shadowdragon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've started projects and not finished them (albeit not in a community such as this). I can't speak for @vice350z, but I've often played around with new programs just to see what I can do with it for fun. I think it's a good hobby to have and to have fun with. That's how I fumbled my way around C++ an javascript in the past, and I'm sure some of us have done the same as well. At any rate, I hope that guy sporting a '70s hockey mask comes back adn gives XAML a chance. Who knows, if he'd be willing to part with the the work he's done so far (even it it is the pics), I'm sure someone in the community would pick it up and finish it while a few of us are interested in it. I'm curious to see the outcome as well. He hit a nerve with the nostalgia of playing video games in our bedrooms as kids complete with the era appropriate decorations Cheers.

Basing it off skainlurmis 's New Retro Big Box Theme. I like his theme but decided to tinker around a little and make it look like the consoles are in rooms that would match the decade of the console. Here's two that are a work in progress...One is for the NES. I didn't change the table/tv and a couple other elements that were already in the NRBB theme..just the wall, a new NES angle (i know the controller is cut off, was just for positioning purposes) and the posters/items/toys. The SNES one I started from scratch with a new table/tv and all that so that's why its brighter lit up than the original NRBB theme which has the darker arcade setting/lighting. Any other suggestions/comments? Doesn't necessarily have to be a bedroom...could be any room but using a blank wall as a background with some flooring makes it easier to use posters of the decade in the back. If there's no real interest that's ok..I'm still going to do them for my own use Here's the two samples. Work in Progress and I've never created a theme before so be gentle lol. EDIT: Added an update to the SNES pic...didn't like the table open on the bottom so closed it and added some stickers...also some soda and candy. EDIT 2: 4th image added for SNES...is the actual arcade game in a room too much? I figured this person loves games and may have an arcade in their room too. Download themes ?

I'm pretty sure it's not available in the download section and the project has been abandoned or put on hold. It's a really cool concept, so hopefully @vice350z will have time to work on it again down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice350z Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah, unfortunately I never got around to doing all the consoles. The SNES one took long enough lol..would take a while to gather images for each of the main systems and put them together in some way in photoshop.

I can see how that would take loads of time; it did come together very nicely. If you ever decide to get back to it, I do have a plugin that would vary the position of a video depending on the system background. I implemented that for the Nostalgia theme. Anyways, I should probably take a break from this theming stuff soon. All work no play ... one day I'll actually start using my collection of games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah agreed, that has a similar setup to @eatkinola nostalgia theme, but with a very different look. if you are done with it, maybe share the results of that labour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 @vice350z do you still have your Photoshop files and would you consider uploading them so maybe someone could take up the project crediting your work obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice350z Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) yeah sure, download them from my server. There's the background wall with the posters thats the "fanart" file and then the SNES PSD with the main stuff in the foreground. Fanart SNES Console I also made a NES version to use as an overlay for my RetroPie NES setup. In use on my TV Edited February 28, 2018 by vice350z 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 That's great thanks @vice350z I'll take a look at those tomorrow cheers The second link the SNES.psd the link goes to the Fanart.psd instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qu1r0s Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is amazing @vice350z!! , i'm trying (for personal use) to do game themes videos and backgrounds using part of your job (changing toys and game related stuff for every game) and it's incredible, highly customizable and fits perfectly with nearly all themes. Thanks for sharing the psd files!! It would be amazing if anyone makes more platforms images for this. I tried with nostalgia ones but i can't make them seems natural and i sucks vectorizing or cropping images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice350z Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 No problem...yeah, part of what takes so long is cutting out all those items from an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
