There are 3 steps to create a new template:
1. Define a name: This name is very important and case sensitive. It
will be used to reference the new template
2. Create the config file: create a file called theme.cfg
and place it in the following directory:
themes_config/theme_name/theme.cfg
Edit the theme.cfg to reflect the changes as follows:

Note: Only use GIF images.
The zip file structure:
theme_name
-------------themes
------------------name

placed here)
-----------------------rect (All the images used for creating the templates,
i.e. line, corners,.. are placed here)
