Ok, guys, as you probably know, the themes will be back on ps4 (although it's not clear exactly when it will happen). In any case, that means our hobby will continue and - most importantly - this site will live for a long time. YEAH! 
Of course the site will change its name, and that's the point...
The Admin, Faxtron, Ultra and I were talking about this few days ago, and the Admin said the following domains are ready to be used:
playstation4themes.com
ps4theme.com
ps4themes.net
ps4-themes.net
ps4-themes.org
Ultra and I were in agreement on these domains:
ps4-themes.net
ps4-themes.org
Personally, I had suggested a couple of names:
ps4-theming (ie the "theming scene" on PS4)
ps4themers (as a pun to point out that this will be a "Playstation site for the themers")
Anyway, it goes without saying that any suggestion is welcome, so guys, if you have something in mind... write it all here!

I think PS4-Themes .net or .org would be great

Agree! And I have to say I like the idea you had about grouping different sections for each console!
Anyway, I also think a new name would be nice (to start a new "theming scene era")...

I said I'd be back to make PS4 themes! I didn't think it would take so long for them to be added though. I've already started working on figuring out the dimensions and which icons might be customisable. The UI for the PS4 is all over the place in all honesty. I don't think it will be as smooth sailing as PS3 theme making was.
Hopefully a compiler will be available soon and the new site up and running. It could be many months yet before the first custom PS4 theme is made, unfortunately.

I assume it will be a couple years before we can really dig into it.

@YOGOSAN: Oh maaan, it was 4 years ago... FOUR YEARS 
Yeah, I seem to remember you were talking about your important exams, but I would never thought it would take so long, especially considering that - before disappearing into thin air - several times you said you were going to release some new themes, like the New Vegas one, just to make an example (I still have the preview image you made back then)

I also nearly finished a Need for Speed theme which I don't think I showed ye guys. About 90% of the way through it I just decided I was finished making themes for the PS3. Hard to explain, but I was making PS3 themes for around 5 years so think I earned a break!
The NFS theme would have looked sometrhing like this --> http://postimg.org/image/bct4w2bvt/

Yep, I think you're right. But at least we got plenty of practice with PS3 themes. I actually preferred the UI of the PS3 XMB alot more than the PS4 UI. Hopefully music and video playing capabilities will be added soon, because currently I'm guessing there are at most around 20 icons to design which isn't alot. The icons are the most fun part for me.
On the plus side, the main icons for the PS4 menu are quite large, around 352x352 pixels. You make some bad-ass icons with that much space compared to the 128x128 pixel icons for the PS3.

Yooo Yogosan, I REALLY like what you did with the NFS theme. If you don't mind I would love to finish it. Maybe make it dynamic too

@YOGOSAN - Uh, 5 years making themes and 4 years for a break: hmm, it seems right... LOL!
What about the exams, anyway???
Yep, 352x352 is a great (literally) size to make icons: but I also think they might be a little too intrusive, that way... ah well, I guess we just have to wait and see
By the way, that NFS background is awesome! 
@ULTRA - You should take a look at all the other themes...

Yeah, but those themes are finished and available for people's enjoyment. Yogosan has a hidden gem there that needs to be brought to light

What format would you like to receive the icons and wallpapers in? I typically save mine in a special Fireworks PNG format, I doubt that is much good to you.

I use Photoshop and Flash. I suppose a typical PNG format would do just fine

I can save them as .PSD files in Fireworks, but I think they lose certain filters which photoshop doesn't recognise. So I guess the best thing would be to save flattened images which you can easily add to. This might take a while though as I'm a little busy right now. Perhaps sometime during the weekend I can send everything to you. I might even finish off the rest of the icons.

AWESOME
If it's not too much trouble send the flattened images and the PSD

Ok, I was gonna try to finish off the icons but as you've probably noticed, if I keep going at my current rate they won't be done until next year! So I'll have everything sent over to you very soon I hope.
