[please lock]Firefox Personas/Google Chrome themes contest (ENDED)

Archive: 53 posts


I am starting up a contest for browser themes. Last time I tried it, it didn't go over so well.
However, this time I have a real prize! For each first place, 1000XP plus, for those who have (or getting for a certain upcoming holiday) the PlayStation Move, I have a voucher for Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves! I just got it in an email. For those who don't have it / won't be getting it, I will give a different code, one for an Uncharted 3 PSN avatar. As for second and third, 500XP and 250XP, respectively.
First, though I need two judges. For your help, you get 500 XP each. I need two judges who have BOTH Mozilla Firefox AND Google Chrome. We'll discuss through a private group I'll create in a bit.
Basically, there will be two first place winners, one that has the Move, and one that doesn't. First, we judges test all the entries. We want to make sure they are not too distracting, look professional, etc. Then we will select a group of the top few and ask who has the move. Of those that do, first place gets the code. The best one that doesn't have the Move gets the XP. There is one second place and one third place. The deadline is January 18th, the release date of LBP2. The theme is LBP2. You can incorporate the LBPC logo if you want. It may help your chances, but it's not necessary. Also, 3D always looks good, but again, is not necessary. Judging is over/winners will be announced on February 1st. I will have this thread locked on January 18th and start a new thread for the results.
Also, Judges cannot enter.
Judges :
1.) Super_Dork_42
2.) NinjaLukel (?)
3.) Lgjoka2002

Entrants :
TehUberZac
J_wulfke


Winners :

THIS A US CODE. Sorry.
Also, Once your persona gets approved/chrome theme is up, please give us a link, that will make it get judged faster. Thanks.
This contest is done now.

Sure why not. Now I just need to hear back on final confirmation about ninjalukel, if he wants to be a judge now that I have stipulated that judges can't enter, then the contest begins. By the way, this has now officially become the most successful contest I ever started.2010-12-09 04:37:00

He doesn't have to use it if he doesn't like chrome. But yes, I would prefer if all the judges have both, so we can check across a wider range of hardware whether they work and how they look. If you run multiple operating systems, that would be even better.2010-12-11 04:58:00

I updated the OP again, putting back the XP I had before and adding more.
I want to get rid of these codes and bring about some new browser themes. Is that so much to ask?
Please, we need entrants If we're going to judge anything.

Cool.
Skalio, just open it with chrome. put the files location into the address bar of chrome, and then it asks you if you want to install it.
ex. C:foldersubfolderCraftChrome.crx of course that example is for windows. If you run linux, it would be something like /home/username/folder/CraftChrome.crx

I plan on entering very soon. I'm in my midterms right now and if I have some spare time I'll enter and submit the personas on chrome and firefox. But please do pardon me if I don't find the time.

::Edit::

I have finished my firefox persona already ^^I couldn't focus anyhow but I am a mac user and on the current day there are still no applications to create chrome personas on the os x operating system.

Okay I'll answer your questions.
It's about to be uploaded on the personas site (firefox). It's awaiting approval by the firefox crew.
Under the name of LBP2 ENERGIZED
By J_wulfus (a.k.a. me)

Btw my chrome theme is finished as well but I do warn you, the two themes (firefox and chrome) are NOT related.
Any suggestion how I could get my .crx file to you or anyone else. (I don't own a mediafire or such account)

There may be a problem with one of your prizes. In the email I got the Prehistoric Moves code has an expiration date of the 20th of January 2011 if the one you're giving away has the same date it'll be useless by the time winners are decided.2011-01-04 09:54:00

mine says it will be expired bye January 18th 2011 and i have to agree with him you might have to change the prize if you want this contest to continue or end it a bit early.

Oh, crap. I'll go check.
EDIT : Yeah, it expires on the 18th., so now the contest ends on the 8th, judging ends on the 13th. That will hopefully give enough time for the winner to get the code in time.

listen dude if you don't have a ps3 you can still be in the contest but the only prize you can get is XP sadly without a ps3 you wont be able to win first prize.
what you are suppose to do in the contest is create a theme in FireFox or Google Chrome.
