hello people of tmw !
during the time I wait comments for my first theme I find the time to start another theme ("oh no ! not another theme, pity !"). this one is more colorfull than the first, you will see Image.
it looks like a classy steam punk theme (= without the dirt and grime you find normally)
here is a screen(don't pay attention of my lack inventory)

as you can see, it's really dark, so I changed lots of text's colors and I don't know how it works on manaplus (should someone tell me).

stop blahbla: here's the zip

also,
Big thanks to Lien that helped me for the window and a lot of other thing Image
and it could be called as thermin theme (shorter and better)

Post scriptum: @4144, there are any header this time Image.


I wish it will have any bugs

The buttons in the menu bar are hard to read, but that doesn't matter much because they will be replaced with icons in the next version anyway.

Hmm, only if someone review my patches about it, as Bjorn seems unavailable to do it atm. It might not be the case until someone else does it.

May be need more contrast colors?
Not all combinations foreground+background colors looks very good. For example:

Here server selection screen with bold font
Image

Social window with normal font
Image

But with bold font may be will looks better.
You forgot some images. Like green circle at last screen or sticky image in minimap.

when a fluffy cries, lawn and grass turn rotten, and healthful trees come stunted.

I think no. With current colors text unreadable. Look to screens what i attached in message before.

You still have to review many things:

- The background image have any source? it was you who did?
- Researched the new features of themes manaplus? The padding and new color options were made ​​to be used.
- Dark backgrounds, must use fonts with colors carefully. (Almost never combine).
- Make several tests, whatever the size and font type and screen the USERS should use.
- About which license is your theme?

Tips:

- Study hard as it works on the themes manaplus;
- Be based layouts, web sites, I use it, and stays good;
- As already mentioned, the header, take good care of it;
- Use your theme, use of truth to see the negative points of it to be corrected;
- Most importantly, instead of making theme after theme, try to improve your (old) theme to be pleasing and accepted.

After taking all possible care, you will see how your level will be improved, of course your theme will be accepted for a future release.
