Draco1962 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 As far as logos go, I am with ya. I recently released some new logo packs and am finding where there are a few that I missed or need to correct, etc.. on and on. I guess determining when to share is a matter of deciding a cutoff point, zipping it up, and uploading to the site. For me that is usually when I get bored with a theme or have a new idea put a bug up my butt to create something. No theme is going to be 100% complete I guess. I have started working with .xcf files (GIMPs version of the .psd) when I finalize a change graphic to place within a foreground or background image. Other than the basic screens that are needed by GameEx "right out of the box" for a first time install, that is about where I would say it is finished for sharing.

Draco1962 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Some more suggestions for themes (most based on video games, movies or TV - where I spent most of my youth and a great part of my adulthood or second childhood according to my wife). The list is mainly those that included some sort of computer interfaces/displays that could be creatively adapted for theme use.A short list: Space 1999, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Last Starfighter, Dune, Tron (Original and Legacy), Wing Commander, Enemy Mine, War Games, Close Encounters, Iron Man, Transformers, Batman, Apollo 13.

Adultery Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Well then, Drac... What do you say we get together and host a competition? I'll see if I can get some of the other staffers on board too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 About 2/3 complete, here is a snap from my latest theme. Let me know what ya think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I like it Drac! Looks awesome (as all your work does)! May be just my phone rendering the image funny, but it's kinda hard to read the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunk_4TH Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Looks great Draco! Especially love the Neo-Geo logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks! Will be a few surprises with this theme - a bit of a departure from the previous to leverage against the recent v4 changes a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I made some images to display on my 2nd monitor when a game is launched using Marquee Magician. I thought I'd share them in case anyone wanted them. Here's some examples:There's 25 images in the pack so far, and they're at 1366x768. You can download the rar here.

Adultery Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As if your themes aren't the cream of the crop? I'd be interested in seeing what themes people use, and I'm sure yours are (rightfully so) right at the top of that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Always good to see one's work in action and appreciated! I have a few more theme ideas that I have been tossing about but will back burner them for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver X Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Giga Drive v1.2Theme Version: 4Resolution: Giga_Drive_HD looks good at any 16:9 resolution (16:10 also looks ok). Giga_Drive_SD is for 4:3 displays.This is the custom theme I made for my HTPC, "Giga Drive". It's probably slightly rough under some people's configs as I don't use a few of GameEx's features. The TrueType fonts under the "Fonts" folders also need to be installed for things to look as intended...Download Theme (13MB 7zip Archive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Silver X - Thanks first for sharing! Great theme - a simple, list-oriented design that pulls in the desired functions without overloading the display elements. My son loves anything bio-hazard - Resident Evil - zombie oriented and your background nails that for him for certain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
