The way I make my theme file is to put the theme in the theme folder and then apply it with WSB, then add the wallpapers and other stuff to the themes Folder and set them as a background and then open the personalization menu and set the colours and anything else you want to change with the theme, you can also have an icon folder with your theme and set the icons in the personalization menu for the recycle bin computer, network and so on and then once you are happy with all the settings you can save your new theme in the personalization menu.

Now that's all good for you but you are probably thinking, how does that help me with getting a theme file so others can install it, well that's when you have to find the file you just made when you saved your theme and it can be found in C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes, you will need to change your folder options to show hidden folders so so can access the appdata folder, now all you have to do is take the theme file you saved from there and put it in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and your theme is good to go, now just put it all in a zip and post it :)

Yeah it should be exactly the same thing with 1.4

make sure you have done the patch for 1.4 before you use the theme though or you will not be able to log on to the OS
