I'm getting ready to do a new skin. But before I start I wanted to fine out what most us us like. Do you like large Icons? etc... anything you can think of you would like to have in a skin.

I really like the first one I did, but I have ideas for about 10 more different skins.

My first skin is here: http://www.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,52,1019
 
Naked women! Lots of hot, nude girls. :blink:

J/K pornography is a horibble explotation of the female form; who would want a theme like that :unsure: .

I think a theme based on the computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey would be cool.

Oh man, The Hal9000. That is a great idea.

Vivid colours. I'd like a real 'psychadelic' skin myself. :)

I'm no artist, or i'd try it myself, but that's what i'd like to see. Somthing like Jeff Minter's insane visual lightshow crap for the Jag and Nuon with snifty icons in it.
 
Was wondering about a tron-themed one - although preferably more themed on the Tron world, as opposed to the movie itself (I can't stant skins that simply have a shot from a film in the background for each, with the possible exception of the Python theme - and that seems to tend towards the cartooney bits).

Another idea, although not one I'd be amazingly after, might be to theme a skin on the star-trek Lcars interface system.

Or a skin that blended into the casing and appeared as though the buttons on the screen would be there even if the unit was off. Pretty hard though with a backlit screen lol.
 
go on, someone do a BLING theme.

burberry background.

gold and silver icons

I was dicking around, creating a theme and I seem to have made a mess of my unit, bits of the interface overwrite each other and I don't seem to be able to view any of the files on my sd card... Damn.

So guys, be carefull. :D

I agree. I like the Hal9000 and tron ideas so far. But a I could do a nice psychadelic one.

I think a skin based on stepp's icon would do for me...

Also, I would like to say "Holy crap Tobriand, I cant believe you actually know the name of the Star Trek OS".
 
somebody should improve and redo my skin! its got alot of random and psycadellic backgrounds and mediocre icons
 
I like the Hal9000 theme idea. The only other thing I can think of would be a nice simple LCD-ish interface (green). Just a thought
 
Its not hard at all to make your own skins.
just get off ur lazy ass and search some pics, and add titles to em haha.
 
OOO, oooo ... how about a kindergarten-look ... as though a 5-year old child drew up some icons & backgrounds and ....

... hmmm, gives me an idea ...
