How do I create a Buzz theme?

Would love to have a more modern flatter design in Buzz to suit Windows 8 metro design better.
Is it possible to change the icons and replace with my own? If so how?

hi,
theres a few old threads on making themes in the dev section, i found
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=186 and
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=217 after a quick look. those might help, but i think the first thing to do is copy the folder of one of the existing themes in to a new folder and just start messing around with it. make sure to copy the .col file in the buzz\themes directory too, renaming it too your theme. I know at least one of the previous theme's changed the toolbar icons, but I can't remember which. opening up other people's themes and seeing how they did it will probably teach you most of what you want!
if you start and come up against a problem you can't figure out, ask it in the dev forum as someone will see it (eventually
.
hope that helps

To make nice old thems for buzz you search for a tool called "CyanBuzzTheme 1.5" (cytheme.exe) from a packet called "CyanWerks CyanBuzzTools".
This tool is the way to go for custom old *.COL buzz themes and it is awesome.
