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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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!

  • How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

    How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
    First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal.  Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity.  The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short.  The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment.  From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location.  This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable.  It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups.  In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
    How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port.  Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router.  There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.   
    In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet.  Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge.  This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.   
    The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT.  I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs.  These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition.  At the very least they can point you to the right direction.  Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
    Log into the current Verizon Router.
    Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
    Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
    Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
    Example:
    IP-STB1
    Connection Type: Ethernet
    * IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    IP Address Allocation: DHCP
    *MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
    * Things you will need to write down
    Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection.  Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
    Remove the Verizon router
    Install your router
    Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
    Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s  (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
    Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.  
    Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
    Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
    Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
    Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality.  It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
    Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.  
    EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

     3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
    Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
    whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
    the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
    there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
    however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
    For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
    Why do you clone the mac addr??

  • 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.
