[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
So thanks to jdanisevich I have been inspired to create an 8-bit video game tribute theme.

He started me off with his SBG theme Which had the red mage from final fantasy when it was charging. I wanted a TMNT battery charging icon and then made it.

Now I want to take it all the way. A whole theme based on 8-bit video games. All the classics, Pacman, final fantasy, megaman, Zelda, 1942, Super mario, Donkey kong etc.

Its a lot of work because I am custom making every icon and im not as fast or as good as most guys here, but its being worked on.

What I need from you guys here...ideas. The hardest part is deciding what icon to use to replace for each icon on the basic vibrant theme. What to use for battery, rboot icon, doawnload, usb mode etc. I plan to replace as many as I can. I cant promise I will implement all suggestions but it will help me get the ball rolling for ideas. So go through your icons and think what 8-bit video game would be right for it.

Ill give some examples so you guys can post what you think, what you would like to see etc.

Flight mode icon - 1942 airplane

battery charge icon - TMNT fighting

Battery percentage icon - pipe from mario showing percentage

Battery low please charge message- Sparkman from megaman

it will be a while before its ready since like I said I have to custom make each icon and im not that fast or have much time, but it wont be too long. Its a cheesy, geeky theme but when its done I plan to use it permanently :P

So...what do you think....would any of you be interested in it? If so post your ideas and help me out guys :)

Edit:

I attached the icons that are currently in the trigger 1.5 framework (the names of the icons are similar/same from rom to rom and as I will base this theme on jdan's sbg theme, it will be compatible with any rom that that theme is compatible/tested with). This will give you an idea of the available icons I plan to change and if you see any icon and some game icon just feels right there..let me know. If you unzip this and look at all of the available icons to change you will get what i mean.
