(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Considering how many talented GFX artists are on this site I figured it would be a good idea to post this here. Hopefully some of you will be inspired to make your own Custom Gaia Manager theme(s) and share them on NGU.

Here is a link to a zip file containing a couple files for anyone interested in making themes for Gaia Manager:

In the zip file there is a very basic psd file to give a general idea of the layout of a Gaia Manager theme including positions of the buttons, game window, etc. as well as a mockup of how it should look on the PS3. The positions may not be 100% accurate but they should be extremely close and good enough to use as reference points.

I've also added a few .png images that can be used as a basic template when creating themes as well as one with a transparent background that can be used as a mockup overlay for those that use programs other than photoshop for image editing and can't open .psd files.

A few main things to remember:
1. Gaia themes are made up of 5 images. Their names, dimensions and locations need to be as follows:
/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/ICON0.PNG - 320x176 (XMB icon)
/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/PIC1.PNG - 1920x1080 (XMB Background Image)
/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/USRDIR/BGG.PNG - 1920x1080 (Background in Games View)
/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/USRDIR/BGH.PNG - 1920x1080 (Background in Homebrew View)
/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/USRDIR/HIGHLIGHT.PNG - 1315x49 (selection bar)
2. The file names and extensions must be in capital letters
3. The font colors Gaia Manager uses are white and yellow (as shown in the overlay image) and can't be changed unfortunately.
So keep that in mind if you decide to make a theme.
