How to make your theme compatible with this software:

A ctmz theme package is a zip file containing three files; default.dll, details.txt, and thumbnail.png

default.dll - This is the resource file containing the theme, there are many methods to creating them, we suggest the method we describe our tutorial Creating a Custom Theme

details.txt - This is a text file containing information about your theme, it has a very precise ordering as follows:

#name <name of the theme> #creator <your name> #website <your website url> #copyright <your copyright message> #notes <additional notes, keep to one line, limit to 150 characters> #builder <software used to build the theme, can be left blank>

Replace all the entires surrounded by < > with the information for your theme.

thumbnail.png - The thumbnail for your theme, size is 200 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall.

Once you have placed these three files into a zip, change the file extension to ctmz and you now have a compatible theme package.
