someone help me?

anderocha

I managed to add the lines below:

     <text name="systemInfo">
		<origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
        <pos>0.5 0.85</pos>
        <backgroundColor>14141400</backgroundColor>
        <color>666666</color>
        <fontPath>./_inc/fonts/Cabin-Bold.ttf</fontPath>
        <fontSize>0.0222222222222222</fontSize>
     </text>

As soon as I finish I bring more details.

@anderocha Are you trying to show just one system at a time?

If so try adding the following line to the carousel section:

This is how it looks for me in another theme I am working on:

<carousel name="systemcarousel">
<type>vertical</type>
<pos>0.0 0.02</pos>
<logoAlignment>center</logoAlignment>
<size>1 0.9</size>
<logoScale>1.4</logoScale>
<zIndex>2</zIndex>
<logoSize>0.4 0.35</logoSize>
<color>00000000</color>
<maxLogoCount>1</maxLogoCount>
</carousel>

@anderocha O.K. I think I better understand your question. I think the origin line is messing you up. What if you remove that?

Hello, I've download the file and I like it very much! Awesome work! But I have a small question. Can I change the backgrounds of "System View" and "Basic View" by myself? Change the code? or change some files? Thank you!

Hi! The Art Book theme was installed through 351ELEC on my RG351v. I like how elegant and minimal it is. But I wish there was a way of browsing the games list with larger game art. Batocera can be configured with a game browsing screen that looks like this, and it works great for handheld devices:

small video clip here

Have someone considered adding a screen like this to this theme? It's using a still and video as background with the game logo on top. There's a very small bar of game info on the right. It really brings the game up front, and is especially great when kids use the device.

Cheers!

Thanks for providing a great theme!

I just need you to tell me one thing.
I'm wondering about <showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo> on line 255 of theme.xml.
I think if I change this to "true" it shows the snapshot instead of the mp4 video, but if I change it to true it doesn't show up.
If I change <showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay> in line 256 to "true" and change <delay>0</delay> in line 253 to 5, the snapshot is shown for 5 seconds and then the video is shown, so the snapshot image is there.

What I want to do is to display the snapshop instead of static.mp4 for games that don't have video.

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

@yamanobe
Now that I know the answer, I'll put it here for you to worry about later.
<default> . /_ inc / videos / static.mp4 </ default> .
After commenting out this line, we now have an ideal environment where games with video will play the video, and games without video will display a thumbnail image.

Hello!
I guess I should really go though the thread for possible previous answers but it's 382 posts long so I think I'll just ask instead... :)

After successfully scraping artwork for most of the games I have installed I see that quite a few fail to show up under "Art Book".

Is this a known issue and is there a solution or workaround?

Cheers!

sorry for bumping this old thread, but I love this theme.

My only problem is that when a game has a long description, it scrolls for bit but then stops. Almost like there is "field length" limit after which it cuts off..

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

thanks
