Hey guys, finally changed to CFG seeing as GX has too many problems for my liking, especially the newer builds..

CFG is much better in my opinion, but it seemed to really lack a good theme, so i thought id make one best i could.

Well its still not finished, spent all night getting this far.. should be finished soon, the theme.txt might take me a bit, seeing as this is the first time i have ever made a theme for.. well, anything really.

Anyway, hope you guys like it so far.

UPDATE 2: FINISHED
Well arent you a lucky bunch, i stayed up till 5am to finish the theme.. just couldn't leave it! Gonna fail today's test pretty hard .. oh well.
So here it is:

Now im thinking of doing an animated Splash/Channel to this

Just checking, you do know about the Configurator, right? It lets you edit the options on a Windows PC and see how the theme will look on the Wii:

There's also a very poorly grammatically titled thread for Cfg themes in case you haven't seen it.

Finally, when you are done, make sure you put the theme up at wii.spiffy360.com as then people will be able to download the theme with the loader.

WOW! That should be the new default theme for CFG.
Maybe you could contact the devolpers to integrate it, and maybe you could also design a new (matching) bootscreen?

And could you also release the .psd for personal use when finished?

Anyways, been working on an alternative bootscreen, contemplating about which theme i should finish off first.. sorta got divided upon two different themes, "Simplex" and this new one.. anyways heres a bootscreen of the maybe new theme i got, if it doesnt merge or become something else..

Wow, I'm a big fan of Cfg ant this theme is very nice, maybe you can adjust the background a little. The console looks great by the way. Good luck!

Oh, I have another problem: I don't have a wide screen TV and all my themes for Cfg show a black bar at the bottom in console view like the picture is stretch. Does anyone know how do I solve this for the console view? Thank you!

I don't see really the need for a new Topic (though we had much worse topics here
tongue.gif
), I'll throw my opinion in anyways: Well, that's probably most of the sleekest themes I've ever seen (for all USB-Loaders). Really, great work, I love it

. Though, I don't like the GUI/Selection-Background. If you would just remove the console, it would be a perfect BG, IMO.

Btw: I would faint is this could be done for WiiFlow xD.
