Just made a LBP wallpaper (1080p). Don't have enough ideas for icons, tho :/

Can you do that without the XMB outline?

For the icons, you'll have to be as creative as the game :D

Sackboy, wooden cogs, wheels. Watch some videos on gametrailers for some inspiration.

Oh, and some wallpapers have a planet like this.

Quick question:

Has anyone used the MGS4 or Okami themes on an SDTV? I'm currently HDTV shopping but it may be awhile before I get one so I'm curious if either still looks good on a 4:3 SDTV compared with a 16:9 HDTV. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I too would love to see someone make a Devil May Cry Theme, that would be awesome. :D

My TV is a 4:3 CRT HDTV, and the MGS4 theme looks great in it. :D

m0dus, it can't be said enough: the Okami theme is outstanding and your best work so far. Amazing use of the art-style on all icons...even the notification window exudes "Okami-ness". :D

Can't wait for your next one! (REAL Mario Galaxy theme, please)

My 'shop just crashed and I haven't saved the .PSD <_<

For the icons, I had some of them (yes, this one for friends :p, and another pretty obvious one for network, for instance), but 70 of them ? Way too much :lol

Do you need to make 70 or do a lot of them just have to fall under the same "look" while keeping the default icon? The main XMB icons and some subicons need to be changed but not all of them do.

For LBP, I would just use whatever comes to my head that I can see being used in the game. Paintbrush, wooden squares/circles/triangles/wheels, minitelevision for videos maybe, music note for music, simple stuff like that.

I'm now rocking the MGS4 one, thanks m0dus:D

It's nice to see Sony giving us more functionality to personalise our consoles:)

yeah, I guess I'll end up using complex icons for the major XMB ones, and much simpler ones (maybe even slightly modified versions of the originals) for sub-icons.

How about something like this (for network) ?

This is gonna take a while though, and I aint no m0dus :lol

the filecrunch host keeps giving me a '403 forbidden' page. is it just me or what?
this is the full message:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /file/~1j13zx on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. "



and keep up the fantastic work people!

I really wish everyone would start making the links PS3 browser accessible.

filecrunch is the only solution we have now.. Downloading the files from filecrunch has been tested and it works for most people..
 
If anyone is interested in collaborating on a Silent Hill theme, I have some potential wallpapers for it:

I have a couple more, but if anyone wants to mess around with the size/resolutions and icons (possibly remove the SILENT HILL 4 THE ROOM text :D), I think we could have some potential.


sadly, I don't think many SH fans are in here. :(


Let me know if these images are too big and I can just edit and add links.
 
Heres a wallpaper a friend made, might fit a Silent Hill theme if anyone is willing to go for it (please m0dus!!)
I said it a couple of pages back and I'll second/third whatever that request again.:D I'm in /love/ with the Okami theme.

Jesus, so many great themes already. Now using the Okami one, great job on that m0dus. Hopefully Sony's working on more just to take the pressure of you. :lol

Are you sure it's in the PS3/THEME (all caps) folder? Go to the theme sections, choose install, and hope it's there.

Whoa, that's a whoooole lotta anime right there. I loved Grandia on the Saturn back in the day. Is that the one you're talking about?

A streetfighter theme is certainly tempting.

:) maybe there should be a poll.

and TTP, when you say you can't make it work, do you mean it's not installing? remember, your mem-card has to have a PS3-THEMES folder for your system to scan.

I generally make cross-platform style wallpapers (there's an ol' wallpaper thread around here somewhere still)


Street Fighter theme would be awesome.
 
Modus, amazing shit man. Currently marvelling at the Okami theme.

Question for everyone: is there any way for me to resize the backdrop that comes with these themes? Obviously I am one of the few lamewads still playing on an SDTV and these backdrops get way cropped off. Any help?

The Okami and Portal themes are incredible. Fantastic work, fellows.
