Announcing another new style.

The crowd boos and hisses, saying "Quit already!"

An <a href=http://www.swforums.net/forum/index.php?referrerid=1&styleid=23>Episode II</a> style set.

Needs more bad guys in the banner, but Lucas isn't releasing pictures of them yet, so.........

[T'catnoc Terces]

Impressive. Nicely done.

Now, where are the bounty hunter styles, and the smuggler styles, and the Jedi styles (among others missing)? :)

[TheHolo.Net]

Ante up on some material or ideas to use for them and I’ll see what I can do. Smuggler pics are scarce, bounty hunters and Jedi I can probably manage, given time for creativity and such. :p

[Serena Laran]

I like it! :) Although Aurra Sing sort of just jumps out at ya... :) *ducks*

[ReaperFett]

can you make the icon a bit more obvious it is AOTC? Its just Rebel in another colour

[TheHolo.Net]

Material exclusively for AOTC is somewhat lacking, but I made a change to make it stand out more.

[TheHolo.Net]

Kicks the host server for running so pathetically slow today :mad

[TheHolo.Net]

Ahhhhhhh. :D They finally got it fixed.

[Mhalbrecht Dalarsco]

I think I'll stick with Sith.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I like it :) However, lets not get carried away with the styles here...If we end up with a Jar Jar style I think I'll have to hurt someone.

However, an Ewok style....;)

[TheHolo.Net]

An Episode II style just had to come to be, IMO. :p

If you have been using the style since it was created(last night), I'd suggest reloading/refreshing the page. The web release of the "Breathing" trailer provided me with a new image to add to the banner. One of Jango Fett. :D

[Darth Havok]

I dig it man.. Great work..

And I like having all the style choices.. Lots of variaty to choose from.. and well, the same stuff gets old after a while, nice to mix it up every now and again..

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I see him. Verra verra cool Mr. Dot Net.

[Morgan Evanar]

Text. Text text text text text text texttextextextextextexttext.

[Champion of the Force]

The Text themes are better now that we've actually got rid of the images in them and replaced them with ... well text. :)

I still dig my Basic themes though (Light and Dark).

[TheHolo.Net]

**SPOILERS contained in links**

Anyone who would like to see a little more of Jango Fett can have a look at one of these animated gifs I made from the “Breathing” trailer.

The first is for the bandwidth impaired:

<a href=http://thesithempire.clanpages.com/swtrailer/fettani_smaller.gif>Small Jango animation</a> - 904 KB (You get to see it a frame at a time as it loads, then it animates smoothly afterwards.)

Or for those of you who would like to see it in full size and have a connection that can handle it:

<a href=http://thesithempire.clanpages.com/swtrailer/fettani.gif>Large Jango animation</a> - 3.26 MB 640 x 272 :)

If you have a look in the directory, you can see some other stills from the trailer, which are all pretty gentle on the modem and at 640 X 272 resolution.

ego Hey Mr. Net, I'm sensing some favoritism towards the evil people. I just can't accept that.

We have Sith style, Imperial style, but only a Reble style?

I want a Jedi style. I want some earthy tones, some soft blues and browns.

Ensign, make it so!

Er... wrong universe. /ego


Sorry, wasn't trying to be really pushy, faking html tags doesn't seem to work on this board =/

[TheHolo.Net]

A Jedi Style is in the works, but I am making it a large project, which will require entirely new templates and layout. Hopefully by the time I get it all finished, it’ll knock everyone’s socks off. :D I just want to do something different than basing another style on the Star Wars(Default) templates, and it will take some time.

Here is what the main image looks like.

[Lady Vader]

Looks good. :)

[ReaperFett]

peh, no Kyp Durron ;)


I had an idea for a Rebel Pilots one, might give that a shot for y'all

[Dalethria Mal Pannis]

^_^

I likes

[TheHolo.Net]

The Jedi style is up. Its not totally complete, but its semi close. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oooh, I like it! Verra verra nice, Mr. Dot Net. Verra verra nice.

[Taylor Millard]

I agree. Looks nice. Good job, SWFans. Good job.

[TheHolo.Net]

That and it runs choppy unless you have tons of available reqources. I just wanted to see if i could make the large one. 40 frames of animation was a lot to do and I wasn't sure if such a large gif was possible. Now I know. :D

[TheHolo.Net]

The Jedi style is now complete. :)

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

NO it isn't!!!!

Where's my OBI??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry

Ep1 one of course!;)

[imported_Dara Shadowtide]

I'm just amazed with how awesome these style sets look Ogre. I just had to post to say thanks for all your hard work. Everything looks great. :cool

[TheHolo.Net]

Thank you very much. I spent a great deal of time putting them all together and making it so that our posters have a plethora of choices for viewing the forums. I tried to cover varying tastes and preferences. Its good to hear that it is appreciated.

If anyone has any suggestions or notices anything sub par in any of the style sets, please let me know. It has gotten to the point where it is difficult to catch all the little details now that we have 18 separate styles available.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well, I certainly don't appreciate all the hard work that you do around here, Mr. Dot Net. I'm still waiting on the maintenence you promised on the ice cream freezer in my user CP. Geez! What do I have to DO around here to get you to work?!

:p

[TheHolo.Net]

:lol

I was just getting ready to post an announcement to the Upgrade thread about some maintenance I did do to the user control panel. :p Watch for it. :D
