Xero Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Look awesome KoL. I've stayed away from most PS3 themes, but I'm going to have to give this one a go. Looks quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL Veteran Posted July 7, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks everyone :) How about the wallpaper by itself? :D That was a quick wallpaper I made tonight for the theme. I think I'm going to make a better one and release it in the next days. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted July 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2008 KoL: how do you do that "swoosh" effect in Photoshop? I've always wanted to make some wallpapers and some simple background stuff for use in web designs, but I don't know exactly... what tool to use. That theme looks really nice, if I ever do get my PS3, I'll have to give it a try :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still learning how to do it but I use gradients, transform > warp, disort > wave filter, gaussian blur, erase tool are some of the tools and filters I used. PSDTUTS.com have some tutorials about wave, glow, light effects. I read some of them and they helped me. I don't follow exactly what the tuts say but they helped me to figure out how to make it. These are some of the tutorials. They are not the same thing I made but they can help you. I read more in other sites but I dont remember where. http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/creat...llpaper-design/ http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/advanced-glow-effects/ http://psdtuts.com/tutorials-effects/creat...d-in-photoshop/ Justtin 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL Veteran Posted July 7, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2008 I updated the PSP theme too. It really sucks that you cant add Skype and LocationFree Player icons :( If a mod can change the title to "[PS3 & PSP Theme] Sfere Black 3" I would really appreciate it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2008 Nice (Y) I won't be using custom PS3 themes till we are allowed to edit the waves though :p I love the waves on the XMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2008 edit the waves??? The animated waves that move! On the PSP we can customize these waves, change their shapes/location, ect. With the PS3 my understanding is you can only use a static wallpaper.

But you can use the waves with themes, just change it in wallpaper section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 ^ Any reason why the waves are white (bright grey) when using a theme? If you disable the theme they are black like normal. Is there a setting in the theme to use the brighter background color? My only problem is that the wallpaper seems to have quite a bit of artifacts when used on my PS3 (color blotches) near the bottom left. I disabled the wallpaper hoping for the default black background with the waves but I get this bright grey one now. I don't want to revert back :( your icons are hella nice, but I can't have a bright background, distracting, I want something dark and subtle.

sn00pie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Xero: It's because KoL's theme sets the XMB colour to silver. Change that to default, its in the same screen as Theme/Wallpaper/Font are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Theme Settings > Color and change the color there. The black waves will only display at night. During the day you will see the Original color or the one you select. In the PC the wallpaper looks fine but on TV doesn't look as good. I'm using it with Brightness setting at -2 and looks good on my TV. If you change the brightness setting it will look better. It would be nice if they allow us to change the brightness setting on the themes too. LMAO @ Audioboxer :rofl: :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoJD Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Looks great.... Hmm, maybe for the sub options (all the options that appear below the MAIN icon, sorry can't really explain it) remove the circle and just have the icon? Just a suggestion... Excellent work nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
