Themes for PM3.HD

Paybac Wrote:Blue
Original for comparison

I actually like your animated gif's better than the original.
It's the way it glows from the center outwards in a more obvious manner. I dont know, I dont think I can explain it, I just like it better. It's good work.

Paybac has done a wonderful job making Animated GIF Replacements. They are now available on the site. Thanks Paybac
I also have some new Carbon Fiber Replacements available for download on the site. Like I have shown in a screenshot before I have a replacement texture I called "HoneyComb" -in 2 different sizes- and now I have a NEW texture that I called "XStitch" (see below)


(^above is the Burnt Orange color scheme with a matching XStitch texture and Paybac's orange colored GIF, took about 1.5 minutes to make this into a theme)

Have a look at the new stuff by clicking my sig image.

EDIT:

Ok here is a completed theme i have made over the last couple of days for PM3.HD

Industrial.HD


CLick to Download (13.3mb)

I am not sure how the xbox would handle something like that either since gif's are a little much for it as it is so with the added resizing of it navigation may slow down too. (who knows though I haven't tried it).

Currently each color scheme (with one exception) has 20 colored graphics.

Soon will have more graphics added!

Are those all the required files that i need in order to compile a .xpr file?
i downloaded a theme that has the above files and used XBMCTex.bat on 'em, placed the xpr file in my media folder and managed to select the new colour scheme. now it seems that all icons disappeared. the new xpr file is also only 2.9 megs oppposed to the 16.3 megs of the original pm3.hd xpr file

i'm sure i could contribute some nice themes once someone pushes me into the right direction.
thanx!!!

The required files are 'however many gfx you want' in a theme, it's totally up to you what you put in a theme. If you wanted to you could make a theme with only one graphic packed into it (lets say the logo graphic for pm3.hd). It would seem like a REALLY incomplete theme but if the logo bothered you before then you just fixed it with a theme.

Just play around and see what you can do. Just keep the same dimensions as the default images.

Also, you need a textures.xpr in your media folder. The problem you experienced is because the textures.xpr has all the default gfx and the theme you make (theme.xpr) has the replacement gfx.
A skins code calls for say 150 specific images. By default it looks in the skins media/textures.xpr for all gfx. When you select a theme, it will instead look there for all the gfx, but if it doesn't find some gfx that it needs in the theme then it will resort to looking in the default textures.xpr
Pretty much all themes don't replace ALL the graphics for a skin so if you are using a theme XBMC is looking inside both xpr's simultaneously.

I hope I explained well enough.
I suck at explaining stuff. LOL
And look for a big update to the site thanks to Paybac's efforts (and my own efforts) in the coming few days.

alright. i had these themes made up for a while now so i thought i may as well post them here so you can add them to your site IllumiNaughty.
