Retroids Themes - Feedback - Requests - Submissions

[Jack Bauer]

Unless you're blind or have a really small monitor, chances are you've noticed the themes over there to the left and right.

If you want to make and submit your own, download this template .PSD, it works fine in Photoshop and Gimp and pretty it up with some images. Here's an example of how one of my finished themes look.

Once you've put a theme together, save it as a .PNG, upload it to somewhere like Dropbox or Mediafire (I wouldn't advise using an image host, most of them usually convert it to a different format and some quality can be lost.) and PM it to Ken and / or Terry for consideration, remember, not all themes will be used, so don't take it personally if yours doesn't get used.

If you don't know how to use Photoshop or Gimp, or just can't be bothered, just make a request in this thread and I'll try and get to it ASAP. Feel free to leave any feedback for any of the themes as well.

Other than not being able to see the theme completely because my screen resolution is 1280x800, I like this new addition to the site. I downloaded the template and have been thinking of themes to make for the forum. I want to make one suggestion though which would be to have the name of the game somewhere visible since there are a few themes that I don't recognize.

Love the themes! Saw Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter the other day, put a big smile on my face

I already submitted a few (RidgeRacer3D, Totori, Deus Ex HR, etc), but it's kinda sad that they get compress so heavily. I handed them over with a size of ~500kb, but they end up on the site with ~100kb. Not much for a 1080p picture.

That is so pages load in a reasonable amount of time. Each new image request requires a certain amount of overhead and latency. Personally, I don't think the images look that compressed at all and I'm viewing the site at 1920 x 1080.

Well, ultimately it's up to you guys. I do see the jpeg compression artifacts and degradation in picture quality, but I've also seen the higher quality version so that might be another factor.

I'm actually amazed the images load so quickly on every page. Even 100kb is a lot of weight to add for each page load. I love the look, even though the first time I saw it I thought it was an ad, lol. Are they disabled for mobile browsing, this would drive me crazy on a phone.

I can't see them on the iPhone. And if you have Tapatalk, you obviously won't see them either.

Can there be a way to have a permanent theme and to choose which theme I want as a background from a list of all the uploaded themes?

Weird, I was just talking to Terry about the custom code I'm working on to provide exactly that feature...

Are you bugging my house?
