Depends. Which theme? Link?
There's a couple theme porters available here on xda, or google. Or you can look into doing it manually, then you can grab what you want and mix and match. It sometimes takes a few tries, but its fun if you like that sort of thing. All you have to do is unzip, swap out the pngs you want, zip and and sign, make an update.zip and flash, or use something like Ninjamorph to stuff it back. Automates the zip, sign, replace.

The Theme that I was interested in coverting over to CM6.2 was the andro green theme originally found in the Hero forum, the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783883
+1 for an answer to this, I'm in the same boat. Tried Theme Porter but I think I'm doing it wrong...
Basically what i ended up doing was just replacing all the appropriate images in the framework-res.apk

what program/app did you use to do this?
It be really easy to port that theme since its already on a same size mdpi device . Only thing that would be a little time consuming is if he made any changes to the xml's which isn't hard to do just takes a little time to sift through it and compile it to your framework based on the rom you are using.

I used dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to decompile the ROM that I wanted to replace the images in the framework-res.apk. I definitely recommend learning how to use it because it will allow you to customize ROMs of your choice and allow u to add and remove apk's in the ROM. And then recompile it.

Not anywhere specifically, I learned by decompiling frameworks and reading tthrough the source xml's and asking and read up in theme threads and Appmanager. But if you have any question about something specific you can pm me

Here's a guide on how to theme.
Hello everyone...
Hope you have enjoyed my work with the Team Lambent Corrosion Kitchen...
Now I am planning to develop a theme kitchen...
Where you will be able to select the different features of the theme, select the files from a list of files with preview.....
Tell me guys, how does this sound??
Do you want me to work on this theme kitchen???
Note: I am busy with too many projects currently, and i will need all you help in making this kitchen.
Also NOTE: I will require permission from all the theme porters, to use parts of their themes...
SO GUYS, WHAT ALL FEATURES DO YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE IN THE THEME KITCHEN ???
Too many projects
I think our theme porters can help you

yea...now i will ask everyone what all features of the theme do they want customized ??
option to change system font colour ..
Is there anyone here that has the time to teach an idiot (namely ME ) how to make/edit roms and all that?
If wrong place for thread please redirect me,THANK YOU!
Editing a full rom is very hard and time taking....just edit SystemUI and framework-res to change the look and feel of rom. For example see my themes...all made on same rom but works on all phones...link below

Whenever you try to change the framework, it is better if you deodex your rom and then replace it. Check this thread for deodexing - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31656960
It should work on other devices too.:victory:

Also it might be caused by Small Spps.
It need some signatures to run on first boot,otherwise it will bootloop.
So you ned to resign the ROM like Pranav Pandey did that in his xNXT.
if your rom has to do with rom control and small apps, then , you MUST remove small apps support.
check sandy7 guide, and invert it
