MyPS2 skins

[retro]

I think we will see loads of skins poping up for this nice app.
so why not post your skins here?

Heres my first. just the background and the dialog background edited.

I'm trying to do a Windows theme, but there's something wrong with the way the background shows up. The bottom portion of the screen is covered by enlarged icons as you can see in the screen shots. I don't know why it does that. I was wondering if it has something to do with PAL and NTSC conflict. If anybody has experienced similar problems, any help would be appreciated. Other than that, everything else is going pretty good. I still have to change the fonts around a bit but I already have the right type of dialog box, the clock in the corner, and a media player menu - also, when you move to each folder it changes to a folder for pics, files, music, etc. There is HUGE potential for customization for this program, I only hope that we won't have to redo all of this for each future version.

Ok, I'm getting closer. I still have to adjust the fonts, but I fixed the screen problem. I also added a button on the bottom that shows when a song is playing. If you look closely it says "myps2" at the bottom, but I don't know if I can make that any more readable. Also I'd like to have a label for the power off button. I need to come up with other backgrounds for the other screens - settings, pictures, etc. too.

Here is a background I made, partially inspired by retro

Here's the boot background. I want to make the fonts invisible so that this is all you see when it starts up.

Hi,

about your display errors, try to keep the dimensions of your textures powers of two and see if that makes any difference. Also you should try to keep your textures small so that they will fit into the video ram

Here's the media player. I added a clock in the corner and fixed the myps2 logo where the "start" button should be. I'll see if I can put the current time down in the box in the control panel. I'm having troubles with the buttons though. I want a template picture that's always there, then each button to light up when you move to it. I think all the pictures are just appearing at the same time on top of eachother...

Edit: I abandoned the template thing, in favor of the traditional focus, nofocus style but I still get little white lines below the pictures of the buttons. The only button that doesn't have any problems is the loop button, but I did everything the same for each so I don't know why that one shows up fine and the others don't.

Hey, great program, I love the concept. I have a problem though, I can not change the background picture at all. I have succesfully changed many of the icons in the program, but I can't just seem to change the background.

To give more information, all I am doing is taking a background of my choice, saving it to a .png file, and pasting it over the original background you included. I made sure it has the same dimensions and filename as your original background file but all I get is a black screen after it boots.

Any suggestions?

Here's the settings screen. I put the current mp3 time on the button on the bottom and a clock in the corner. This setup will be the template for the other screens (network, harddrive, language, etc.)

here is a ps2 background

here is another version of that in grey, and I added a Lens Flare effect for an extra touch.

Here are the My Pictures and My Files screens.

I'm bored, I need new games..

Here's a picture of the onscreen keyboard and slightly modified media player. It took a while to get the keyboard looking right. I added a volume slider to the media player, but I still can't get the other buttons to show up correctly...it's like there's 2 different settings for the texturefocus and texturenofocus pictures, because they squeeze and expand when I switch between them, however they are all the same dimensions. For some reason, Play and Previous track are fine, and Next track is Ok when you have it highlighted, but the other buttons are messed up even though they all have the same height and width. I'm close to releasing the whole skin pack - I just need to figure this out first.

nice skins

@Fnu Lnu:
if your display mode is NTSC and the skin is PAL (or vice versa) all control coordinate/dimension values are scaled because NTSC and PAL have different display resolutions. If that's not the problem you could try to replace the broken images withthe ones from the default skin. if they work it's probably a problem with the dimensions of your textures

Just thought I would add an early sceenshot of the skin I have currently in development. I only have the main page coming together now, still need to add the shut down button, and working on the others now.

The icons get slightly bigger as you choice them......you will obviously catch onto the them.

Exactly one week after myps2 ver 1.0 was released, I now give you the first skin. Just unzip the rar file and look at the Read Me.

@ internet_floozy: Cool, now we'll have Windows and Mac on the PS2...who wants to create a couple linux themes?

Fnu_Lnu, what time format does your clock use? i've never heard of 27:00
