Hello everyone, it's been a little while since i've written any blogs.

I decided I would write a bit about what the things that kept me busy for a while the past few weeks, it's the usual things websites websites and more websites... (you can't really complain, can you?)

Anyways, here are the things that will be interesting for you guys... it seems that the steamskin and the gui I've released a while ago is quite popular amongst the community and I promised you guys I'd make a dark themed style and well, I'll try to take some time this week to finish everything about it. As of right now, this is only concerning the cs1.6 community. This time around, I'll make a GUI for CSS to complete the whole package... I'll also try to make a new kickass background for every resolution and if I got time, i'll try to make more than just one!

> Todo list:
- CSS GUI Light *new* 60% done
- Wallpaper pack Light *new* (I'll try to make at least 2/3 different for each)
- Wallpaper pack Dark *new*

> What's done:
- Steamskin Light - Preview
- Steamskin Dark - Preview
- CS1.6 GUI Light - Screenshot (TBA)
- CS1.6 GUI Dark - Menu / Background
- CSS GUI Dark - Menu / Background

I guess that's it for now, what i'll try to do is keep releasing new things each 2/3 months so things don't get too old as the time pass by :)


If you got any ideas, things you think would look cool or already released wallpaper that you guys think would be a good inspiration for a fnatic theme one or anything that could be done in a fnatic theme style, feel free to post it here or contact me on this website or even by mail (alba@fnatic.com).


Thank you guys, I hope you're looking forward to all these little goodies!



Over and out,
albee<3



EDIT: I'll try to release a whole "source" pack too containing the PSD the steamskin/GUI and everything so you designers out there can create your own things for your team or whatever you like, I've done some things that help me do things quicker and well, you can just have a look on how i do things (pretty weird I tell ya but... it works so) :D

EDIT2: I've decided to remake the whole steamskin from scratch for both light and dark, it's looking wayyy better already :) I'll post screenshots when i got some more updates!

EDIT3: Things are done quicker than expected, expect screenshots in a few mins!
*ADDED* CS1.6 GUI black screenshots.
*ADDED* Steam skin black preview screenshot.
*ADDED* Steam skin white preview screenshot.
*ADDED* CSS GUI black screenshots.

the GUI background you can notice the "borders" of the logo in the middle, you should try to blend it better with the background. other than that it's all great :)

Everything should be done by tuesday/wednesday, i'm just fixing final bugs atm and finishing some scripting crap... I'll post a news on the mainpage with the linkage to one big pack with everything inside, makes it easier for me :)

So look forward to it (sorry for the delay).

oh :P oki well can you tell me how to install it anyway i am trying to install the 3.0 fnatic cs pack

 

Comment by be alba - 1 yr

Thumbs: 0

well I think I'll release what is done and working for now because the CSS GUIs are not done yet, simply because what i'm doing has never been done before, therefor there's a lot of "figuring out" things to do... and right now i'm still looking for the borders of the menus because when they overlap they're blocks instead of nicely rounded borders... I know it's annoying for you guys so i'll pack the cs1.6 thing for now aswell as the steam skins and keep the css not final stuff done...


So you guys give me like 10minutes and expect a news on the frontpage :)
