Hacking Coverflow demo (Themes)

[Levitate]

Just another random question.. it's probably a stupid one too but..
Can you use animated .gif files as image backgrounds or other images for the theme?
Or are they not compatible with the Wii?
and if not is there a way I can make animated background images at all or no?

jus try it lol

if it loads YAY if not unlucky

and i really hope Hibern releases a update soon, i love the look of this loader but GX is so more complete feature wise, a homebrew menu or a channel launcher would be amazing if added to this

you can learn to create animated channels here :

http://wadder.net/forums/index.php

they have a very good wiki , and they are very helpful

Oh , and i don't think you can use .gif in the theme of wiiflow , i've never tried but i guess it only supports .png.
Not sure you can do animated background.

Is this still being worked on?

I love the look of this loader, but a new release wouldn't hurt. =P

There is a new release being worked on at present by the author. and it is looking awesome. Should be available for full release within about 1 month.

Any designers of themes should get in touch with Hibernatus, per his request in the main "coverflow demo" thread as the new version has more options and more controls available. Basically you will need to add a page to the modification pages and you might want to mess with some of the other options. The old themes are compatable, but on some pages the default background and text is back.

This should be the first non beta version.

I hope there is also an official forwarder or channel released. I love the Benjay one and spayrosam's animated one. I'd love an amalgamation of these. I currently use the Carbonik one, with a few of the images removed and others relaced. Simply leaving the animated title, scrolling background with covers and light reflection. It is as near to a default matching channel as I could get, with the little knowledge I have of how these are made.

I'd love some sort of tutorial/information on how to work from the actual programming and how to get to the compiled version, instead of simply modifying other people's work via Wadder.

have a look the wiki of wadder.net
here is everything you need to create your own channel from scratch

Men,

Is a new version of this theme planned to be adaped to the new 1.0 version of coverflow ?

I'm trying to modify it manually but i have to say it's quite difficult.

Regards.

Z.

 

[Benjay]

which theme are you talking about ?

 

[zedyxer]

lol, i was talking about the "clean" theme ;-)
in fact, i have worked on it and it is finished at 90%

thank you all !

Z.

 

[Benjay]

don't forget to post it when it's finished

EDIT : some people have requested a new version of my forwarder , with the honeycomb pattern on it , so here it is

It has the same ID than the regular one , so it will overwrite if you install it .

Could you edit with some screen capture? At least some splash image and pattern pic?

Thanks.

^^

Splash screen is still the same.
i've just replaced this :

with this :

not a major update as you can see ^^
oh , and spayrosam has given me his .dol for the forwarder , so it is much faster to load wiiflow than before

Too bad nobody rename the thread title to Wiiflow cause the loader is now renamed to Wiiflow instead of Coverflow ©Apple ==> trial $$$

So all people will know that this thead is about Wiiflow theme !

PS : good job men with your custom theme, it makes the Wiiflow USB loader even better. It's a dream now we have a better, more awesome & configurable GUI that will remain for ever in the Wii history !
