Few steps:
1. in 'Information tab', just fill some text data as you want. It really doesn't matter



2. in Wallpaper tab, fill in your preprared wallpaper bmp



3. in last tab, 'others", fill in your preprared png icon and bmp preview



4. in File menu, select "Export", give it a name as you want. remember this name. (eg. 390Applecor.ptf)



5. After exporting, copy the new ptf into MS0:/cxmb folder

6. Edit file in MS0:/cxmb/conf.txt, change the ctf filename as your new theme then save, in this case, it will look like:

Code:
/PSP/THEME/390AppleCor.CTF

** preview ptf filename must be same ctf one **

7. Put your theme files under MS0:/cxmb, like

Code:
/cxmb/fonts
/cxmb/vsh/


8. Reboot your PSP, you can see your MS LED flashing. After done, you will see PSP is booting with your theme.

here is the result:


note:
1. if there is no corresponding ptf under /cxmb, ctf cannot be built.
2. if system shutdown itself during building ctf, check your prx/rco version. incompatible version files results ctf building failure.
