Flat Theme

@lilbud I'd like to, but I don't have a spare Pi for testing, or the patience for Ubuntu (I used to have to use Ubuntu for work. I dislike it immensely). So until jacobfk20 can make a windows version I'll unfortunately have to stay away from it (which sucks, because I really want to play around with it).

@mattrixk Why not try Linux Mint? ;-)

[lilbud]

@mattrixk Whats so bad about Ubuntu? I heard it was pretty good

[cyperghost]

@lilbud Linux Mint includes some codecs Ubuntu does not have.
So you decide: Ubuntu or Linux Mint
Both are very good systems :)

The Ubuntu-dislike is because of the man and the company behind. It is said that Ubuntu does not develop the kernel (for ex.) and just uses the Debian system. But all in all it is a succesful system and an easy setup ... made for everyone. I think that the real reason of dislike :)

But I can ask you: What do you like more? RetroPie or RecalBox?

[lilbud]

@cyperghost Retropie, easier to understand, more support.

[cyperghost]

@lilbud I agree! I don't like the NOOBs loader ... so I don't like RecalBox :D
Stupid to ask :) RetroPie rox

Ok, here is the concept for all views of ES.

Detailed:

Basic:

And, If I decide to go this route, Grid

There will be the standard footer help text, It is not here because this is simply a mockup.

Let me know what you think.

@meleu said in Flat Theme (WIP):

@mattrixk Why not try Linux Mint? ;-)

I don't really like the Unix system in general. I hate how everything is permissions based. Also in ubuntu I couldn't find programs that acted they way I wanted them to.

Mostly for this though, I just don't like having to use virtualbox. It's annoying, I can never set it up perfectly, and it takes up too much space on my limited hard drive.

[mattrixk]

@lilbud they look really good. Anything special for the system view?

[lilbud]

Can't really think of anything mind blowing. I was just going to have the background and the footer be the 2 shades of (blue?) that you see in the gamelist. Or do what I did in the Material theme and have them be the color of their respective companies. Thoughts?

@lilbud Amazing theme! I like a lot! Are you planning to add video support?

[hooperre]

@lilbud This would be, without a doubt, my favorite rom selection screen of any theme out there.

[lilbud]

@Nismo I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

New concept for basic view

@lilbud Looks cool. You can take screenshots on your pi if you install this script and kick off the command using ssh.

@HurricaneFan taking a picture on my phone was quicker, and I didn't have it installed.
