Scratch Desktop Theme

I'm making a Scratch Desktop theme, and I'd like to share it with everybody on scratch. Does anybody know how to share themes so they can be downloaded?

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

Cool. For a PC or Mac. I think Toasty was confused with a Scratch OS. Well, do you have it online somewhere? (Does it work with XP?). If you do, send me the link to it. I'd gladly download it.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

Take a screen shot then post it on Photobucket. After that post the link here. I want to see how it looks. Also, you should probably search how to do this on google.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

I have searched on google. Here's the screenshot (of my desktop)http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/t1661768_scratchdesktop2.PNG
It's not finished in this picture though. I used desktop Architect if anyone was wondering.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

The good news- I uploaded
The bad news- I have to wait for it to be "accepted" The site I used to host it is www.themesunlimited.com

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

Is there another place where you can upload it? I'm surprised that a file needs to be "accepted" in order to be shown to the public. That site is cluttered with ads too, so i don't know why they are focused on quality in their files.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

Another site you could use is Deviant Art. I know they allow uploaded themes.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

When do you know if it's been accepted and what did you call it?

It doesn't actually, you can get subscriptions and stuff that cost money, but you can have an account without paying (I do, I'm 'MyOneAndOnlyEvilTwin).

You need to include EVERYTHING in the zip folder, or else it won't work.

1) Get all of the files included in your theme and put them in the folder with the theme (I'm gonna call the folder Z for now).

2) Open up the theme (not Z) and relocate all of the stuff (background, icons, etc.) to the copies in the folder (Z).

Then, copy the folder and upload that.

Re: Scratch Desktop Theme

HELP I DO TRY BUT IT SAY THIS AND I QUOTE


The theme could not load because one of the needed theme files could not be found. This can happen with themes that are not installed or authored correctly.You should verify that the wallpaper,screensaver,icons,sounds, and other files are in the correct location.

Themme: C:\Documents and Settings\Sophie Roche\My Docments\Z\Scratch.Theme

Does anyone know what I did wrong?
