If you want to tell your whole story you can put it in the theme's meta.xml file. When uploading and adding your theme to this page please keep your descriptions short, we don't want to hear the whole story just the basics. Although background-only themes are possible, they are rather pointless. Please do at least some customization of the GUI images. For the time being, Logos are considered somewhat safe, and can be used (if you really, really have to - it's not the pinnacle of creativity to slap a huge company or game logo in the background).Р”Вo not upload themes containing only a background image 'Fair use' is not applicable either (and a US-only exemption to copyright anyway). Just because you found an image on the internet, it doesn't mean you are allowed to use it.Р”Вo not bend this rule: Cropping, cutting up, changing the colors or filtering an image does not void its copyright. If you are unclear about whether you are allowed to use an image, don't use it. Use only images you created or that are explicitly(!) released to be re-used in other works.

As for HBC 1.1.0, you can take screenshots by connecting a Nunchuk and pressing Z+C (in that order) the screenshot will be written to the SD card as hbc-001.png and up.

Also Newlife has created an application called ThemeHBC as an alternative way to create themes.Р”Вon't worry about taking a screenshot, a qualified volunteer will handle it. To learn about the new font support (The Homebrew Channel 1.1.0 and up), see Homebrew Channel#FontsР”Р‡or those having trouble you can use this file as a template.

When you're done, you can put the images and theme.xml back into the theme.zip, maybe add a meta.xml and icon.png and upload in here. The theme.xml contains information about colors for the text (globally used) and the progress bar, see also Theme.xml Creator. They need to have the same dimensions, filenames and filetypes as the orginals, else the images will be ignored and replaced by the original (Dark Waters) graphics. To create your own theme, extract a theme.zip and replace the graphics. You can also send the theme.zip using Wiiload. If you delete the savegame from the Wii, your theme will be lost, but can be reinstalled simply by clicking the 'app' again. It is stored in the channel's savegame on the Wii, so you can safely remove your SD card or USB mass storage device without losing the theme.
