Flat Theme

[mattrixk]

@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.

@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?

@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.

[lilbud]

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.

@lilbud I'm really digging on this theme. Looks great!

[HurricaneFan]

@lilbud I totally get it, just thought I'd point out a different way of taking screenshots.

[lilbud]

@HurricaneFan and I already had putty open, since closing the putty window also closes ES.

Looks great, keep it up! Gonna keep my eye on this

@HurricaneFan

Sounds very interesting.
I am not so savvy when it comes to linux stuff and their command stuff. Any installation guide for dummies?
What files go where and so on...

@lilbud so is that a yes when it become stable because I would love to use this theme with motionblue which has support for video btw lilbud you are awesome

[HurricaneFan]

@FlyingTomahawk I think this will work for you

sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png.git

cd raspi2png
make

Then it can be called from an ssh session with:

@Nismo How would I add video support to the theme?
