MiniJawn Theme for Small Screens

pacdude · 20 Jun 2019, 14:31

I made a thing! That you can actually download!

I got a RetroFlag GPi Case and I wanted a nicely-designed theme for this tiny-ass screen. So I made this! It's pretty nice and it's big and bold for smaller screens.

I do not have the GPi case yet. I hope soon. But your work looks good. Simple and elegant. I will add it in my short list for when I will buy the case.

I've added support for 6 different Custom Collections and an alternate Detailed view if you've scraped screenshots.

Hi @pacdude great theme for the Gpi. Any plans to send it to the official retropie setup? I can help with the pull request to do so, if you want to give permission for it to be added.

@pacdude is there anywhere I can get the background used for the full.png files? i love the theme but there are a few missing for me to use it so was going to try to add them.

This is great!

Any chance you could add Game & Watch?

EDIT: And SG-1000 as well. :-)

@fatelvis1 What systems are you missing? I can make them and share them with everyone.

pacdude · 22 Aug 2019, 13:42

@SinisterSpatula I would love to add it to the official RetroPie setup, but I'd have no idea how to do that! Your help would be appreciated.

pacdude · 22 Aug 2019, 13:48

@simpleethat You got it, Game & Watch and SG-1000 added!

@pacdude that's pure awesomesauce right there

mitu · 22 Aug 2019, 16:18

@pacdude To add it to the setup script you just need to create a request (Pull Request in Github's parlance) to the RetroPie's project - something like this.
I can create a PR for it, with your permission, if you want to include it in the official RetroPie-Setup, so it can be installed by any user from the ES Themes menu in RetroPie.

@mitu You have my permission. Go right ahead, and thank you!

Good job ! installed on my GPI case !

Is it possible you add Neo Geo ?

Thank you !

pacdude · 23 Aug 2019, 16:28

@stratagem Done and done!

HurricaneFan · 23 Aug 2019, 18:25

@pacdude Dumb question, how would I scrape my games to get your detailed view in terms of images?

pacdude · 23 Aug 2019, 19:16

@HurricaneFan Not a dumb question at all! That's apparently the default scraping mode for Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19588/skyscraper-now-officially-part-of-retropie-please-test) which I thought looked really nice.

@pacdude Thanks and thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HurricaneFan · 24 Aug 2019, 14:45

@pacdude Thanks, It does look really nice.

pacdude · 26 Aug 2019, 18:02

Added a new optional view to have a vertical screenshot in the background.

@pacdude said in MiniJawn Theme for Small Screens:

OK, your theme is added to the RetroPie-Setup installer, users will have to update all packages (a regular update) or just the esthemes module and your theme will be available as pacdude / MiniJawn from the Themes installer.

Thanks for the theme and for any future updates !
