Limited edition Gold EDGE Kit give-away!

[Brian117]

I just wanted to see what OTHERS thought.

But thank you ^^.

Egonny: The DS's screens are 256x192, I'd hope (and assume) that the skin engine would refuse different size images. (I doubt it would resize them for you any way)

Offtop (sorry): That pop up is from Cema's avatar.

 

[Covarr]

The popup thing isn't happening when I click "add reply". It means that it's not a post on this page, it's somebody's signature/avatar.

edit: Beaten to it...

 

[Brian117]

Cema doesn't even have an avatar.

 

[jabjab]

its cemas avatar causing it - password maybe to see the gif which is disallowed
edit - im slow

 

[gitkua]

^ that's because his avatar won't load, because you have to login first

Wow, the competition looks tough.

Anyway - here's my attempt (v 1.00, may be updated if there are problems)

Don't have the hardware, so no idea if it works.

Download it!

[EDIT] Hmmm, lets put that picture somewhere else (doesn't like displaying from my web hosting)

I am almost finish with my skin, but I think I'll hold off uploading it until next week. The entries so far are quite interesting. This sure will be one tought competition.

 

[Swip]

• Entry previews should be in standard web graphic form (JPG, GIF, PNG etc.). No Flash/Shockwave please.

So we can submit the skins in a PNG format?

If so will you guys be judging them on a computer or are you going to be converting them to bitmaps and then judging them on a DS?

 

[Covarr]

No, the entry needs to be a proper skin, a bunch of BMP files, preferably zip'd together for distribution. The PREVIEW needs to be in standard web graphic form.

[coolalien10]

how have people got the menu icons to have a transparent background as mine always seem to have a white background?

 

[Banger]

Reported to staff though.


Looks like its fixed now

My mistake there...

As they're going to be BMP files will the judges mark them as 24bit or will they convert them to 16 bit which is what they look like on the DS?

Here's a very good example

24bit BMP

16bit BMP

Also - love the aperture science skin, portal's the best game ever.

GBAtemp Gold will not be entered in the competition, though you can still download it here.

 

[sum182]

This is my first attempt, its not the final tho, just a quick question

1) How do you get the icons to be see through so i can still see my background?

You can download it here, tell me if it works:

[omgmog]

So many of the skins being submitted seem to use arbitrary icons for games/media/settings...
