[AkiAfroo]

@bmoxey could you be so kind to share your theme . I love it!

@hoover900 & @bmoxey

Got it!

I copied the size from the long description to the short description and the system info. Worked a treat. Understanding this a tiny bit better with your help. It is appreciated.

Just got to change the colour of the text and reduce the gap between the short description and the long description.

@bmoxey

I am still tweaking at the moment. I still have got the game list screens to do. I will be doing that later. Once I am happy then I will make it available to all if that is allowed. I don't want to tread on anybody's toes.

@hoover900

I will set up my GitHub in a mo so you can send me the game list template.

Again Kind Regards Both

Many thanks for that. As suspected Paint Shop Pro X2 doesn't recognise .kra files.

I have downloaded and installed Krita and had a little play. However I try and cut and paste the template over the top and it doesn't give the same effect as your backgrounds . I've also converted the .jpg to .kra and tried that and no joy. Also converted the .kra file to a .png and tried it in PSP X2. Again no joy.

Krita is quite good tho.

Save as a .jpg

Done.

@AkiAfroo I will share my theme when I am finished. Still have to work on the games list. Does anyone know if the grid view is working?

[bmoxey]

@CCFox Your theme looks really good now.

[HurricaneFan]

@bmoxey Wow that looks amazing!

[HurricaneFan]

@bmoxey It has one last bug I think, the box art images change size when you move over them as your browse. That hasn't been fixed.

[bmoxey]

I have made more progress with my theme, including centering text on left, using the console image and console logo and changing some of the system logos. I probably should simplify the PC Engine one (or call it TurboGrafx 16).

[AkiAfroo]

@bmoxey you can create a github and we can enjoy it while you are doing some change xD. im in love of your mod.
pd,would be possible to add video preview in the background ? like after 1s or 2s after scroll the platforms display a blurry video in background with same effects backgrounds does.

backgrounds image + ..waiting 1s and platform video autoplay.

Update:

I have completed the majority of the game list screens. A choice of three....

Screen with one up and down arrows:

Screen with two up and down arrows:

Screen with no up and down arrows:

All three are in each system folder. There are 3 theme.xml files named theme1.xml, theme2.xml and theme3.xml. You pick the screen you want and rename the filename to theme.xml.

With the screen with no arrows I would like to have the system logo centralised if possible. I've tried a few different ways on the script to achieve this without success. Any pointers would be appreciated.

The back images are a mix from Tronkyfran theme and @hoover900 's images. @hoover900 kindly let me have a copy his image to work with and guide me on who to use them and credit should go to him for it.

I will now start digging around the net for the missing console images.

Comments good or bad always welcome....

Kind Regards

@CCFox Thank you. I really think the theme looks better without the arrows.

[CCFox]

@SP I did you have in mind when I did this....just got the logo centralised.
