Pixel Theme

[Rookervik]

Oi, long time no see. Work sucks.

Yeah I don't use the Github resources or pay any attention to "pull requests." I just created a github for my themes because that's what was required for retropie users to download them onto their pi.

I already fixed the image behind the video problems. I intentionally did not change the XML to fit some of the parsers since that's a quick tool to use my art in other projects.

There haven't been any new systems added to Retropie to my knowledge so I haven't been hanging out in the forums every day to check for any new bugs. I idle around in IRC but my internet connection stability has been so poor lately that I don't want to flood the channel with disconnect/reconnect messages.

Pixel theme should already have recent/faves/all. I should have some screenshots up above.

It's possible I forgot to update on github. I'll see about it later.

@rookervik whoa... that's new, this looks like a completely new theme!

[Rookervik]

@felleg

Nah I just moved the carousel down like I wanted to do for years. And moved the art up so you could actually see it. The theme should have looked like this for months.

[Rookervik]

And I don't even use regular pixel anymore. Haha. I've been using Pixel 2 for months. Love the big box art.

Don't fully like the system select yet so I haven't released it. Making some edits... slowly.

Probably change it more like original pixel on the background part. But I have made so many changes over the months that I haven't bothered posting them.

Then there's the whole updating all the consoles to 16 bit graphics instead of 8-bit. That's going to take forever and I'm not looking forward to it. Haha.

So when is this pixel 2 coming out?

[MajorDangerNine]

@rookervik Looking forward to Pixel 2.

If you have the time, would it be possible to have non-color Neo Geo Pocket and WonderSwan pixel art in Pixel 2 instead of their Color variants being reused like in Pixel. I'd be happy with just the color being altered to a mix of black and grey for Neo Geo Pocket and mix of black and white for WonderSwan, with nothing else changed; that grill pattern on the Neo Geo Pocket for example doesn't even seem possible to me for this art style.

Anyway, thanks again for the awesome Pixel theme as well as the accompanying launching images and RetroPie system's icons.

@Rookervik Thanks a LOT for this awesome theme
Im a non-pi user too because of the more powerful emulators in x86.
Is there any chance we get PS3, 3DS and WiiU logos and consoles images on Pixel/Pixel2?, Im not good at pixel art or I would try it myself.
Thanks in advance mate, really appreciated

[Rookervik]

Got a lot of projects, plus work. Taking forever. Haha. Need to shade it.

Just in case anyone is interested, I've created a script to install/uninstall Pixel theme extras (Retropie menu icons, boot splashscreen and launching images).

It basically makes the task of copying the files less tedious :)

Hope you enjoy it.

Hi,

I'm trying out this theme - the Metadata version to be more precise - (amazing job by the way) and I'm facing a difficulty that you may be able to help me with.

I'm using the theme on a 4:3 screen on a bartop arcade using a Raspberry Pi3.

When I'm on the game selection screen, the game's marquee appears over the game screenshot / video.

Is there any way I can ignore the marquee's on this theme (or fix this issue)?

Thanks

@Rookervik the Pixel 2 version already available?

[paffley]

Does anyone have the images for the Sufami Turbo system?

[Quackwalks]

I noticed while using the Pixel-Meta theme that the last played time is overlapped by other info. I wonder how to adjust some of the text like in the picture I've uploaded, but I know nothing about theme making. If anyone has any insight I would love to hear it.

@Quackwalks what's your display resolution ?
