@RetroPieNerd I'll get to that later, I'll be away from my pi for most of the day.

@RetroPieNerd

Repository has been updated with psp. And love should be working now, it was working on my end.

@lilbud

Ok.

@lilbud Question--when I downloaded new themes using the retropie menus, I obviously grabbed the Material Theme, but the Daphne logo looked white-on-white. Is that intentional? Or do I have some issue? Or maybe the repo wasn't updated yet? What am I missing?

[lilbud]

@caver01 I did have some trouble with the daphne logo, Considering it is just pieces. But I updated the repository with the fixed logo.

[caver01]

@lilbud Ok. Cool. I will update. Thanks!

@lilbud said in Material Theme:

I just love material design, like what Google does with Android

It totally looks like a google type thing. Except for the font.

[lilbud]

The font in the gamelists is Roboto, the same used by google for android.

Working on an update for the Material Theme. Is there anything you would like to see added?

[caver01]

@lilbud When I tried it, I noticed that the gamelist artwork (for me, that's primarily arcade game snaps) doesn't always have the correct aspect ratio. A vertical game is stretched to fill the same dimensions as a horizontal game. It would be an improvement if the AR of the image was preserved, and it stretched to fit (not to fill) the available space for that element, centered.

It's a small thing, but since you are asking. . .

By the way, I really like Material Theme for it's simplicity and completeness.

[lilbud]

@caver01 It should be fixed now.

[caver01]

@lilbud Cool! I was just playing with some of the files and noticed <size> vs. <maxSize>. I did a little test with Arcade by changing the size tag to maxSize and that seemed to do the trick. It felt like I was specifying the constrained maximums rather than the dimensions of the image outright. Was I on the right track? I haven't done any theme editing. . . yet!

[lilbud]

That is what I just did to the repository.

[lilbud]

Theme has been updated, Dark background, and gamelist selector matches header and footer

Any chance of adding virtualboy to your theme?

[lilbud]

@pompitousofseth I'll try

[pompitousofseth]

@lilbud thanks! I tried editing the .svg files myself but I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to advanced imaging software. Take your time. No rush.

[lilbud]

@pompitousofseth Done and Done, update from setup script

[pompitousofseth]

@lilbud Thanks again!

Thinking of a redesign of the material theme, got this so far.

If anyone has ideas, let them be heard.
