Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

@tpo1990 What resolution are you using ?

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.

@tpo1990 Fba is now updated and live, you can reinstall the theme
I thik that text overlay is the logo placement because we are not using any system logo. Emulationstation has an option for the carrousel logos, try to disable it.

I was going to mention that the ghosted text there looks like the replacement text that occurs when an image is missing.

chicuelo

@Thorr69 I thought the same, maybe we could place system the logo on a bottom layer to hide it, or simply set the position on 1 1.

The theme has been added to ES Themes, in case some people haven't noticed.
I am really looking forward to give this a spin on my setup.
Thank you again for this massive theme!

chicuelo

@Brigane Thank you! and please give us your feedback!

Since I've changed the order of emulators in es_systems.cfg in opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation, the dots on the left side don't make sense. Even without changing the order they don't make much sense. Is there any remedy to this by rearranging them or removing them?

chicuelo

@Quackwalks Yes, you have to order by yourself. You have to rename the files in order to match your system list.
If your first system is megadrive, you rename as megadrive the dot file wich has the white dot in first position, if your second system is nes, you rename as nes the one who has the white dot on the second place..
Do that across your first 16 systems and you have power, settings and favorites in the las 3 positions in case you use more than 16 systems.
Since retropie doesn´t have an indication system it is an emulated way to achieve that misfunction

Quackwalks

Here's a detail I'm sure will annoy people. The art for SNES has "The Legend Of Zelda" in the top right while N64 has "The Legend of Zelda". Also, the text at the bottom states that button X favorites, but X is for random selection.

It look's good, i use the 4:3 version on my arcade system, just thank you !

chicuelo

@Quackwalks the legend of zelda (a link to the past) and the legend of zelda (ocarina of time) are games for each system so that´s why they both are the legend of zelda.

Quackwalks

@chicuelo The SNES has a capital O in "of" and the n64 doesn't. I know it's nitpicking but just something I noticed.

chicuelo

@Quackwalks Thanks, I think you where talking about the game name. On the next big update I will fix it

First off I love the theme. Noticed things other have pointed out. The dots... How do I change the systems to align with the dots?

I've got the ghost writing in virtual boy, wonderswan, wonderswan colour and favourites too.

Beautiful artwork though.

chicuelo

@Jste84 I will make a tutorial about changing the dots, basically you have to rename the dot images in order to match your system order. It´s very simple but most users are asking frequently.
Im still figuiring out about the ghost text, check your ES menu a logo display option, maybe its trying to display something or you have enabled any related option
