Hello All,

So, there are a ton of really kick butt themes out there, however, some of them, IMOH, need a slight mod. Not that I would release it publicly (unless there is adequate permissions).

I find that this is also a great way for us noobs to learn how to make a theme.

My question is what do I need to mod a theme? So far, I have downloaded ThemePark 2, but it won't open a .guikit file.

Let me know,

Ryan

Maybe I should make this a new thread, but...

I think I might try modding some themes so I can learn about the process. What would help me greatly is a key that will tell me what all of these resources in a decompiled GUIKit do. A lot of them are pretty obvious, but some aren't. For example, where is the file I mod to make changes to the color of the sidebar? I opened the Finder rsrc in Themepark and didn't see it, but maybe I don't know what I'm looking for or am looking in the wrong place.
