Building a theme for the e61 is not an easy exercise for many. A complicating factor is that a theme builder like Carbide.ui does not only allow to make themes for the e61 but basically for all Symbian s60 platforms. As not all s60 versions are the same, there are many properties an layouts which are not universal over the individual platforms. Basically (although there is a user guide available) I learned by doing.
Some of those learnings I would like to share on mye61.com in order to help and stimulate others to create your own themes. These learnings will be split in a step by step approach. In the end all steps together should help you to build your own theme.
All efforts learning to build a theme will not necessarily results in a good theme. A good theme in the end is for a large part based upon one’s creativity and some skills in terms of PhotoShop (or any other similar application) will for sure help … 
First step soon to be released on my-e61-theme.
Hope you find it useful.
