How to create & install a mood theme

Part 1 - Making the moods

You need to find 132 images to suit these emotions (in the table below). Make a folder on your computer and put your images there, named, for example "accomplished.jpg". Once you've got all 132 then you can edit the pictures and colorize them to make them all pretty. Save them, either overwrite the original image, or make another new folder.

Here's an easy way to make the images:
Take your screencap, resize it, paste it into a new image (i used size 90x40).
Duplicate it 3 times, set those layers to screen, add a layer of saturation +10 and here's what you get.

This is fairly time consuming. The hardest part is finding all the pictures to use.
Read through the list, and you can use similar pictures for many of the moods.
For example, pictures of people smiling for the moods bouncy, cheerful, ecstatic, excited, giddy, good, etc...

01 - 22	23 - 44	45 - 66	67 - 88	89 - 110	111 - 132
accomplished aggravated amused angry annoyed anxious apathetic artistic awake bitchy blah blank bored bouncy busy calm cheerful chipper cold complacent confused contemplative	content cranky crappy crazy creative crushed curious cynical depressed determined devious dirty disappointed discontent distressed ditzy dorky drained drunk ecstatic embarrassed energetic	enraged enthralled envious exanimate excited exhausted flirty frustrated full geeky giddy giggly gloomy good grateful groggy grumpy guilty happy high hopeful horny	hot hungry hyper impressed indescribable indifferent infuriated intimidated irate irritated jealous jubilant lazy lethargic listless lonely loved melancholy mellow mischievous moody morose	naughty nauseated nerdy nervous nostalgic numb okay optimistic peaceful pensive pessimistic pissedoff pleased predatory productive quixotic recumbent refreshed rejected rejuvenated relaxed relieved	restless rushed sad satisfied scared shocked sick silly sleepy sore stressed surprised sympathetic thankful thirsty thoughtful tired touched uncomfortable weird working worried

Don't know some of the meanings? Here are some of the stranger ones...

Apathetic: blah, emotionless, uncaring, uninterested
Complacent: satisfied, tolerant
Enthralled: enrapt, fascinated, interested
Exanimate: dead, finished, gone
Indescribable: impossible, speechless
Irate: annoyed, angry, enraged, mad
Listless: bored, careless, lethargic, uninterested
Melancholy: gloomy, miserable, sad
Morose: depressed, gloomy, sad
Nostalgic: homesick, lonely, longing, sentimental
Pensive: pondering, reflective, thoughtful
Predatory: brutal, greedy, mean, ruthless
Quixotic: eccentric, goofy, impulsive, weird
Recumbent: calm, lying down, relaxed

Part 2 - Installing the theme

Upload all your images to a server. Use a host where they can all be uploaded together, in their own folder. Hosts like photobucket or a personal host are best. Not tinypic or imageshack, that makes things more difficult. For those photobucket users, I highly recommend Flock. You can upload 100's of pics with one click.

Next step is creating the code. Copy and paste this into notepad...

With the code open in Notepad, go to Edit > Replace (CTRL + H)

Go to Edit > Replace again, type "123456" into 'Find what:' and 'Replace with:' your new number.

Now, copy the entire notepad code into the admin console box and click execute. Finished!
Go to Display and use your new theme.
