+* Theme Configuration
+* Creating Icons
+* Exporting Icons
+* Icon Masks
+* Packaging
+* Building the DEB
+
+## Getting Started
+
+**Note: Without the proper folder structure, your theme may not show up!**
+
+* Create a new folder called `themeName.theme` (Replace themeName with your desired theme name)
+* Within `themeName.theme` folder, create another folder called `IconBundles` (**You cannot change this name**)
+
+## Theme Configuration
+
+* Now, inside the `themeName.theme` folder, create a file called `Info.plist` and paste the following
+
+```
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
+  <plist version="1.0">
+  <dict>
+    <key>PackageName</key>
+    <string>ThemeName</string>
+    <key>ThemeType</key>
+    <string>Icons</string>
+  </dict>
+</plist>
+```
+
+* Replace `PackageName` with the name of the Package and replace `ThemeName` with the Theme Name
+
+Now, you might ask what is the difference between `PackageName` and `ThemeName`?
+
+Well, if for example you want to publish two variants of your icons, one dark and one white but you do not want the user to seperately install them.
+Then, you would name the package `MyTheme` and include two themes `Blackie` and `White` thus creating two entries. More about this in the end
+
+## Creating Icons
+
+* Open up the Image Editor of your choice and create a new file having a resolution of 512x512
+
+**Note: Due to IconBundles, we just need to create the icons in one size and they get resized automatically** :ghost:
+
+**Want to create rounded icons?**
+Create them squared only, we will learn how to apply masks!
+
+## Exporting Icons
+**Note: All icons must be saved as `*.png` (Tip: This means you can even create partially transparent icons!)**
+
+* All Icons must be saved in `themeName.theme>IconBundles` as `bundleID-large.png`
+

+
+### Icon Masks
+
+* Getting the Classic Rounded Rectangle Masks
+
+In your `Info.plist` file add the following value between `<dict>` and </dict>
+
+```
+<key>IB-MaskIcons</key>
+    <true/>
+```
+
+* Custom Icon Masks
+
+**NOTE: This is an optional step, if you do not want Icon Masks, skip this step**
+
+* Inside your `themeName.theme` folder, create another folder called 'Bundles'
+  * Inside `Bundles` create another folder called `com.apple.mobileicons.framework`
+  
+#### Designing Masks
+
+**Masking does not support IconBundles, therefore you need to save the masks for each of the following**
+
+| File | Resolution |
+|------|------------|
+| AppIconMask@2x~ipad.png    | 152x512 |
+| AppIconMask@2x~iphone.png    | 120x120 |
+| AppIconMask@3x~ipad.png    | 180x180 |
+| AppIconMask@3x~iphone.png    | 180x180 |
+| AppIconMask~ipad.png    | 76x76 |
+| DocumentBadgeMask-20@2x.png    | 40x40 |
+| DocumentBadgeMask-145@2x.png    | 145x145 |
+| GameAppIconMask@2x.png    | 84x84 |
+| NotificationAppIconMask@2x.png    | 40x40 |
+| NotificationAppIconMask@3x.png    | 60x60 |
+| SpotlightAppIconMask@2x.png    | 80x80 |
+| SpotlightAppIconMask@3x.png    | 120x120 |
+| TableIconMask@2x.png    | 58x58 |
+| TableIconOutline@2x.png    | 58x58 |
+
+* While creating the mask, make sure that the background is not a solid colour and is transparent
+* Whichever area you want to make visible, it should be coloured in black

+
+### Packaging
+
+* Create a new folder outside `themeName.theme` with the name you want to be shown on Cydia, e.g `themeNameForCydia`
+* Create another folder called `DEBIAN` in `themeNameForCydia` (It needs to be uppercase)
+* In `DEBIAN` create an extension-less file called `control` and edit it using your favourite text editor
+
+Paste the following in it, replacing `yourname`, `themename`, `Theme Name`, `A theme with beautiful icons!` and `Your Name` with your details:
+
+```
+Package: com.yourname.themename
+Name: Theme Name
+Version: 1.0
+Architecture: iphoneos-arm
+Description: A theme with beautiful icons!
+Author: Your Name
+Maintainer: Your Name
+Section: Themes
+```
+
+* Important Notes:
+  * The package field **MUST** be lower case!
+  * The version field **MUST** be changed every-time you update your theme!
+  * The control file **MUST** have an extra blank line at the bottom!
+  
+* Now, Create another folder called `Library` in `themeNameForCydia`
+* In `Library` create another folder called `Themes`
+* Finally, copy `themeName.theme` to the `Themes` folder (**Copy the entire folder, not just the contents**)
+
+### Building the DEB
+
+**For building the deb you need a `*nix` system, otherwise you can build it using your iPhones**
+
+##### Pre-Requisite for MacOS users
+1) Install Homenbrew `/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"` (Run this in the terminal)
+2) Install dpkg, by running `brew install dpkg`
+
+**There is a terrible thing called .DS_Store which if not removed, will cause a problem during either build or installation**
+
+* To remove this we first need to open the folder in the terminal
+
+* Launch the Terminal and then drag-and-drop the 'themeNameForCydia' folder on the Terminal icon in the dock
+* Now, run `find . -name "*.DS_Store" -type f -delete`
+
+##### Pre-Requisite for Windows Users
+* SSH into your iPhone and drag and drop the `themeNameForCyia` folder on the terminal
+
+##### Common Instructions
+
+* You should be at the root of the folder in the terminal, i.e Inside `themeNameForCydia`
+* running `ls` should show the following output
+
+```
+DEBIAN  Library
+```
+
+* Now, in the terminal enter the following `cd .. && dpkg -b themeNameForCydia `
+
+**Now you will have the `themeNameForCydia.deb` in the same directory**
+
+You can share this with your friends :+1:
