Title: FreeSpace2 Style IE graphics
Post by: Darkage on September 11, 2002, 04:06:58 pm
I am starting a little project. The project is to make a 3 FreeSpace
Graphic styles.



I want these changes for:


In short a little Theme pack.

I got the tools and programs to make/convert graphic files.

What i want to know, would anyone be interested to actualy to use this stuff. And help me on this project.

After these packs are completed and perfectly working, i want to make more, maby even a site to download more then just SCI-FI themes.
So what do you think of this?

I'll make the boot/shutdown screen optional.

Like i said it wil be optional to install the Boot/shutdown screen
Since you never reboot then there is no reason to install it.

Sounds like a fun idea - one thing in particular I'd like to see is Setekhs "Terran Might" image as a Terran shut-down screen or something.

As for color schemes...

Shivan: Black, Red

Terran: Blue, Grey

Vasudan: Brown, Green

Although no doubt you'll have to be careful balancing them to make sure it's all "usable".

I used to be sooo into themes. I have a zillion Freespace icons, cursors, and sound schemes back home.

Details on changing the login screen can be found here:

Essentially it involves patching the filie logonui.exe with your new boot screen.
