# EvolveSMS Example Theme

This theme is just an example of what you can do with the theme engine for evolve, the whole process is fairly straightforward.

Steps to creating a custom EvolveSMS theme:

1. Rename the package name in the AndroidManifest.xml file to whatever you want, it just needs to be different from what I have and what others have done, you can't install the same package multiple times on a device
2. Edit each of the meta-data attributes defined in the AndroidManifest.xml to whatever you want for your theme, any combination of any of them should work fine
3. Change the icon.png file to whatever you want in each of the drawable folders (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi and xxhdpi)
4. Add nine-patch resources for the different background types that you want to be shown for the message bubbles. For example, here is where you would put the iOS message bubbles if you were making an iOS theme
5. Edit the message layout xml file to match how you want the padding on your message item to look, ect.
6. Edit the text colors defined in the colors resource file
7. Compile the app and install it on your phone
8. Set the theme in the Theme Settings section of EvolveSMS near the bottom
9. Fix any problems with the theme and make it look perfect
10. Put it up on the Google+ community for everyone to enjoy! https://plus.google.com/communities/101722781061844311332/stream/e88cabc6-1e5d-4fc3-8059-ed8d56d8ec20
