I am using a beautiful animated theme called "Wave of Water" found here:

http://www.mediamax.com/clix2theme/H...of%20Water.zip

What would make this theme perfect would be for the water to be a deep blue. Is this possible to do, and could someone with the know how please try it?

Thanks in advance!

What software would I need to change the shade to a deeper blue. Is it possible at all?

Is the theme moving? Like does the water ripple or something?
If not and you are skilled enough to use photoshop or something along those lines to change the colour I'll try to edit the theme for you.

Yes the theme is moving. It's a real life clip taken under water looking up at a moving surface with rippling sunbeams. At the moment it's like a light swimming pool blue. It needs some type of coloured overlay to make the shade a darker, deeper blue.

I have no idea how to do this myself, but I'd give it a shot if it was possible and knew what software was needed.

If you, or someone has the software and skills to do this, I would be eternally grateful.

This theme is so soothing, I believe it's worth the effort. It reminds me of diving holidays abroad.

Here you go. I changed it to a deeper blue, I hope thats what you wanted. If not let me know and I can change it. I don't have my Clix 2 on me so I'm not sure if it works right or not.

Thanks so much that's awesome! Just two things...

There's a tiny glitch appearing every second. It's a thin light line surrounding the top, bottom, and left hand side of the frame. It appears and disappears each second.

Also if you could go darker still with the blue that would be perfect. If not please keep it as it is. A darker blue would keep night owls like myself from being startled when we switch the Clix on in the dark.

Thanks heaps!

Awesome. I'm glad it works. fixing the line of light problem should be pretty easy and I have no problems giving you a darker blue than what there already is. Here's a couple of links to some different blues, just let me know what one you want.

Here you go, I tested it on my Clix and everything looks to be in order. If you have any problems just let me know and I'll sort them out. Thanks

Thanks again ImJustAClone22.

I'm not sure why this is happening but making it darker has created a blotchy, grainy picture; It seems to have lost picture quality. Dark square blotches are appearing which is really distracting. Also the smooth undulating animation has become rougher. This detracts from the magic of the original.

If making it darker causes animation and picture quality to suffer, then I would be happy to go with your first offering, minus the lines!

Sorry to be a pain my friend, really appreciate what you're doing for me, and I'm sure many others will also enjoy this theme when it's done. Thanks!

You really are a star!

There seems to be a jump in colour shade that makes it look like the clip is skipping. Not sure why it's doing that but it doesn't make for smooth fluid movement.

You've already done so much, please don't go to any more trouble unless you really don't mind.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist with a design background so it doesn't help!

Thanks again...you deserve a medal!
