Got Themes

Post by **subsonic** » Mar Mon 28, 2005 1:54 pm

It's nice to see someone working on a new theme.

I agree with rct247. It looks like brushed copper to me. Pick one or the other: AK or Frontierland. Once you do, go with a font in the titles from that area. The "Waltograph" doesn't fit that theme. With either one, a wood pattern would be more suitable.

Just be forewarned, a texture needs to be repeatable and mesh with end caps. If I were to do a textured background I'd make the ends look like they are above the background. Like this

To make the background a tilable texture use the Filters > Other > Offset feature. You can wrap it around

I might just use that for a theme. Though I trashed it and will have to start over. I just looked for tutorials on how to make wood.

I have used Eyecandy but I didn't for this. That's right, it has a wood maker huh?

Eagle, any more progress on your theme?

No not yet been playing with the colors haven't gotten them just right. It takes time I know you worked on the Tomorrowland theme for months before you got it just right.

yeah, the layout took about 2 weeks and all the elemnts for the flash took about 3

Down fall I can't figure out how to do the flash. That’s the hardest program I have tried to learn yet. Heck Unix commands aren't as hard to learn

That's years of playing with Flash that's shown there.

Again, you don't have to know flash to do the flash part. If you design the menu, I'll add some simple effects to it.
