Half-Life 2: Windows XP Theme Pack

[UberSoldat]

I am developing a Theme for windows based upon the HL2 game. I just need to know what people want the layout to look like.
:cheers:

 

[SpuD]

Do a blueish layout, no black or grey, theres too many of those

 

[UberSoldat]

Should I have it where there is sound themes and icon replacements.

 

[SpuD]

Ooo OO oooo! When you click on the start bar, have a crowbar going up and down the left side!

 

[UberSoldat]

Ok. I'll try that out.

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

Er....make sure there's some Lambda logo suff going on... And some orange would be cool.

 

[UberSoldat]

yeah

 

[Stigmata]

the color scheme should be blue/gray or something to that effect. and have the graphics look, for lack of a better word, scientific. also, have a bunch of crowbar-related graphics, too

 

[UberSoldat]

I need a good crowbar pic

[Cedric]

sounds cool, i agree.. stick away from grey/black and go for something with orange.

 

[xXSMGXx]

Be creative on the taskbar..my favorite part heh

 

[simmo]

Is it done yet

 

[gangsuperman]

[Jagermeister]

here you find some wallpaper and 1 login of hl2 for windows xp.
And there are other wallpapers, login, boot and visual style for xp.

 

[UberSoldat]

thats cool. But I am going to try to have a suite of HL2 based themes. By the way, I am working on a HL2 trailer which you should hope to be more professional.

 

[SidewinderX]

Sounds cool!

 

[BaNDiT]

That sounds awesoem. you should make it black and orange. instead of the start button it should be the hl2 logo.

 

[Cedric]

UberSoldat, you have any screenshots or gfx to post up? i wouldn't mind seeing what you have come up with so far

 

[UberSoldat]

Sure. I'll post when I have something complete. Does anyone want to have the theme to be like Planet Half-Life? like an orangy feel.

maybe not exactly the same but using that HL orange colour might be good.

 

[EVIL]

It would be better if you post a work in progress here so we can give you feedback to improve it. trust me.. it really helps.

 

[UberSoldat]

I will post the pics for your feedback on improvements. But I have plentifull of work to do that is other than HL2. So bear with me.

 

[Frost]

I would use grey/silver, blue, and orange colors and make it very usable and visually appealing. Modern, very funtional, nice shadowed areas ect.

 

[BaNDiT]

i think black, orange and grey would lok the best

 

[High Poly]

yeah them colors are great, so what the status on the theme? done already

 

[BWMASTER]

Hey check out my wallpaper for HL2. I think it looks pretty cool compared to other ones.

In the meantime im gonna work on a new one.

Click on the link in my signature :bounce:

 

[bonanzaguy]

orange you fewl!!

 

[UberSoldat]

LOL. I will be finished soon. (I Hope). Hold your horses, HL2 isn't going to be out in a less then 85 days.

 

[Black-Falcon]

Pics man! Must see pics!!

 

[evilian1717]

I think hes bull shitting us. I dont know its just a feeling

 

[Delicious Bass]

I hope it looks good, I think an orange/white color scheme would be kool

 

[UberSoldat]

I have about 8 mods which have a press date. And all of you guys are giving me a headache. I have lots of stress and I need to get some mod work done before I release or finish the THEME. PLZ DON"T PUSH IT!!! If you do, then I won't release the theme. And it will be all to my self. SO PLEASE!!! Dont Push IT!!!!

 

[brettt]

*puts his spade down* Give him some room people.


I apologize for all of this asshatery that I was never invovled with.

You must have a lot going on in your life if youre not able to make a desktop theme in ~2 weeks.

 

[UberSoldat]

Yep. I am busy busy BUSY!!! My brain only functions on one idea or mod for one day. Maybe tommorrow I can work again. You may be surprised.

 

[impakt]

Hehe, I know the feeling
