Creating a new Theme

To create a new theme for UDD, create a directory with the following structure:

Theme.udd/
├─ images/
  │  ├─ 1.jpg
  │  ├─ 2.jpg
  │  ├─ 3.jpg
  │  ├─ 4.jpg 
├─ Wallpaper.json

the Wallpaper.json should look something like this:

{
   "name":"Title",
    "desc":"Description",
    "Day":[
       {
          "id":1,
          "file":"Image name",
          "tag":"tag",
          "title":"Image title, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true",
          "desc":"Image description, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true"
       },
       {
          "id":2,
          "file":"Image name",
          "tag":"tag",
          "title":"Image title, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true",
          "desc":"Image description, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true"
       },
    ],
    "Night":[
       {
          "id":3,
          "file":"Image name",
          "tag":"tag",
          "title":"Image title, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true",
          "desc":"Image description, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true"
       },
       {
          "id":4,
          "file":"Image name",
          "tag":"tag",
          "title":"Image title, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true",
          "desc":"Image description, shown when showWallpaperInfo is true"
       },
    ]
 }

UDD automatically detects new themes in the .udd/Themes directory and allows for easy management of themes, including adding, deleting, and changing them.
