Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

[Lendersmark]

Hey that's AWESOME.
Really.
Can't wait for new systems to be added to the theme.
Currently I have those systems that appear as blank, maybe they are not yet supported?

Amiga CD32
Fairfield Channel F
Neo Geo CD
Philips Videopac
Openbor
PC engine CD (aka Turbografx 16 CD)
PSP Minis
Super Nintendo CD
TI99

I saw in comments that @roslof is working in adding new systems: great!
@roslof, is your work in progress downloadable somewhere?

Ps.
With this theme, Famicom appears as "Famicom Disk system" to me ... So I see "Famicom Disk System" twice. Is it a bug or does it depend on my build?
I'm using the latest Virtualman build.

I managed to edit all the system indicator files and created a 14 systems theme.
AWESOME!

@Panja could you please share it? can your edit be downoaded somewhere?

Sure, if that’s ok with @chicuelo, I would be able to upload them.

@Lendersmark There is a "famicom" folder and a "FDS" one, I think both are the same and you have roms in both folders. I suggest to move all on a single folder and make the other dissapear.

I've got 30 on the go now, bloody indicators took me ages. :p

@AdamBeGood
Can imagine creating more will take a lot more time. 😃 I “only” had to remove 2 indicators from my set.

I had a good template system by the end. I still think of extra systems I want, and I'm hesitant as I don't want to mess with the indicators again!

Good stuff!!

[daviduco]

Systems "name" are screwed.

I've just downloaded the theme from both setup and github and it looks the same (just in case any was wrong).

16:10 1920x1080, could it be the resolution?

[daviduco]

Uhm, sometimes, starting EmulationStation fails with error:

emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:21: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Asertion `!err' failed.

[chicuelo]

@daviduco You are having troubles with the bigger system name text. I don´t know why could this be happening

[daviduco]

@chicuelo it's a retropie buster 4.7.1 fresh install.

Let me check tomorrow on a 1080p screen.

There are no errors in emulationstation log.

[daviduco]

@chicuelo i've noticed i don't have any png for system in /_art/indicators path.

There's a call in theme.xml to those files for every sytem:

<image name="indicator" extra="true">
    <path>./_art/indicators/${system.theme}.png</path>
    <tile>false</tile>
    <color>F8F8F8</color>
    <origin>0 0</origin>
    <pos>-0.002 0.15</pos>
    <size>0 0.70</size>
 </image>

And yes, the bigger system name text works like a charm on a 16:9 screen.

16:10 doesn't like it :(

[chicuelo]

@daviduco Thats strange, maybe you could reduce the size of the font a bit.

In order to run, you have to rename the dot files according to your systems order

Love this. However, why is "FAVOURITE" the "X" button?

[chicuelo]

@dirty_monkee I think it was a design mistake. I will fix in some days

[Panja]

@dirty_monkee

If you scroll up a little you'll notice I have corrected the X for a Y and uploaded it here.
You can use that one for now or wait until @chicuelo fixes it officially.

@panja
I found this after I put posting my reply and have used yours, thanks.

Is there a way I can remove the indicators altogether as I have more than the allocated systems and can’t be bothered to add more via photoshop/inskape.

[chicuelo]

@panja The theme is uploaded on @nil06 ´s github, so he will have to update the project. I have some new images so we could make a bigger update
