skins for new r4

i have an 8gb r4 upgrade card, and obviously the old themes i have will not work on the new 8gb card. does anyone know where to get a theme creator for this version? the system files are r4i version, but it works on a ds

Why wouldn't they work? They're just native images. They can be worked into the firmware easily.

I am also having difficulty understanding why the skins wouldn't work. It's just a matter of dragging the img file into the correct folder.

i got them working, but the format and layout is different compared to the old version, is there any skin creators like Alice for the r4i?

The .ini (configuration) file should work being the same; even if there's a different layout of installing themes involved, just have your images adapted to it. So you should be able to just use Alice and use the .ini and images.
