Dude...you are getting really good at this! The only critique I would give, and it seems like I say this alot, is make the video a little bigger. You might even want to try rotating it a smidge CCW but probably looks better straight like you have it. Cannot wait to check this out and I am really happy people are starting to make themes for trackball games since I am in the planning stages of building a dedicated trackball bartop.

Excellent... My friends and I play that a lot too. Looks good! Next up Shuffle Shot???

i tried rotating and making the video, but it messes up the Green look.... ill upload it so you can try it out, and if you dont have access yet to downloads, you can get it at the gmail account in the first post...

I really think you need to make the video bigger and move it up, your trying to show off the background which in my opinion is a bad idea because your sacrificing game preview over background which it should be the other way around. I think of the background as more of a filler and not the focus of a theme. Besides that this theme looks real good.

[scrapple]

well, the background is actually part of the theme in a way, as the ball drops from the sky onto the green....near the hole

[BadBoyBill]

Just a recommendation, it justs looks a little off that way. 1 second of ball dropping from the sky or 30 seconds of bigger video and in a better spot. if I had a choice I'd choose the later.
One idea that might be cool is to have logo come in from the left with no ball on the tee and have the ball in the logo come from the top of the screen and land on it and make the tee have a little elastic effect when it hits it. That would make up for the animation you want.

I agree with BBB. But here's how I would handle the situation:

Edit the background. Near the bottom of the background the color is the same so simply move the whole image up a bit then fill the bottom with the same color, maybe until the trees come halfway through the logo, this way the logo still seems to follow the tree line. This would give you that little bit of room to make the video larger. This is just a thought, and if I find the time when I'm off work maybe I'll play with it a bit to see what I can come up with.

Thanks for the theme. I love these games and wish they could throw the newer versions out there

[scrapple]

ok, took the advice and made the vid bigger and moved the background up..
cheers!
