Pixel Theme
-
@herb_fargus Eh, everyone wants something different from a theme. I don't have too many. Luminous, Luminous Mini, Pixel, Pixel TFT, Pixel with Metadata... isn't that it? Really just 2 themes with a couple variations. And from what I know, only Pixel is available in the downloader isn't it? People can just get them on the forum.
-
@Rookervik Perhaps. well I may set up a few of them on github just so I don't lose track of them if that's cool with you.

@herb_fargus yeah, that's fine. I should probably think about setting up a site or something for my various customizations. Different themes, splash screens, movies, runcommand screens, kodi art, stuff like that.
But in case we're too far off topic, Pixel now has a meta data version. Check a couple posts above, or the main post at the top for a download link. Let me know if it's not lined up or something. And "not lined up" I mean really far off. Haha. Metadata is a B to align in ES.

@Rookervik said in Pixel Theme:
Been a long time coming. I am sorry it took me forever. Pixel theme with metadata... instead of system art and information. I made the screenshot/boxart smaller and brought the bar up to make more room for metadata. All tags are included for all of you lovely OCD people. :P
Pixel-Metadata Edition: Download
Any plans to support emulationstation-kids?
Love you work and pixel is the theme i install everytime :)
-
@Rion Carbon has support for ES-kids but it didn't work from what I was told. The author of that version of ES never got back in touch with me so there's no way I know of to get it working. :(
-
@Rookervik: Pixel with metadata? Woo! This makes me happy!
@Rion: I created MetaPixel based on Rook's original Pixel theme because I liked it but wanted metadata. I also wanted something that worked with Zigurana's child-friendly ES, so I got that working too.
-
@mattrixk You'll have to give me a little insight with the child friendly. Zigurana said that Carbon's child-friendly icons weren't showing up even though I followed the instructions from his thread. But then he never got back in touch with me. So I'm in the dark. Especially not having child friendly available
-
@Rookervik I can have a bit of a play with the Pixel theme and let you know how I go. No guarantee on when though. We just back from holiday and the house is a mess, lots of washing to do etc. It will be while before I get some time to myself.
-
We are missing the European "Sega Mega-Cd Model 1 & 2" from Pixel theme. :)
And Sega-CD Model 2 with is the same as Sega Mega-Cd but with the name Sega-CD on top.
-
@Rion Man, sounds like you need to start drawing some pixel art! Let me know how it goes! :P
-
@Rookervik Ahh man.. I get back to you in a year 😉
-
@Rion Mega-CD added. There will be no model 2. Just as there won't be a Commodore 128, or a Turbo Express and others. :P
-
@Rookervik Thank you so much! 😀
-
@Rookervik what? No turbo express?? But i wanted to use a turbo express overlay with an lcd filter that displays the games in a tiny part of the screen. Now what am i gonna do? Play them full screen? Phhht!! :)
-
@herb_fargus Would you mind updating the theme in the repository to 1.93 and also add Pixel-meta to the repository?
-
@Rion update your setup script. All rooks themes now install from his repos
-
@Rookervik I loved your pixel and minilumi themes

@Rookervik I loved your pixel and minilumi themes
And by the way why do you not release a minilumi and pixel splashscreens? you could release a static and a vídeo version of them and base the video ones in the carbon video splashscreens but the pixel one with a pixelated and colorfull RetroPie joystick and loading circle, for minilumi its background with a dark grey variant of the carbon's joystick and loading circle what do you think?
-
@sergioad Mm, because I didn't think anyone used any of the splashscreens I made. XD Just a couple of the static ones for games people might remember.
-
@Rookervik I see... If you can please check if you can make a static one for pixel and minilumi please, I really love the minilumi one and I will love to have a splashscreen to match it 😀 and my sugestión is to use the minilumi's white bar on its background with a flat grey RetroPie logo and the word RetroPie at its right side, the font may be the same flat grey as the logo and that is it, it may not be so dificult to somebody who made such amazing themes 😁
