Hi Twa

You have to use a resolution from the video info list that best fits your monitor.
Have a read of this post and the links therein to gain more insight.

Hi W.Xueqiang

I'm not 100% sure which theme you mean but I'm guessing you're asking about the picture at the top of the opening post here? In which case that is only a render of the actual Chameleon RC5 default theme from a different angle as I created the devices in a 3D package. Also, that image would be impossible to achieve in Chameleon's GUI as the perspective on each icon is dependent on it's location, where as Chameleon just uses one single image for each icon so regardless of it's location you'll always see the same shape.

But a 3D space GUI would be amazing!!  Who's clever enough to create an OpenGL GUI?  :lol:

However, We can use one view icon.
Because these icons are so beautiful ⋯ ⋯

If I did it, then it would look something like this?



What do you think?

Really?  Damn... I guess this'll be another theme to put on my to do list.   :lol:

I've still got Gringo's idea for a revised 'Space Invaders' theme in the works and that's going back to June '09 !!

You can use a blank font_small.

Thanks, it just looked like the countdown timer depended on the font_small.png
So if it was transparent, the counter would disappear. Not too important for me, but I was wondering.

Well the progressbar should still show up. All other text disappears as well if you make font_small invisible, aside from the console, and the menu text.

I used an invisible font_small in my iCham2 theme. ;-)
