I knew someone would say that in the hopes that I'd need to prove you wrong. Frankly I don't care if that's what you want to think, heck I'll even say that you're right and leave you be.
Here's what I will say regarding my reluctance to share:
1) Essentially what I've done is reverse engineered the process that theme builder takes. I happen to be familiar with this process and was therefore able to do it with nothing but theme builder and this knowledge. As far as I know it's not something that can be shared.
2) It involves a very solid familiarity with number of languages as well as windows and linux (at least the way I did it) and the BlackBerry platform. These take months to learn and can't just be explained.
3) As I've already mentioned I'm not going to start telling people how to make the themes that RIM does. It's part of their business, and I'm not taking away from that. Some PMs have offered my money for information on this. I won't take it, thanks.
4) This was A LOT of work. Far more than anyone puts into the usual icon and colour change in theme builder. Call it vanity but I'd rather that work go into making something original and unique for myself, than to give it out to every joe blow on the street.
Now, if you want a place to start your own changes, I will say that the theme .properties files are a good place to look.
