Here is how to Modify Plazmic ThemeBuilder 4.5 to Export Custom Themes in OS 4.2.2

you need to edit some files..but its REAL easy. Do it at your OWN RISK….

1) make sure Themebuilder is CLOSED (Alt+ F4)

2) locate the Plazmic CDK 4.5 in your Program files directory. (e.g C:\\Users\program_files\Pla _****\....

3) go to the directory RESOURCES

4) select the file THEMES

5) look for 2 folders. 1 is dimension240×260, the other dimension 320×240.

6) within the dimension 240×260 there is a file called 8100Custom. Open with Wordpad or Notepad.

7) Edit the following lines to look like this:
The files are found in the Resource/Theme directories, then the 240×260 directory (will have the 8100 files) the 320×240 (will have the 8300, 8800 files) I’d suggest not changing the 7100 or 8700 (is there an os 4.5 for 8700?) files:

these are the lines you edit:

theme.supportedHandheldOs = 4.2.2,4.5
theme.preferredHandheldOs = 4.5
theme.importOs = 4.2.2,4.3.1

Go to the dimension320×240 file and do the same for the 8300Custom, 8800Custom.

I don’t think you will find it necessary to edit the 7100 or the 8700 (are the 8700’s going to be using OS 4.5?)

HOPE IT WORKS FINE!
