Ns Marine Windows Theme

TheDestroyerTheDestroyer Tooobah Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18123Members, Constellation
<div class="IPBDescription">Need Help!</div> Well, in celebration of NS 2.0, I am starting my long mentally planned marine start bar.

After starting this project, I have come to realize an ingame picture of commander mode (which it is themed off off) is not enough. Does anyone out there have bare-bones commander pics (i.e. the buttons without building icons on them, a decent small TSA logo, etc.)? If so, contact me on #covertoral, or AIM DestroyerThe. Any visual donations would be greatly apprecialted.

Thanks!

    You could download a sprite viewer and look at the comm view sprites. It's a bit easier, it would seem.

    Not neccesarily as you will have to figure out how they fit together.The easiest would be to go comm and
    scroll into the black, then take screen. But that would still leave you with some 'unwanted elements'.

    hmm i think i could make a DesktopX Desktop using the Commander mode(then using the "build" menu as shortcuts for progs, and the top bar for Comp status - from samurize), shouldn't be that hard, if i feel like it i will start tommorow <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks!

    Yea, realized sprite viewer is a whole lot easier.

    I stayed up all last night to finish the task bar and user pane. The current background is has nothing to do with the theme, I just think its cool. A custom one will be designed for inclusion with the appearance modification.

    Here's a screen shot of it so far!

    Do realize of course, its not completly done, and its just in the first of a few design phases!

    The Log Off button and Turn Off Computer look like they are made in paint.
    Will there be a Ns Alien version?

    bah Desktop X pwns standard Themes, and its not even that hard, the only hard thing to do is make the images and align them so it looks good...


    BTW i did start on it, but i have realished that i have to cut the menu into little pieces since its not completly regtangular - so there comes "blind" spot to the desktop even though its transperant...
    and cutting it into a lot of regtangular pieces i dont feel like right now :/

    Yes, kharaa theme, please <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yea, Jez, all of this is done with a sprite viewer and paint, resulting in this poor quality. Don't worry though, the finished product will be cleaned up with PSP or something to that extent!

    ..Kharaa version, yea, I was thinking about it. One thing at a time, though, I'll get to it A.S.A.P.!

    That's pretty cool. But the Log Off/Turn off Computer look out of place.

    Please finish this marine one.

    Also, make the start bar more smooth, looks like a frickin blue porcupine.

    Also, smooth out the "user name" thingy.

    Other than that, SWEET!!!!

    As noted earlier...

    I WILL CLEAN IT UP LATER!!!!

    ....ok, that feels better now...

    After 5 minutes of posting the picture, I fixed some stuff people were complaining about.

    *cough* *blue porcupine* *cough*

    Liku, did you mean the white boader around the logon/off and shut down buttons, because I noticed that right after I posted and fixed it.

    Yeah, as long as they don't stand out to much.

    After you're finished with the theme, are you going to make Icons to go along with it? ~_^

    I'm pretty sure someone on the dev team released some windows icons a long time before the first release, they were even using the real stuff from the game. Although, I think they were lost when the forums switched over to Invision.
  • TheDestroyerTheDestroyer Tooobah Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18123Members, Constellation
    I'm doing that, too. Don't worry, this is an all out redo of WinXP's look.

    I will be doing icons, "borrowing" sounds from NS (unless the Dev. Team reads this and says no...), mouse pointers, logon screen, boot screen, and, ONCE AGAIN, a Kharaa version.

    Please, quit saying that you want alien version. I can only do one project at a time!

    Oh, and a.t.m., a fellow CO member and good NS buddy "Forkeh" is working on a matching background that will be included in the now named "NSXP" Theme for the "Commander" scheme.

    Where you get that wallpaper <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • TheDestroyerTheDestroyer Tooobah Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18123Members, Constellation
    The wallpaper will be released once I see Forkeh online.
    Will either be on the NSXP website I am working on, or I will use an image host to post it here.

    Don't worry, I've got you guys covered!

    Ok, guess what I have for y'all...

    A website to check and bother me with!

    <a href='http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/nsxp/' target='_blank'>http://www.angelfire.com/ns2/nsxp/</a>

    Ok, here I have in the download section, my current tester NSXP.
    Note that NSXP is designed for top or bottom, not sides of screen.
    Note that parts of the bar still are not finished...I have a life (somewhat...im in band...), I want to live some of it...and play NS.

    And Forkeh should get me the wallpaper for it tonite...so I'll put that up, too.

    Edit: The wallpaper is up now.
  • TheDestroyerTheDestroyer Tooobah Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18123Members, Constellation
    Ok, since Quanaut was gripeing about it...

    Time for an update on NSXP!!!!

    Well, the start bar is now cleaned up alot. I still have some stuff to do to it. I started on the window look, and its coming along good, but slowly. I do have a life, you know.

    I PROMISE IT WILL BE OUT BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!
    Think of it as a Christmas present that you know about...

    I'll try and keep y'all posted on the updates!

    Oh, and by the way, no, the cleaned up start bar is not available for nsxptester...sorry...
