Can you share your controller.svg ?
Let me see how it looks on Linux.I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.
-
Not sure what the problem is.
I had a look at the system.svg .
I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

@benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.
I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.
-
@benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.
-
PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)
@dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?
Lowres-nx should be the next one.
-
I'll try to get to this soon!
-
-
Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.
-
Cool !
-
I'm doing TIC-80 before LowRes NX because it's going to be easier.
Like with Pico8, I'm using the default color palette for TIC-80 carts on the logo and I'm changing it to add a border so that it will have sufficient contrast to be readable against any background. But I'm conflicted on how thick the border on the TIC-80 should be.
Do you prefer system.svg
or system2.svg?
The TIC-80 controller.svg was pretty easy:
-
Looking nice ;-)
I prefer the second one. -
@benmclean Curious how the outline would look with the dark blue (#29366f) instead of the black.
-
@benmclean I vote the second
-

Yeah, dark blue is probably better.
-
Is also very nice.

For TIC-80, my controller.svg looks right but my system.svg is getting part of its right edge cut off in emulationstation. What. https://github.com/BenMcLean/es-theme-carbon/tree/tic-80/tic80/art
Also, on that Pico8 request, my SVG is correct, but the SVG rendering in emulationstation seems to be crappy as it is showing white borders (like 1 pixel) around the edges of the rectangles -- probably the background showing through due to rounding errors in the code that displays the SVG. Not noticed before because I can't see it from far away, plus other SVG logos aren't just rectangles like this. I say merge it anyway because changing the SVG won't fix that.
(later edit) And another thing. Why does the roms folder for sg-1000 get a dash but the roms folder for tic-80 is called "tic80"? The name of the system is "tic-80" not "tic80"
-
@benmclean I think maybe it comes from the name of the libretro emulator, the emulator for Tic-80 is lr-tic80 and the emulator for SG-1000 is lr-genesis-plus-gx
