If your using different images for the rep other then the usual stars, just submit them as a new image. It may help to submit the psd as well just in case. The more options i have to work with, the easier it is for me to get it all together.

Im still lookin forward to some great alpha trans PNG images.  Im glad IE7 has support for alpha trans on the png images finally.  I hear ya TS on the internet crap.  My vonage phone has not been working well and the only thing i can think of is my ISP.  I was working fine up until a week or so ago now sometimes i can call out, others it calls and then just sits there blank yet the other person on the other end can hear me, i cant hear nothing sad.gif  Go a head and make a new burnout theme or check the site to see what other themes need to be done.  If you make a new burnout theme, im just going to have both up there most likely because i do like this one now.

soupy_31 - just try to keep the text simple lookin.  I can use pretty much any font if you send me what you used on the image so i can make the gamer name and zone match, but its easier just using a default arial or comic sans (one of my fav's) And like metaldevil stated, make sure you give enough room for me to add the zone info and gamer name.  The burnout one doesnt work well with long names as you can tell on TS's sig.  Also the oblivion theme was hard to do because i didnt have a matching font, and there was hardly any room to put the info in.

Does anyone want to take on the task of making me some bigger stars to go by? Maybe in both black and white.  There are about 21 different images in gif format for the stars, each one has a lil more stars added to it.  I can zip up the default ones and send them so you have an idea. Most of these themes would look better with bigger stars but the default ones are so small and if i resize them on the fly, they look like crap. They just need to each be transparent gif images

The xbox360 theme one is added and is now the default image to come up if we dont have a game theme for the "last game" theme.  Also if you type in a name for a theme that is not there, it pulls up the 360 theme by default.  I tried working on the geometry wars one but just noticed the PRO text is on there on both images, so that needs to be fixed before i add it.

Sorry im adding so many replies lol and i bet its a pain to read through all my crap.  Ive also changed the gamerscore to put a comma in so its easier to read. Its like that for every theme.

Also if i see a theme in the "working on" section for longer then a week, im going to delete the name and re submit it for someone else to work on. Once i finish adding a theme, it will be taken off the "working on" list.

Example gamercard:

Edit: On this card, I think the name should be lined up on the left side just like the text below it. It looks tacky in the center. You should also change the font to Arial. Comic sans doesn't go well with it. The gamescore could also be a little larger. wink.gif

The geometry wars one is just kinda messed sorry bones, if you could re do it or if someone else wants to make one.  Also i had to fix up the PDZ one. Got it to work but i took out the rep.

I found an issue and just fixed it.  It seems that with some of the images it would use the default xbox theme and not the one it was supposed to. That issue should be fully fixed but let me know if you find something weird.  Jesse Jane is done.

I should have a little free time this weekend, so I can try and rework it.  I've been trying to remind myself to save the psd. files, but i sometimes skip that step and don't realize it until after I close Photoshop.

I have the Ghost Recon, NFS and PDZ psd files if you want them.

Sweet! Now I can sport the 360 card. biggrin.gif

The girl's name is Jesse Jane. If you're at work, I wouldn't suggest Googling images of her, if you catch my drift. wink.gif

Anyone can make 'em, pitz. I thought you had a 360, man. unsure.gif Anyway, I'd like to see your Metroid card. smile.gif
I added a link to this thread in my sig to direct people here.

Why is it that when someone says "Don't do this," you always HAVE to?

Ok guys, I've been tinkering with this one for a minute.    I still have to remove the text and stars for the background image of the functional version, but I was wondering how you wanted the star icons?  Just perfect squares?  Can they also be jpgs?  Also, for the text, would it be possible to duplicate the defualt style by overlaying the black text on top of white, but just ever so slightly offset?
