Creating Garf themes

To make your own theme, you will need to first make graphics (transparent png) for the four buttons (in both states, light and dark).  You should also make a background png.  Save all these graphics in a directory named after your theme.

Next, copy the following file into your directory:
skins.cfg
Now edit it with a text-editor.  It should be pretty self explanatory...some instructions are in the file.  You should specify the filenames, x, y, width, height, and pitch frequency for each of the buttons.

When you are done, you can copy your new Garf theme directory into the following directory:
/private/var/root/Media/Skins/Garf/. 
It should automatically show up on the Garf "Theme" menu the next time you run the game.

For example, if you wanted to make a theme called "OldSchool", you would first create a directory called "OldSchool" and put all of the theme files in it.  You would edit the "skins.cfg" file.  You would then copy the directory onto your iPhone/iPod Touch.  The Garf application will detect the following file: /private/var/root/Media/Skins/Garf/OldSchool/skins.cfg, and will display your theme name on the "Theme" menu.
