Since there were only a few boring skins for XeXMenu, I've started making some skins of my own.
I've asked the community for suggestions since I will upload XeXMenu with these new skins includes (so sort of an upgrade) and they will be helping to decide which ones go through! :lol:

Here's a link to my main thread if you haven't read it.. Clicky

So this is me reaching out to all you graphically talented people! I'd like to see what you can come up with, then I'll post a poll to see what the community thinks are the best ten or so! :lol:

I've been nice enough to make a basic template to get you started - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C5Y0CI5I - I can post a virus scan if need be, but it's a PSD ffs, it's not going to delete your C drive :lol:

Here's an example of what I threw together using that template as a base:
bluehdlarge.png


Also, as a standard and to keep the images as high quality as possible the resolution needs to stay at multiples of 1920x1080, so for example, the template I included has a size of 3840x2160:
canvassize.png


Here is an example of what that image looks like in a theme, just so you know how much you can change/add without it going over text boxes:
xexmenuuitool.png


Once you're finished I will need the PSD you have created, just incase anything needs tweaking to fit right.

As of right now the only "prize" as such is having a theme named after you, using your own graphics in XeXMenu. :smile:

Have fun with this one guys :smile:

There we go, thank you :biggrin:
Made these two so far, see if you like them or not :smile:
Those ones you made look sweet. :smile:

Sadly no, XeXMenu won't accept animated backgrounds. :o

If this thread takes off we could get some truly amazing themes created. :lol:

THE IMAGES IN THE SPOILERS ARE HUGE, OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK
lol, just thought I'd put that there for the people with low bandwidth, didn't want anyone sat there waiting an hour to load the page XD

I put the images you guys made into themes for XeXMenu and took screen caps to show you what the colours would look like, and show you if anything needed changing, for example, to ME on MY screen, the Se7ensins skin created by TCX xVitalz looks too bright against the darker orange text.

There we go, thank you :biggrin:
