Hmmm...you can do it manually after the theme is complied with errors open "theme.atz" and edit tfa file. If it sounds difficult I can try to explain it with more details or you can send the theme and the cursors files and I'll do it for you.

.ATZ files are simply .zip files renamed. Just take "theme.atz" and rename it to "theme.zip" and use your favorite/preferred archive program to open it. When finished editing, simply reverse the steps. Use your archiving program to compress the theme back into "theme.zip" and then just rename it to "theme.atz".

[krstatzar]

Ok once you open atz file you'll see tfa file, each for every resolution, need to edit it, open it using notepad or any other text editor, find the line [SysCursors] and edit it to look like in the example below If you cannot find line [SysCursors] copy and paste part from below only make sure file names are right. I would suggest you to add it above the [plugins] part

It should look something like this

i think i understood with cursors... i have another questions to finish my theme.

May i ask here, or better create another topic? -_-

[krstatzar]

Go ahead I'll split topics if I think it is needed

[anowl]

Heh
so, next question. I have some plugins in my theme. I want to add them to my theme with MY settings, with MY icons (e.g. firefox, opera etc.). Or Panel plugin... When i give my theme to a friend - he has default panel (with my skin, but not with my settings, i mean the number of tabs, programs)... am i doing something wrong, or maybe it's normal?

[krstatzar]

Yes that is normal for a panel plugin, it is made that way so that the panel items don't change on each theme change since people put some effort in organizing it and ....poof they're gone.

However if you are interested you can apply your panel (and all the other plugins) settings at your friends's computer by copying "current theme" folder and "plugins .rc" file from yours to his machine.

But remember that all the absolute paths will be applied. If you have a shortcut for Opera and your path is for instance C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\ and your frien has it under D:\Opera it won't work. Just a reminder

[anowl]

hehe, thanks... i'll try to finish it soon (;

[anowl]

And another question.

There is in config.tfa:

[Desktop]
T=601
R="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe"
X=450
Y=20
*
T=601
R="D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\Flash.exe"
X=500
Y=20
*

etc.

It's my desktop icons. Will they add to someone who'll try to use my theme?

[anowl]

i finished this theme...
i've changed icons, but they didn't changed...


...it's simple, but i like it
