I remember when I was more active in 2006 to 2010 I would change my sig/avatar every few weeks as I would be obsessed with a series and wanted to experiment with some themes. 2010 to early 2014 I then stop as I keep leaving and coming back to PC. When I decided to be more active late 2014 I got back to changing my theme every couple weeks, haha.

Send me cute castform stocks if you find any please c:

Thankfully Oshawott pics are easier to come by... because that way I have so much avatars to use when stick any of my most iconic themes up. I do suffer fangirl phases from time to time, and that's sometimes reflected in what I have up.

Sylphiel April 8th, 2015 7:45 PM

I am picky with what I use for an avatar so I don't tend to change mine often.

I actually would still have my last one had I not suddenly decided I wanted a braixen and then made one myself, haha.

I wish I could say the same for me.. I'm indecisive and change mine like.. every other time I'm online. lmfao whoops.

Gif avatars are the best avatars.

1. Is it a gif?
2. If it is a gif, does it loop nicely?
3. Do it.

Universe April 8th, 2015 7:56 PM

i get bored with my avatars somewhat easily too. :x the longest i can go is definitely a couple weeks before i need a breath of fresh air on my theme.

also yeah +1, Angie always has nice avatars. :D

Hikamaru April 8th, 2015 7:58 PM

I recall changing some of my themes after only a few hours, but never gonna do that short again. Because after the collab I have my fangirl phases to attend to again.

One of the best GIFs I have ever seen was that Spirited Away GIF...

sup guys
LOL JK bye


Back when I was on my cellular tether I remember savouring the 10 minutes of anticipation while I downloaded that thing

:3

Alexander Nicholi April 8th, 2015 8:15 PM

I have an impeccably high standard and preference with the images I pick. They have to be a high enough res, they can't be watermarked (or at least the cropped portion can't), they have to have a good palette going, the object in the avatar has to send the exact emotions I intend... it's a very complicated thing.

Meeting all of my extensive criterion naturally doesn't happen as often with GIFs. But when it does, and I finally have a GIF I'm happy with, prepare yourself. Because it will be awesome.

Omicron April 8th, 2015 9:35 PM

I succesfully derailed the conversation. muahahaha.

I'm very inconsistent with my avatar/theme routines. I may keep one for months and then change every couple of days between others.

Truth be told, of all my themes, the aradia ones have been my favorites.

Morkula April 8th, 2015 9:44 PM

I'm the type of person that sticks with a theme for a loooooong time when I get one I really like. Part of that is that I flat-out don't feel like changing it, and the other part is that I just don't feel the need to have something new every other day.

A big reason I stuck with the multi-game one I had for so long before my KH2 theme was because it was so broad that it was appropriate for pretty much any time. It had plenty of great games on it and wasn't just restricted to whatever series I was currently playing or whatever single one I wanted to base a theme on.

No there isn't. Try asking in the ROM Hacking forums.

Albeit this is the off-topic forum, unlike some boards we don't take stuff from other sections.

For tilemaps use NTME, and avoid Cyclone (it sucks). Insert with unLZ GBA or NSE 2.X, depending on your preference.

Alexander Nicholi April 8th, 2015 10:54 PM

It's a bit difficult getting a theme together. But if done right, you will catch a lot of people's eye very easily. It's no simple task - there's aesthetic choices, gathering the right sources, planning the CSS, making the CSS, formatting and uploading the images... yeah. I think it's worth it.

Zeffy April 8th, 2015 11:00 PM

I can't even remember the last theme I had that wasn't part of a collab :(

Circuit April 8th, 2015 11:10 PM

I need to really get into making a theme. My problem is that I can't use CSS to save my life. I need to learn and use it often.

moon April 8th, 2015 11:18 PM

I don't plan css, I just type and type and shape it as I go along, haha. Because I don't know enough to plan ahead, I guess.

Learning css: copying the code of others and fiddling around with it until you realize what term does what.

Ice April 8th, 2015 11:39 PM

I decided I don't need a fancy theme. I'll have an avatar, and that's it.

Mystelex April 8th, 2015 11:42 PM

Are there any Tilemap editors here ? ( By Tilemaps , I'm talkin' 'bout Advanced Map Tilemaps ).

This is not the place to talk about ROM hacking. I see you've already found your way to ROM hacking, so I don't have to link you there. I think they are better equipped to help you with your question, haha.

Alexander Nicholi April 8th, 2015 11:50 PM

I take my CSS writing very seriously. It all uses [div][/div] and [span][/span], the code is completely minified, and there are zero line breaks, all of that done with divs and padding.
