Skins

[RetroVortex]

I think the Caanoo could do with more themes/skins, and I am especially suprised that there are a lack of console based ones.

Here's a little mockup of a skin I made for myself, (which I think isn't so bad despite my lack of skills).

This one composes of sprites from iconic NES games.

Hopefully (though very doubtfully), GPH could consider intergrating skin customisation into the next firmware update.

Maybe a peice of software that we could use to easily make our own themes on the pc, (where we could drag the menu objects around, resize them ect.)

EDIT: Works quite nicely as a background for GPFCE as well.

EDIT 2: Alternate version with pixellated Caanoo logo.

(I personally think this is better)

Yeah I just downloaded that pack.

Its cool, but lets be honest, most of the skins are color varients.

Its a matter of preference, and I guess the skins don't quite gel for me.

I think its not the main menu, but the secondary part thats annoying.

The fact it can't truly be modded, is whats the most irritating, as most skins I feel don't quite match up with it.

I love the banners, and most of them have been switched, (is there one for Mplayer in there? I didn't find one. at least an orange grey one).

If GamePark allowed us just a bit more customisation options on the interface, then it would have made a hell of a difference.

Having a black Caanoo doesn't help much.

(Needs more black and orange! DAMMIT!!)
