Freestyle Xmb Theme
« on: April 28, 2010, 06:53:00 PM »

Thought I'd share this with everyone here:

http://spiffy360.com/forum/thread-109.htm

Read the forum post for details...

All my own work, gamerpic/score/tag will be displayed when installed on 360, those screens are from XUI Tool (theme editing software)...

If you wanna share this round, please use the above link...

Freestyle Xmb Theme

Looks nice! Good work, would be cool if you got the background to animate like the ps3 one

Also, Gamerscore overlaps the date/time when displayed on console.

Edit: as said on the forum, going to "Favorite Games" freezes the box.
^ all of that said, this is my new favorite theme til 2.0 arrives. thanks for the hard work!

edit2: ps3 xmb videos in hd are plentiful on youtube, could be converted to wmv and inserted via xuitool.

Yeah, had my tdate/time set up as 24/4/2010 17:53 while I was testing and never checked the long format versions, might update at some time (the date+time is on each seperate page, so about 20 instances to alter!), but for now suggest changing you settings (think only the one very long date option doesn't fit, unless you've got some insanely huge gamerscore)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Did try adding the xmb waves video, but it stalled and stuttered when you went between menus, might have another go at some point...

argh
just wanted to try your theme and then my xenon died (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
anyway, other colors would be cool.

PS: a fully animated version for FSD2.0 would be awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you do give it another go, try re-encoding your XMB video to a lower bitrate 360 compatible wmv.

There's a link in the post on spiffy360 to where I got the background from, though it's a little hidden so I'll post direct link here:

http://steel89.deviantart.com/art/XMB-Repl...ck-01-116857918

Just download that pack, rename whichever one you want to background.jpg and overwrite the one in the theme folder...

Work progressing on SVN 215 version, should have video background added soon, animations might take some time (got no idea what I'm doing on that front  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif))...
