I'm just glad I don't have to resubmit. This is all just overwhelming.
It isn't as complex as it sounds. I thought it was going to be too much—knowing nothing about CSS—but it was really simple. Unless you want to edit text colors, alignments, or page layouts, all you have to do is replace the current images with your new ones.

Also, has anyone got word on themes yet? I know it's supposed to be tonight, but I haven't heard anything yet. Does he usually notify by email? And how often do they accept themes?

text color is easy: color: gray; /* or */ color: #c0c0c0;
The hardest part by far is page layout, and browser cross compatability (but CSS is one of the most cross-compatible things ever invented for the web), and for themes you don't have to do it at all. Alignment may seem a little complex but you'll get used to it.

align: right;
align: left;
align: center;

And if you want a good guide to everything look here

Also. If you have HTML editors (Microsoft Visual Studio Web Developer or Adobe GoLive) you can make something look how you want it to in their editor then copy the CSS into the main.css file where you want to put it. Also, if you get the Firefox Extension Firebug, you can switch to inspect mode then click on what you want to change and edit it's properties real time then copy your changes into your CSS file.

I like the idea, but be sure you really know how to manipulate CSS. You're going to need it to make that theme work.

I already messaged Stosh about it. I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem, and that I'll get started soon now that I have my sexy WACOM. MMmmmmm.

  • 03.26.2008 11:26 AM PDT

I sense a massive pain trying to get that to work, but it looks cool. I was wondering when people would start trying to modify the layout. Just make sure you test in multiple browsers.

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.

So we're waiting for Stosh to announce the accepted before downloading this thing, correct?

I know that, but I want to make sure I'm even good enough for doing this before I download it and figure it out. That's all I'm saying.

*Sgt

I tried to make a theme a couple years ago.. I'm terrible at art, let alone making it Bnet eligible.

I may not be able to make one, but I can stop buy and say that I'm eager to see some more user created themes :D

I have made an Xbox wallpaper that could possibly work as a theme. I will upload it later! It has Halo integrated into it as well.

Ya I am not to familiar with CSS and that type of software. I made it all with Photoshop. How can one alter it to work as a possible theme? Please PM me if you know!

*Sorry for double post!

Well when you made your theme, you 'copied' off the layout of a pre-existing theme. Go to that theme and download the CSS file for it. If you need help just let me know which theme it was.

  • 03.28.2008 9:07 AM PDT

Well I fugured the theme builder out, its good. I submitted my updated theme.

I don't think Stosh wanted us to resend them until the winners were announced. But I doubt it matters now. Personally, I haven't resent the CSS version mine yet, as I wanted to wait and see what he said before I bothered him.

Oops...well I didn't have time to read the past couple pages so I didn't know about that.

What's that supposed to mean? The "Theme Builder" is a great tool for many people. Though I already sort of built my own for testing all my themes =P
