Editing theme in desktop

[Andrew Heard]

Only make one tiny change at a time (unless you know what you are doing) then check/ test; make the next tiny change. Repeat. Yes it's very tedious but I know of no other way; always have a backup. I do the editing on Windows as you can see more of the file & have better facilities for bookmarks etc.

Guys I want to customize a theme which was by the map (androidandromaps). I read the thread and there is really no real WYSIWYG editor for this? All just manual copy paste, hex color codes ect? How so that there is no easy tool just for xml edit?

If you use notepad++ yhrre is a colour picker add on available that makes tweaking colours quicker/easier.
