My own TF2 Windows 7 theme (inspired by Vault-tech)

[JumpingHungarian]

I haven't moved on to the wallpaper part of this theme, but I right now I'm using the achievements backgrounds: [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=920892[/url] .
What I need right now are recommendations of what sounds I should use (from TF2 of course) to replace the default windows sounds.
So far I only have the freeze cam zooming in sound (you know the one) for the UAC pop up, and the sound called hologram_stop.wav from the TF2 sound files.

So, if anyone has any ideas on other sounds to use, please post it here.
Don't like the sounds I'm using? Deal with it. OR say what you think would be better.

Yeah, for the error messages, or OOH THIS IS BAD

What are the startup/shutdown ones?

[iradz]

When the windows tune comes on the heavy could sing his song that he sings.

[JumpingHungarian]

Okay, then, I'll start looking for something for the windows error sound, and I don't have anything for startup/shutdown yet.
@iradz I'm not sure what you mean by the windows tune.

[Hakita]

Do want.

[Eight Bit]

Is it coming to be a real theme, or just a different colored superbar with wallpapers cycling?

[DementNeo]

Have you done something nice with the start bar?

[iradz]

I mean like when you log in you get the little chime.

[JumpingHungarian]

Hmm... I seem to have mislead people. I have no experience with actually making a theme. Pretty much I'm just starting with this, first with the sounds.
Maybe once I get farther into this it'll become more of a "real theme", but for this exact moment, right now, I'm just working with sounds.

Which little chime?

Hmm... I can't seem to find the actual taunts. There are sounds that go along with the taunt, such as the medic's glove snap, but no voices.

Ha, nevermind, just found it. Folder was named weird.

What kind of things would you guys want in a Team Fortress 2 theme? I'll take any help I can get with ideas, and I'll try my best to do it. As I type this I'm looking up proper tutorials and whatnot for proper theme making.

[Vault-tech]

oh cool

[Brrandon]

I want funny error messages and funny popups and funny everythings

[fo631]

Shutdown: Well off to visit your mother!

[Zuimzado]

The menu bar should have a mini-heavy shooting.

[Raox]

Critical stop: OH THIS IS BAD!

[Velguador]

In my opinion.
[b]Boot[/b]
The siren at the start of the round
[b]Shutdown[/b]
Mission ends in 10 seconds! (or just cut it to Mission Ends!)
[b]Error[/b]
You fail!
Oooooh this is bad!
[b]Some sort of popup (couldn't you set EMail or something?[/b]
Sorry to pop in unannounced
(I actually set that one to pop up whenever the TF2 website updates their RSS Feed.)

[JumpingHungarian]

For critical error (or whatever it's called) I used the scout saying (something along the lines of) "Uh yeah, this does not look good guys"

At the moment I'm having trouble with learning how to replace the windows start bar icon.

[.Omo]

I was going to say that that icon could be the TF2 logo.

[Vault-tech]

I wish I could have done all this, it looks like it's in better hands now, best of luck buddy

Make recycling bin a syrenge that when filled pops up and has liquid in it and when empty is down with nothing in it.
for the medic.

[Conro101]

Make it so if firewall finds a virus the announcer yell SECRUITY ALERT.

[ddsn]

Fuck now you made me want to get Windows 7.
Oh well time to put all my stuff in a Thumbdrive and get it.

[BlueSaint]

If I remember correctly, Windows 7 has a virtual XP mode and is compatible with anything from XP and Vista.
AKA: Yes, everything will work.

[ddsn]

So is it like, a upgraded version of Vista, or XP?

[BlueSaint]

xp because vista isn't as cool.
:smug:

[ddsn]

Good to know, thanks. :buddy:
