Ive seen a couple themes where the video is really too big, its all a matter of composition. A large video can be OK, but you have to do it right for it to balance the theme. I have a coulple themes with large vids, like the 1942 series but you dont see a tiny plane flying by either.
On this theme it feels like the video is making the theme hard to breathe and pushing the characters outwards. Thats just the feel I get from the original pics especially with it covering a third of the logo. And the border on the video is pretty bright, I would choose a more toned down color to go with the rest of the color scheme of the theme. These are of course just recommendations and your theme so do it however you like.
Anyways so big video or small video, it just depends on the execution in my opinion.

This is just personal taste, Im sure others will like it, but I'm not really feeling the choice of colors for the video overlay, they just dont go with the theme in my opinion a little to bright for somewhat more serious artwork. I tend to do rounded corners on more cartoony or rounded artwork themes, but on a theme like this I'd probably go with square borders. But see what others say, I'm sure they'll wanna grab it soon.

overlay is too neon. sample the colors from your background (red and purple). This way everything will match. Wouldn't mind seeing the logo bigger with the characters overlapping just slightly (on top of logo) but thats minor. The overlay definitely needs to match the rest of the color scheme though.

The colours from the background are red and dark blue,i taken a colour sample with PS put it into HT and its wrong also put into xml and the colours are still wrong,also the logo size is fine that was just small preview snapshot.

I think it's a pretty good looking theme, I would prefer to see the logo bigger though.

logo dimensions are 650x272 seems big enough to me ,and if i make it any bigger it will be behind the art more,dont forget its set to hover moving around, i will upload see wat u think:questionmark:

whats the status plz
whats the status plzIt just takes a little while for us to work the submission queue... We personally test and virus scan each theme and make sure the files are in order, zipped correctly, named correctly and just an overall quality assurance before we approve.
I just personally tested this theme and it looks good and the images are very clean. Consider it approved and added to the downloads.
In the future please just be patient and we'll get to it.
