Futura Theme

@sunnyseed
Have you fixed your Problem with the "favorite"?

@FlyingTomahawk
I have done the ScummVM system (first step for me was in german).
Would you have it when i made an english translate (or you translate it)?

[FlyingTomahawk]

@abunille

Thank you. I take it as it is.
Deutsch ist kein Problem für mich.
You can either share a download link here or you can find my email address inside the futura.xml file.

@FlyingTomahawk

Super, dann lasse ich die Infos so stehen :)

here is the link

Tell me, when something is wrong, i cant test the system here at the moment.
When inside the folder something like "._" you can delete them. Its because im on Mac OS X

The MS-Dos system i have finished, but i made fault, emulationstation is loading and loading and loading and didnt start. When its corrected i send you the link.

@FlyingTomahawk

Link to PC (MS-Dos) for testing.
On portable Emulationstation on Windows it seems ok.
I cant test on Retropie for now.

MS-Dos

@abunille

Thank you for your efforts. I will download both tonight and test them on Windows and RPi.

[abunille]

@FlyingTomahawk

No problem.
Its only fair if i can give something back.
I hope it is good enough :)

For users with "favorites"...
I have done this also.
A little modification in the futura.xml is needed.

But you must decide. I love to see this theme also on other systems. (i hope it is allow to write this)

@abunille

If you don't mind I would like to have a look at your futura.xml file.
If you like my theme wait until you see the Newgen theme by ruckage. I based this on his theme which was never released...but he is back and will hopefully continue where he left off.

[abunille]

@FlyingTomahawk

Ah yes, i know the Newgen Theme. I take a look for this theme long time ago.

Dont laugh when you look into the xml file :-)

I have done the "for me simplest way" (example, the positions).
It is not my finished Version, i think i finished up the next days.

Here you can see the not finished version:

EDIT: Deleted the Screenshots

@abunille

Interesting....that favorites stuff is this in the Kids EmulationStation version?
And I see that you use numbers like 100.58, are you using those to hide them?
If yes, then you might want to use

<pos>1 1</pos>
<size>0.01 0.01</size>				

...but that is up to you.
You said should use this in other systems? What systems do you mean?

[abunille]

yes, to hide them.
Thank you for the right pos and size numbers.

Actualy i made this theme for recalbox. And there are the favorites default.

[FlyingTomahawk]

@abunille

Sieht sehr gut aus. Auch gut zu sehen dass die Umlaute mit dem Font kompatibel sind.
I am not familiar with Recalbox. I see you used the Universal XML Scraper. My theme looks similar to yours I also put the image larger on top and bottom I have the metadata without description.
Please go ahead and use/change/install/share the theme when and where ever you like.

[abunille]

@FlyingTomahawk

Stimmt, danke ebenso :-)
Die Umlaute in der Beschreibung haben aber nicht funktioniert. Das muß ich erneut testen und korrigieren.

Thank you for your permission.
When i can do something, let me know.

[FlyingTomahawk]

The Scumm and PC data looks good. I just need to find English explanation text and also find screenshots since I need them for the 10px versions too.
I need to take time over the weekend and do this.

[abunille]

No rush :-)
Need you the screens i have used?

Thanks again for the work.

[FlyingTomahawk]

If you can't get the Umlaute to show in the system description you could change the font type to this one for example.

Good Times

I used it at the very beginning when I was building the Futura theme but it needs a commercial license to share and that is why I changed it.
I contacted the creator of the font and he said, if you don't share the font data itself and use it personally then it's OK.

Still, strange that it doesn't work there but it does in the menu at the bottom for example.

[abunille]

Cool, good font.
But i i test it again with the other.

When you need the screens i have used.

I didn't realize until earlier that I used the wrong center screenshot for the Atari 2600 theme lol. Here is the one that was meant to go with it if you want to replace it. I accidentally put a screenshot for the Basketball game instead of River Raid.

[FlyingTomahawk]

@cylum
lol, that is probably my bad I think. I chose that image.
I updated the image with yours and will push it to github as soon I get the MSDos and Scumm done.
Thank you.

First off amazing theme! 10px Dark is my fav.

So I am running into a small issue involving the PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16. I have manually changed the 'theme' and 'platform' in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg to tg16. While booted in EmulationStation it displays as a blank theme pcengine.

I've tried editing the theme.xml from system.svg to tg16.svg and that didn't change anything. Any tips/help?

Thanks!
