Ajay: Hi - the odds of anyone answering these questions are slim. Most of the questions can be answered by reading the Documentation on creating a theme. Go to Documentation and look at the table of contents. There you can find you answers.

best of luck

Ajay Bansal:

Q1. Can we use jsp file in custom theme instead of VM file?

No

Q2. Can we write AUI taglib code in VM file?

No

Q3. When we create theme project . then the names of VM file (portal_normal.vm) is fixed or can be changed?

I don't think so. If the standard is to use portal_normal.vm, just use it.

Q4. How to add version & author to the custom theme?

In liferay-plugin-package.properties file.

Q5. whe we select a theme in web portal there additional option to "insert custom css" & "java script" . what is to be written there & how it would work?

These are page level overrides to the theme.

Q6. If i write a form building code in main.js file in AUI then how would i add that form in my VM file in particular location?

You don't. Velocity templates contain HTML so the form goes in there and invokes the js.

Basically I think you're using the theme incorrectly. A form sounds like a separate portlet (perhaps embedded in the theme).
