adding new dialog to a New theme

We created a new set of dialogs for our new theme. We started with the swoosh and modified the look and feel. We added a new dialog to this new theme, but when I choose the new theme in InstallAware the new dialog does not seem to be part of the new theme. How can we add this dialog to the theme? Is there a file like a .theme file I am not seeing?
Thanks
Paul

Dear Paul,
Themes are basically folders that contain a collection of customized dialogs. So, to create a theme called Paul, you would create a folder named Paul inside your InstallAware installation folder \ Dialogs directory and put your dialogs there.
Was that at all helpful?

Aviv,
Not really.. I did that I created a folder. Edited some dialgos I copied from the an existed theme and saved them to the new folder. I also saved a new dialog to this theme folder and called it SelectVersion.dfm. When I choose this new theme in Dialogs section in InstallAware I do not see the new dialog SelectVersion in the Dialog Sequence section.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, could you send your dialogs to support at installaware.com?
Thanks

Dear Paul,
I received your dialogs - I put the folder you sent me (lets call it Paul) in $ProgramFiles$\InstallAware\InstallAware 10\Dialogs. I then opened InstallAware and went to the MSIcode tab. I right-clicked dialogs -> Add Dialogs to Project. I selected the theme "Paul" from the list and the dialog you said that doesn't show up was indeed added to my project. Are you sure you followed the same steps I did?
Thanks

Aviv,
I see it there. I was looking under the Design tab --> User Interface --> Dialog screen.
Thanks
Paul
