Additional Notes: Give it a try, let me know what ya think. Simplicity of display was the goal without appearing too busy with too many visual elements in the design itself, while keeping with most GameEx features enabled.

Thanks. ;)

But mostly, thanks to the sponsors! :D

Yes, thanks to the sponsors of course. I just wanted to make sure you got recognition for doing the leg work of contacting them and getting things organized for the contest.

I tried to make a theme once. It was a freaking disaster. So, now I rely on other's creativity. Maybe I should have let my wife design it an I implement it (she's in advertising and comes up with the advertising concepts that the creatives implement). :P

::UPDATE::

  • Added a full license of Xpadder and lifetime software updates

@Adultery - You just continue to fascinate! Good work!

@bkenobi - If I can visualize and toss together a theme, then it is within your reach! I learned GIMP as I went along. Of course, I tend to be OCD about things I love to do and grab hold with bulldog tenacity.

Thanks Drac & Circo! :)

It's easy to do something well when you're passionate about it!

Man, I'd love to get my hands on all those prizes. Too bad I just don't have the skill. I tried my hand at making a Theme way back before V2 themes. It sucked so bad by the time I was done, I just broke down and used somebody elses. Good job ahead of time to whoever wins!

UPDATE:

  • Added 2 UltraStik 360s with restrictor kits and an iPac2 courtesy of Ultimarc!
  • Added 1 wired XBOX 360 controller courtesy of the GameEx Staff!
  • Re-balanced the prize levels and added a 4th place tier!

I'll leave it to the pro's!

As if you're not a pro? LOL

Some pretty bad ass stuff to be had here!!

Draco: I cut out a nicer Model2 logo you can use for theme if you want.

That is a good one, Ben! Thanks! Do you have one without the drop shadow?

Unfortunately no, sorry. The one I grabbed was extracted from the exe and it already had the shadow.
