Questions? Comments? Criticism?

My only problem, the photoshop effect. It kind of kills the feel to it.

Everyone has CS3. That is SOOO expensive. How'd you all have it?

You can get a 30 day trial here. It works great, it's what I used before I got mine from family.

I'm not sure if you used a photoshop effect or not, but the 'outline', if you could call it that, kind of kills it for me.

Alright, I made a new theme, kind of dark and starry. Comments or criticism?

Here is another one of the themes I have been working on. This is the newest one, and has the least amount of work done. It's based off of Halo 2's E3 encounter with the Brutes. It's still a work in progress, but I'd love to know what you guys think!


I like. Great work. =)

Any ideas, comments, criticism on mine?

Theme Front Page
Theme Forum

I think I need to move the helmet up on the front page.


very stretched out. Try to avoid scaling without constraining proportions.

Without the stretchy...it has potential!

Yea, I am not very good at this stuff. And frankly, I don't know how to not make it so stretched. Tips?

Rokit: Did you see my last post? I changed the Starry theme around quite a bit, as well as taking out the filters.

EDIT: I've got them on Photobucket too if they're not loading. The Imageshack ones are bigger, though, if you can see them.

Thanks for uploading them to photobucket; they look really good. Good work. ;)

What do you guys think of this so far? I thank Chibi for the image. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks Saint! You have no idea how much of a confidence boost that just was. Appreciate it.

I like it as well. Add a forum header and we're good to go! You know you have a good image when it looks good unmodded.

It would appear that way, wouldn't it. I added a gradient to the image; that way it seems to fade a little bit. Usually though, the subtle change are the best changes.

My thanks for the comment.

Ah yes I see. Since it's a continuous image rather than my many...I see what you did there.

EDIT: One thing you're lacking is a sidebar image.

Talon...look at the theme I posted on this page, and then all the ones Halo2Girl (Wolfie) has posted. I think those, along with rokit's, are the ones that are going to be, or in my case, are submitted.

(On mine, be sure to use the photobucket links, the imageshack ones are messing up for some reason.)

Yea, I'm still browsing my options for that. =\

Edit: For the above, don't forget Saint's 'Cortana' theme. That looks really good too. As well as Sharp Snipers current theme. Actually, just about every ones theme has turned out really good.

I like how you lightened up the Chief photo, and made the grid purple instead of blue. Looks great Saint.

Mmm, cookies.

All y'all making themes, here would be an appropriate place to put them. This thread is getting very cluttered and you can have your own separate thread for all of your themes which people can comment on.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Wolfie says: No, this thread was made for us to post our themes and recieve feedback from the community, we don't need a group.

I says: Idiot.

*slaps both of you*

A group would get the exact same reaction, the membership is open, so all of the community can be there to comment, except it would be much, much easier in a group than one cluttered thread. stosh could also easily access them and inform the people who make the themes of upcoming updates, and could get feedback from a desired audience, instead of randoms from the Flood saying "CHANGE IS BAD, YOU SUCK!" Think of the advantages, people!

Sure, it's not entirely necessary, but is any group? A group will be an improvement on this thread, so why can't we improve it?

Although nothing is wrong with making a group, because we're allowed to and it's not against the rules or anything. We don't really know if Stosh would look at the group forums, or even if he's still looking at this thread.

Also, there's already a group revolved around theme making, it's called Theme Masters, even though you don't really have to be one to join, membership is open. That group is dead however, so that new group might be appropriate.

Either way, I'm joining this new group. Stosh's comments and criticism isn't the only criticism I appreciate when showing people what I'm working on.

I still don't understand what you are saying.
You want us to join a group to post ideas on Group Themes. How about No.
This thread was created for the sole purpose of making themes. It was created by someone who actually has input on what gets put on this website... not fan kids.
Also bringing the Flood into this post is irrelevant. I think this thread will suffice.
Sorry but I wish I had two sets of hands to give you four thumbs down. Good idea but has already been set in motion.

You still don't know what I'm talking about? Here is why I made the group... again.

- This thread is cluttered, it's spread out through many pages, so it's hard to give feedback on themes.
- There's a high chance that stosh doesn't look at some of these themes because it is such a large, growing thread.
- It will be easier to get a larger amount of feedback on themes without quoting and making things confusing, if you have a separate thread for new themes.
- stosh (if he joins) could get information across to the theme makers easily, and to a direct audience.
- stosh (if he joins) can find themes easily, and give personal feedback easily.
- It will still be an improvement over this one, cluttered thread.
- There are much more, just think about it.

I don't see why you think it's a bad idea. What is so wrong about it? If I keep getting this negative feedback, I'll shut the group down, but I still don't see why.
