If it's not opening, then you've got something wonky in the XML. I'd look
for the ending tags at the bottom of the page. You have to put the custom
color code "inside" the XML, not just tack it on at the bottom.

Ok well that partially answers my question. My thmx file works fine
until
i
open up the xml and try to add colors, and then it doesn't work after I
have
rezipped it. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? I copied
the
xml code for adding colors straight from your website....so I know at
least
that is right....
:
Ah, maybe that's it. Haven't looked at it for awhile -- it's either
HTML
or
Hex colors, can't remember which. Try them both and see. If you've
already
edited the XML., then changing the colors isn't hard.
But using the wrong color set won't cause the file to not open or
anything
like that -- you'll just get colors that aren't what you expect.

Yeah...I've been looking and you seem to be the only one who has
offered
any
instructions on custom colors.
I put in hex colors, should they be html colors instead?
Thanks!
:
Oh, also meant to say that I'm not aware of anything like those
instructions
being published anywhere else.

I am building a custom template and theme in ppt 2007. I was able
to
add
my
theme colors, but would like to add some additional palette
colors.
I
found
Echo Swinford's tutorial on how to edit the xml
(
http://www.echosvoice.com/2007/customcolors1.htm), but have not
been
able
to
get my theme to work adding my custom colors. Does anyone have
any
suggestions on resources with even more detailed xml theme
instructions?
Thanks!
