Skinning Tutorial for OPLv0.7

The below attachments are for the older versions of OPL, so please visit the Gallery and update your skins for v0.7

The Icons are just different colors of the original ones, so you can use these without a background image and have the wave. With the configuration screen, you can select the color of icons, change the background color (wave color) and the text color to make a custom wave screen.

I can make other colors and some custom icons to add here at a later time.

Bravo Sir!
These look like the beginning of something utterly awesome.
Is is possible to put a picture or custom icon for each game, like a game cover thumbnail?

I don't know how you manage so many projects. You must have a laptop with you at all times or something.

Thanks...

no, its listing is like HDL, but i think Polo35 was experimenting with using different game icons for the original HD Project to display like HDL & ToxicOS do when viewed from the Sony HDD Browser, so its still a possibility.

Cool themes!

I have adapted the code to fit also in PAL mode. It will be available in the next version.

Next version also supports custom theme fonts

[JNABK]

Cool, fonts also help make a nice theme.

I dont know how much the differences will be with the images once PAL mode is implimented, but i just finished 'mapping' the screen for a NTSC template, but there are a few things out of place and over lapping.

Heres a few screen shots i made with the blue boxes showing the overlap of the Icon. I also packaged a template skin so you can see it on screen in your PS2.

I made icons and filled the 64 x 64 area with a 20% opacity red to show where the icon boundries go. So only the 2 boxes in blue need to be moved to fix the overlapping. The top is 20 pixels too low and the bottom is 16 Pixels too high.


This is going to be one awsome app when its done.

I have some trouble with skins, load 1 skin and save, without go out de menu load another and my ps2 freezes.

PS2 75001 freemcboot

Does, anyone have the same problem?

[JNABK]

Yea, i have the same problem. Sometimes when you save, the app freezes, so i just restart the PS2 and it displays what i saved.

Please remember this app is a work in progress and is still under development, so it will take time to smooth out the issues.

You Was faster than me. ;P

Great news.

I have a few suggestions:
- anti aliased font, something like in FMCB.
- in xml values which represent position of scroll bar, menu and distance between icon description and icon.
- no slow down menu when skin is loaded.
