Pixel Theme

@kneetie Mmm, let's see.

The code for enabling the sound is in the pixel.xml:

Change it to :

<scrollSound>./art/flipper.wav</scrollSound>

But you need to put a flipper.wav into the art folder. Whatever sound you want to use. There is not a sound effect included with the theme right now.

@rookervik thanks i went ahead and did it over again only on the first instance of that line of code i found and it worked!

@rookervik Man, IT IS AMAZING, for me Pixel + old carbon sounds + Pixel Retropie menu icons + Pixel splash screen + Pixel launching images is the way to go, just LOVE it and I can not stop to scream about that

Rookervik

@sergioad I have sort of made a complete package. Haha. I wanted my retropie looking retro. :D

@rookervik Are you going to also be updating pixel-metadata anytime soon? I like the updates but i needs muh metadatas!
I am glad you keep updating this theme, thank you!

Rookervik

@madmodder123 Yeah I'm going to take a little break before I get on metadata. Tho it shouldn't be hard. Hopefully I will just need to edit the pixel.xml for meta data version. We'll see. But I want a small break. Took me 6 hours on Sunday to do all the xmls. Such a drag. Haha.

sergioad

@rookervik Indeed, retro is the way to go my friend :) enjoying it

Hello @Rookervik !
I'm working on fun facts splashscreens and I was using your theme as an example and while trying to parse pixel.xml with xmlstarlet I kept getting and error telling me that that xml was malformed.
Looking into it, I found a couple of comments that have one extra dash -, these ones:

https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel/blob/6488c5426c2ede809d6b3aafeb6e6f78773ce11e/pixel.xml#L202-L203

<!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot --->
<!---<pos>0.686 0.573</pos>--->

and

https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel/blob/6488c5426c2ede809d6b3aafeb6e6f78773ce11e/pixel.xml#L213-L214

<!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot.--->
<!---<pos>0.830 0.567</pos>--->

I removed them and now it's working! :D
Just wanted to let you know, because it might affect other projects using xmlstarlet to parse themes.

@hiulit I think Rook is aware of it:

@meleu @Rookervik whoops, sorry! Should have checked for issues in the repo before :P

Rookervik

@hiulit Yeah I'm aware and I haven't updated the theme on purpose. LOL. Tho if I ever intend to use meleu's awesome splashscreen maker, I might fix it. But the reason I didn't fix it is exactly because of the splash screen maker :D Hahaha

hiulit

@rookervik Why wouldn't you want @meleu 's splashscreen maker to use your theme? :O

meleu

@hiulit Have you ever heard of the Luddite movement? :D

hiulit

@meleu x_D

Rookervik

Ok, starting to work on Pixel with Metadata. (gotta go make me some gamelists so I can even see the crap :P )

Anything you guys want fixed up or changed? Now's the time to ask. I don't use this theme so I don't care how it looks. Haha.

Rookervik

I think it's all working. I don't have gamelists to test. I can make a couple but I didn't move any positions of text.

Videos are in. And I think everything from Pixel-regular. Anyone wanna test it?

Quackwalks

@rookervik The fancy carousal at the bottom is about the only thing I would like to see in the Pixel metadata update. I'm sorry to say, I'm not a fan of the spaced out game list in Pixel. I appreciate your hard work anyway.

Quackwalks

@rookervik Should I be able to update it through updating retropie setup then updating the theme in es-themes? I tried and no update is available.

Rookervik

@quackwalks I was gonna mail it to whoever wanted to test it. Before I send it to the main download and potentially ruin everyones' pixel. LOL

Rookervik

@quackwalks Ah, the spacing was added to make the game selection bar fit in the background. You don't like how the games are spaced further now?
