Draco1962 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 Well, haven't made as much headway, in part due to work and home, but have started back at it. The theme is going through a bit of an evolution which requires a little more detail work as well as an overhaul of the logos to go with. I have ditched the formatted logos for naked ones (i.e., no frames or backgrounds, just the logos themselves).Here is an example of the latest. 2 Quote
nullPointer Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Seriously! This theme just gets better and better with each iteration. It's looking awesome Draco. Still loving those schematic backs, and the jelly/glass overlay on the various theme components is the icing on an already delicious cake. Keep up the great work! Quote
KRC Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Looking good my friend, loving the schematics and the scanlines If I could make 1 suggestion, keep up the good work Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 So ya caught the scan lines, eh? Damn, can't get anything by you! Thanks guys! Quote
KRC Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 The scanlines were the first thing I noticed, and they are a brilliant touch to the theme. Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Still working on details and more details.. here is an animated gif that runs when GameEx is performing a version update: 1 Quote
Adultery Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Wow! Cool! I didn't know that could be done! Does it work on the loading windows too? Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 It replaces the default Tapper gif is all. I haven't tried using gif animations on the loading windows. Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Here is a better example of the update... 7 Quote
nullPointer Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Everything is looking great Draco. I'm really excited for this theme. Your attention to detail is fantastic! Quote
ClassicGMR Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I am really liking this one and looking forward to seeing it live on my arcade! Quote
celly Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Simply amazing. You sure know how to do, what you do Draco. Keep up the good work! Quote
ehuonder Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 That is amazing!!! I love it. I already want to put it on my cabinet! Quote
DazzleHP Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Draco my man, seriously, i've been thinking about making that theme for the last few weeks then i come here and see that screenshot - honestly that is the exact image well near as dammit that i had in my head! Digital font and everything it's uncanny So erm opinion is yeh i frikkin love it! I'm a bit spooked out right now. I've scanned the rest of your bits and they look awesome too! Can't wait for this one I was also going to do 3 versions - a red and a green one each too, not that i'm hinting lol no, seriously i wasn't heheh Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks! I was considering versions befitting the old amber and green screen displays at one time. There is plenty of room for more theme! Even if yours looks similar to mine in some elements, I am sure you can make it yours with your own variations. Most of us use another theme as a source for inspiration or modification. So please have at it! Quote

So please have at it!I didn't even make a draft as i was going to start yesterday till i found this thread I am being sincere when i say that yours really does pretty much match exactly what i imagined, albeit a slighlty different layout - which is a trivial matter anyway as i like yours! Seems a bit of a waste to make a theme which will essentially be the same - with a slightly diff layout However i will offer my services in converting to green, amber, red, purple or whatever as i can probably run your theme through gimp using a script I'll be more than happy to give SOMETHING back to this community - specially after ditching 7 of my own themes half-way through Quote
Maximo Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Hello Draco1962, Do you have an ETA for this great theme? Quote
Draco1962 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 Hello Draco1962, Do you have an ETA for this great theme?Soon? That's about the best I can give at the moment. Quote
ClassicGMR Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Soon? That's about the best I can give at the moment.Just another curious user wondering if this is on hold or if you've made more progress on it. I do love what we've seen so far and still looking forward to it! Quote
Draco1962 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Posted November 14, 2012 Unfortunately Life makes demands that cannot be ignored. I have been working here and there on it and hope to have it available before Christmas. Mostly cleanup and minor details/corrections. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! 1 Quote
Tempest Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I haven't visited this in awhile. Looking AWESOME, and I love the countdown screen! Well, I really only 'liked' it because there is no 'love this' button. Quote
