Adding new emoticons to this forum is not as trivial as simply uploading more images to a folder, and I am currently too busy to worry about that now, sorry.

Great news BassdudeNZ! I hope that I will be the first to download this theme! Thank you very much! :lol:


You are welcome - Do not be reluctant to post a screenshot of a bug please. :D
It is very helpful. 99% of the time just seeing it tells me exactly what I need to change and it is almost always something minor. Thank you.

"SCENERY" theme in the gallery

Additionally, wallpapers, 35 of them, for those who like their desktop wallpaper to change in intervals, also in the gallery in the wallpapers section (Screenshot of one of thirty-five.

The idea is you, the person using it picks the wallpapers YOU want. These are only guides and starting points. cheers

FYI (For your information)

I have updated every theme I have created with the new configuration additions as well as every Music theme disk configuration file with dimension entries. Once I got into the swing of it, the tediousness disappeared into expedition.

I will not be uploading to the gallery until the next official full (non-BETA) update from Jorge. The other reason is that while I have certainly done every theme, I have not done any compression and conversion to xtreme files as yet. That is tedious and time-consuming so I will wait and do ten at a time, because there are a lot of themes to update.

You will know which ones if you have notifications on and if not, the opening line of what the theme is about will have: "Each feature works best with versions 26.9 or higher".

Regards

Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to your updated themes! It takes a lot of work, patience and time! :lol:

I wasn't going to do one based on this Topic because there are a lot of really good themes already out there.
I changed my mind obviously, and instead based it on the "Trekkies" - The Star Trek Fan theme with caricatures so it would be a little different from the rest. I stayed fairly true to the model bases, Enterprise, Excelsior, Titan, Vulcan Cruiser, Bird of Prey, The Borg cube, The casts from: Original, Generations, Voyager, Deep space Nine, Discovery, Strange New worlds, Starfleet Academy and 2001 Trek with a few baddies and full trashcan using Dilithium crystals.
After all, I remember watching this coming home from school many decades ago, so I chose not to ignore that history.

It requires the menu separation so it will be uploaded with the next update.

Trivia - Wasn't happy with the Moon, was thinking that Aliens and villains were as much a part of the Trekkie Universe as an main characters because they made up a large part of the stories. So I made the Zodiac signs from them to satisfy my unfinished feeling and readjusted the moon. will upload on next official update.

Unusual Zodiac signs! Will they change depending on the phase of the moon, as in the Zodiac theme? :lol:

Some tongue in cheek humor in a couple of places as well.

@Greg

You asked a quesdtion about the digital clock display in "Scenery" theme.
I am not understanding the question.

You asked if it should have a single display digit when there is only one?
It is setup to display Hour:Minute:Seconds. So 1 second after 12 midnight in a 24hr clock should display 00:00:01 ? A 12hr clock = 12:00:01
As for the "P" Mine does not display this? Are you asking me to put in AM and PM or is it doing something strange?
