Uberlight version 2.1 [3.121/4.0 Git as of 4/10/11]

[flapjack2]

I'll upload an in game video in a little bit.

For which versions of FoFiX is this theme compatible?

[estemshorn]

If I may ask, is there any particular reason so many images are 1x1 pixels, and others are 1 pixel in height?

As Death_au mentioned the one pixel stuff is a problem on Linux-based systems, the image will fail to repeat properly. I would also surmise that even though it does display properly on Windows it would cause the game to do more work by repeating the image however many times to fill the desired location.

all the 1x1 stuff is completely nothing, it's just a blank pixel.

---- EDIT ----

As of r1190, the following files are now optional as per FoFiX issue 638 (if any are missing, hitflames & hitglow will be completely disabled - except for glow.png which is a relatively simple effect):
hitflames1.png
hitflames2.png
hitglow.png
hitglow1.png
hitglow2.png
(also removed these files from UberLight)

when is the new version coming out?

Most of the 1x1 images are there to fill in for required files that will crash FoFiX if missing, but are to be blank or not shown in the theme. Things like the overdrive neck if they are 1x1 will be stretched to fit, as will any resolution really, so a single yellow pixel will mean an entirely yellow overdrive neck.

@estemshorn - The pics in my sig I made myself from scratch. They're commonly known as userbars, and you can find tutorials on how to make them all over the internet, (like [this one] at userbars.org).

there is a lot of stuff being done right now, so its hard to say when another beta will be out. You could always read the wiki and setup python and FOFix required modules so you can reap the benefits of the latest alpha versions.

Talk about light! It's starting to look like tetris

You could try PngOptimizer to make it even smaller. I tried it with the complete theme, but it didn't worked after. I think if you search for all pics that work afterwards it could be even smaller.

[raynebc]

I tried this out and I have to say the songs play pretty smoothly.

[Nerd42]

Can you make an UltraLight or something that's just like Uberlight, only with the rhythm bars left in and the menu options you don't have selected still showing up on the main menu so it's not so confusing??

---- EDIT ----

oh wait ... that was on 3.0 ... i need to try 3.1 first ... ok if I get the same results, THEN i'll ask this question :)

[niko]

Make borders to fretboard cuz its so wierd to play in just black, just like white lines will make it easier anyways

[Nerd42]

yeah and I'd like to be able to see the items that aren't selected on the main menu

[Dared00]

Copy the needed files from other themes or use Megalight.

[estemshorn]

okay, i'm gonna re-add borders and change the main menu text.

---- EDIT ----

okay, it's only 527 kb now..
but, i'm gonna make a version with beatlines and one without them.

---- EDIT ----

woops!

gotta re-upload, the font fies were messed up.. it's actually 563 kb now

How can i change the color of the bass line? It's red, as one of the "buttons", so i can't see it very well.

Only complain i have about the theme, good work, i CAN play the game now
