Default Convert/Import OS5 theme into Themebuilder 6.0

I searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find one (maybe I was searching for the wrong string)...Anyway, I customized a sample theme that was provided with Theme Builder 5.0 to my liking and have been using it for a while.

I'm very happy with the theme, but want to now convert it for use on OS 6. I can't find an easy way to import it or convert it. When I try to load the thm file in TB6, it says the file isn't supported.

This must be possible, I can't imagine you'd have to start themes from scratch.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

As far as I know Theme Builder 6 still does not support conversions.

no it doesn't. You need to start from scratch. The most you can do.. is import the svg if the screen size is the same.

That stinks. Really stinks. But thanks. Is this a feature that is typically supported?

you can import the full theme, however with different sized banners and this being a beta, id say better not to do so and start from scratch, shouldnt be too hard if you`ve already got the bits there

Agreed. You can do it, but not the best idea. Where I ran into issues was on the app screen banner. I had modified mine in TB5, and since you can't in TB6, it created issues.

BTW, my TB6 experience is all of one theme that I updated for OS6.

but ya gotta love iot for trying to compress your banner image to fit the os6 banner lol, plus to be fair, the icon size being different now for 480x360 devices (now same size as torch) means there not much point anyways
