Official PS3 Custom Theme Thread

I also flipped it around so now it REALLY looks like a musical note. :p

Thanks for the input m0dus.

I think every single icon in the top of the XMB is going to be Winsor Mckay, and not Capcom. Gives the theme a classier look.

What I might do is take sprites from the game, but try to make it look like Winsor Mckay drew them.

i'm thinking about doing one myself, though i'm not that good of an artist. Trying to create a nice wallpaper for now, icons would come later

I am curious, why bother making a theme and others downloading and installing it if the only thing that changes is the wallpaper? if the icons don't change as well, I don't see what's the use. and mildly tilting the icons to the right isn't enough.

good jobs on real themes out there. maybe soon some devs will make their own themes and release them before their games launch. :)
 
Here's the Uncharted PS3 theme I've been working on for the last two days. It's still pretty early, many secondary custom Icons are missing, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to complete it fully, and with the game coming out now, I thought anyone would prefer to have it sooner rather than later. It's good enough for me to use, so it should be OK for others as well :P

:lol

I've already posted it there as well. Don't give up! Your icons were a lot more painterly looking, so I think whole thing would look a lot different - I went for the slightly stylized photo-realistic style, like they have on their website.

Wow! That looks SICK! This theme looks so good that Naughty Dog could ship it with their game! I'll try out your current version when I get home and I look forward to the completed version.
 
XML...XML...XML.

That sounds familiar I'm sure I've used that before but I don't remember. :S

Do I really have to play around with the XML file? Looks like I only have to touch it, if I change the name of the files.

Reading the sample XML file brings back so many memories. :')

You know when it says 16 Background files does that include both configurations of SD and HD, i.e 8 HD BG's and 8 SD BG's?

as i said, i'm still working on the wallpaper for now, icons would come later, i have a couple of cool ideas, but it takes time. i wouldn't post a theme if it's just a wallpaper.

How do you upscale a picture without it looking like shit?
Click to expand...
There's no really good way to do that in general, but it depends on picture. I think for certain kinds of pictures the best solution is to vectorize them (using that vector paint option from new Adobe Illustrator) then manually clean it up and resize to whatever you want.

For other kinds of pictures, you may want to try some of the vector/fractal enlarging algorithms like Stoik or Vidira (google them), or the Lanczos upscale from Irfan View.
 
I'm assuming that's Akuma, but the outline icons only work if people can tell what your character is.

For example, no one would have a clue about an outline of Nemo.
 
Oooo Oooo I have Irfan view.

My problem is I have a dream to make a LocoRoco Theme
Nobody better do it... and put my work to shame. >:(
, doesn't help that I'm artistically challenged, my PC chokes at 1FPS when I run a HD pictures, and there's very very few HD LocoRoco Pictures.

It's just a pet project anyway, but boy do I have everything going against me.

The irony is that I could probably create lots of Icons but not a proper Wallpaper... might work on the Icons first then...
 
I have TONS of HD locoroco pictures if you need them. What high quality screengrabs from PS3 Locoroco, what various other wallpapers that were made available at some point.

In any case, for upscaling Stoik should be your first choice. I've just tested the latest release, and holy shit at the difference in quality between it's "Smart" algorithm and what you can get from Photoshop and such programs.

I have high res version of this also:

I'm almost done with the Silent Hill theme. Just a little bit more work with a couple of icons. I'm also thinking of flipping the wallpaper around, as currently, it looks a little too busy with the icons being in Heather's face.
 
Alot of good bof art and games to choose from, but just found these 2 :D
Gonna attemp to merge them before making the buttons...

Is there someone who already made a loco roco and a LBP one ?
I'm so sad not being half as talented as some of you :(
All i can do is hosting some of the themes if you want... sorry :(
 
Damn, the Uncharted one looks insane!!
I though naughty dog had released it themselves.

Great job on that one. Would like to see the secondary icons please.
