Futura Theme
-
I was not aware of a favorites feature in ES. Is this some forked version?
Anyways, you have 2 choices;- You deactivate that features function by setting it's size and position to the following.
<pos>1 1</pos>
<size>0.1 0.1</size>- You place the favorites to the right side with the other Metadata.
-
For my personal preference I would say 10px, or go 15px. 20px is a little bit thick, though depending on the overall finished look it could work at that size.
I would say for minimalistic designs, I would do a thinner one, but anything using textures, or beveling, etc the bigger one. It gives you more to work with to get the effect that you like.
-
Thanks for your input. :-)
I personally like the 20px layout but that is personal preference. I think best would be for the user to decide that is why I re-created all frames (system top, bottom / basic / detailed) in 10px and 20px versions. I also will release a dark version of each which has the dark background you used with the noise in it and a slight dimmed down frame border.
Additional to that I will include the background settings that I mentioned a few posts above. 3-4 different gradation effects that can be activated or deactivated by the user in the futura.xml file and also color them to whatever the user likes.Here the change log for the coming next release(s)
-
fixed frame spacing
-
frame spacing in 10px and 20px available
-
basic frame theme in normal or dark available (probably 4 independent repositories)
-
customizable background
-
Ports system will be added (thanks to @blackshadow)
-
CPS 1-3 and CPS systems will be added
-
new screenshot cut layouts for 10px and 20px
I hope I can get this done asap, my cold is not helping much though. :-(
Stay tuned....

Sorry for taking that long but my cold is killing me right now. I can't look all too long into a bright screen without getting head ache. But I haven't forgotten you. ;-)
I also cannot release the CPS themes for the current Futura version that would mean twice the work.
I did almost finish the CPS 1-3 themes for the new Futura versions (10px, 10px dark, 20px, 20px dark) already and I have to decide what screenshots I should use for the system view. Since I made this mostly for you and me I let you decide what game screenshots to use. I need you to tell me 3 game titles for each CPS system and I'll search for them. -
I finally finished it!
Here the links to the repositories.Updated first post and added the links too.
Enjoy!

This is amazing! I've currently moved to using this theme, the only issue I have is neo geo pocket color(ngpc), sega32x, and colecovision not being in here. I've tried to make my own adjustment with NGPC and it worked, however with sega32x/colecovision it ends up bricking the whole theme and i just get a black background. Any chance you can add those :D
used futura 20px dark btw :)
-
Sure, I'll give it a try.
-
Thank you so much! the sega32x and colecovision had me going crazy for the last hour or so haha. <3
-
@FlyingTomahawk damn :( added some mame/arcade games and now using the version of NGPC that I made bricks the theme :(
If you're working on the other parts, please looking into NGPC as well!
-
Roger that, will do.

Change log
v1.2 - 2017-01-31
- Added Sega 32X, Colecovision and Neo Geo Pocket Color systems
Enjoy!
Please be aware that this is a heavy theme and uses more RPi resources than lighter themes like Carbon or MetaPixel. So if you use 10+ systems with many scraped roms you might encounter issues.

this is such a beautiful theme, thanks for sharing it, I have kodi along with my emulators but when I selected kodi, it's a all white screen, will there be a update where kodi is added?
-
Thank you.
The white screen happens because there is no theme xml file for Kodi.
I will create and include Kodi in the next update. -

I think I should get it done today (Saturday here) or latest on Sunday so stay tuned...
Just curious, which Futura theme are you using?
-
@FlyingTomahawk 10px
-
I made themes for Sega CD, Family Computer Disk System & TurboGrafx CD if you would like to add them to yours. I've also adjusted the logo for the normal TurboGrafx 16 theme to look more in line with the Turbo CD logo. There is also an alternate logo version of 32X as well for anyone who would like to use it.

@FlyingTomahawk hey thanks for the update but I notice that Kodi didn't have images in the panels, I did do some and if you like here they are if you decide to do any future updates. I also hope that im not breaking any rules by doing this, if so I apologize.
