[*~Nimsrules~*]

I think u hav 2 edit the .pskn file. open it in wordpad n check wats green, change it 2 ur preferred color. I hope this one helps u out.

I've tried that already nothing happens, I even found a theme that showed the exact menu and color I wanted so I replaced that pskn with the one for my theme, Every thing changed but the menu I'ts still green, I can't figure out how to change the color of the menu? It's the only thing I don't understand about themes everything else is crystal clear

Ok I finally figured my problem out it was in the .skn file. But What I dont understand is after I unpacked the skin and got the motoskin.skn.png file how do Add the items to the file? Cause the png picture is alot of images in one pic So how do I take images out and and new images?

You edit this one file only. If you use photoshop, you could break them up into layers, edit them and merge them back. Be careful while editing the skn file though, its one of the easiest ways to freeze your phone on startup. Make sure all the blank areas in the skn file are respected

sorry that i could not reply(was studying whole day)
for this query, i suggest that you see the guide of making skin and see there the size of each image, then just open the .skn file and overlay that image on it and place that at its position.
this is the way i do it cause it places the image in the right place

No need to say sorry I figured u were busy studying , I'm going to try ur way it seems alot easier. I'm still a little fuzzy on one part, When you say open the .skn file and overlay that image on it and place it the position I want, If I open the file won't it bring the whole picture up with all the icons? And open it with what photoshop? For some reason everytime I try to find photoshop it's not free and to try the trial version I have to sign up or something is there any way around this. Did u pay for photoshop?

download paint.net and use that it has many features and easy to use.
overlay, i mean to say that see the size of the image from Guide by eakrin(eg: size of an arrow or sbar in .skn file) then open .skn file in paint.net and open the arrow or sbar image which you desire to have, then copy this image and paste it on the .skn image then zoom and move that image and place it on the default arrow part in that way the new image is overlayed on previous one, do this for each image of.skn file.
see the guide and read how to create .skn file you will understand more about it.

* Open PAIN.NET
* Open both the image(motoskin.png & the image you want)
* Copy your image.
* Paste it on motoskin.png image
* Move to its exact place
* do this for all parts.
