How-To: Custom Mood Themes
There's been some discussion of how to set up mood themes here already, but I wrote up my notes on How To Make Your Custom Mood Theme in a comment on someone's journal, and I thought they might be worth sharing here as well:
Basically, you need to:
a) upload your images somewhere
b) copy the text block from here (all the lines of "moodtheme_setpic 1234 90 http://www.yourdomain.com/accomplished.jpg 100 60" etc) into a simple text editor such as Notepad
c) go to the console (the reference is here, if you wanted to look at it).
d) create your moodtheme with "moodtheme_create " - eg "moodtheme_create "SGA moodtheme" "SGA doodle moodtheme"" or whatever
e) find-and-replace:
f) go back to the console and paste in the edited block of text
ta-da, instant moodtheme!

e) find-and-replace:
- www.yourdomain.com with whatever the actual path to your image files is
- .jpg if your files are .png or .gif, etc
- 100 60 if your images are a size other than 100px by 60px
- 1234 with your actual theme number, as created in step c)
f) go back to the console and paste in the edited block of text
ta-da, instant moodtheme!
