Press Print Screen while viewing the index page; paste your image in MS Paint or Photoshop; and make your own color scheme! Then, decorate it!

Snowmen is the prettiest layout I've ever seen.

Also, I dunno if I've forgotten my photoshoop skillz, but I cannot figure out how to do this on Paint, PSP7 or Photoshop without making the layout all ugly because of the text. Wtfffff?

Did Bleys not do a black theme once upon a time; everything, and I mean, everything, was #000000, or am I mistaken?! Perhaps it was done at Vesper!

I think what EoFF really needs is an FFXIII skin, what with it coming out soon and all. I'm not sure what it would look like, though. Maybe white and pink in a similar style to the FFXIII PS3? Or maybe the same sort of colours that match the XIII logo.

Well if anyone wants to design something based on this:

http://bhgamer.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/ffxiiips3.jpg

Then I could have a go at making it. I think it'd look cool with that pink artwork on it. I'm terrible at design so I don't really want to have a go myself. It'd look hideous.

Christmas
12-24-2009, 02:20 PM
Instead of ripping off artwork to be the banner or something, why not get one of the artist here to draw an original one?

Jirito is a pretty decent choice. I will recommend her.

Rye
12-24-2009, 02:24 PM
Oh my god. Monda. Make that indented, and I will seriously use it over Aeris Reborn. It's sooooo pretty and clean.

Psychotic
12-24-2009, 02:26 PM
It's not really ripping off seeing as how it's actual game artwork. Otherwise you could claim all of our skins (other than the new classic) are ripped off! Either way if Jirito or whoever makes a banner that'd be cool too.

It would be amazing to have a completely original skin for FFXIII (banner art, original sprites for forum icons, buttons, etc)! I say we do it. =O

This thread made me feel like making a sprite of Lightning, and that's what I'm doing right now.

We also had the idea of having a countdown to XIII's release somewhere too. I guess it'd work in that skin.

Unlike, well, pretty much every other layout posted in this thread (except for the black-on-black one), yours isn't really really bright. It's easy-on-the-eyes, uses nice colors, and is overall just pleasant to look at. There are some other good and well thought-out layouts posted in this thread, but yours is so far the only one I would actually use.

1) It is a pretty good layout; I didn't recognize it immediately because I don't use it and haven't even seen it in a long time.

2) I think black orb's banner/icons makes it seem a little more purpley or something, which I like.

3) I was also more impressed because I thought black orb did it all himself. :p

They're actually small light-up plastic candles. Viewed from above they look like that. They also look like that when you embed them into your eye sockets.

It would be amazing to have a completely original skin for FFXIII (banner art, original sprites for forum icons, buttons, etc)! I say we do it. =O

This thread made me feel like making a sprite of Lightning, and that's what I'm doing right now.

I love it! And yes, we should totally have an FFXIII theme.

All you need is MS Paint, Vyk. It's what I made mine in, anyway. And if you don't have that, you can always just edit the source code!

Also yes! You should try designing an XIII skin, Rantzien! I have a few vague ideas for an XIII skin I want to play around with too, so if we all give it a go, maybe we'll come up with something good!

Oh, yes, I like it! I bet it'll look the business with the banner and icons. As an alternate I was thinking of that but with the colours reversed maybe. I may try experimenting in paint myself and see what it looks like!

Remaking this post so I can post attachment. Although maybe you can edit them in, I cba to find out.

There's a lot of white space in the top left but that's where whatever banner we have would go! I know a couple of bits of the background look a little patchy, but this is just a rough mock up, if it was to be the XIII skin someone could make it look a lot better than I have.

EDIT: Hmmm maybe that light pink is a bit too light. But you get the idea.

Rantz
12-31-2009, 01:41 AM
I like it! I don't know if pink is the best pick for the XIII skin though. Maybe it's better to pick a colour scheme with broader appeal? I'm working on something too, although I keep getting distracted.

Psychotic
12-31-2009, 01:43 AM
Yeah I wondered if people would be turned off by the fact that it's pink too. But, I do dig the PS3 console!

EDIT: Oh just as Rye was asking earlier in the thread how to do this, what you do is you paste a screen into paint, then:

- Dropper tool. Left click the colour you want to replace, and use right click to select the colour you want to replace it with.
- Select Eraser. Hold down CTRL and press + on the numpad repeatedly until your eraser is gargantuan.
- Then hold down the right button and go over your entire picture with it. Ta-da. If you're replacing white, some of the forum smileys/icons may get a bit messed up but you can always copy and paste them back in!

It's actually really easy and can be done in like two minutes if you just want to change the colours.

I have an idea! Psychotic, you should make an announcement that asks members to post original FFXIII artwork or graphics (or even ideas) that they come up with in this thread or a new one! Since no new skins will be made until the next vbulletin upgrade, there would be plenty of time for people to make submissions.

You could also make a poll of color choices (for the color scheme) for people to vote on.

That's a good idea! Although with the announcement I may wait a week or two as I don't want to knock Shiny's Best of off the top spot.

I also think there are new icons for vB4.

Paul said he didn't mind if I played around with his layout, and this is what I got. I fixed the colors and added some texting.

It looks surprisingly adorable in an orange-creamy-peach sort of color. I think I might prefer this to the purple one, to be honest, but that's just me.

I changed it in color mixer so it's not quite right, but you get the idea of what it'd look like:

@ Rye's FFXIII Skin: I love it with pink and no Harry Potter lighting thing! It would probably look good in baby/powder blue too. I was thinking of a silver, red and black color scheme for the fellas.

@ Monda's Quina Skin: I wanna nom it up! <3

@ Monda's Rainbow Skin: I feel like I'm on an acid trip.

Regarding the FFXIII skins being thrown about: If you're going to have it be in light pastel colours I urge you to stick to 100% dark fonts. To have white on light pastel is really hard to read. Also, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a darker version for us that don't like pastels to also be made.

Being grumpy on the Internet, obviously. If I don't regularly bring down the vibe then by comparison the up's wouldn't seem as good. But do I get any thanks for my tireless civil service? Noooooooooooooooooo.

Agreed, reading white off of pale pink is extremely hard.

Is it me, or does the black text on the pale pink looks a bit rough? But maybe that is due to how the screen caps are being manipulated. :/

Overall, I like it though. :D

I disbelieve anyone is doing this in MS Paint. The text has major gradations when pasted directly into Paint. So you'd have to change like 10 different colors just to hit all the text. Is that really what everyone was doing??

I agree! I was all cba about changing font color though, but yeah. It is hard to read.

Take your own screenshot of EoFF and you'll see the text is one colour.

Nah, it was the clear type font setting. It shades around the edges to make it look smoother or something

I made the beginnings of a Chocobo themed layout. It's called Gysahl Greens. I like the colors and background pattern (it's a little uneven since I did it all by hand rather quick) but I have no idea what to do with the banner, so I just threw something up there. Any ideas? How do you like it?

PS: The text looks funky because of PSP7 not being as precise of Photoshop. Ghetto retro PSP7 style!

Mr. Lynx, that's called a space where a banner is supposed to be and it's otherwise known as the black hole. I love full length banners like the one in Oldskool, but sometimes smaller ones work.
