[Theme] iGameboy (updated 10/30 - moved to releases)

EDIT 10/30: I added new icons, cleaned up the package a bit, and posted this here in the releases forum.

I guess this thread should be locked now?

if you remove the dpad and the other buttons i would probably use this. in other words, i would just stick with the pixel stuff. the other stuff looks ugly. you should really consider putting this in the WIP section first so you can get some feed back on it.

Wow, that's actually cool, not my style, but still really cool, I mean, the concept is well executed.

I also see you are mexican, buen trabajo paisano.

Spellhouse: I'm not really planning to do any more work on it, it was more of a proof of concept/learning exercise.  But I did finish the the fullscreen version, which is definitely easier to use - I updated the first post with it.

Pelaez: Thanks.  I'm not from Mexico, though, just down here for a little while - I made the theme during the flight down.

TheDarkKnight: If it wasn't ugly, it wouldn't be very accurate - the original Gameboy was an incredibly ugly little bugger (but I loved it anyway): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c … ameboy.jpg

My god you're obnoxious. Try offering constructive feedback, and don't state your opinion like it's fact. smile_blush

The pixel icons are really great, but I still don't think it's very usable. If you took those pixel icons and moved in a more minimalist (black and white) direction this theme could be a huge success, hell I may even do a personal mod for myself later.

That was uncalled for, his sentence made perfect sense. Why's a brother gotta be so harsh?
