I found the Spencer Estate theme to be kind of half-assed in a way. I actually liked the Kijuju theme and had it as my theme for the entire year RE5 has been out, only changed it to spencer estate when it came out. My problem with the spencer estate is that the background feels odd in a way and the floor is the generic xbox dashboard floor. There's no reason why they couldn't put a textured floor in like most premium themes do. They could have put in the mansion tiled floor or even a red carpet or something but they just left it the default black luminated floor and it looks really out of place with the rest of the theme and kind of annoys me. It makes the mansion hall background look like just that, a background picture rather than an immersive theme like the premium themes are supposed to. Complain all you want about the Kijuju theme but at least it implimented the background into the foreground to make it feel like a solid area not just a background image.

I mean it's an ok theme and all and I plan to keep it on and all but I think most of you are letting your nostalgia get your better judgement in giving it overt praise that it doesn't entirely deserve. It definately is a lazy and flawed theme even if it does cater to old school RE fans with nostalgia.

I find it odd about the floor too. The theme actually has the mansion's floor but is quickly replaced with the defult grey once your account finishes loggin in.

It only has the floor because that's the background. Once the actual overlayed friends list etc. is put over it, there's no foreground image to compensate. So alls you were seeing before that was the full background. There never was a foreground mansion floor, just that dreadful default grey. As I said, lazy creation.
