Material Theme

lilbud

I made the GitHub repository, Material Theme, How is it added to the Retropie Community?

herb_fargus

@lilbud its added when its complete ;)

but in the esthemes.sh module locally after this line:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/841c5b237f025af2c458ea7b8c6caa7a36c644fe/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh#L69

you can add 'lilbud material' and then you should be able to install it with theme installer from the setup script.

Nice and clean!

Finhead

Very nice, look forward to the rest. Will you be doing Arcade and Daphne as well? Only a few themes support those as far as I could find.

Also, when it's complete, you could take a couple screenshots of the system screen and gamelist screen and make a pull request to https://github.com/wetriner/es-theme-gallery and an addition to the images.list, so they're available to preview in the esthemes module. If you want everything up to date right away.

@Finhead Yes, as it stands, I plan to do every system, even regional variations like the Mega Drive and the PC Engine

Finhead

Nice :) , it'll be great to have another option for those 2 systems.
Like I say there limted right now. and 99% of my games fall into these 2.

I can help test if your still having trouble.

@Finhead yeah, no results on the ES Scraper for any system after about 5 min of being frozen. Sselph's Scraper, I go to "scrape chosen systems" select Amiga, (or any system) and it fails to scrape. I just need people to test if box art is the right dimensions.

I can try it out for you no problem, if you want to go through it and send me a download link you can Send me a message on my Facebook page since I don;t think this board has a PM option.

Hmm try this or looking up Tundra Desgins on FB

@Finhead Here you go, The Daphne material theme. You will have to replace the Daphne folder in the simple theme, for this theme is based off of that.

Daphne download

I installed this to try out but I can't seem to get Daphne to use images. I think it's a issue with the emulator not the theme though.

lilbud

Should i upload my Simple.xml?

lilbud

The whole theme will be done tonight. And uploaded on my dropbox if anyone wants the zip file

I don't think that would fix the issue with Daphne if that is what you mean. I "think" Daphne rewrites the gamelist.xml file every reboot. At least that seems to be the case for me, everytime I change the file to point to artwork it reverts back to the original xml when I reboot for the changes to take effect.

lilbud

Would I edit this post for the release of the theme, or would I make a new topic?

herb_fargus

@lilbud feel free to edit the post with your release. Also feel free to update your github repository with the completed theme as I'd like to test it
