Theme development

[Beldaran]

I don't know where the frozen topic went, so I thought I'd post these quetions I have:

All right. I think I would like to make a theme. I have some questions, however. I have taken a nice screen shot and moved it into adobe photoshop. How can I change the the link text? You know, like "General Discussion" and what not? And do I need to submit a sheet of hexadecimal color codes corresponding to what I change when I submit the design? Perhaps I am making it in the wrong program? Do I make it as a web page? How do I make this so that I will be able to submit it? What is the correct process?

Thank you in advance for any advice, tips, and comments.

Most people either made an AGN template, or used a web publishing program and Saved the main forum page and "edited" it within the web program.

Most people just give me a logo picture, and a sheet of hex codes for each alterable element of the forums. These would include background color, text color, link color, category header color and text, 1st and 2nd alternating colors, and several others.
