So here are my favourite Skins at the Moment

A quick little reference pic for making skins for uLE...

I based it upon the title and status bars in Skin-a.jpeg by Ps2Dragon... (which is a very nice skin...)

This should help in making the skin if your wanting the boxes on there... I'm going to take a crack at a few.

Thanks zabolyx!

Ok, I've decided to use this post as my main post. I will update it whenever I add or change something. Here you will find the newest version of my uLaunchELF Template, and the uLE skins I've created. The reason for having both NTSC and PAL versions is explained here. If you want any modifications done to my skins to better suit what you want, please let me know, and I'll do my best to fix it for you (ex: change the colors, add something, etc).

2006-05-19 Update:

I created a Skin Template Readme that explains how to create your own custom skins in uLE. Click here to download. You can also find it in my signature.

2006-04-16 Update:

Skins have been moved over to spedmetal's uLE gallery here. My uLE skins will sill be here, but all new skins will now be posted over in the gallery instead. Soon I will upload the templates there as well.

2006-04-11 Update:

Uploaded my new skin titled "Classic", which contains two separate versions. The "classic1" skin just has the controller visible (for simplicity), and "classic2" has the Controller with accessories compatible with uLaunchELF (see preview). Both versions are included in the classic_640x480.zip attachment below. I think this is currently my best uLE skin so far.
NOTE: I was waiting for someone to test the PAL version of my "classic1" skin first, but I'm too impatient and decided to release it now. If there are any alignment or display problems with these skins, please let me know, although I'm pretty sure there isn't.
With uLaunchELF v3.60, you can now set Menus to have filled backgrounds with the "Popups Opaque: ON" option under "SCREEN SETTINGS". This fixes the issue with my "Jellies" skin colors clashing with the Virtual Keyboard text, thanks dlanor!

2008-10-01 Update:

I made a minor edit to my classic skin uLE-classic_skins_640x480.zip in the "classic2 - with accessories" folder, by adding a drop shadow on all accessories so it's more consistant. I know it's probably irrelevant to most people and probably unnoticeable, but this minor detail was bugging me, so I decided to change it.
Since spedmetal's allps2skins gallery is no longer online, any updates I make to my uLE skins will be here.

NOTE: all my Skins from now on will only be compatible with uLE v3.58 and above. If for some reason you want the older version of my skins or template compatible with uLE v3.52 to v3.57, then just PM me and ask. Check the "change_history.txt" file for previous update info.

Hope you enjoy my updated skins and templates!

thanks for the templates ps2dragon & zabolyx; these skins are the same only skin-uule3.jpg has no templates and skin-uule4.jpg does, nothing to fancy

edit slightly modified skin-uule4.jpg.

This is my uLe skin. It's very simple!

**SJCarl** · 03-29-2006,10:45 AM

Here's a nice and simple / small one I threw together last night. It's just a gradient from dark gray / blue to black at the bottom. Also, I figured since it's going to be drawn at 512x240 anyway, I'd just make it that size to begin with (to save space).

**zabolyx** · 03-29-2006,06:10 PM

I've noticed on my NTSC unit that the bottom of the 640x480 image is cut off... so the credits to the makers of the images are not visible on uLE.... sorry guys... but it is there...

a couple... for ya... wish I had made the images... thought about using one image that I did make though..... maybe later...

Now Magma and Jacks are from a great group in the UK that have several PSP wallpapers.. in fact both of those are converted from those....

Also I've noticed that the darker the image weither from a dark pic or from overlaying the darker box in the middle.... the image in general looks better on the TV screen... and the words are easier to read....

your skins are really nice zabolyx. your "branding" detracts from them though..
