  • How to create your own theme?

    Is it possible to create your own theme for use with iDVD?
    I know there are some commercially available (e.g. www.ithemez.com), but what tools are needed to create your own?
    Thanks,
    Pete.

    Actually, DVDSP has the ability to do everything that iDVD can do and much much more. The idea is to author your own themes in DVDSP, not use pre-made off the shelf ones... if you want cookie cutter design, go with iDVD. Even with the tutorials below, you are still limited on what you can do... that is a limitation built into the application itself. Perhaps a future version may change all that, but with added flexibility also comes added complexity. Some prefer keeping things simple.
    Here is the complete iDVD 5 tutorial list:

  • Can you create your own Themes

    Please help I'm new to iweb and I'm trying to figure out who to create my own theme, complete with my own color palette, fonts etc? I maintain my sororities website and everything has to be pink and green but I would like for our site to have the professional look iweb provides without all of the hassel of custom coding. I just need a few text pages, calendar, photo album, etc. Feel free to check out our current site if will help you point me in the right direction. http://www.akaupsilontauomega.org/
    thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To create a complete theme with all the different pages takes considerable coding knowledge.
    I think it would be more expedient to start with a blank page of the white theme and add your shapes, colors, photos, etc. that you want to use. Be careful regarding use of non web safe fonts. If you do it can change how the site looks when viewed by visitors on PCs which might not have that font on their machine. See the following regarding web safe fonts:

  • How do you create your own theme?

    I'm into astronomy and I'd like to create my own theme on my phone (6300) for when I'm at a dark site.  We use red light only at dark sites because white light ruins your night vision for longer.  How can I create a red-based colour theme/wallpaper/text etc?

    Actually, the .nth files used as themes for S40 phones such as the 6300 are very simple and you don't really need any software other than a text editor to create them.
    These .nth files are in fact renamed .zip files. Rename one back to a .zip file, unzip it and look at the structure. At the core of it you have a simple XML file describing the various aspects of the theme. If any media (wallpaper, screensaver, ringtone etc.) is referred to in the XML file it'll be bundled in the archive along with the XML.
    Make any changes you want, zip the lot up again, rename it as a .nth file and you're done.

  • Creating your own theme-templates for printing?

    Can I create my own theme-templates for printing?
    /BonneSwe

    No, iTunes printing is quite simple and only works off it's own templates. If you want to customise templates you'd be better advised to look at on of the specialised cover printing programs that are available. DiskLabel is one that springs to mind.

  • Sharepoint foundation create your own theme

    Hi,
    I was wondering.. We recently had a visit from a person who have giving us a presentation of Sharepoint in our company. 
    That person was talking about the free version of Sharepoint -> Sharepoint Foundation and he told us that it was possible just like the normal Sharepoint version to develop an own theme. 
    I have been searching alot over the internet the past days but did not really found where i was looking for. My main job is developing websites (PHP, HTML, Javascript & jQuery, CSS, ...) so i could make a business theme to use in the Sharepoint enviroment.
    But since there is no Design Manager in the foundation version i was wondering how i could link that self made theme to the foundation version? 
    This person who was here for the presentation even gave us some examples of foundation enviroments where they have completely changed the look & feel and style (metro style i.e.) and i was wondering how they have done that with the Sharepoint Foundation? 
    Can someone help me on the way?
    Thanks!

  • Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

    Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

    I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

  • Component integration: Control framework / create your own gui controls

    Hi,
    Does anyone know where to find documentation about creating your own gui controls, like cl_gui_picture.
    For example we would like to make a zcl_gui_movie !!!
    Kind regards

    Hi Keld,

    I have been able to create and use my own control in the SAP GUI - but I'm still trying to figure out how to handle any events raised by that control.
    If all you need to do is use the control to display something (like a movie!) it should work...
    If you can get some form of event processing working PLEASE let me know!!!

  • TIP: Create your own Web Gallery / Journal Themes!

    I didn't see a "proper" way to do this documented in the manual, but hopefully Apple will add that in a future version.
    Until then you can "hack" it in.
    Control-click the Aperture application, choose "Show Package Contents".
    Click "Contents" -> "Resources" -> "English.lproj" -> "WebThemes"
    Copy one of the folders there to another name (say "My Theme"), go into the new directory and edit your custom theme.

    I already started documenting it. ;-P

    Except themes - ready to be imported into iMovie - This require even more skill
    and very special tools eg to make the drop zones etc.

