hi,
I wondered if it is possible to use just one element of a theme ?
coz I reallt like the menu-stuff of GUiPod, but don't care much about the rest. (don't get me wrong, it's a beatiful theme..)

Wait until ThemePark 1.2 is released. Then use this trick:

- I want to mix different themes to create a new one, is that possible?
If you want to edit one of my themes to fit your personal preference, that's fine by me. Just as long as you donot redistribute it as your own creation.

Use ThemePark and this trick:

Apply the first theme. Open ThemePark and browse to the elements you want to use. When you have found a category or a single element that you want you select it and choose "Merge with installed elements" from the menu. Repeat for all the elements that you want from that theme.

Save that file as a themepark file.

Then apply the next theme and relaunch ThemePark. Open up the file you saved. Continue selecting elements as before.

Repeat as many times as you like.

When you are done you can go into the File menu and choose to export the theme as a guiKit or DLTA file. Save that theme where you like and then apply it using the theme switcher of your choice. Remember that elements that are not included in your theme will remain Aqua.

Reread b00zo's instructions - you don't open the guiKit file in ThemePark.
