There are many free programs out on the internet to use for creating themes, but personally for me, the free and most effective program is the Lasyk mTC v2. Best suited for beginners and will also suit the needs of an avid theme creator. You can also use the program to read themes, for example ones you can download from websites. Insert the website: Lasyk Networks myThemeCreator - mTC v2, and press ‘Get mTC’ and simply select the program type most suited to you.
It will ask you where to download the program to, and simply select anywhere on your desktop. That installs the “install” program for the mTC v2 on your computer. Now simply, select where you want the theme creator to be located and it will then automatically install onto your computer. Remember to save the program to a location you will remember, as I have had experiences forgetting the program location.
Open up the Lasyk mTC v2 program, and you will see a bunch of screens on the top and various options for you to select. I would recommend selecting the images you plan to use for the themes, as after browsing through my files for some time, the program would freeze up. Press graphic editor and you will see a large box and you can select your images.
The feature I find most useful, is that after selecting the image, you have the option to either crop the image to the required screen size (select in the section Device Selection), or to Resize the image. After applying the images onto the theme, you need to apply to the theme and save to your computer. The option to change the color of the text, the size of the clock and other features is also great. Extremely useful function as if the text does not blend with the color of the background, you will be able to change it.
After you are comfortable with your theme layout and design, head towards the top left corner of the program and press File. Find ‘Save as’ and the theme will save to your computer as a theme file, which you can easily upload to your phone immediately after finishing the theme.
Overall, this is a well laid out theme creating program, easy to use and takes probably no more than 10, 15 minutes to create a theme. Would recommend this to anyone interested in creating their own themes, and also a helpful tool for reading theme files after you have downloaded them. 5 stars for the Lasyk mTC v2 program!
