If I missed you, you want additional credit, or you don't want to share - just tell me and I'll adjust to artists' demands.

​

If you share, please share the files too. We work better when working together - collaboration is a celebration!
If you are a YouTuber and are looking to preview themes for your viewers - Please get in contact with me! We are working on a massive theme archive filled with themes from around the web, and we need your help attaching previews to each one! This is a great opportunity to get more views while helping out the scene.

It should work on all resolutions and display options. Major thanks to @akilluminati47 for script support and info page addition. Check out his work!

Many themes can be made compatible for the official version, it is good to see the work.

I made this one from Platinum DB Theme.
I wish I could find more themes, as most links outside psxplace are broken and ps2home is completely unaccessible.

Searching on YouTube you can find many outdated topics, don't forget to ask the authors for permission.

Thank you! I actually have found quite a few packs now and have a rather large selection of themes thanks to your advice of Youtube.
I notice the majority are in Spanish or by Spanish speaking uploaders. "Temas" and "Temes" for themes.
It would be nice to have an archive of them here but I wouldn't know where to start in getting permission for a singular location upload of all these assets. Still very nice to have for my own use.

Generally, the information about each author is in the configuration file and if not, as long as you give them credit, I don't think there will be a complaint, if not gratitude.

I've amassed 1GB roughly of OPL themes from Youtube, PS2-Home, PSX-Place, blogspots, and github.
From what I can tell, this is every "online" theme findable at this time. I need to structure the directories, extract all the zips, and repackage for distribution. Lots of good resources and inspiration all spread out across the web with no real center place to download.
Then there's structuring the BBCode and previews for each theme. Its quite a project. But I believe I at least have all the files or most of what is out there.

You don't need to package them all at once, you can even publish one by one, take your time and your pace.

General compatibility update and quantization for faster loading times and smaller file size.
Slight design alteration to promote upload.
Users may contact me privately for previous revisions if they so choose.

Latest Version in Original post.

@akilluminati47 version differences:
* No BG Animation
* Wider games list
* Designed with HD screen in mind
* OPL/Game Logo at top instead of Centered

Plans to merge:
* OPL/Game Logo at top instead of Centered. OPL Logo appear as no_avail instead.
* Wider games list
* Maybe screen size specific releases - although one size fits all is my main goal for compatibility purposes. I want users to download and be done, rather than multiple variations of the same thing running inconsistently.

Thank you for your additions and input @akilluminati47 - this theme has only just begun!
