Guide/tips/instructions for making a theme?

[freakintoddles]

Hi, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for some resources explaining how to make a theme for sapphire (or any other rom I suppose) I have some ideas of what i'd like my phone to look like but I have no idea where to start. Thanks.

I believe there is a guide out there created by a few themers. I never looked at it, and I dono where to find it, sorry. You can always PM me if you have some questions past ADB and such......... (have fun with 9-patching! haha)
