Chicuelo Theme

I just need to check my theme.xml as I need to verify one other thing, and then will raise a PR in a couple of hours or so.

Cheers

@movisman Ok, I updated the megacd / segacd character so now its on you!

Lovely! I have raised a PR for the changes I mentioned above, as well as a second one just to update the readme.md a little bit.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Please note to test the logo slide, enable carousel transitions but make sure the style is still set to 'instant'.

Cheers

@movisman Great, I think it merged fine, can you check if the changes are ok?
I will update my setup to check the transition.
Thanks!

Hmm, I am still seeing the open pull requests:
https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo/pulls

I don't think it has been done?

Thanks!

Hopefully someone can come up with good images for the Wii, Wii-U, PS2 and other consoles that run well on PC. I want to use this theme but it's missing a lot of what I play in my collection these days.

@movisman
Maybe now? I tried from the GitHub app but it doesn't work so I merged from the web

@LiveFastCyYoung I have plans to make those systems, as this theme was first intended for raspberry and then expanded there where a lot of systems to cover. Maybe in a few weeks I could cover them all

Hi @pootis-spencer, I'm still working on the theme to neaten up the code, make detailed view look better (as I mainly use video view) add more systems and generally make improvements to layout and performance.

As mentioned before though this theme requires a certain setup of the gamelist.xml files and game media:
e.g. player number has to be one number so it works with the player count font (1-2 players would not work because it looks incorrect) also all of the md_image elements are fixed size so they look uniform when scrolling, this may work for flat artwork but 3D artwork could look stretched.

I have created "loose" templates too which uses the "maxSize" scaling which would work with most builds but I prefer the fixed size as it looks better and suits the build I've put together.

Below are a few screenshots from the gamelist view to show the responsive design inspired by the Art Book theme. I've also included a screenshot of the Power and Kodi system and gamelist views as they feature a special layout too.

NES Video View

NES Detailed View

As you can see I'm now using a lighter background for the system view but I may change this back to the darker theme. I'm also thinking about changing play count and last played to publisher and developer, still not sure just yet...

I was planning to upload this weekend but I still want to make some changes and get it right before I do so, hopefully won't be too long now.

It's available?? I would like to test it.

Guys I think you could create a new topic with this variation so we dont mix all the responses

Yep, that worked! I took a backup and updated, and all looks great :)

I think you can delete these branches though, just leaving the master:

@chicuelo are you still interested in the theme options I mentioned a while ago here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/169285

If so, I can add them to the latest xml and provide the additional files.

@chicuelo A link to v1.0 of Attract-Mode port, showcases all the structure. I am using platforms menu because calling text (like 8-bit console system) is much easier this way.

Ok! Sorry. But I only want to know if it's available this variation, I can't find anything about it.

@EctoOne
Sorry! I must missed this. How will this affect the theme? it will be a users choice like the indicator feature?
I read the code but im not sure I understand all.

@rand0m
Looking really good! I have updated some assets if you want to replace, the main background has now some texture, also some controllers are more accurate now and I added some systems. Also Im working on new systems so if you want to add all the art you could get it from the repo. Soon I will add Sg1000 , wii, wii-u, Ps2, msx, msx2, Neo Geo pocket, Neo Geo pocket color and Nintendo DS.

For the game list view, I think you could align the logo a little bit to the right to match with the snap, and maybe make the description text shorter (4 or 5 lines instead of 7).

Great work!

Thank you, I updated the assets now going to fix the gamelist view.
