I made a theme, but when I go into desktop manager, I can't get it. I am a newbie. I dont know if I didnt save it correctly or what. If i choose 'all files', I see it.

Did you navigate to where the ALX file was exported?

go to file->export->alx file then in desktop manager go to application loader and browse and go to the alx file

I have a similar problem. I have made my first two themes, very simple, but when I dl them to my Tour they end up in the applications folder, not themes. I am also having a problem trying to check them out on the simulator. I get a message that says "no simulators found for devices of size 480 x 360." This is while I am still in the theme builders folder.I was later able to open a simulator separately but had no idea how to copy my theme over to it to check it out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Opening the simulator is from TB or CP is never a sure thing, usually a sure thing not to work. So opening by itself is the best way.

To load your theme - go to file>load java program - then navigate to your alx file. It should appear in your theme options or if your using os 5.0 for the storm it will automatically detect you loaded it and ask you if you want to activate it.

I have no idea what you are doing to have them appear in your applications folder, I haven't seen that one....yet lol.

Note to newbies - Theme building isn't an easy thing - well it is but TB and CP love to make it as hard as possible.
