@chicuelo HI! Would be possible to create a version following the RA convention?
B -> Select/Enter
A -> Back/Return
Y -> Favorite
Thanks for the amazing theme!

@nil06 One thing that it might not be supported by Recalbox is theme variables, which I think your theme uses (i.e. ${system.theme}).

The available themes on their repository don't seem to use variables, but unless we tried we wouldn't know for sure if they work or not.

It appears that their themes get the system logo (or text label) directly from each system's xml with the following code:

<image name="logo">
<path>./data/logo.svg</path>
</image>

Since this label is standardized, it would be trivial to add it to all the systems' xml files and make logos out of the text labels.

The real issue is that I am running RP emulationstation and I can't really be bothered to build the recalbox ES just for checking out the code.

@mitu No batocera.linux forked the RetroPie branch. Don't know what RB did...
@nil06 The version you point to is a decrepated one RB codes are now on gitlab

I know. I had already seen their new repository in gitlab, but the theme code in the updated repo is still identical to the old one.

Sure, I wasn't the one requesting a Recalbox compatible version. If someone using it wants to port, I guess they can submit a PR to add the specific RB theme version to your repository.

Me neither :) There is no "Call of Duty" if someone wants a new feature ;)

@chicuelo happy to help with any arts you may need by the way! :)

@chicuelo @nil06 Amazing job guys!

chicuelo · 14 Apr 2020, 12:25

@rand0m Thanks! we are glad you enjoy the theme!

chicuelo · 15 Apr 2020, 00:40

The theme is now available via Es menu!

GeekOB · 15 Apr 2020, 00:52

@chicuelo ES menu?
As in Retropie setup menu you mean?

chicuelo · 15 Apr 2020, 01:16

@GeekOB yes, RP setup

svera · 15 Apr 2020, 16:50

@chicuelo As far as I know, theme is not yet available from RP setup as PR is still open:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3104

chicuelo · 15 Apr 2020, 19:50

@svera Ohh, we will have to wait a while so, meanwhile its available to download manually!

Awesome theme. This theme is just what I have been looking for so long. It works but has some minor flaws. This is from my Raspberry Pi 3B and I pulled from the git repository as the instructions told me to.

First on FinalBurn Alpha. the font or image is not rendered correctly. see picture

Second. After I have added Wonderswan and Wonderswan Color as systems, the Wonderswan Color text shows up as ghosting on some of the other systems pages. See the pictures and notice the ghosting in Virtual Boy and Wonderswan.

chicuelo · 16 Apr 2020, 12:44

@tpo1990 Final burn alpha is a type size issue, the ALPHA word is rendered like that due a size support. I will check it, wonderswan and virtual boy I have no idea whats going on, are the only two who happen this? or other one line name do this too?

mitu · 16 Apr 2020, 12:46

@tpo1990 What resolution are you using ?

1ns0mniac · 16 Apr 2020, 14:14

Have to give props like everyone else, this is a beautifully clean and well thought out theme.

I am running the Damaso nostalgia trip v2 image on my pi4 and would love to see everything on there supported. Here is what I can tell is not displaying any art or titles:

Atomiswave
Naomi
Openbor
Nintendo Hacks
Super Nintendo Hacks
PCFX
PSP Minis
Genesis Hacks

Past that, it's awesome and keep up the good work!

3rd Party project ripoffs are not supported here.

@Thorr69 Sorry about that. Ignore me then! I know it's based off the Supreme build but wasn't sure how others felt on it. >_<

@chicuelo That's quite possible since I can correct the type size issue on FinalBurn Alpha by copying one of the other theme.xml files from other systems such as SNES and edit the file to get it to display correctly. However I think it is better that you fix it from the main source.

No it also happens on Wonderswan Color, ZX Spectrum and Custom collections. The only difference is that Wonderswan Color has a different ghosting with that of being black instead of the others with being grey. See picture.

@mitu I am using default resolution 1920x1080 on a PC monitor currently. I haven't tested other monitors or resolutions yet.
