On how to select the right tool for a given task
edit by bakunin: I have split the thread to reflect the two different themes it had. Read the original thread here. All the other posts there dealing with the new theme have been moved here, the ones which addressed both i have copied and edited. Enjoy the discussion.
BTW, you don't want to use sed to work on a string.
Use sed for working on files and shell parameter expansion for manipulating strings.

eboard-addtheme
EBOARD-ADDTHEME(1) General Commands Manual EBOARD-ADDTHEME(1)
NAME
eboard-addtheme - a program to easily install new eboard board and sound themes.
SYNOPSIS
eboard-addtheme P graphics-file description
eboard-addtheme S sound-file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the eboard-addtheme command. This manual page was contributed by the developers of the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution.
eboard-addtheme installs the given theme for eboard. If it has sufficient permissions, it will install the theme in the system themes
directory; otherwise, it will install it in ~/.eboard.
eboard-addtheme's behavior depends on its first argument. If this argument is P, a graphics file in the proper format should be provided
as the second argument, and the third argument should be a description of the theme. The graphics file will be installed as a new
piece/board set. If, on the other hand, this argument is S, a sound file should be provided as the second argument; it will be installed
as a new sound theme.
eboard must be restarted after a new theme has been added to notice the addition. Graphics become available in the Settings | Bitmapped
Piece Sets submenus, sound files become available in the Sound Event configuration dialog boxes.
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Daniel Burrows <dburrows@debian.org> (for the Debian GNU/Linux system) and by Felipe Bergo
