Hello.

The only way to create a .bbtheme file is to install the theme (colors and buttons) and use the Export feature in the styles management.

The skin creators don't use much the export/import system because the pictures are hosted in their Web space or image host when they test their own skin, and when we use the export/import feature, this memorize the pics' URL, so if they spread whole skins in .bbthemes, there is more and more hotlinking on their Web host.

To explain more :
Personally, I am a skin creator and I host my pics on my photobucket account and my monthly bandwidth is limited to 10 GB and I don't want to have my account suspended for bandwidth exceed, and If I spread pics bbthemes, these pics will stay hosted on my photobucket account... So I export colors only.
I use the full theme export only if I test a skin which will be destined for a specific board (that's what I did for this support forum's skin).
