Well, because I have no photo editing software, let alone the mad skillz required to make one, I'll make a suggestion for someone looking for inspiration. Maybe using this for the bottom sidebar, and then this as background.

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Alright, I finally got around to doing another one. I have only completed the group home, however. I'll do the forum header when I come back from the shower XD.

With this one, the text is optional. I think it's a nice touch and I love the whole sound of it, but it could also be an opinion based thing where people might not like that particular phrase, etc. So I will make one without the text, I just wanted to see what people thought.

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.

Could anyone give me some starting tips. I have some ideas, but don't know how to start. Do you guys just copy the picture on another's theme and replace theri stuff with yours?

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

It is a bit more complex than that but if someone would make a theme builder *cough* stosh *cough* then it would be simply self-explanatory. I'm not going to attempt a theme until then. Me has no artistic abilities...

Durn, why must everything be more complicated than it needs to be?

If you understand how to use Photoshop, you should have no problem with it.

Yes, it is. Probably my favorite song from Breaking Benjamin. However, I can understand it being an issue with genre taste and whatnot, so I'll wait for some more feedback before I send it in.

EDIT: I actually wanted that to say "behind" *goes to change*

Photoshop isn't something you get used to overnight. I suggest looking up tutorials online, or exploring every tool with a blank sheet of "paper."

I taught myself how to use Photoshop CS, and let me tell you, I don't know most of it's capabilities. I've been using it for a year too.

That look really good Halo2Girl. My only complaint, and once again I am being a bit picky; is that on the Group Home page, I don't really care for the text being so separated. It looks good, don't get me wrong, it just seems kind of 'bleh' with the text being split up like that. But I can understand that, since the quote is fairly long. It looks really good though. I wish I could do that =\. Keep it up.

Yeah, I didn't want to crunch it all up at the top seeing the group's name needs to go there. Like I said, I'll probably end up submitting it without the text.

Thanks for the feedback :D

EDIT: Oh, and you guys can call me Wolfie :)

Hey so I'm building a theme and I'm wondering...

How do you get the transparent filter in photoshop, so that the image in the announcements subsection and those places seems to be under the posts?

  • 02.05.2008 7:26 PM PDT

What I usually do is this. Select the layer, then go to 'Select' then 'Color Range'. Select the part you want to make transparent on that layer, in this case the backround of the announcements. Select the backround, then move 'Fuzziness' bar to about 192. Then, select the 'Rectangle Marquee Tool' and right click on the blackish gray area. Then select 'Fill...'. Then, on the 'Mode' set it to 'Clear' and for the opacity, set it to about ten or so.

Mind you, this is a walkthough for CS3.
