Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[AbdallahTerro]

why still ask about font colors, all the themes have good contrast with the font color used already!

I was asking in case somebody wanted something other than what you have to offer.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

ok, np

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Just a thought. Have you considered using a font that has an opposite color outline or shadow behind it (black with white outline or vice versa)? That way you wouldn't have to worry about the text not being readable on certain backgrounds.

it can easily be added when needed

 

[Drak0rex]

Huh. Guess it was a good idea...

 

[AbdallahTerro]

No harm keeping it

 

[Drak0rex]

Then how does it look when applied all over? (really liking that black and yellow, btw)

check it out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r94xjioi07s7e56/boot.dol?dl=0
shadow distance decreased to just 1 pixel here

another idea:

It's definitely readable, but I think it might be a bit much when applied to the game list. Might wanna test both, just to be sure.

which colors you think for the menu?
we already are using black font

Umm... I dunno. Gamecube purple? Try a few and see what looks good. I'ma test this one now.
...The first one you did looks clear on my end.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

...now thinking about it more I don't like the idea
... we already made contrasting backgrounds
using non-contrasting background will look very ugly in other menus and in game list
no more experiments, I can only change the "B: Cancel" shadow size and position if needed

What about orange? Orange looks good.

Was just trying to think of a way that background choice wouldn't be an issue.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Golden yellow looks much better especially on dark backs

 

[OriginalHamster]

Yeah keep yellow one, also the updating system is working flawlessly, great job ABZ

ultimate contrast: pushed

At least admit that you aren't making these backgrounds. Putting a semi-transparent white layer over stuff you found on Google Images isn't the same thing.