  • Steps to create your own self signed certificate with java plugin working

    You need two tools that comes with your jdk which are keytool and jarsigner.
    Steps explain below in detail. Don't use netscape signtool, it will NEVER work!
    * keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias tstkey -keypass 2br2h2m -dname "cn=Test Object Signing Certificate, o=AI Khalil, ou=Java Products, c=AU"
    cn = Certificate name
    o = organistation
    ou = organistation unit
    c = country (first two letters)
    If don't put the -dname, you can fill it line by line.
    The -keypass has to be verify at the end, and you have to wait for it to create the rsa signing keys.
    On NT by default it will put the alias information at D:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator (if log in as administrator) with the default file called ".keystore". Windows 98 etc, don't know, search for .keystore
    file. When you update it, check for the timestamp change and you know if you at the right spot.
    You can store your alias information via the -storepass option to your current directory you work on, if you don't want to update the default .keystore file?
    The .keystore contains a list of alias so you don't have to do this process again and again.
    Another tip if you want your certificate encryption validity to be more than the default one month is simply
    add the -validity <valDays>, after the -genkey option, to make your certificate usage for encryption to last much longer.
    Note: You MUST use the -keyalg rsa because for starters the rsa encyption alogorthim is supported on ALL browsers instead of the default DSA and the other one SHA. Java plugins must work with the RSA algorthim when signing applets, else you will get all sorts of weird errors :)
    Do not use signtool because thats a browser dependant solution!! Java plugin is supposed to work via running it owns jre instead of the browser JVM. So if you going to use netscape signtool, it starts to become a mess! ie certificate will install, but applet won't start and give you funny security exception errors :)
    * keytool -export -alias tstkey -file MyTestCert.crt
    It will read the alias information in the .keystore information picking up the rsa private/public keys info and
    create your self sign certificate. You can double click this certificate to install it? But don't think this step is needed but maybe for IE? Someone else can check that part.
    If you make a mistake with the alias, simply keytool -delete -v -alias <your alias key>
    If not in default .keystore file, then simply keytool -delete -v -alias <your alias key> -keystore <your keystore filename>
    * Put your classes in your jar file, my example is tst.jar.
    * jarsigner tst.jar tstkey
    Sign your testing jar file with your alias key that supports the RSA encryption alogorthim.
    * jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs tst.jar
    Check that its been verified.
    The last step is the most tricky one. Its to do with having your own CA (Certified Authority) so you don't
    have to fork out money straight away to buy a Verisign or Twarte certificate. The CA listing as you see in
    netscape browsers under security/signers, is NOT where the plugin looks at. The plugin looks at a file called
    CACERTS. Another confusion is that the cacerts file is stored in your jre/lib/security AND also at your
    JavaSoft/Jre/<Java version>/lib/security. When you install the Java plugin for the first time in uses your
    JavaSoft folder and its the cacerts file that has to be updated you add your own CA, because thats where
    the plugin look at, NOT THE BROWSER. Everything about plugin is never to do with the browser!! :)
    * keytool -import -file MyTestCert.crt -alias tstkey -keystore "D:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\security/cacerts"
    Off course point to your own cacerts file destination.
    Password to change it, is "changeit"
    Before you do this step make a copy of it in its own directory in case you do something silly.
    This example will add a CA with alias of my key called "tstkey" and store to my example destination.
    * keytool -list -v -keystore "E:/jdk/jdk1.3/jre/lib/security/cacerts"
    List to see if another CA is added with your alias key.
    Your html, using Netscape embed and Internet explorer object tags to point to the java plugin,
    your own self sign applet certificate should work

    I follow Signed Applet in Plugin, and it's working on
    my computer. Thanks
    But When I open my applet from another computer on
    network, why it does not work ..?
    How to make this applet working at another computer
    without change the policy file ..?
    thanks in advance,
    AnomYou must install the certificate on that computers plugin. Can this be done from the web? can anyone suggest a batch file or otherwise that could do this for end users?
    I want a way for end users to accept my cert as Root or at least trust my cert so I dont have to buy one. I am not worried about my users refusing to accept my cert. just how do I make it easy for them? IE you can just click the cert from a link, but that installs for IE, and not the plugin where it needs to be.

  • Creating your own Xperia Theme?!

    Can the Theme Creator tool from 2010 still be used to create a theme for the Z1 compact?
    I'd like a dark scheme, but none of the canned ones are perfect.
    I wonder why there isn't an app that allows you to choose a background colour, a default/font colour, an accent colour, and perhaps another highlight colour or whatever may be needed.
    This would allow a huge degree of customisation with very little effort.
    It is great that one can exchange icons, etc. by developting a full theme but I reckon just being able to tweak a small number of fundamental colours would be totally sufficient for many users.

    You are on about the white background I take it which is a Google change from Ginger Bread days when it was dark, So the only way I know of is to use a custom launcher or a custom rom as I don't think that theme maker will work on the new KK firmware
