Thread: Attempt to create Alienware Desktop Theme

Trying to create an Alienware Desktop theme. Does anyone have more icons that can be used to skin all the bb icons or know where i can get them?

So far I have a startup menu (needs to be worked up a bit) and a dock.





Anyway feedback would be appreciated on the look.

I don't but there are plenty of theme makers here that might looks great so far :35:

Moved thread to correct forum

I don't know of alienware icons..a search of google should turn up plenty or maybe you could create your own.

The theme looks good so far..keep up the great work.

Thanks. I searched and found some but wanted to see if there were already made full set of icons that people might have used. GIMP is a pain to use! lol

I don't like Gimp, I use adobe PS, much easier in my opinion.

Anything else is better. Lol but Gimp is fee. :-)

I tried looking for some for you. Only ones I could find were "Alienware Invader Iconset". But I couldn't get the torrent to ever connect.

Thanks. I had the same issue. But I did find icons for the invader. Guess I will have to try to change the looks on some. Thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

Let us know how it turns out

So here is the Alienware Desktop - startmenu, sliding dock, and hidden hotspots









Think it needs more work. I created a sliding dock but whenever I start the phone the dock is off until I start another animation, then it corrects itself. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I am also having the same issue after a reboot. The right hidden dock shows open when first booted up. I open the taskbar on the bottom and close it then it resets itself

I left it as is, the animation is working once it is reset. One tiny glitch at startup - I can live with it. lol

This is common across all themes, not just this one. That is why many including myself have instructions to use all animations after install or reboot to "set" the animation. It is not a glitch per se it is just the way plazminc/composer works.

I see. That is good to know. Always wondered why and how to fix it. Thanks.
