Finished Themes Only - No Other Posts

[sanguine]

This thread contains finished themes only.

Feel free to post theme preview pics and download

Themes built for Firmware 2.53/3.53 will work on any firmware up to 2.59/3.59.

DO NOT
make a post without a theme, i mean NO unfinished themes, NO comments about a theme, NO requests, NO information, nothing if it isn't a finished theme.
A Non-theme post may result in a 48 HOUR BAN.
There is already a thread for further discussion about theming: http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=13664
If you have changed something, you can edit your post.
If you post a thread without a screenshot and another user posts the same skin with a screenshot, the screenshotless post will be deleted - however, credit will be given to the themes creator

This thread should only contain finished themes, so that users can browse through this thread, looking for a theme they like and download it.
They can compare themes easily.

Please let this be a finished theme-thread only and respect the rules ... for the downloaders sake.

Thank you very very much

IMPORTANT:
It's really important that you add the information about the version of the firmware you created your theme for.

New method to make a theme:

You simply need 3 files:
New TGAtoD2, New D2toTGA and New D2Screen

1.: Put D2toTGA and the original D2N_rs.bin into the same folder and execute D2toTGA.
All the pictures the theme contains will appear in the folder.

Edit pictures to change the theme:

- The image size must not be modified, or else your theme won't work.

Here's a tool to help you with the new D2toTGA: 17 PSD files with marks for a good sizing icons.

- The TGA-files have a special alpha layer:
You'll find it in layer menu, under the RGB colors, there is a layer named "Alpha 1".

This layer is for transparency:
White = Full view
Black = Invisible
Grey = Transparency (more or less with the grey level)

- Save the TGA at 32 bit.

2.: After modifying the theme, put TGAtoD2 in the folder where the modified TGAs are located.
Put the D2N_rs.bin in the same folder if it isn't already there.
Now execute TGAtoD2. Your "D2N_rs.bin" should be updated.

3.: Now paste D2screen into the folder your theme file is resting.
Executing D2screen will make 3 screenshots of your current theme.

4.: Say 47 times "thank YOU" to MaxSt, because without him there wouldn't be much theming in here.


New method to transcribe a theme for another firmware:

1 - download here new tools to do it, they have same name than before, but are really easier to use:

- New TGAtoD2

- New D2toTGA

2 - Copy in a folder (folder1) the original "D2N_rs.bin",
and the "D2N_rs.bin" from the theme downloaded in another folder (folder2).

3 - Copy D2toTGA and execute it, in folder 2.
A lot of pictures will be created.

4 - Copy pictures from folder 2 to folder 1 (copy only pictures, do not copy D2N_rs.bin).

5 - Copy TGAtoD2 and execute it in folder 1.

And that's it ! Now you have just to copy the changed "D2N_rs.bin" from folder 1 to the D2 root, and restart it !

(MaxSt had a published a new D2Screen too, to have a preview of the theme.
If you have a changed "D2N_font.bin" in the same folder, it will show the theme with this font)

A special thanks goes out to MaxSt, without his work none of these wonderful tools would be available.
