Here's the group home to a Cold Storage theme I've started. The header still needs a bit of work.

Brilliant idea, Damn you. :-)

Right now I am editing a few of my older themes to the preferences of stosh, but here is a fresh one for you all:

Ahem?!?

I figured everyone knew already... but yes, this is another collaboration w/ Hal. XD

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that unless specified, all themes I post from here on out are collaborations w/ Halcylon.

And thank you Rob and John, :-P.

I put together a mini visual themeBuilding guide that covers simple themeBuilding on Vista using Paint.Net and Firefox. You can find it here. It overviews themeBuilding with Windows Vista + Paint.net+Firefox 3

Hope some people find it useful. If you have comments/suggestions PM me and let me know.

Note: added to main themeBuilder post.

You might consider using this for the sidebar.

Really you are supposed to do it like that? I did it alot faster and less than 20 steps.

  • 07.22.2008 11:39 AM PDT

It is very much possible to do it faster, this is just a simple method that should work for anyone on Vista + FF + Paint.net. Heck, I never have to unzip the thing (although more than once I accidentaly have changed the master themeBuilder). Alot of those steps are just to be 100% complete. Heck, closing Paint.net is a step that doesn't need to be done. And really, I didn't need to navigate to the directory only one folder at a time. There is a difference between "informational guide" and "super quick way"

It can show if you rush. Take your time.

I bet 100 bucks that you will become a Theme Master.

We didn't make these for rewards.

And Fors, where's Last Stand 2.0?

Why did you make them then?

I just want mine to be accepted so I can use it for my group.

  • 07.23.2008 8:56 AM PDT

Do you get a message if your theme is accepted?

Nope. Just find out through other users, Sniper will certainly make an update in the Theme Builders Group as well. Or just make a test group to check for yourself... If you're theme is accepted, you'll know soon enough.

Scotty, that's definitely the best one you've made. Umm, stosh said he wanted some of the themes I've been posting to be simplified, due to many of them being flashy images and intense coloration... I think that theme is easily simple enough to add a sidebar... I just used the gradient because our themes in particular needed them. I think the gradient looks nice on yours, so by all means keep it, but I also think that a sidebar would be perfectly fine. Nice work.

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

Hey guys, new to the Theme scene, it's nice to try new stuff.

Here is my first ever attempt.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/illiterate_retard/CS.j pg

I put both images together, the Group header is at the bottom. I did a stupid mirror on it. Haha, I don't know any of the cool techniques like making the Group Homepage image go through part of the tables and them being slightly transparent.

But maybe I'll learn.

[EDIT]
I must say, I feel kind of intimidated being in this thread full of Legendary/Mythic/Theme Masters. I'm use to the H3 forum which barely has any Heroic members.

Just out of interest, how does one change the background of the news and group description areas? I can't seem to find the right class to change...
