Re: Creating Themes In Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)
The TemplateID needs to be 8 characters or less and all alpha-numeric.
Change it to something like HSHOTSPT and you should be fine.

Re: Creating Themes In Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)
Bil:
Thanks for this most excellent advice; progress has been achieved! However,
when I apply the theme I now get the error message, "A theme with the name
"HSHOTSPT 1011" and version already exists on the server." I've not yet
stopped and restarted IIS but will ask my Administrator Team to do that for
me. Do you think that will correct this error, or is this indicative of
problem more difficult to solve?
Regards and thanks,

Bil:
Unfortunately IISRESET did NOT resolve this problem. I continue to get the
same error message, "A theme with the name "HSHOTSPT 1011" and version
already exists on the server." Can you help, please?

Re: Creating Themes In Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)
Do you have a space in the theme name? I don't believe you can use
spaces.

RE: Creating Themes In Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)
Bil:
No I don't have a space. Here's my entry out of SPTHEMES.XML:
<Templates>
<TemplateID>HSHOTSPT</TemplateID>
<DisplayName>HotSpot Program Deliveryv v1.0</DisplayName>
<Description>Description</Description>
<Thumbnail>../images/thevrgrn.png</Thumbnail>
<Preview>../images/thHSPD.gif</Preview>
</Templates>
Any other thoughts?
