So i have always wanted to create my own themes for a jailbroken device i just never knew where to start or what i would need. Any pointers on how to get started? do i need to know how to code or anything like that?

It depends on what kind of theme you want to create. If you just want to create icons, photoshop/gimp is what you need to create icons and a basic knowledge of how to bundle icons. If you want to create lockscreen/homescreen widgets, you need a basic knowledge of html/css. It's a little slow right now, but I recommend joining http://dbarevolution.com as far as widgets go.

Thanks lol. I was thinking of making a complete theme maybe a widget or ls. I do have only a year seeing as I would be doing this as a project for school.
