Custom Themes, Icons and Start Buttons.

    Hi,

    I've just found this interesting forum looking for some cool start buttons. I saw some nice buttons here but I have some "burning letters" and I want to ask if someone can make a cool start button out of these. I don't know if the square one can be used for a start button. I'm a newbie with graphics and I have to admit that everything I've tried was a disaster...

    Thanks in advance and I hope you will not blame me if my first post is a request.

    I made this just before with some pics from NZ.

    It doesnt have any custom icons (yet) and one if the picture is really bad quality lol, im looking for another one now.

    But I was wondering...how do I add custom icons to a theme?

    First, I know the bmp size is supposed to be 54x54 but how big is the Orb itself supposed to be?

    Reason I ask is I made one but it keeps having a brief flash of the black (transparent?) when hovering / clicking the start orb. Which I've read is because there is some pixels outside the orb part.

    Secondly, How are ya'll getting the pics so clear when shrinking them? I seem to get alot of distortion on mine at times.

    Also, I keep telling it to make background transparent but then after all's said and done it'll be a white background. I've seen other peoples where the background doesn't show up and I've yet to figure out why mine does this. Any ideas?

    Probably have another question but atm I can't remember what it was LoL /sigh

    Oh, I use Photoshop 6.0 for editing/creating.

    I cut the dragons out of it appears your background you put up https://www.sevenforums.com/customiza...tml#post111237 .

    I'm not really an artist and I loved the dragon on the background and the yingyang theme and figured the dragons would look good on a start orb. Put 'em on a black 'n white yingyang. resized the dragon to be all the way inside the orb instead of tail outside. put on a clear piece from one of the clocks to make it "glassy".

    Hope yer not mad


    Attached my .psd of it.


    This was done Sunday. Yesterday I found a tutorial on how to make an orb and was able to put together a blue orb.


    Again, hope I didn't perhaps step over the line by using it.

    No worries mate. I didn't design the dragon, a couple of us colored them long ago and I blended the yinyang and dragon together in my wallpapers. I use it on my profile page.

    Nice Orb btw.

    dunno if u guys missed it or not but i posted a little while back about making me a Dragon Eye Orb

    is it possible to edit the picture of this eye so that it slightly closes (on hover) and closes completly (on Click)?

    if not i suppose it would be cool just to do a color change or something but i like the color it is already.
