The last step is compressing all the files into an archive. You should compress your Theme into a .tar.gz (gzip) or .zip (zip) file, with the files and folders inside your Theme in the "root" of the zip file. This means that your archive might have contents similar to:

  • index.php
  • index.template.php
  • images/
  • languages/
  • style.css
  • theme_info.xml
