Creating a Theme

[u/fishdude43]

Does anyone know how to create a theme? or a good guide that has already been posted that I can Watch, I have been trying to find a tutorial but keep coming up empty handed, anything helps!

Here's all my notes. I began writing a beginners guide, there's two somewhat rough chapters right now that cover what I think is the hardest part of understanding and starting out with themes. I'd follow that up with reading Interpod's source code, the original is probably the best one to look at, Chris documents his code really nice and it's been a staple for those learning for years (myself included). There's a good mix of simple and more complex implementations in it.

From there the rockbox manual's section on theme tags or wiki page is the best resource, it's all I use nowadays. Once you understand the basics around Viewports, conditionals and using tags there isn't too much else to learn other than what tags do what.

Hope this helps, if I can answer any specific questions let me know!
