Can anyone direct me to info on how to even begin to making themes? I am having big problem with zooomers. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you both. I got your email BoXXi, but I am completely new at this. Is there a certain program I use to make these? Like adobe and how to you save them in the dx format? I know a little bit and with the right documentation I could figure it out.

Thanks again

Just use any image editor, like Photoshop or whatever, make your image like it shows in the tutorial and just save it as a .bmp image. Then, go to your desktop and with desktopX running, right click the desktop, choose "DesktopX" from the menu then "new Object". then you can configure the object to show your image. Remember to set all the parameters, including how many frames in the image etc. If you get stuck, just right click an existing zoomer, choose "properties" and look at all the parameters set for that image. That's how I learned to make them.
Have fun!!
