There is nothing wrong with mainly text themes. Its much harder to make a good text-based theme than an icon-based one.Zitat:

Unless you're innercy...:p
You talkin to me or him?
TEH SECKS. :D
Your best work yet, mate.
Looks exactly like an old WIP I had but ran into issues with. I hope for you the best of luck.Zitat:

what were these issues?
I learned the hard way that you need to hit 'save' a lot when working in Photoshop. Starting from scratch is not fun.
The theme is totally possible to do, though. How nice it looks depends on how you go about it. Do me a favor and make it scroll nicely and when in file browsers (ie. photos, music, video) don't have just one icon at a time. That is a major turn off for me with themes. Browsing one file at a time isn't fun.
Something I'm working on. :tup:

This one looks real nice:

and that font is dope. :)
Up another screenie, but not under settings. Just anywhere in the vsh, not under a menu.
Thanks, and I'm still improving it, we need to start a trend of "Full Screen Xmb's" :tup:

Thinking of adding icons maybe later on.
Try keeping the battery where it is, and keep it white, w/ the time/date still at the bottom, but moved over so it will be in line w/ the edge of the battery. Then you should make the time/date black so the entire top part of the theme is white and the entire bottom part is black. Then it would be SICK. Plus, it will have incredible colour balance then. ;)
EDIT: No need for icons...
EDIT2: OR you could move the time/date directly under all the rest of the lettering and keep the staggered alignment look. That would be cool, too.
Thanks, remember, I'm still testing it out, there will be alot of changes in the final version obviously.
Sure.
I would get rid of the shadows under the battery and date...
I think it would look better.
Yea, I always remove shadows when I convert fonts.
i have to use text for subicons...Zitat:
Zitat von Professor-Fate
Yesterday i redrew the icons again and FINALY got all 6 main icons to display but setting the main chanel to 34 colors and the alpha to 6 :X (the top glowy part is very transparent, the rest is much less, and the text is not at all so it pops.
Ive got an idea that will blow people away for the subicons....i just need to implement it successfully ;)
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/8291/snap082pu5.jpg it may look the same but its a bit different.
on and YES 2142 will install and run in vista even though it says it wont. once youare installed and havet he 1.50 patch you need to go get www.fsmod.com and install that for some super star wars action!!
Good idea taking my advice on the alpha channel on time/date. Less overpowering that way. ;)
If I were you I would change the submenu text....Zitat:
Zitat von SchmilK
Center it or something...
That's awesome! I love it. What would make it even better be if the icons slid from side to side.Zitat:

So some ppl are complaining that I'm making my themes w/o any nothing more than a minimalist look an no real icons. So I say I'm for the challenge. ;) How about a little trendy retro theme?

Made it LESS of a minimalist theme w/ icons. This should appeal to a wider audience. :)

I laughed when I realized this only took me three hours. It wasn't meant to be anything more than something to do tonight to pass the time/avoid boredom. But as it turns out, this is now my favourite theme that I've done.
Woo! I really like this one. I don't think the font goes with the "retro" look though, and the way the thin end of the battery points outside of the screen is a little visually unsound.Zitat:
Zitat von sn00chi3
I know I criticize alot, but I really hope I'm being constructive.
No you're right, the font needs a change, besides that it looks good.Zitat:
Zitat von ClearTranquil
If you made the battery the same style/color as the icons, it would also look better.
Yea, I think you guys are prolly right. But I like this font so much, I wanted to finally use it in a release.
Whatever makes you happy, you did make the theme after all. Good job at that.Zitat:

And i dont really want a rating for this, i just want to know if its possible, i want to make it for myself...
Or at least how much of it is possible.
All of it is possible. :)

sorry, but i really don't like that at all :(
@sn00chi3 yeah, i like that font too but have to agree about it not going with the rest of the theme.
@Scorned i would defo use that :)
Thanks! Now i can get to work on it...
Hopefully the new XMB thing will help me :/
haha you are reading my mind, they already slide side to side and are butted up against each other so its a continuous bar ;)Zitat:
Zitat von COLINx86
its getting closer...just cleaning up a totally unique opening_plugin.rco to go with it, then i think i am ready to share.
Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking. Cool can't wait.:)Zitat:
Zitat von SchmilK
I have to say that it looks pretty good, Schmilk. Looking forward.
oh hot damn...between the brand new opening and the never been done before subicon creation :P i think yous gonna go flipmode on this one!! :P
I just hope people don't rip your new subicon idea into every new theme they create...:pZitat:
Zitat von SchmilK
Good luck!
I actually had an idea very similar (use one long bar as only one icon and leave the rest blank with unfocused have a size/alpha of 1. That way the icon moves as one piece), but I'm not going to do it if Schmilk is doing something similar. I have my own revolutionary theme to get done.Zitat:

Your masterpiece! It's f*cking NICE, dude.

@Follower: I'll definitely be using that theme. :)
