As to what?? Art output? Background size?? Most of these can be answered by the Help File with Theme Builder...Start there and try to be more specific with your questions..

Make clean looking Art...9 out 10 times the Themes that dont look clean are artwork someone found online and tried very poorly to resize the artwork...
or they put JPEG and PNG files in their theme makeing the BB do the work of converting the art on the phone which can lead to memory leaks.

8bit works for most graphics on the blackberry because the screen is so small its hard to see better detail...you can go with a higher bit rate but this will greatly inclrease the theme's overall size..If you are using websafe colors 8bit is more than fine...if your using photrealistic art it will have to higher or it will look pixelated..

I am not to use jpeg or PNG files in the theme building???

What photo types should i use??

no you use .png he meant that people mix them up (i too was confused on this lol)

**do not use jpeg**
