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.

Is there a limit or requirement as far as content? Can these themes incorporate anything or does it have to be bungie related?

I'm 'editing' mine at the moment. Mine will be sent once I get to be able to work on it, to tweak it some here and there.

stosh:

I'm interested in contributing to the Bungie community by creating a theme, but I'm wondering a little bit what sort of information you need? Besides the 3 main images, you also say that we can "customize font colors/size, backgrounds, headers" - but how do we go about doing this? Should I just include information within my e-mail?

Thanks,
Dan

How do you actually use the ones you submit? Or do we just submit them hoping they pick ours?

Hello everyone. Thought I would go ahead and post a picture of my updated version. The only thing I have left to do is fix a little bit of the pixelation that is occurring in the Marathon symbol. Other than that, I think it is a huge improvement over the previous ones. Feedback would be greatly appreciate. Oh, and I should be sending mine in sometime tomorrow.

F34R: I like the Spartan in Space, but I'm not too sure about the colors used and how drastically it changes; from Bungie.Net to those colors. As for Techwave, I love it.
Strike: I like.

Also, I'm not skilled in the ways of Photoshop (much.) I don't know how to consolidate the files.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Okay, I've ran into a big dilemma. Which one looks better? I only say this because one of them, I can only use if I keep the background color in; while the other one can be changed. I've been going back and forth for the past hour debating which one to use. So, I'm going to ask you guys which one you think looks best. Oh, also here is a look at the one on the right hand side. Any feedback and help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Here is a look at the one on the left. Mind you, the changes are extremely subtle when compared like this. So don't worry if your wondering 'WTF?', I understand; it's my OCD kicking in.

AH! I love your theme, except for the Marathon logo!! You stated that it's pixelated, but I think it's also a little blurry. Perhaps making it pink like the background might help...right now it still feels out of place. Try using this instead. Just take out the stuffs around it and do whatever you want with the rest.

It's really cool, but I can tell he's stretched. Perhaps making him proportional and just adding in stuffs on the side might help? Also, maybe a different picture for the right...dunno what though.

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

That is so much better! I've been looking for a big Marathon symbol, but I have only been able to find that small one; which is what caused the stretching effect and the blurryness and everything else in between. Duardo, thank you for this, and also thanks to SniperStealth for telling me that there was a better one. I should have this put in in no time. Thanks again Duardo, greatly appreciate it.
Edit: There we go. I extended the news and announcement bars so you guys could see what it would be like with a lot of news. As well, I added the new Marathon symbol and outlined it with a color that closely matches the background; then I faded it some so it doesn't stand out so much. Take a look.

I saw an absolutely awesome Halo Wars one completed but I heard it won't be used. Is there any chance that a Halo Wars theme will ever find its way into the hall of themes? Hopefully you can answer this one Stosh.

This is when I go "HELL YEAH!"
Awesome job Rokit! Awesome job.

I hate myself now, cause I just noticed something. *stabs self*

At the very bottom, where the feet are, perhaps you should make it a gradient that goes into the gray...just an idea.

Haha, yea; that's the main reason why I wanted to show the rest of it. I wasn't too sure about the white being at the bottom because I knew it would look weird when viewed fully. Anyway, here is the one I've been playing with. I kept a very, nearly unnoticeable white area by the feet to keep the idea that the picture is fading way without actually doing so. It's drastically less than the last image.

Also, thanks for the help Duardo, I greatly appreciate it.

You are entirely welcome.

Here's what I had in mind. Dunno if you want to do that. It is your theme.
