[Theme] Angular Theme

SP

@lilbud Thank you. I really do appreciate it.

HeyRay2

@SP I had the same problem, so I went in and changed the zIndex of the "md_video" element in the "theme.xml" file from "70" to"69" and it resolved it for me.

            <video name="md_video">
                    <origin>0 0</origin>
                    <delay>1</delay>
                    <showSnapshotNoVideo>true</showSnapshotNoVideo>
                    <showSnapshotDelay>true</showSnapshotDelay>
                    <zIndex>69</zIndex>
            </video>

My guess is the zIndex of the video element and the bottom bar are conflicting.

@HeyRay2 Hey, it worked! Thanks a lot.

I've finished adding Atari Lynx. The only issue I am having though is, my logos are showing up as black instead of white. I'm digging into why this is happening but haven't had any luck yet.

@LiveFastCyYoung Lynx is already in the theme.

When exporting your svg files, convert everything to an outline. And then select presentation attributes for style.

@lilbud Long time, no see. Hopefully you still check the forums from time to time.

I hadn't touched my build in quite a while and started to this weekend. I was thinking about modifying your theme to make the angular right sidebar transparent so the system name and help text below overlays the screenshot / image underneath. Is there a way to make that sidebar transparent?

lilbud

@LiveFastCyYoung Actually had the forum open in the background until I forgot about it until hearing the notification sound :)

I'm undertaking the same process of picking up a long dormant build and getting back into messing around with it.

You can just comment out the sidebar in the theme.xml and that will take care of it.

You'd also have to change the code for md_image to fill the screen, as well as use widescreen images to fill the gap.

Do let me know how it turns out, sounds like a cool idea.

@lilbud It's my first pass but this is what I have so far...

I'm using the videos from the Colorful theme for Launchbox, taking a snapshot of the beginning, re-arranging the photo to align the system to the left, removing the sidebar from the system view and changing the system color for the sidebar for the gamelist view to match the background of the photo.

You can find his videos here...

@lilbud Couldn't figure out how to pull request your repo. I created gamelist icons for the Famicom and Super Famicom. They are below if you'd like to include them in your theme.

@LiveFastCyYoung You have to clone the repo, add your icons, and submit a PR.

@lilbud great theme! I'm just having an issue when using it in my Picade cabinet. As you can see in the screenshot attached (sorry for the bad quality, as you can see in a photo taken directly of the screen), in the game list view both the video and screenshot of the game doesn't start from the upper left corner, and also some parts keep the background from the system (arcade in this case). BTW, I'm using EmulationStation 2.9.0RP

Any clue about what's happening and how can be fixed?

lilbud

@svera switch the theme to 4/3 mode. In the config xml, change 16_9 to 4_3

svera

@lilbud if you mean in the theme.xml file, is already set up as 4_3 :(

lilbud

@svera are you on Pi 4? I know quite a few issues have popped up on Pi 4 unofficial builds. 4/3 works fine on my end

svera

@lilbud version is retropie 4.5.19 running on a RPi 3B+. Yours?

lilbud

@svera Yeah, same here.

I don't know what the problem is, as I've never ran into this.

Maybe the image is too small to fill the space

svera

@lilbud Could you please tell me which resolution do you use for the video snaps? and how have you scraped them? Skyscraper, sselph scraper?

lilbud

@svera I don't use video snaps, as my main setup is a Pi 2 arcade cabinet, and I don't need them.

I have an up to date pi 3, but don't use it much.

svera

@lilbud got it! It was the overscan_scale option in /boot/config.txt which was somehow set to 1 and causing this. Putting it back to 0 solved the issue. Many thanks for your help!
