New Comic Book Theme!

Thanks @pjft phi figured that I was just curious.

TMNTturtlguy · 10 Oct 2017, 22:50

@ajdshnps yes, @pjft is correct. There are ways documented to do this. I am on my phone so links are that easy. If you are interested let me know. They are advanced scripts and file modification, the current favorites system that @pjft has created is much more user friendly.

I would love that info when you get a moment no rush. Great work by the way. I'm running it on my pi1 it works great. The only thing I don't do is run video snaps on my game selection screens there is too much of a lag. Any chances of making bezels for your theme. @TMNTturtlguy Thanks again

@TMNTturtlguy I'm fairly sure I read that you aren't making any more updates to the ComicBook theme (at least based on requests), but I'm hoping I might make a small request.

Any chance of making system logos for Atari 2600 Hacks and Atari 7800 Hacks (or simply Atari Hacks, if easier)? I would presume this is a relatively simple request, as it should just require adding the Hacks graphic on top of the Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 images, but I fully acknowledge that its only simple if one has graphical skills and abilities... and I have neither!

I think I can otherwise create the collections based on the existing Atari theme templates, but I'm at a loss for getting Atari Hacks to show up correctly.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

@periodiclogic you are correct, and sorry to dissapoint, but I am no longer creating new logos or content. The new features and collections opportunities in emulation station are endless and I had to draw a line somewhere or I would be creating logos and system backgrounds for everyone. I am glad you enjoy the theme and sorry to dissapoint.

Not enough Comic Sans. :P

Looks really good!

Just askin cause I'm nosy.. :) @TMNTturtlguy do you have plans on releasing a new theme or have you hung up your boxing gloves? This was a massive undertaking and a crowing achievement. I'm blown away by it. Will forever be my theme of choice!

TMNTturtlguy · 11 Nov 2017, 13:01

@hansolo77 thanks! I appreciate the kind comments. I have been very busy with work and career advancements as of late and I had to cut back on my all night retropie development. I have a few other theme ideas I have been playing with, but just haven’t had the time. I am still around and checking in on development, but until after the new year I just won’t have time to commit to new ideas and development.

Thanks

@tmntturtlguy glad to hear you're doing well. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future:)

awesome THEME! i love the updates. There are tons of replies and comments on this subject, so I may have missed this, but I changed a couple of things on mine and just thought I'd share them. If anyone wants them, etc.

and

TMNTturtlguy · 14 Nov 2017, 01:28

@anasazi29 nice work! Looks great

dlesko250 · 27 Nov 2017, 21:07

Is there any way to add collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun? I love this Theme. It's the only one I can find with collections for Beat'em Ups, Fighters and Shoot'em Ups.

dlesko250 · 27 Nov 2017, 22:36

Sorry, i saw above that you no longer are creating collections for this Theme. Totally understandable. It wont let me erase the above post so please ignore :)

TMNTturtlguy · 28 Nov 2017, 04:35

@dlesko250 no problem. Glad you enjoy the theme. Sorry for not continuing to create at this time.

dlesko250 · 28 Nov 2017, 20:25

@kdretro Id like to make my own collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun. Is there somewhere that shows how to do it? Any chance you might be able to run me through how you did yours? :)

anasazi29 · 30 Nov 2017, 23:29

@tmntturtlguy better? I have to downgrade the quality to post it on here. its larger normally. I need to upload the PSD file for it somewhere and post the link.

Here ya to. If anyone wants the Photoshop file, they can edit for themselves.

@TMNTturtlguy I really love your theme for my laptop version of ES, any chance you could add in Nintendo 3DS to the list?

TMNTturtlguy · 4 Jan 2018, 21:40

@grizzlema Thanks for the kind words. As posted earlier in the thread, due to fairly recent changes in our family life and my time/availability, and the fact that there are an endless number of system themes that could be created I have made the decision to stop creating new systems/themes. Several months ago @pjft was able to implement some awesome updates that allow users to create their own custom systems and the theme is set up to work with that. I apologize. Good luck and enjoy.

Hi @TMNTturtlguy First of all, thank you for the brilliant theme! I am using it in a cocktail-style table I have made and it looks really good. I would like to make custom collections for "Cocktail Games" and "Vertical Games". I understand I can use some of the collections already in the theme and just replace the "comic.png" with a different logo, could you please tell me what font and size have you used for the other logos? Thanks.

FlightRisk · 17 Feb 2018, 16:02

How do you implement "favorites", "last played", etc.? I see it is added and one thread references a "built in" method and then some other script that I believe lets you hide certain systems. What is the easiest way to add those extra system themes? Is there a step by step?
