Put a reference to the preview image in the ThemesThumbs array. You specify it with @drawable/ic_theme_<your theme name> matching the file created for the thumbnail without the extension. It must be in the same position as the item you added to the Themes array.

Add an item to the ThemeList array. It should be @style/AppTheme.<your theme name>. It must be in the same position as the previous two arrays.

Create a new XML element in this file to declare your new theme. The item in ThemeList is pointing to this.

Set these to reference your images. themedDialBackground should have the image with ticks. themedEmptyDialBackground and themedBlankDialBackground should have the ones without. This example is backwards.

This may be used in the future if we add the stopwatch feature back.

These can be used to control the blur effect when the dial is moving. It shows a light in the wake of the needle.

Controls the color of the min/max triangle.

This must be set to @color/aqua. It tells the app to use an image for the needle instead of just a square.

You can set positive and negative padding to control how far inside or outside the ticks show. Positive padding is inside.
