theme editing question

[katuuuz]

just had a breakthrough idea for a new type of theme that i am really excited about. i was wondernig, is there any way to change the gameex text to black? if not i can work around it, but it would be nicer looking and i can make my background colors lighter.

Here is a program that will convert a color to the number needed in a Theme.ini file.

thanks a million kaze, i'll be posting a preview of my new-new theme tonight. the goal was to make my picture box as big as possible since i got all of the emumovies.

first off is there a way to hide the taskbar along the top of gameex?

second, here is a preview of my upcomming theme design... i tried to make it so it included pictures, and allowed maximum space for the snap screens/videos. let me know if you like it. also if you will tell me how to take a snapshot of my screen while in gameex you can have a better idea of how the layout is.

Looks really good!

one more teaser.. i ended up cutting the background of the nes (the black) out to have it match start page more... and added sega genesis. off to bed, finish up tomorrow.

Those look pretty cool. Where will the videos go?

that whole open area in the bottom left. big as i could.

[bkenobi]

WOW! Those will be big, won't they

[katuuuz]

the bigger the better... kenobi, how can i take a snapshot of my screen while in gameex so the games list and snapshots will show up so i can give you a better idea?

I think it's Shift-PrtScn to take a snapshot of the whole screen and Alt-PrtScn takes a snapshot of the active Window and puts it in the clipboard. Then alt-tab out of GameEx if your in fullscreen mode and open Paint, then paste the clipboard in there then save the picture. If you have trouble getting it to work, newer keyboards may have an "F Lock" button which is used to turn on the Function keys. Sometimes you have to toggle this so that PrtScn will work.

thank you very much kaze, it worked. attatched is a picture of the theme in action, and also a few more finished emus.. when i'm finished with the bundle, i'll post my theme and include a .psd file for the start menu so users can change the "MIKEADE" text to say what they would like.

ps. i hope tom doesn't mind my using his graphics for my start page.

This is looking really great...I wish I had photoshop skills.....

I cant wait for this release.

These look really interesting. I have photoshop and all the other programs (since my wife works in advertising), but I have very limited skills with them. I should hire her to make me a theme

Actually, I'm better with some of this stuff than she is, so that wouldn't help much
