Description Image may differ from the actual theme.
"What I loved even more than speed... was WINNING!" -Rainbow Dash

Yet again, a new theme. It's my fifth and it's 20% cooler than all the previous themes. It's Rainbow Dash and I must say, this one turned out really well. This time all of the images were made by GuruGrendo and he did an A-MA-ZING job in creating them.

How on earth did you manage that? ._.
I also notice that the cutie mark repeats itself on the taskbar. This happens to be the first theme on which we noticed that problem so we already went WAY beyond 1920x1080 to cover the most common displays at the time. (I think we doubled those numbers)

Sadly, I deleted all the MLP GC Themes folders I had, so I'm gonna have to disappoint you. We decided back then that we couldn't possibly cover all monitors, so we planned to cover the most common ones instead. That means that people like with cinema screens for monitors are drawing the short straw.

The least I can do is thank you for your interest. If it bothers you too much, I'm afraid you'll have to find another theme or create one yourself (It's not that difficult), since I have stopped doing so.

I can also provide you with a few links I used at the time to help me create my own themes: 

Online Theme creator: www.themebeta.com/chrome-theme…
Theme creation guide: code.google.com/p/chromium/wik…


I believe they changed the websites quite a bit, but they should still prove useful. The theme creator simply mashes together image files, which you provide, into a theme and allows some freedom with colours. It always shows a preview and you can see what you're changing there as well (mouseover makes turns the subject of change into bright red. 

If you hold onto the manifest.json file, you can upload it to the theme creator and edit from there if the need arises.

And lastly, if you need a huge wallpaper, I've got just the thing: julien12826.deviantart.com/art…
You can also use this in your custom theme if you want. Ofc, credit where credit is due would be much appreciated.

I was always sad you never added her CM, ahaha.


But never have I changed the theme in 7 years.

Correction, I actually managed to log in to that account. Remind me after Thursday and I might finally change it.
I don't have the original files anymore but I may be able to pull some photoshop stunts.

Back then we decided the CM wouldn't be visible because of the hip curve, but honestly that was probably more of an excuse to leave it as it is.

You are the true magic in friendship.

I'll give you another shout then.

Do you still do any other work since your escape from browser wallpapers? Some horse doodles you dont upload?

Julien12826 In reply to FirestormDangerDash [2018-06-14 19:24:09 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, to be honest I'm afraid not. Pretty much anything I make I'll upload, but it's mostly anime fanart or originals.
Haven't done anything MLP related since season 2 or so? The closest thing you might get from me at this point is Uma Musume fanart.

I still love MLP, but I just love other things more I guess. Maybe if I continue the show again I might make some fanart for MLP as well.
For the foreseeable future, I won't be making anything MLP related anytime soon. Again, Uma Musume fanart would be the closest possible thing.

Thats fair. Season 3-5 seemed a bit rough (but still some gooder dark episodes) personally but 7 and up got more interesting writing.

Im only ever sad when people treat the show as a fad and just count themselves as done when the internet stopped making a stink about a cool pony show.

Also close enough to remind tou about the CM ponytheme update?

Turns out to be quite a hassle to fix it without the original files. If I'm gonna fix it it'd have to be from scratch.

Ah well, was worth a shot.


But if you DO attempt it, go make the veteran Dash from the Sombra war timeline arc.

Tbh, I don't even know if I can find the login for the PonyThemes account at this point. Been way too long.

I'm happy to hear you still use it in spite of the missing cutie mark and I'm sorry that I never corrected it.

How do I upload the manifest.json to the theme creator? I do have your rainbow dash theme installed and I could pull up the files...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Julien12826 In reply to EndenDragon [2015-07-09 05:18:53 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... They may have removed that feature. I used to be able to upload either a .zip file or .json in the last panel so I could edit my themes. If I read what the manifest.json does now, you may need the whole .zip folder (including the manifest.json) to actually upload the whole theme to the theme creator. Maybe the upload button, the one with the floppy disk+up arrow, can help you with that. They changed it so you need to log in now. I'm afraid I can't help you beyond this, because this is all new to me as well.

i managed to get it, but when i open a new tab in google chrome, it doesnt show everything in list form like in your pick, instead the google search bar is blocking dashie's face!

how fix?

Julien12826 In reply to otaku4242 [2014-08-17 02:35:08 +0000 UTC]

Sadly, this was only possible in an older version of Google Chrome. The newer version forces a google search bar and a recent tabs area upon you. They also moved the "Made by" icon to the right side, which is the one thing that annoys me the most (since all the vectors are on the right side).

I'm sorry to say that I have't found a way to fix this.

Well, it's rather simple. It's not a crx to begin with. The download is an immediate install, so once downloaded you have to theme installed and ready for use.

It's the angle. You're looking at the inner side of the leg.

gyrofluff In reply to Julien12826 [2012-12-31 08:22:12 +0000 UTC]

her left leg is turned so the inner side faces out?

if I may shouldn't it show like here?

Julien12826 In reply to gyrofluff [2013-01-07 15:57:35 +0000 UTC]

Well, that certainly looks better than our attempts. At some point we had to conclude it was the inner leg, but when I look at this I gotta agree with ye. Maybe I'll fix it at some point.

Julien12826 In reply to BronyXceed [2012-10-06 19:34:46 +0000 UTC]

Depending on the background most of my themes fit from 1280x720 to 1980x1080 with the exception of Luna and Daring Do, of which the latter has a downloadable sizes set in the description. It's still up to testing whether is actually fits or not, but you can always "undo" right after installation.

Julien12826 In reply to JJ3001 [2012-02-22 22:02:31 +0000 UTC]

No, it wasn't in the screencap we made so it won't be in here.
Plus, I tried adding it once. I couldn't seem to make it look right, so we decided on leaving it as it is.

To compensate for what you can' t see there, I suggest you take a look in at the toolbar

Hmm, sry. I can't accept such requests atm.

But, I know and he is a better artist than I am when it comes to drawing stuff and I'm pretty sure he's willing to take requests.
If it's vectors I suggest you go to again, although he usually traces only.

Julien12826 In reply to Tibs-Yun [2012-01-29 23:12:28 +0000 UTC]

Chrome webstore was updated. There's a blue button on the top right called "Choose Theme", you need that one. If that doesn't work I can send you the zip and instructions to manually install it.

And people won't notice it's a pony theme from a distance. And when they get closer and find out it's too late so they've already concluded they are looking at a blue, rainbow maned pegasus

Glad you like it ;3

I may be an idiot, but how do you get the Chrome layout that you have, with links instead of the big boxes? They are ruining the picture
For whatever reason I can't find any "How to" on this..
Looks good though, using it anyways
