I see what you mean. Problem in using concept art is that it doesn't really come pre-colored, and I don't want to mess with it too much, as I've already shopped parts of it.

What do you guys think of me editing the HTML for the background, or the font colors, or things like that instead?

You could give the group a grey and white theme because then the pictures would fit in more.

ApocalypeX gave me a great idea. Bungie should host a theme creating All Star competition. Yes it will be confusing to some users in the community, but it's a great way to get new themes.

Yeah, but it would take some people more than a week to do...

I know. But the thing is, it seems Stosh is having trouble opening up the winrar files. We seriously need an update on whats happening with the themes sent in so far... before a Bungie All Stars theme contest happens... And heck, it will probably take 3 times as long to decide as the card contest...

Anyways, themes should be kept seperate, considering there is a few theme related titles...

"Theme Master"

"CSS Master" (I think this is a theme builders group only title)

And I think one more. So a title and a star would piss people off... Bungie wants the majority to be happy... a Theme related contest would make the minority happy.

6 Members were given the Theme Master Title, and its not handed out any more anyway so you can't get it just like the MVP Webcam Title.
Quote From Bungiepedia:
Most recent theme-creators used another community member's work to create a theme, so they were not given the title and/or avatar.


Anyway I still think having the next All Stars as a theme contest is a good idea.

That is not saying it is not given out anymore... that is saying that recent themes have been people who can't be bothered doing the work themselves. I do not see how that is not "giving it out anymore" when there is people out there perfectly capable of doing their own designs from scratch.

Well okay.. you know what I meant. No one bothers to build a theme themselfs anymore.

Just wanting to show you guys what I worked on a little bit and see if its worth sending it to Stosh or not. I hope you enjoy them since I put a lot of time in effort in finding and editing the images (photoshop is my friend). The top link is the homepage and the bottom link is the forums.

Problem with the home page is that it uses a lot of different images that don't really go together well, and on top of that, the image you used for the header is already used in a group if I'm not mistaken. As for the forum, the image is stretched and distorted to an extreme amount. I hate sounding like a jerk here, but your best bet would be to scrap this one, and start on a new one.

Keep in mind that you want all of the images to go along with each other. Your theme looks more like a quilt of different fabrics, then one, clean, unified blanket.

I thought the lack of love for ODST's was a little disturbing, so there you go.

I was feeling a little....warm today.

But doesn't Stosh add new themes when the new IP with the New Hawtness? Wouldn't it be smart to send in plenty now to hope to get at least one in the upcoming update? ._.

Not really... I think Stosh will ask for some maybe when we know enough about their new game, and also when there is enough content to work with.

I would like some feedback on my theme about 5 posts back, please.

That is why I posted it here.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Hate to be a killjoy, but what is a theme?
