[Preview] Theme Database - Its Cheefin Again - Mar 31, 2013
So yesterday I decided to create a theme database because I thought it would help me practice. Here is the final product.
Features:
- Add Theme
- Report Theme
- Copy to Clipboard
- Save .vb
Add Theme:
This allows you to add a theme to the Theme Database. Pretty self explanatory.
Report Theme:
You can report a theme to have it removed. These are the report reasons you can choose from.
- Creator of theme and want it removed.
- Theme is a paid theme and should be removed.
- Code does not work.
- Image is broken.
- Other.

I know a lot of Theme Databases have been made before. This was mainly for my own use and my own practice. If you think this would be useful then I will release it. Just post below.

This looks nice, I really like it. A lot of other theme databases don't have the features that you integrated into yours.
Can't wait for a release OP.

It just doesn't have the functionality of other theme databases yet. Although it is a great start and does have a pretty neat layout, I wouldn't release it just yet. Try adding things like tags (so themes can be tagged for example dark, light, red, animation, etc), or maybe more info about the theme, like # of downloads, release date, support url (like the thread url), theme bases (because i know that a lot of themes rely on aeonhack's theme bases), and just stuff like that before you release it.

Yeah I am planning on making a rating feature, search feature, downlaod etc.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm disappointed to see that none of my themes are on there.
I guess I'll have to add them. ;)
I like the idea, but the GUI is very basic for such a good project.

Yeah definitely when I release it feel free to add all of your themes. :P
And I wanted to keep the GUI simple. I might try to advance it a little bit.

Looks pretty good.
Whens a estimated release date?

Soon, most likely in the next few days.
Just need to add a few more things to make it fully functional and practical.

Love the idea. This would be a really nice release. Good work!

It's good to see my themes in there, however, there are so many databases out there, and most of them aren't even used at all. I suggest you simply have the program connect to a online database/text file and read the parts off of there.
Example (In online text file):
Code
THEMENAME :: PREVIEW IMAGE LINK :: CREATOR :: PASTEBIN RAW SOURCE LINKThen the program reads that information and loads it in the program. The same can be done with a database. If someone wants to submit something, just have it go through you first so you can add it.

This is how it works now. It uses PHP to upload a new theme into the online text file. Then it reads the text file and imports it into the listview.

There has been like a lot of these threads very similar to this and they never got released. If you don't release it then I'll make one and actually release it. I don't want to make it now because I don't want to ruin your hard work on the program :)
