            @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.

              @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 .

                star_empty.png

                or this:
                star_filled.png star_empty.png

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

                @smartgenes said in New Comic Book Theme!:

                @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.

                            This one is for the Fairchild Channel F. I used the cover art from videocart 12.

                                  Do we have a theme pack for the Acorn Archimedes?

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

                                      @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....
