Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme
-
@movisman Hi mate! yes! nice to see you again on the forum!
I have recently uploaded my old theme again, in case you want to update it. It has some graphic enhancements.By now yes, zxspectrum has the same artwork but you could rename a poster from another system to have a variation (maybe Atari 5200, Commodore 16, Apple2 or Sg-1000 that have same games this system does)
-
Fantastic! Didn't realise you had re-released your original theme. Good to hear :) I will update it. I may leave my Picade arcade machine on the original theme, but possibly switch to dark noir on my Ubuntu instance which is plugged into the TV.
No worries about the Spectrum, indeed I can use another image for the time being. What about reworking another Dizzy image? I see this on DeviantArt but it's not really 'dark' enough, and is a different artwork style:

Cheers!

@movisman I searched about dizzy but I couldn´t find any great image so I decided to use castlevania.
I would look forward to eternal champions art, maybe we coudl get a variation for the 32x and mega cd art -
Yeah I had a look for Dizzy also and the above was the best I could find. Was just trying to think of one you could use so there is no duplicate with PCE/TG16. If I find anything i'll let you know! :)

Target: Renegade possibly...? The Spectrum version was very good.
https://www.deviantart.com/candra/art/Ladies-of-the-Night-520375410Possibly a bit risque...but it fits in with the art style! :)
-
@movisman I thik thats more hentai like, scince the style is great, I think we should show some action, or epic scenery. maybe that game but another pic
-
Yeah agreed :) will let you know if I find anything! The original boxart would be good (the flying kick), if it was drawn in the right art style.

Loving the theme...However on the game list screen at the very bottom there is the options like start select options etc which are placed behind the other metadata on the screen eg rating players.
how do I remove them?

Hi @chicuelo
Thank you for your great work, I love your theme. Very classy with beautiful artworks, it's perfect.
I just wanted to ask your agreement on a proposal. I am using multiple system : Retropie of course, but also Batocera, Recalbox, and a customized Windows install based on the works by @f-caruso. I have started to work on an "extended" version supporting advanced features from those versions of EmulationStation. I do not submit my changes to your repository because I think it will break the compatibility with the "most basic" versions of the frontend. So I would like to create a fork of your theme for those systems supporting advanced features.The enhancements I have already made are :
- Changed the system menu (dark theme and icons added)
- Added a "color" selector to choose the color of the "Game available" label and the color of the selector in the system menu
- Added an options to change the controller icons style (standard, xbox, snes, dualshock or arcade)
- Support of multiple languages (at the time being english and french but anyone can send me files with the translations to some other languages)
What I am still working on :
- Support of a grid view (Work in progress - now the grid view make the emulation station from @f-caruso , batocera and probably recalbox crash because it is not fully implemented)
- Support of Batocera, f.Caruso windows versions of Emulation station, Recalbox.I will only publish it if you are ok with that. So please, let me know.
And thank you again for your great job and the updates. -
@nono6493 Hey, it sounds very interesting! but I don´t know if all of this changes are based on the os, the theme or both.
I really like the option to change buttons depending your controller, but how do you manage that? manually or through menu?
I know the theme is also available on batocera.
Please mail me and we cant talk better.
Thanks! -
just wanted to say i absolutely LOVE this design, and i plan on using it once i get my retropie set up.
does your team accept donations? because i want to support the team
-
@pojr Thanks for your feedback! We are doing this because we love this stuff and not to make profit! the best support is that people enjoy and share our work
-
@chicuelo hi, could you make additional platforms: lightgun, screenshots. Please
-
@fetfreak Hi, we have lot of request of many systems and we can´t cover them all, but you could create those specific by your own replacing an existing one with the image of your preference!
-
When installing this through es themes you cannot edit any of the files so it is not possible to change the indicators, any way round this other than manually installing?
-
@Avigrace The only way to do this is manually

@chicuelo hola amigo!
I write in English, as this is an English forum.
If you are not familiar with the work of Alfonso Azpiri, he was an outstanding illustrator that also created the best ZX spectrum art of all time. Lorna, Camelot Warriors, Game Over...
He passed away not long ago :(
