Switch Theme

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.

@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.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this?

add sounds to your theme

The only sound that works is scrolling and game launching, but i'll add them soon

@lilbud I mean the default text that appears in ES and says A accept, B back Y favorite etc

Thank you very much friend

That default text is part of the background, if a prompt needs to be added, let me know

@sergioad I added the scroll sound to both variants of the theme. The sounds for going back to the system select as well as a sound to play when a game is launched don't work at all. The scroll sound only works on the gamelist, doesn't work on the carousel.

I think @pjft was looking into the select and back sounds not working at one point, not sure if he ever got those working or not.

@lilbud thanks friend

@lilbud Your theme images in the top post are dead, fyi.

lilbud

@zerojay Updated them with images from the github wiki.

Didn't have any screenshots on hand.

Perfect, thanks.

I appreciate the theme. Thought I would share some extra system icons I created for this theme. Its the least I could do to contribute to the community. All you need to do is drop these in the emulation station switch theme art folder where the other systems images are located on your setup. Rename them whatever matches your custom playlist.

This theme is still available?

I tried the link in the first post, but I have no luck.

Thank you
