  If you are familiar with AutoTheme the best way to do it is.
  1) Load up the site with the original theme in your browser.
  2) Do a File-Save-As and save the homepage to an HTML template.
  3) Open it in your favorite editor and start creating the HTML templates using the areas of the one you saved.
  4) Test
  5) Test some more.

  Or download the autoconvert module from the autothemes website and use it to convert the theme to autothemes format.

  Thanks MMaynard & warrick!
  
  I was in a hurry to make a new theme, so.. I just did it from scratch to build (convert actually) the theme.
  
  As I didnt know how to automatically convert. I actually did as MMaynard suggested! Viola, after 2 days - I modified the theme to almost my taste, which still need some more fixes.. for different (2) screen resolutions.
  
  For the other themes, I would try out what warrick suggested!
  
  Thanks guys~

  Good work! I keep telling people that creating autothemes isn't as hard as they think, but most people don't listen. I'm glad you've been successful.
