KRC Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 In terms of a selector bar, what kind are you looking for?I could whip one up fairly quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hmmm not quite sure yet, but maybe one that highlights the text mainly since the backgrounds on various games will be different colors as you can see for the different game themes I'm making.

KRC Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Here's an example for Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES.Doing this sort of stuff is really addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I like that one alot. Very nice! I know that's why I just been doing one MAME theme after another. After finishing the theme and watching it run it's like I just added another cabinet to my gameroom. It is addicting. Keep up the good work. Are you starting to use PaintDot.net now? There are a ton of free plugins for it as well. Just search on Google and you'll find them. I find that paint program just way easier to use. I also have Paintshop Pro but don't use it that much. That one has some tools for cutting out images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ive been experimenting with Paint.NET, ive mainly been using it for cutting out images, even difficult images with ease. Then transferring the results to GIMP.I will take a while to get accustomed to it but I dont think it will be too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbuck Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Have made a few myself before Krackerman made the last changes. So I don't know if they will work or not. If alot of us could be working on these, we could create one hell of a theme in a short time. Based on KRC's thumb (Looks great by the way), can we just create a jpg or png( with a certain resaolution or size) with a background and a spot for the video in the middle and they will work in the theme. Would be great if we could create a topic where we store the page in paks by system. Krackerman could release the basic theme and users could download paks or indivual thumbs to add to their theme.

Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 @starbuck I've posteed the new framework file that is the final version so use that to create your themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 OK Guys as promised I've uploaded the theme to the GameEx main site so look for it soon. The only themes I've included with the theme were the MAME themes that I've done so far. All the other systems aren't ready yet. I should have Daphne[Complete Set] done in a few days.The framework file has been posted to the forums so use that to create your themes. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!! Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. This theme will take a bit setting up as you will need to disable a few things for the menu to be displayed correctly. Any ?'s feel free to ask.

Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 [uPDATE] I re-uploaded the theme with the framework file included in the zip/rar file as well as the font that the theme requires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbuck Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'll watch for it and when I can down load it I'll see what I can do with it over the Holidays Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not sure how long it will take for it to be available so keep an eye out for it. Everything on my end appears like the upload went ok. Enjoy and looking forward to what you come up with. This theme still needs a good selection bar so if anyone has a good one for it please post it. We might need to create a new forum for theme releases for this theme as I'm sure everyone will want to start creating and sharing them. Would be much easier for everyone to post about there releases in a central place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 See above for more pics of themes that I did today. These include Robotron, Galaga, Frogger and Zoo Keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Krak, where's the theme located, cant see it in the downloads section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Not sure! I've had the same issue in the past I uploaded it to the main site where you upload themes and it never shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 To be honest though, I had a similar problem when uploading my first theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 It looks like it uploads then the message goes away that says please wait uploading so you never know if it worked or not. Tom might need to look at that as I think it's broke. Last time Adultery was online and helped me upload my last theme so that is why that one went up fast. He had me FTP to the site.I updated the zip file to include everything in the zip as well as the missing backgrounds. All you have to do is install the font then unrar/zip the file to where you have the GameEx folder at. Just need help getting this uploaded as the main site is not working unless we need Tom to make it available as I am not sure if it went htru.
