Frogboy Administrators Posted October 4, 2002 Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2002 Looks like Nintendo Europe has released their Super Mario Sunshine visual style / icon suite. They use WindowBlinds and IconPackager technology to do this. Here's a screenshot: You have to have a Gamecube to get these. I'm not sure if it's only applicable to Nintendo Europe or not. Will do more digging. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/46852-super-mario-sunshine-visual-style/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornz0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 lil to bright for me, but its still a very nice skin. wonder if this could become a trend, id be awesome to see some more professional skins for games like Starcraft Ghost or something more techish.

Yeah, in my copy of Mario Sunshine (released today) there's a Nintendo VIP 24:7 card with a pin numnber on it, I've now got access to the theme, screensaver and players guide. I've also got 455 stars (200 for regging, 5 for the visit and 250 for Mario) :o ;) . Now, lets see if I can grab the gamecube theme... I'm gonna install Windowblinds and this theme on Virtual PC on my Mac, that's a true test of Windowblinds performance skills ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/46852-super-mario-sunshine-visual-style/#findComment-473189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted October 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2002 Ok, Frogboy, I've downloaded the themes, they were in a zip with 3 files, "SuperMarioSunshine.sdtheme", "SuperMarioSunshine800.sdtheme" and "SuperMarioSunshine1280.sdtheme". What are these? Heh. I also regestered my gamecube, I'm up to almost a thousand points now, they can be used to "buy" things from their site such as screensavers for PC and Mac, T-Shirt transfers, Wallpapers etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/46852-super-mario-sunshine-visual-style/#findComment-473229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogboy Administrators Posted October 4, 2002 Author Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2002 Visual style is just a type of skin - GUI type skin. I like the term visual style because it helps distinguish between a MP3 player skin and a complete GUI skin.

Fil Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Aahhh, now come on.. That style is excellent. Exactly what I want to see from a professional skin. If I can get more like that tell me where, and what apps do I need?? As for Mario Sunshine VS, someone must have acidentally hosted that for a few hours inadvertantly allowing people to download it by mistake. Hint, hint. IM me at [email protected] if you have accidentally done this.

Dazzla Veteran Posted October 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2002 These are the wallpapers I have in my "treasure chest" from Nintendo as a gesture of goodwill: I also have the Gamecube and Mario themes as well as something called "Nintendo Desktop Manager" so I guess that controls the themes. Here's a list of the goodies I have by default: http://idisk.mac.com/dazzla/Public/Gamecube.jpg Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/46852-super-mario-sunshine-visual-style/#findComment-473254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathSniper Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Anyone Know how to install these? I already have windowblinds. and winstyles, but these aren't working, they have a different file extention... Thanks :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/46852-super-mario-sunshine-visual-style/#findComment-481785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSniper Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 To Use these just rename the files to .xptheme that will allow you to use them with winstyles without installing the .exe that comes with the themes...
