![]() ![]() Make sure "Snap to Grid" is turned on View -> Snap To -> Grid.Right click on your Rulers and set them to Percent (If you can't see your rulers, use ctrl+r to turn them on).Set "Style" to Lines (you could use dots or dashes if you prefer, I like Lines).In the "Grid" section set your colour to something light (eg: #bee7ff).Go into Edit -> Preference -> Guides, Grid & Slices.Set up a grid to help with sizing and positioning of elements.save it as "newtheme.xml" (where "newtheme" is the name of your theme).This is my basic workflow for creating a theme What program would you use to design your theme? You say you're a designer, so I'm guessing you'd use Photoshop, or maybe Illustrator (or GIMP or Inkscape)? I'm going to continue as if your answer to my question was "Photoshop", because that's what I use and am familiar with. All it does is give you the coordinates of the items in your design. You don't really need the Theme Helper to make themes. Themes are very simple to make when you already know what to do, but there is quite a bit to them, so the tutorial became quite long. I tried to include everything that a person needed to know, if they started from the Jon Snow point of coding experience (eg: knowing nothing). I'm not saying this is reasonable, but it's still what I want.I'm sorry if the tutorial is complicated. Yes, I know I could use an image editing program, but I already know Visio. I can't do that because I can't crop around the parts. Sometimes, these images need to interact with each other, such as one half of a connector on one image fitting into the other half of the connector in another image. ![]() I use Visio to make up images from graphic artists because I know how to add annotations and callouts. I just want it to be a little more flexible. I am not trying to turn Visio into PhotoShop. If I can get it isolated to a simple example, I'll post it somewhere. I have to manually drag it and then nudge it. If I nudge it back, it comes back off the page. It will get closer and closer and then, wham, it's off the page. I will be trying to nudge something a little closer to something else (or to a guide). It most often occurs when I am zoomed in. I believe it has something to do with the snap settings, but I have never been able to isolate it. Images jump off the page all the time for me. ![]()
