I'm still having problems with the stars on this theme matching one's rating.. Mine are all 5/5 filled up.

3Draco

@duglor are they red or silver? If everthing is silver it is not filled. Oh i think i have the same problem. I will look in to it maybe i can finde some.

3Draco

@duglor it ist not the right way but it is a fast dirty fix
opend the comic_book.xml and delet the <unfilledPath>./art/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
as always make a backup of the file. If I have time i search for a better fix.

@duglor it looks like that the stars are normaly a outline and behind the outline it shows the full star. I think this is a global thing and it should not touched (i dident find it ;-)) but what you can do is copy my version of the emptystar to \themes\ComicBook_SE-Wheelart\art. And you need to undo the dirty workaround .

or this:

I also tryed this and it dosent worked for me->

@sergio_mikkos hahahahaha well... I fixed it
It was stupid simple to do.
I will update it to my fork, but it you want to do it manually, all you need to so is open the comic_book.xml in the text editor of your choice. (I use Notepad++) And edit the following:
From this:
<rating name="md_rating">
<pos>0.87 0.66</pos>
<size>0 0.038</size>
<filledPath>./_assets/star_filled.png</filledPath>
<unfilledPath>./_assets/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
</rating>

To This:
<rating name="md_rating">
<pos>0.87 0.66</pos>
<size>0 0.038</size>
<unfilledPath>./_assets/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
<filledPath>./_assets/star_filled.png</filledPath>
</rating>

What is happening is that when it is applying the images on the screen it first applies the star_filled.png then the star_empty.png, which causes the overlap. So the edit just changes the order of apply the empty star image first, then the filled one.

Where is the file where you edit this? I think a similar issue was solved with an overlapping "D" in "TIMES PLAYED"?
What I'd also really like to do is increase the amount of text available in the text box (the <desc> information) in emulation station and also decrease the scroll speed if possible.

@3Draco
Do we have a theme pack for the Acorn Archimedes?

@duglor
It is covered by the Cygnus Blue Flames theme. I think this is one of the only themes that covers it for now.

duglor

@DTEAM @3Draco Yes. I love this theme, though. Have you seen what Draco has done? He's awesome and he did the apple2gs theme for me. Consider this a mild request. I know folks have lives and i know folks don't like to do workish favors. Just decided to put it out there for him and any others...since i could probably do it except for the logo..I don't know how to make something in that comic font....
