While I was working on the alternate BG's I did for this, I was toying around with black and it looked really nice! Just throwing that out there to ya!

There we go, tried messing around with a dark color scheme.. I think I like it. I'll try to release it over the next week, it's just a matter of sitting down and resaving every background. The images look a little plain since they're missing content (game name, videos, etc) but it gives you guys an idea how it'd look

By the way, does anyone have a decent version of the Mega Drive 32X logo out there? Seems to be tough to find one that isn't just a scan of a box

Sorry for the double post. Changing every foreground was really easy so I figured I'd post a couple screens of it in GameEx. I haven't changed the selector or the top bar yet, those are separate files that require alotta 'save as for web' in photoshop.

Well....

As tends to be the case with me, I started doing some 'touch up' work on the grey theme and a few hours later I came up with something completely different.

Looks like I'll probably release this... I know I have a bad habit of showing off WIPs and never releasing them, haha. However, this one is actually implemented in GameEx. I still have to go back and realign most of the logos to fit the new layout and redo a few of the UI elements. The current limitations of the skinning engine means the dock has to remain since its used to hide a few UI elements I don't use (game title, game count, etc). The video window is a bit bigger now too. The border looks a little choppy - perhaps one of these days I'll figure out how to properly round out edges in photoshop...

Any thoughts/opinions? I'm open to suggestions.. Also if anyone wants me to release the old theme with the grey look let me know and I'll whip it together. Like i said, it's just a matter of saving about 100 files from a PSD.

*EDIT* Oh, I also implemented a new background for the MegaDrive 32x that'll be included with this release. Thanks again for the awesome logo KRC!

I might be the minority here, but I'd like a version of the original with the grey look so I can use it with the custom BG's I did. Or, if you could just post the new PSD file, I can add them in myself.:) As for the changes you did in the post above, me likey!

Sure, I'll release the grey version as well. Like I said, it's not a ton of work to do. I think what I'll end up doing is finalizing the other UI elements on both, since they're shared. I'm probably looking at a week or two before releasing either of them.

If you'd (or anyone else) wants the PSD send me a PM. It's ~250mb so I'd rather not publicly post it. However, if anyone wants to make their own variations or use elements from the PSD for their theme, feel free =)

While in GameEx, you may need to click Change View quite a few times to get the desired results.
