@Rebellion- great theme, fits well with the style of game. My favourite part is the cheat icons. The complement your theme so well.

My two favs are Killermech's 'Pipboy' and Tweeder's 'doodles'. great work all

@rebellion: i think you should change the blue button color to a green one, to be consistent

I dunno how to fix the gradation thing with the left dark sphere

although I was able to work on some new icons for the main menu:

Great theme, the icons are very good, but you should make a better scrollbar, this one just doesn't fit in the theme.


Any comments on mine?

Download it!

And what is it with that 16 bit bmp?
Is it needed that your pictures are 16 bit bmp?

@TheStump - Thanks! Your theme is pretty good too, but I think you should try to make the text on the top more visible. I have no ideas, though, unfortunately...

@Issac - I'll keep that in mind! (I just need the time to do it.

)

@Egonny

I'll fix that now, lol. I'm not very good at color/palette choice. I like the blue in your theme, kinda have a bias towards blue themes

My only kinda gripe is the first menu icon for the Games, the color of the Folder icon is kinda off, but otherwise it's great

 

[TheStump]

@rebellion. cheers for the comment. I wasn't sure how noticeable it would be. So i've fixed it, better visibility and while i was at it, i added some circuit board effects through the menu.
Feels alot like metriod 3 now.

Version 1.3 is up

I fixed the colors of the text, windows and scrollbar. Hopefully it looks better now

DOWNLOAD

EDIT: Fixed scrollbar

 

[Zamo]

@DocL16 excellent work, the colours are well matched, but you should do something about the transparency of your scrollbar. The edges are not transparent. Good luck!!

Anyway, here's my entry.

Don't have a DL link yet. Any comments and advice would be much appreciated.

The time needed for that is five seconds

I mean, it's just to say so in the skin editor, on the colors tab

it states some color there for the buttons

Changed the scrollbar to a gradient rather than a mix of b/w pixels.

 

[Rebellion]

Anyways, updated my theme a little.

Spoiler

CHANGELOG:
- changed "SELECT YOUR OPTION" into "SELECT YOUR CHOICE" to avoid confusion with the options icon.
- added green bars to make text clearer (really difficult decision for me. please comment on this decision! i'd really like to hear something about this.
- recoloured blue cheat icons into green cheat icons.
- changed scroll bar into green and purple moldorms.

Download!

@TheStump: Your grey text is a little difficult to see.. Try white! o_o

 

[Amici]

@Zamo

Yeah I noticed it too, fixed it already

I like your theme, but I think the all-black background needs more flair. It looks a bit empty.. But your icons are already very good

 

[OneOfTheSame]

Tell me what you guys think about it, took me a while to make.

Edit: v1.1 Fixed colors

 

[Raestloz]

@Oneofthesame: The first thing I noticed is you forgot this is EDGE, not R4.

1st icon is Games, okay I think we can get away with that
2nd icon: MCTR? It's Multimedia/Media/Moonshell, unless MCTR is Multimedia/Media/Moonshell in other languange, I advise you to change it
3rd: A fatal failure, since it's Settings, not BOOT slot-2 like R4

Other comments? No, nothing for now, I can see that it's finished, the text seems visible enough for me and the color choice are all in harmony

EDIT: @Egonny
Sorry for not replying a.s.a.p.

This is what I'm talkin about

the top image is in PNG format, while the bottom is in 16 bit bmp format (well, .jpg, since photobucket converted it, but the color is still 16 bit)

as you can see, 16 bit color is not as rich as 24 bit or worse, 32 bit color, as the result, gradations won't be displayed correctly, as it lacks the appropriate color for it, what happens is instead of smooth gradation, you'll see blatant color change in wave like shape

what matters is it happens with your bottom image, which is not good, although the text might distract us from it

if you have an EDGE, try it there, whether is actually looks good or not IDK, since I never actually test it, but from my own experience (I have encountered the same problem too with my skin, as the result, I removed the glow from the wavy lines) that is waht your pic will look like on an EDGE

 

[Zamo]

@OneofTheSame I dont' know if it's just the picture, but I noticed some white dots on the selected text, maybe you could get that fixed. Otherwise I like the simplicity.

Here's my updated Neon:

Again, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

@Zamo
I think that's much better now

The background looks much less empty

 

[rose3694]

@Zamo - I like it alot very nice looking. (Sorry about not doing this before I am new to forums and I guess a bonehead sigh)

Here is what I submitted. What do you think its the first skin I've ever made. The girl I made her myself, she is designed after this little toy I have sitting on my desk that rocks her head back and forth LOL. Let me know what you think.

Ok so I am very new to this but I know what I like on my DS so maybe other girls do too

@Rose3694 Hmm, I like the fact that you tryed to make somthing original, the first icon is very nice. All other icons kinda are very amaturistic in my opinion.
The background is clean and nice, but I think the scrollbar is ugly...
