I have no idea how to make a theme.
Can somebody PM me very basic guidelines on how to make one, like Duardos Phoenix Theme?
Thanks.

Well you have to go into Photoshop or any other photo-editing software and design anything you want for a group to these specifications.

Posted by: stosh


Group Header: 631px wide (can be any height)
Right Sidebar Image: 256px wide (can be any height)
Forum header image: 902px wide/80px High



'px' means pixels. I'm sure you've looked at other people's photos that look like they're already for on a group. They actually aren't so just try and aim to creat something that looks like this. Need any other help?

No problem, and just another fan made that probably.

Forum headers are the header for the forum section of the group. They are a different size than the normal header. Usually (902x100) or (902x80). Here is an example of a finished forum header in a group forum...

Not sure. But, I think if they still need themes, they will take them...

Yea, I'm with Sniper; Stosh'll probably take them until he gives the word.

Also, I would like some criticism on my current theme that I have been working on. It is going to be a Bungie General, so yea. Anyway, here is the group header. And here is what it would look like. Any comments would be great. (Thanks for the templates PKF, they help quiet a bit.)

Well Rokit, I think you should crop the header image...

Yea, I was trying to leave so much empty space, but if I stretch the image too much then the fist looks out of proportion. Thanks for the comment though Sniper. I'll try to either fill some of the empty areas and get rid of the non-essentials.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

wow. i must say i am extremely impressed with the reaction of the community to this. really shows there is still an active 7th column spirit here, even in the "new" guys! very cool stuff. i'm still debating if i should just wait for the official template or not, for fear i'll have to change stuff.

I like the concept of your theme Saint, it's going to need some work though. I think a carnage picture would go great as a sidebar image for that medal theme. Also, mrsmiley I would probably start a theme before the release of the themebuilder, not sure if Stosh is still taking them though. You will have to ask him to find out...

Mister chief one is more for laughs. Any suggestions on them?

Love the Mister Chief; even if it is just for laughs. As for the Se7enth Column, and yes I am being rather picky, the entire left side just seems a bit empty. I would recommend putting something there, just to make it more 'filling'. Both look very good though.
