Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Forum Tutorials --- WATCH THEM AND LEARN

I'm just wondering where the main theme builder topic thread was, and if this could be it. =\

* Coke relises this has no chance of becomeing the official thread now

I have a question anyways.

For pictures in for the themes we make, are we alloud to put copy right and the creaters name on each image or down the bottom of the page somewhere?

(I'll try to support the growth of a Themebuilder thread, I guess.)

Answer: I don't think that you can use ANY copyrighted material, unless it's your own (in which case you'll lose the copyright to MS if Bungie accepts and uses your theme) or Microsoft's. Just giving credit on the picture or elsewhere probably won't cut it.

Question: I know that the guide says that all GIFs have to stay the same size. Does this include the BodyBackground.gif that is tiled down the background of the whole site? Right now it's only 5 pixels high, which doesn't allow for much creation of interesting repeating patterns. Would it make any difference if it were taller? (Obviously, the width would ahve to stay the same.)

-Sep7imus is just overflowing with ideas, though he'll probably fail to implement them.

If it's not Bungie related, I'm not sure why you think we're going to accept it anyhow. I mean, I'm all big on Dilbert just like everyone else, but you're not going to see me make a Seventh Column Dilbert theme.

One: are we allowed to edit the navigation consoles colors?

Two: are we allowed to use images on the bungie.net site to create the header?

Please Respond to this!

My Theme Will own!!!

One: As I understand it, no. Tinman can correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Two: Yes. It's not an infringement on intellectual property if it's already owned by Bungie. ;)

I changed a few colors, nothing crazy, just toned down the colors, and made them better suit my theme, is that ok? I guess it's too late now, I already sent it in!

Sorry about this but my link colors dont work in the styles.css file.....I open it up with Microsoft Frontpage and ive tried it in wordpad, and no matter what it won't change my links colors, I have tried changing all of the link colors to the same color and nothing works!

Please Help Me!

It is much appreciated as this is one of my last things to do.

You can't change those at all. We have 10 different ones you can pick from (just change the filename in the CSS to choose which MainNav you want to use, ie: BungieNavBottom.gif, ClassicGamesNavBottom.gif, etc.)

So if you've edited those images, you're out of luck. Just pick from what's provided. We'll attach the correct one to your theme.

Different browsers cache CSS differently. First, make sure you've saved your changed css file. You can try refreshing the page, restarting your browser, deleting your temporary internet files...that may work. You just need to get your browser to look at the changed file, instead of what it has cached.

Yea that's fine.

So any Microsoft theme would be (in theory) acceptable?

I think that I might do a BOB -vs- Bob theme. Bungie's BOB (they're everywhere!) against Microsoft's [color=white]Bob[/color] (he's nowhere!).


Well, if an Xbox theme is acceptable, I suppose I could make a Bandai Pippin theme, since there was a version of Marathon on it.

I've just submitted my Marathon terminal interface skin by the name of Marathon: Simplicity. It's a bit old-school, but I think it's a nice trip down memory lane.

*fingers crossed for acceptance*

Hey I'm really sorry but I sent along some changed nav bars, so I just now sent you another e-mail this time with the original nav bars attached. Hope you you guys like it!

It is open season for themes. Just as long as you realize that we make no guarentee when, if ever, we'll use your theme. But you should hurry, as we'll be releasing an update to the site soon that will add all the Halo 2 integration to the site we've been promising, and if you want your theme to go out with that release, you should get it in to us soon. But if you miss it, don't worry, we'll add your theme in a future update. Maybe even the next day if it is good.

Achronos words

Thanks man.

Will any of you guys remake some of the old themes before the new hotness upgrade came. Some people would feel more comfortable having those back.

Other ideas for a theme:
* Have a mix of Cortana and The Matrix theme with all the binary coding to give that interface feel.

* A group of MCs in heroic stances with a chaotic city backround full of bullet holes and burning wreckage with a hazy orange sky full of jets and missles.

* A group of Elites in a distance looking down at a chaotic Earth with a bunch of space ships orbiting around Earth waiting a siege.

* A scene of a MC and an Elite in a John Woo HK flick style stand-off with magnums pointed on each others head. Backround can be in some type of dark interior.

* One MC and one Elite, both in black with plasma swords in ninja stances.
