Some comments about your themes :
- please edit the comments in theme.properties with your own name and theme name
- try to experiment a bit with the color RGB values, see other themes for examples
- while your themes look good in a small or medium sized window and fullscreen on your display resolution, they are not optimal for larger resolutions, maybe try to work more around this

Thanks!

HI

"The themes i create, are optimized to run in a window of 1340x750. My laptop is 1440x900 and i prefer to play the game in a window, so it is optimized this way."

To create themes that run well in windowed mode and full screen or resized window, i must create a "player" and "hand" zone using tile textures and don't create borders. Personally i don't like that, and i usually don't create things that i don't like to see for myself...

But I think you can turn that problem around. The solution is not to resize the player and opponent object when in full screen, or at least put that option available if people have problems with my themes. I can also try to use the logo as an independent image...

It's hard to create a theme that can play well in small, big windows and full screen. There are more than a dozen themes in Mgarena, so people can chose the best for their gaming experience:)

Just wanted to give a few hints.
Totally agree that you create themes in first place for yourself.
Thanks again for sharing them!
