I see there is now a "Bungie" theme for groups? is the theme builder available?

  • 10.12.2004 9:02 PM PDT

I thought I'd finally introduce myself, especially since Shiska encouraged me to. I'm the newest graphic designer here at Bungie, (I have to say, it's totally awesome!)

The first thing they had me do was to create this new Bungie theme, well, it's more like old bits and pieces I glued together to make a new theme. Hopefully I'll have time to put together a few more themes, but they're working me hard on other aspects of the site. I'll gladly take suggestions as to what people would like to see for themes, though I do have a few pretty fun ideas of my own. We'll see what happens!

I know SketchFactor and Mr smiley want a Honey mustard theme. That woulds be cool . Actually that would be really cool if you had a group that looked like honey mustard....

I kinda like the dark theme myself, so other themes that contrast in nearly the same way would be nice.

This is what I like about Bungie, the fact that you guys participate in the community and actually talk to us and listen to our opinions as fans. Hope you enjoy your job, and know that everyone here is very supportive of you and your work. Perhaps you can make a flaming ninja theme, or maybe even one with both ninjas and pirates.

Oh, and welcome to the forums, where ninjas and hippos roam free.

EDIT: I do hope you are an actual Bungie employee, since you don't have a custom avatar or description under your name(I'm a bit suspicious).

1). He is.

2). Thought I saw a custom avatar for him checked into one of the newer builds. Might not be live yet, though.

3). Healthy skepticism is a survival trait, keep up the good work.

What about the buttons in the forums on the new theme? I can't say they really fit, although you get used to it. (I mean the "Edit Post", "Msg User", and "Reply" buttons)

Just wondering if we could get an update.... I have a banner made, but I need the theme builder to do buttons and the rest...


It needs work -- but here is the rough banner.


Edit: Something weird with the link -- but it works if you drag and drop into the address bar.

Well, I rather liked many of the old themes. Maybe if you could make remakes of them. I would Personally prefer the Marathon, Myth and Pathways themes, but I suppose that's not likely to happen.

Thanks for the info(and the compliment!) Blondebeard.

GameJunkieJim, that banner is pretty cool. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for the compliment -- I've asked a few people to take it and clean it up since I don't have anything more powerful than MS Paint.

By the way - anyone have any idea how hard it is to make an Elite black and white with MS Paint?

2 1/2 hours.

Why didn't you just use GIMP?

Bungie had said a week after releasing groups that the theme editor would be available... can someone from bungie let us know when we can expect this?

  • 10.22.2004 5:46 PM PDT

The design and graphics of the new groups sections are a little more complicated then they used to be. We're just making sure we've made it as easy as possible for people to pick up and understand. Shishka is looking over the themebuilder now, without any help as to what stuff means, so if he's able to figure it out, it'll be released soon.

there's two themes I've been thinking about ever since I joined but I sadly have neither the time nor experience to make them...
1st is "hunters"... featuring both the Pfhor hunters and halo hunters... good times...
2nd is "the Pfhor"... pretty self-explanitory

and I'm really looking forward to the new theme builder!

Let me make sure that I got this correctly. You're using Shishka as your "lowest common denominator" for testing?

Oh that IS rich! I don't think that I will stop smiling for a week.

Now why is everyone backing away from me? Hello? Ohh, look a little red dot, right on my chest.... I wonder why it's there?


That's a quote (from Recon) that will reach many sigs. I must say, that was funny.

It looks very "Alien"ish, as in the Alien Universe, you know... Xenomorphs...Very cool.

As long as the theme builder is easy enough for Shishka, lol, hopefully it will be for other users as well. I don't think we want the septagon filled up with theme builder questions, or do we?
