La France

BGM: French Accordion
https://3dsthem.es/2696

A friend asked me to make a theme about France and this happened.

Question: does the name Soundtoxin sound familiar to ANYONE? cause they keep on being a critic about themes saying "quality is bad" or "sound is horrible" on 3dsthem.es i even looked at their profile and they havn't made a single theme. how would they know what a Good theme is? they don't even make them.https://3dsthem.es/?q=user:soundtoxin

i even looked at their profile and they havn't made a single theme. how would they know what a Good theme is?

I've made 2 themes. I guess that means I'm qualified to say that almost every single theme I have come across is shit. Even on my own themes, I haven't taken the time to normalize the sfx and tone up/down the music accordingly (maybe one day).

It's not hard to tell whether a theme is good or bad. Whether someone is looking at themes objectively or not is their own problem. When I consider a theme shit, it's because the theme is half-assed. "O hay, a nifty top screen and bottom screen. Just shuffle the colors on the buttons to match....and DONE."

i know horrible themes too but this joker thinks that some/most of the themes i make (shown on this forum/in 3dsthem.es) are Low quality.. i don't even know why this person has a account on 3ds them.es if they do not make themes. plus if they know a good theme, why don't they make one themself? HMMMMM?!

I believe that these users can create accounts on the site to gain access to adult themes.

Your themes ARE pretty horrible ._.
All of the colors you pick for all of your buttons are either really hard on the eyes, or have no semblance of coherence. Rather than themes, it's more like you are picking two images that you think are ok, and then RNG'ing the colors.
Example: Your Legend of Zelda theme uses 4 completely different colors, following no normal pattern that would make any of those colors pleasing to see together without some major effort. This isn't even taking into account that the accent colors used for the arrow icons, text, etc. are also completely different and match next to nothing.

I've looked at some of his comments and yours.
Ex: Steven Universe theme (aka probably the least offending theme you have)
soundtoxin: "The audio quality seems a bit lacking but otherwise the images and song are very nice."
^ This right here? This is a legitimate comment. The pictures themselves are decent, and for once the colors aren't completely atrocious (except for those fucking yellow overlay buttons). I listened to the bgm as well and there is definitely a quality drop in your theme versus the actual video on youtube. It sounds muffled. Perhaps you are using Yata+ and not manually converting songs, or maybe you can't hear how muffled it sounds because it sounds "aight" to you.

Ex: Osomatsu-san theme
soundtoxin: The images and audio are kind of low quality, but I appreciate that someone is making an Osomatsu-san theme.
^ This still isn't really offending sounding now is it? The audio is still muffled. The images themselves...I'd let pass since they look like they were screenshot from an anime frame (aka, they really aren't that great).

As I said, it isn't making a theme that people need to know in order to judge good or bad themes. Maybe he doesn't want to fucking make themes because he is a goddam perfectionist and wants the whole shebang with custom everything like me, but doesn't have the time to put in 3-4 days to make shit look right, sound right, and feel right.

What I have gleamed from looking at the comments on 3dsthem.es is that you are feeling persecuted because your work isn't making someone completely happy. He is simply telling you that the audio quality is IN FACT muffled, which it is (this isn't even talking about on the 3ds yet, this is apparent on the 3dsthem.es preview) and that sometimes your pictures that you are picking are fuzzy and not crisp pictures like the sort you would find in some really wonderful fanart.

I think the site should have a verification system by deleting user accounts that do not have not even posted a custom theme on the site. User relations really think before complaining he should try to make a custom theme first to see if easy to do the SFX, folders and edges.

No, the site really shouldn't. Criticisms and critiques from just a gated community for stuff shared to the world is a poor idea. You get better themes by taking into account how users feel, how you think they would enjoy parts of your theme, and being open to objectively looking at what flaws they may point out.

Yes, it is hard to do SFX, folders, w/e. Yes, doing this shit makes you pretty fiercely biased towards your own themes being pretty fucking great. That doesn't mean that other people need to do it themselves to be able to see when a themer goes that extra mile to give those tidbits and appreciate them. If someone tells me that some of my sfx are fucking loud as shit and some are a goddam whisper (and hell, maybe even tells me which sound effects), I don't tell them to fuck off and make their own theme. You take their thoughts into consideration, maybe give your theme a re-evaluation and see for yourself if those sfx levels should be tweaked.

Wind Waker HD

https://3dsthem.es/2701

BGM: Wind Waker HD - Title Screen
There are some sound effects from various parts of Wind Waker, and the bottom screen is scrolling.

Does anyone know how to make a preview image that looks like it was captured from a 3DS? Just, you know, without a capture card.

Hold Y and press Left D-pad on your 3DS to take a screenshot of the screen from the 3ds. IIRC it just drops an image on the SD that you can edit to your liking and post.

Your theme looks perfect https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-theme-thread.377399/page-185#post-6068589 wonder work you had to do everything especially the animation.

I know that I can't take your reason.

I think nonsense you delete your account because of comments with this let it go do your projects the way you know how to do and move on.

Why Portal2Player wants to eliminate his themes?

His section https://3dsthem.es/?q=userportal2player56 link.
By the fact of having a user complaining the Themes he does direct.

It was really cool these days I can't wait for you to post it here on the site.
I honestly do not know why he put the profanity on the site and the site it's not my fault if the user makes negative comments.

Unfortunately some people don't get it. Me too for some themes such as for Simply Mega Gardevoir FlameSpeedster told me that the picture was grainy and this helped me. I'm not offended I fixed it!
But some people don't understand that.
PS now I'm finishing the theme of Knuckles, Shadow, Chaos and Chao!

You are absolutely right.
