XMB Monochrome Theme

Guidelines

Palette

• The icons have only one color, pure white (#ffffff).
• No semi transparent parts except for anti-aliasing purpose.

Layout

• The shape should be easily recognizable.
• The shapes should be, when possible, aligned to a 64x64 grid, but exported as 256x256 PNGs, to downscale nicely.
• The shapes should be included in a circle of radius 31px (except when the shape is itself a circle, then we make it smaller), to insure consistent sizes.
• Some special icons have a superelliptic shape with a substracted symbol. They have an associated content icon figuring the same symbol. Symbols should match.

Style

• The border radius are either 1px, or 2px.
• Lines are 2px.
• The level of detail is reduced, we try to represent every button, but we can void representing stickers or color changes.

Export

The PNGs are better exported by the old Inkscape v0.48.5. Later versions causes a premultiplied alpha issue with our mipmaping and blending code.

Theme Font

• This theme uses the M+ P Type-1 Regular typeface by the M+ Fonts Project covered under the Free License.
