Creating a sidekick 3 theme can be challenging. You will need to know how to resize background images, and edit them
in adobe photoshop. I will not go into all the different steps that it takes, this information is to help people
who all ready have experience editing and creating photo.
You can download a generic theme, that utilizes all the different images, icons, and sounds here. This sidekick 3 theme
uses a Super mario theme I created, and will show you how the different images work to create the new theme.
Image sizes backgrounds and keyguards: 240px wide X 138px high
Hinge sounds Keep them under 30k. Anything larger can cause problems on the sidekick, and creates larger downloads.
Below are the different settings that can currently be changed on the sidekick 3 for your different themes. Some will how show up on all phones, as you will need some features (such as purchased network games for example).
