Is there documentation anywhere on how to create your own theme? I'm new to YAF (but not new to modifying scripts/web apps). Can anyone give me a general overview on what to do? Also if you know if there's documentation on upgrading to the newest version (coming from v1.0.0) that would be helpful. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any documentation. I've been searching for the same thing, but I'm just not finding it. So, I'm trying to come up with some, I'm taking one of the other theme and re-coding it and as I do so writing a sort of "How To" guide for it.
When I'm done with it, I'll share it ^_^
If anyone else has already done this, or knows of someone who has, please share with us :) I love the yetanotherforum but its diffcult as hell to re-style it if you don't know what your doing!

I just started looking at it myself, but this is probably one of the easiest theme system I have ever work with. :)
Here is how I did it:
1. Copy an existing "xml" template file in the "themes" folder (such as "yafpro.xml" ), and paste it in the same directory, renaming it to the theme name you want (something like "mytheme.xml" ).
2. Open the xml file in notepad or an xml editor, and change the following tag's attributes to your theme:
[code]
[/code]
3. Go through each image in the "BUTTONS", "ICONS", "SORT" and "VOTE" sections, and replace them with the name of images you wish to use for your theme.
4. Copy the "yafpro" folder, and rename it to the name you specified for the "dir" attribute above.
5. Open the file "theme.css" and change / replace the style sheet with the style sheet you wish to use for your theme.
6. Delete all existing images in the "mytheme" directory, and replace them with your own images.
7. Log in to the Admin section's Board Settings menu option and select your theme from the list of themes in the combo box.
That should do it!
