Great idea!  You're on a roll. ;)  Do you think you could make it for Firefox as well?

I don't know how to for firefox, but the image is included in the zip if you want to make it yourself.

Possibly...  To create a Firefox theme, you need to have a Mozilla account and then a couple of images within specific range of sizes...  Are your images large?  Firefox is different in that your images only show the way they would if you're in a tab, with view in the top and bottom (unless you create a complete theme, which get pretty advanced).  D:

Awesome! :D

My only suggestion is could you make the boarder something darker than silver? Perhaps a dark shade of gray? Personally I'm more used to dark colors, and the bright silver makes the viewspace appear smaller than it really is. Beyond that, nice work. ;)

Yeah, I have no account and no way to test it.. But the image in the zip is 1910 x 1146 so it's about medium size.

Sure thing! I'll do that later today when I'm on my computer.

Also, I found this http://www.omgchrome.com/get-back-old-chrome-new-tab-page/ (http://www.omgchrome.com/get-back-old-chrome-new-tab-page/) if you're like me and don't like the new chrome new-tab pages.

Looks quite good actually. I wonder if it would also work in Opera 18, since it uses Chrome engine? EDIT: Nvm it doesn't work in Opera 18. Anyway I installed it in Chrome. My only suggestion would be to maybe try to reduce the white stuff around text on the keys.

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: ClrDraw on February 03, 2014, 10:43:36 pm

Okay, I remade it to accommodate the suggestions. It will also fit more screen sizes.

That looks really nice—love the honeycomb touch :D

Thanks, I think that's my favorite part :)

Nice, that one looks even better :)

If someone ever makes a green ticalc.org one, he should use a TI-89 instead, to pay tribute to http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/1/15/15975.html ;D

So I wasn't the only one who immediately thought about that overclocked calculator when I saw that theme.

But it does look like a nice theme.

I thought about making a green one, that would look nice! I'll look into that later. I'd never seen that picture before though... I wonder if they used the same photoshop filter.

keep up the great work!

Perhaps if that Photoshop filter existed in 1999 :P

Haha, lol.

I'm making a new theme now but this time I'm going to make the background a collage of screenshots. So if you have any worthy screenshots (ti 83 and 84 only), please put a link here  ;D

Hm, there are quite some in the banner.

Post by: ClrDraw on February 08, 2014, 09:45:05 am

I saw an image on omnimaga once and that inspired my to do this. But its not the current bannner, and I can't find the image now :/

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: Joshuasm32 on February 08, 2014, 02:58:59 pm

I have created an Omnimaga theme for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/omnimaga/).
The two image dimensions must be exactly 3000x200 and 3000x100 for themes, so I did the best I could do using the sites current background image.  I have to admit - it actually looks pretty cool!  Included is a screenshot of it in my browser, then with all toolbars enabled.
If you have a Mozilla account, please leave a good review!

Trying out the Firefox Persona; it's good except for the grey elements clashing the the blue. I'll see if I adjust, though.

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: Joshuasm32 on February 08, 2014, 09:29:46 pm

I'm not sure what you mean...  What grey elements?

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: bb010g on February 08, 2014, 11:45:23 pm

Running on Linux, so my GUI is slightly different.

Spoiler For the screenshot:

Post by: Joshuasm32 on February 09, 2014, 01:12:26 pm

Hmm...  How exactly would I fix that?

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: bb010g on February 09, 2014, 01:58:16 pm

I don't know... Just saying. I seem to be adjusting some, so it may not be a problem.

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 09, 2014, 05:29:30 pm

Wow that actually looks pretty cool, but again in my case this wouldn't change much, since I have my Windows 7 bars set to the same blue as Omnimaga and my wallpaper has pictures of some of my music albums, two of which uses elements from the Omnimaga background. :P

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: ClrDraw on February 09, 2014, 09:47:33 pm

I just finished an epic theme!!!!!  ;D I tried to include as much work from the entire community as I could.

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: Joshuasm32 on February 09, 2014, 10:58:33 pm

O.o That is incredible.  Awesome job!  ;D(http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/default/images/gpbp_arrow_up.gif)  Do you think you could put in one BASIC game with your next edition?  ;)  It's difficult to do anything like that in another browser.  However, Opera might have a shot...  What would look really cool is if you created another layer in Photoshop with about 60% opacity and used the current background image, so that the entire style is tinted with it.  Again, nice work.

Title: Re: Chrome Omnimaga Theme!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 09, 2014, 11:11:50 pm

That one is pretty nice indeed. :D

Thanks  ;D

I sure could. Which ones do you have in mind? And anybody with a suggestion for games for me to include, just put the link here  :) they just have to have good graphics that stand out.

I like that idea, I'm gonna do it!
