Pixel Theme Sounds

[Rookervik]

@SuperSirLink You should be able to use different scroll sounds per system. Just make sure that tag is in the systems's "theme.xml" and not in the main pixel.xml. As for any other sounds, Aloshi never implemented them. So they are impossible unless someone edits EmulationStation code to use them. Recalbox has an edited EmulationStation with sounds, but that's Recalbox. It's missing a lot of features that RetroPie has.

Okay, thanks! I thought I remembered a sound playing when launching a rom, but that was using RetroPie 1.9, so maybe it has been phased out...

@SuperSirLink This works for a game launch sound:

<sound name="launch">
		<path>./yourpath/soundfile.wav</path>
	</sound>

Hi, is this placed in the main pixel.xml or theme.xml? I cannot seem to get it to work.

@meleu what font style would you suggest? I've been toying around with this as well.

@Rookervik, @meleu a note about fonts: The sizes don't always match up. The font used in Pixel is much smaller than that used in MetaPixel, so if you just change font, all the text is much too small (or large). You need to also change the font-size of every text element, which can be time-consuming.

[Rookervik]

@mattrixk You only have to change the font in a few places, if you do the theme right. All the metadata fonts can be themed in a large clump, with the exception of the number elements. Then the gamelist and help text need to be themed separately. So, yeah it's not a single change, but it's not very overwhelming, either.

[mattrixk]

@Rookervik True, but I did make things a little more difficult for myself on MetaPixel. I have 5 different font sizes that need to be changed in 9 different places for 12 different elements. It may not be a lot of work, but it's time consuming, especially if you want to offer a couple of different font choices.

Thanks for the interest but I changed my mind :-)

Now I love every detail of the Pixel theme!

I appreciate the work of all of you theme makers. Huge thanks!

@paffley I put it in the main xml file under <view name="system, basic, detailed">

@phrazelle Thank you :)
