Well since first try i made MK theme ,it was kinda bold ,cause i was using 8 bit colors icons ,had too many colors ,now days im investigating alpha channels ,i found how to do it but i don't think the colors i used match good enough with the background,if you could take some time to post some ideas,thanks

I don't know Black blue or what color should i use to match. :neutral:

First try ....



Here they are,i give up,can't do it.Take a look if you want.



The red one is 8 bit,beveled


Link : MK Ermac Black and Red

I share the psd files too...


Soon the new one will come,with more colors,but only the same topmenu.... ^.^

The black looks better bro.

maybe add some effects to them though? its so flat..

i don especially like the volume bar as well but i think ive seen it before so it isn't urs?

How hard would it be to make them seem a bit more 3D?  Sort of a cross between the first ones you did and the second ones?

Yo that's true the first picture is the old theme,but here i posted it without the volume bar,
And the volume aint mine,back in the days i didnt know very well how to do it.

i think black is nice too,also i can't figure it out how to make the icons something like 3d...

the first ones are really rly cool
for the second ones
idk add a bevel or something (i spose ur using photoshop), make it about 50% deep and 1 or 2 pixels i think. maybe a bit of a gradient in the black with like 80% grey in it as well, so it doesn't look so flat

Yes i love my first theme too,but you know they are 8 bit,with no alpha,caused by too many colors,and yes im using photoshop ,will try today and i will update the post when i got something that realy need to be showed.I was just thinking bout the gradient. i will take note.


Edit.
Damm its so hard every time i touch the bevel the colors goes too many.............

Now i got it with 269 colors,damn almost 256.

Wow for now i give up,there is no way,always get too many colors.

Here it is how it looks in 8 bit,red.And 8 bits i can't use black cause it disappear.



And i like it too.
