Working on an Amiga workbench 2.x XMB theme
« on: January 07, 2011, 12:39:07 PM »

Saw the other post about the 1.x workbench theme, and thought i'd make a 2.0 WB theme.

I have most of the icons sorted, just a few left to do, about 7 or so. Then i'll brush them up, possibly get higher quality images. Not at home right now so i don't have WinUAE and i can't copy data to my PSP so i haven't been able to test it yet.

Will post a video when i get it working. :)

EDIT: After trying the theme on my PSP, i saw that the image quality was not acceptable, so i am redoing the images and editing them to be much clearer and less pixelated.

Heres a good tip.

Run WB2 in as high a res as possable.
Best way to achieve this is, running picasso.

This will display it in your native resolution on your monitor.
Then when your editing the pics / icons, you can get them pin sharp as your shrinking them.

This is how I done my PSP themes.

Heres the links to the old themes I made.
OS 3.9
AmigaSYS4
OS 4.0


I may do an OS 4.1 Theme in preperation for when my company release OS4.1 for classic.
Depends if I have time though, the Amiga takes up nearly all my time, even out side work.

Yeah i will try that thanks.

I got most of them done, at the moment they're fairly small as the default Amiga icon is like 48x32 or something, so they go blurry when upscaling them. So i just kept them at their size and then made the areas it didn't cover with transparency, so its about 75% as big as it should be.

Got about 60% of the buttons covered now, but i will probably re-do most.
