When you add an image to a theme, the BlackBerry® Theme Builder stores the converted image as part of the theme.
If the image is not a .png file, BlackBerry Theme Builder converts the image to a .png file. If you change the source
image, the BlackBerry Theme Builder does not update the image in the theme automatically; you must reload the
source image into the theme to update it. If you added the image previously to a catalog and you want a current
version, you must remove it from the catalog and then add it to the catalog again.

image.
The drop-down list appears.

After you update the images for your theme in an image editor, instead of replacing the files individually in the
BlackBerry® Theme Builder, you can replace all the images at one time. The files and folders where you keep your
images must mirror the following structure and naming conventions that the BlackBerry Theme Builder uses:
• The folders where you keep your images must have the same names as the folders where the BlackBerry Theme
Builder stores the default images. To see the folder names, you can navigate to the Images folders in the
BlackBerry Theme Builder program files (C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Theme Studio
6.0\samples\Themes\Images\BlackBerry6_360x480) . For example, if you update images for the banner, you
must create a folder with the name banner.
