celly Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Although I'm not as gifted in the photoshop ways as some of our memebers are, I did try my hand at a theme but after seeing some of the entries into the competition I decided to scrap the idea totally. I've resurrected the idea again. This time with a Star Trek feel. LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) is the computer that is used in Star Trek TNG and others. Yes, I'm a total Star Wars nerd but the computer in STTNG has always been rad to me.Here is the general idea behind the LCARS-GE (the GE obviously for GameEx).Like I said, this is just the basic idea. My knowledge and experience behind Theme Editor isn't very good so it might take me some time. Hopefully have an entry before the competition ends. Thoughts and feedback please.

Draco1962 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I may just have to dust off the ol' WIP just for the heck of it. I had started collecitng various LCARS images for a 1920 x 1080 theme along with some .wav files for some of the effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celly Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mike, want to work together on this? With our combined forces, we could take over the world.... Or just make a kick ass theme. Depends on you. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Would be glad to. Will do what I can. Still have a few irons on the fire atm but will be glad to assist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trnk31 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 One of my finalist for my control panel was modeled on the LCARS!Are you planning on publicly releasing the theme?I dont know if you want any ideas but it would be cool if you could match the text in the background and format the game list font/color to match. Then put it in the middle and work the blocks around the text and icons so it looks like an independant section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celly Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Yes this will be a public release once it's completed. I'm not quite there yet though.[EDIT] SCRAPPED. This will not be released or finished. Sorry. Edited March 20, 2012 by celly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
