There are some preconfigures themes in moderncv: moderncv themes

But, I want to create a own theme for moderncv, so that it's unique and maybe a bit nicer and more beautiful to read.

Does somebody know how to write the new theme files and how to put them into my .tex file?

Not sure it's the best way to do it but here's how I did it:

I added these lines at the top of my main document:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncvMyTheme}

\moderncvstyle{classicMyTheme}
\moderncvcolor{blueMyTheme}

I copied and customized the moderncv.cls class, renamed it to moderncvMyTheme.cls, saved it inside my project, and replaced the following line:

\ProvidesClass{moderncvMyTheme}

I copied and customized one of the styles, here the moderncvstyleclassic.sty style file, renamed it to moderncvstyleclassicMyTheme.sty, saved it inside my project, and replaced the following lines:

\ProvidesPackage{moderncvstyleclassicMyTheme}

Finally I copied and customized one of the color style files, here the moderncvcolorblue.sty style file, renamed it to moderncvcolorblueMyTheme.sty, saved it inside my project, and replaced the following lines:

\ProvidesPackage{moderncvcolorblueMyTheme}

Hope that helps!
