Hacking Wii Clouds Skin

The clouds threaten my masculinity

Do you have this without the clouds?

clouds, seriously?

 

[dunderhead]

very nice, thanks!

I made an alternative bckgrd_2.bmp

just open up bckgrd_2.bmp in your _system_ folder and paste it over.

this one is just so it makes the reset icon look a bit smoother (looks fine with both the red and green reset icons)
and since I haven't been able to find a good quality version of the reset icon, I just put in my II icon
you only see it in a few places for a second or two

hey guys, heres a new version better suited to the new firmware:

 

[IxthusTiger]

Still has clouds though :\ Can you make a clean one without the clouds? I love your wii theme and channel icons.

Does R4 support animated bmp's. I remember we used those to mod Win 95 startup and log off screens. And don't look at me like that, animated BMPs do exxist, just google for it.

Really liked this idea. When I get time, I'll try to improve it a little bit, OK?

edit: and there's no such thing as animated BMP. Windows animations use to be single bitmaps with all animation steps on one single frame. IE animation, for example, looks like this image...

Nice skin, I was already using it. But Ill throw the new one on for updated firmware.

Amazing re-release, I see you coordinated the font colors and everything else with my moonshell port, a big thanks for that! and you even made the yellow square around icons dissappear. It just looks so damn awesome now o_o

nice job!

Wow, I really like it. I couldn't resist adding an R4 logo above the clouds though ^^ Oh, and could you make a version that doesn't say 'channels', but just games, media and so forth?

Custom theme.ini rocks!

sorry, I think Ive since deleted the photoshop file..

 

[IxthusTiger]

guess I'm stuck with the clouds then...

the skin is still heads and tails above the rest

I could easily get rid of the clouds lol, its an MSpaint job

but I just think without the clouds it'd be pretty boring

 

[Talaria]

Good skin. Probably one of the best so far

Pretty please? If it's boring, how about the DS logo on top, or some kind of wii thing?
