I have installed the Microsoft Theme Generator and the Spb Pocket Plus Extended Theme Generator. I am able to create my own thmes using these products. My problem is that when I go to save these creations to "My Device Themes" I get the following message: Reqired file(s) tdywater.gif is missing. Please copy the file(s) to the folder: c:/Documents and Settings\...\My Documents\My Device Themes and try again.
My question is, How do I create the "tdywater.gif" file and get it into the above folder?
I know this may be a dumb question, but I am not all that computer literate and could sure use the help.
Thanking all of you in advance for your help.

I don't know if you have found your answer, but a theme .tsk file is really just a renamed cab file. Using software that is can unpack a cab file, such as the freeware alzip, you can extract the tdywater and stwater gif files from existing themes and use those as your base. Also the gif extension is needed for the theme to work, but it can be a gif file or a jpg or even a bmp. When you are ready to use it in a theme, it must have the tdywater or stwater name and the gif extension. Hope this helps.
