble you can use [[Media:HBCtheme_HBC_Template.zip|this file]] as a template. Also {{User|Newlife}} has created an application called [[ThemeHBC]] as an alternative way to create themes.

Don't worry about taking a screenshot, a qualified volunteer will handle it. External framebuffer dumps and analog captures are preferred for authenticity. Other theme screenshots taken with [[ThemeShooter]] are referred to as "Themeshot's".

Don't worry about taking a screenshot, a qualified volunteer will handle it. As for HBC 1.1.0, you can take screenshots by connecting a Nunchuk and pressing Z+C (in that order); the screenshot will be written to the SD card as hbc-001.png and up. This is the preferred method. Other theme screenshots taken with [[ThemeShooter]] are referred to as "Themeshot's".
