For color themes, I think the Quick and Dirty Guide to Creating a Color Theme can help you.

For styles it's a bit more complicated. Your style will be easier to patch if:
-- you made it from Tabula Rasa without disabling the original stylesheet then added your own CSS. CSS conversions like these can take time but are generally easy. Modifying another style is pretty easy to patch in general as well. If that doesn't work for you, it's fine to do it differently of course.
-- same thing but you set properties and used them in your CSS instead of hardcoding colors, fonts, etc. Here's a guide which might help you with that. It also helps to look at other styles' code to get a sense on how it's done. source codes can be found here.


For previews, you need to add these two lines to your layer(s):

layerinfo "source_viewable" = 1;
layerinfo "is_public" = 1;

Then link to the theme layer ID with this URL:

http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/preview_redirect?themeid=#123456

The theme layer ID is the number listed next to your layer or at the top of the layer editor (12456 in my example).

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them! Here or via PM or even at [community profile] stylemakers.
