[THEME] ExNano (Release)

[celly]

I'm extremely terrible at this sort of thing. After my first attempt at a theme (may it rest in pieces) I decided to recreate a theme that was based off a MALA theme for the Nanocade. I call it ExNano. Basic appearance of the Nanocade theme but, with the GameEx appeal. 1920x1080 resolution. Feedback welcome but please, go easy on me.

You can download it from here.

Looks good celly,

No need to go easy as there's not a bad thing to say about it, looks clean,crisp and cool.

My only problem is you don't do enough theming.

Why have you been holding out, friend? I like this a lot! Looking forward to more expressions of your pent-up creativity!

Looks to be a great theme

[Krakerman]

Looks really good! Should enter this one in the competetion Celly.

Thanks for the kind word evabody! I'm stuck with the media bar right now, nothing looks right or fitting to the theme itself. I was hoping to have this finished today but, i believe work will get in the way yet again.

[Draco1962]

What are you trying to accomplish with the media bar?

[celly]

Trying to make it match somewhat to the theme. TBH i never use. My cp has shift function already and i can adjust sound, song and all that from there, no mouse usage. Only use the minimize button so i can get to windows sometimes.

[Draco1962]

Let me know if these will work for you.

Schweet! Thanks Mike! I'll give these a whirl and letcha know.

[Draco1962]

Anytime! They are just basic. You may have to replace the menu bar sections with transparent .png files if you do not intend to use it and only the media controls and window max/min files.

[celly]

The controls look and work just fine. Just the bar I'm having trouble with. Nothing looks right at this resolution. It's HUGE and the colors look, circus like. Idk.

[Draco1962]

Are you talking about the menu bar that descends from the top down? Have you considered not using it? You can create images the same size but all transparent.

[celly]

Doh! Can't believe i didn't think of that. Thanks.

[Draco1962]

Anytime!

[celly]

Ok, so far so good. Using the supplied media icons (thank you Draco) and making the rest of the media bar transparent (thank you again, Draco) I am about 97% done.

Poking around through the theme, I did notice that within the menu, the font is fine and fits perfect. Once I select an emulated system, a long named one, the font goes off the screen and produces half the words.

I've adjusted the font size, adjusted it's positions and still get the same result. This is the only thing holding me back right now from releasing.

[Draco1962]

Celly - please zip your theme up and send me a link via PM and I will be glad to take a look at it.

[Tempest]

I love the colors, and I think you did a great job. Definitely worth adding to the competition!

[celly]

Thank you Tempest and Draco. I really like the colors myself although my cab is all black and blue. T-molding is cheap though

With the help from Master Yod... I mean Draco, I have decided to change the resolution up to 1920x1080. Check out the screen from the first post and let me know what you guys thing.

[KRC]

Looks good celly,

Still looks as clean as ever

[celly]

Thanks KRC. It is now completed. Link for download is on first post and also at the GameEx.com themes page. Yay for me!

[KRC]

When's the next theme coming along then

Master Draco is perfectly acceptable as well.
