Switch Theme

@lilbud Thats actually really cool-I like the Switch theme, but I find light themes a bit hard on the eyes in my lounge-the darker side has always appealed to me (enter Star Wars reference here lol). What I really need to learn to do is make my own theme, but not a clue where to start-I could just pinch bits of others then to make my own!

Why do you think all of my themes have a dark variant? I start by making the light version, but then realize (usually by playing games late at night) that the light version will slowly make me go blind.

@lilbud no problem at all please do! the tv icon is just an alternative "kodi" icon. I figured if people do not know what Kodi is it might be easier to just show a tv icon.

Here is the link to the files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bza0Ft88hK60YkxqVGNhOWxicG8

I'll be sure to share any other additions I make to your theme as well. I am currently working on a loading screen that looks similar to the loading screen on switch.

I just noticed a small error in both variants.

<!-------------LAST PLAYED--------------->		
		<datetime name="md_lbl_lastplayed">
			<pos>1 1</pos>
		</datetime>
		
		<datetime name="md_lastplayed">
			<pos>1 1</pos>
		</datetime>

Should be:

<!-------------LAST PLAYED--------------->		
		<text name="md_lbl_lastplayed">
			<pos>1 1</pos>
		</text>
		
		<datetime name="md_lastplayed">
			<pos>1 1</pos>
		</datetime>

@ectoone Could you submit a pull request to both versions? I'm kind of busy at the moment

EctoOne

@lilbud Um, I will try. I just got into that whole github thing a few days ago and it took me an hour to figure out how to even upload files.
I have to fork your themes, change the things in my fork and then send the pull request, right?

Edit: I think i've done it, let me know if it was correct.

Okay, first update in a long while. But I have updated the theme with some new features.

Made use of variables in the main theme.xml to remove need for individual system folders.
Cleaned up code
Updated colors to be more accurate to the actual Nintendo Switch menu.

The only game I have is Splatoon 2.

sergioad

@lilbud could you use the ES default imput help and add sounds to your theme? the new ES has an option to turn off UI sounds so it may help users wich hates sounds to not have them and also may help themers to not hash the scroll sounds line

lilbud

@itsnitro I sent a request, but the only game I have now is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I'll probably get Splatoon 2 eventually

A Former User

Alright, I'm not at my switch as of now but I'll accept it when I can.
