Hey everyone! New mod ZZKer here. I've been posting a ton on the Steam version of You Have to Win the Game and have decided to update the themes for the games and Series a bit. I have started by updating the favicons for the two You Have to Win the Game pages and the series page, but was wondering what the favicons should be. Currently, the Steam and non-Steam version are the same, both being the main character. I think they should be different, but not sure exactly what they should be. I made the series the meanie steam emote from Super Win the Game since it appears in both games and is instantly recognizable.

This thread is mostly for ideas on themes for the games, specifically favicon, background, and "Speedrun.com" images (though I think the speedrun.com image is fine). Let me know what you ideas are! I want to hear from the community. :)

I was also thinking of this, but instead I was thinking what the picture could be for the Win The Game page, because now it is just nothing. I was thinking there could be a picture of the main character from SWtG or the main character from YHtWtG with the 16 color graphics on because in SWtG there is no option to make the main character have the other color scheme. Or it could be that ram head thing that ZZKer was talking about. But that is just my idea.

I'll play around with the 16 bit color idea for the Steam version.

(btw, sorry for the late response. I moved and finally got internet on my computer again)

I really have no ideas for what to do for the series theme. :P

Ok, favicons have been updated. I fixed both Steam and non-Steam so that they are closer to the dimensions of the character from screenshots. The non-Steam is the main character using the 4-color layout, while the Steam version's is the main character using the 16-color layout.

I think that it looks a lot nicer than the previous favicons. They also have been edited to be 16x16 pictures, which is suggested in the theme layout page. I kept the black background in the favicon since it's hard to see the detail without it.

Let me know what you think.

So, Speedrun.com has updated how themes work, and now we can set the icon for 1st through 4th place. I don't know if you want to change that, but I think making it gold, silver, and bronze colored bags could be cool. As for 4th place, maybe just a bell. Not really sure.

I think it would be really cool to change those as well, though. Of course, I'm open to anyone's suggestions.

I was going to suggest the win bubble for first place, actually.

Your wish is my command ;)

We could make the 4th place the pirate heart bag, make the second place the gold bag, and make the third place the green bag. You could put different colored bags or switch the bag colors. I think that is a good idea. Do you guys agree?

yeah, that could be cool maybe. I was thinking about gold, silver, and bronze bags to fit more with the way the site themes things, but not exactly sure what the best route is. I could always make a few swatches and we could vote or something on them. Might be the best idea, to be honest.

That sounds good.

I was also thinking on putting the other orbs for the other places, like the wall jump, double jump, and one of the blue/red auras. But not the lose orb as 4th, that would be too harsh. But we would keep the win orb still no matter what

It's been like 10 months and I finally added bags and the pirate heart as 2nd-4th place! The update noone asked for that I decided was cool to do anyway! Get good and maybe you too can have a cool little money bag next to your name :D
