[WIP][SM4]StarSTEP

captainjack360 · 09-16-2007, 02:40 PM

edit: I moved on to another theme project so this is dead I guess.

I have begun another theme project.

StarSTEP will be the name for now AFAIK, I might keep it that way.

This theme will work with SM 4.0 CVS 7-31-07 builds.

God damn there is more to making a theme than applying GLOWING OUTLINES to every image!

Which is what is all you have done... besides a slight modification in the songwheel.

I highly suggest actually making a theme rather than opening every image and applying a filter to it all. One theme I know that did similar was the inverted theme, and how many people do you know that use it? I know of none.

You actually should put a little bit more thought into it than just think one filter looks cool and just apply it everywhere...

I know that filters are extremely bad in theme making.

Only thing is, I don't know how to make graphics from scratch without screwing up.

Before I touched Photoshop, I had no idea how to use it either. What kind of excuse is that?

If you're looking for suggestions...my suggestion is to have a slightly higher contrast with some things. For example, on your EDIT OPTIONS screen, that shade of grey is a little hard to read over top of the dark blue/black background.

But yeah, keep working at it

Starstep?
wheres the stars

,it just looks like a darker version of the default theme that i dont like tbh

he should have checked the wiki on how to make a theme before even trying

Wow nice theme, but this theme like stepmania system zero on select music header and the difficulty meter ^_^.. Keep it up, don't give up with the result of the poll who says "Take it off now my eyes hurt".

And where's the stars? You said this theme is StarSTEP, but where is that element?

This theme hurts my eyes.

I highly suggest you sketch out some original designs before you jump into a theme, or before you use that Find Edges filter.

sayaka-seira999 · 09-26-2007, 11:15 AM

............. well... it's... uhh that' s right, I don't ever thinking about it, asterax-san T_T
My comment now is; meh, this theme looks very awful but it will not good and looks like stepmania system zero, or it just like stepmania 4 default theme [look at the select music screen. It looks like Techno Fiend and other elements like I said at previous and this. Am I right???] >_<"

So sorry if you guys who read this is feels irated... ^_-

k⁄⁄eternal · 09-26-2007, 11:22 AM

Did you just compare this to Techno Fiend? That theme was GOOD, not like this one at all.

ramyishappy12 · 09-27-2007, 01:49 PM

Paintmania was a joke theme, you can't compare it to any serious theme.

Also, Paintmania was hilarious. This one's a bit short on punchline.
