Special Project : Multi-fandom mood theme

May 16, 2009 22:35

For a while now, I've had an idea I've wanted to try. Because stop_plagiarism is multifandom, I'd like to create a multi-fandom moodtheme for it (and available to others who would like such a moodtheme). For example, "calm" might be a image of Spock, "mischievous" might be George and Fred Weasley, "horny" might be Lorne, etc. (I'm looking forward to the ideas ( Read more... )

Offhand, were you thinking people would submit the caps and then you'd create the actual mood icons? If people are going to submit a completed mood icon to you, you might want to specify size, so they'll be uniform.

Ideally, completed mood icon(s), though I should be able to crop and shrink caps to the right size if needed.

And good call with the specific size thing. starry_diadem was suggesting 80x60 pixels is standard. Does that sound workable?

I have a set of original series Battlestar Galactica moods that you can have. As soon as I get home I'll send you a link - I'm currently at the parents and don't have access. They are all 80 x 60 pixels, which I think is the standard size for moods.

If you go to crackified's profile and look at the links there, you'll find a complete set of instructions on how to compile and load mood themes. This is very easy to follow - just take it slow!

Thank you for BSG addition, I look forward to that. And then thank you for the Crackified link. It looks like it'll be helpful to this moodtheme newbie.

Crushed?
Horny?
Hot?
Geeky?

Yes, the first three are all Farscape, so probably only one from those. It depends on what people think...

And I can definitely whip those into pretty 80x60 images. :)

I like the "geeky" suggestion!

Those are great! I particularly like the Crushed one, though the Horny with the teeth is pretty compelling as well. And Geeky is so perfect!

Thank you!

So I threw together crushed, horny, and geeky.
