I am finally down the home stretch of a revamp of my original Space Invaders theme., It will be a full 1920x1080p theme, with some noticeable differences, yet the feel is pretty much the same, but better IMO. Changes/enhancements include:

- Cleaner, nicer looking selector bars.

- Enhanced graphics on display areas of theme to have that familiar CRT somewhat smokey green glare.

- Added "moon" behind the foreground layer to give a little more dimension and depth and familiar with most Space Invaders cabinets.

- Removal of the drop-down tool bar.

- Change to white Atari Raster font.

- Changed Statistics and Updating pages from stock to theme-based images.

- Revised Error Dialog and Dialog boxes to be more theme-centric

- Removed Image2 display on bottom right and converted it to RSS scroll, Date, Time, and Weather notification area

- More changes to come...

Here is a sneak peek:

Loving the changes Draco! I'm looking forward to seeing this fantastic theme in glorious 1080p. Can't wait! The image you're using for consoles looks badass! The controller looks like a spaceship in orbit! Genius.

Looking forward to this as the original was a personal favorite of mine. :)

Mine as well. It's been on my arcade unit since I found it. Can't wait to see the updated version.:)

looks good and better as the old one. i recommend some scanlines on the screens for the perfect CRT retro look ;).

nice job.

PS: i attached a scanline-texture for usage-fun

Actually had planned to add the scan lines (one of my "trademarks as I was the first to add them in the layers to my themes B) ). Another addition is updated weather icons (with a bit of an 8-bit pixel feel) to work visually better with the theme & fonts over all.

All I'm saying is that you're the undisputed master of 'tying it all together' so to speak. It certainly wouldn't have occurred to me to replace the weather icons in keeping with the concept of the theme.

Just a little more cleanup of some images and the theme will be ready for release into the wild. A little tease, however, to keep fans of the original theme's appetite's whetted until then...post-5872-0-88925500-1360705581_thumb.pn

I am happy to see this is coming to fruition! Was afraid it got lost in the shuffle.

Thank you for your great themes Draco. I definitely appreciate them. :)
