Flat Theme

[Nismo]

For those who want to fix marquees in this theme open flat.xml and replace:

<view name="video">
		<video name="md_video">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<size>0.185 0.327</size>
			<delay>0.0</delay>
			<default>./assets/default.mp4</default>
			<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
			<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
		</video>
	</view>

With:

<view name="video">
		<image name="md_marquee">
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<pos>0.800 0.01</pos>
			<maxSize>0.19 0.10</maxSize>
		</image>
		<video name="md_video">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<size>0.185 0.327</size>
			<delay>0.0</delay>
			<default>./assets/default.mp4</default>
			<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
			<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
		</video>
	</view>

@Nismo would I have to remove the tag from each theme.XML?

[Nismo]

@lilbud I don't understand you... What tag? For doing what?

[lilbud]

@Nismo the marquee tag

[Nismo]

@lilbud I explained well, just replace in flat.xml that's all.

For NES I edited theme.xml inside nes folder to write short name "Nintendo NES" that way marquee is not on top of the name of that system.

I also correctly renamed turbografx 16 folder to "tg16" to fix that system was not themed.

@Nismo that is all I would do I like the marques.

[Nismo]

@greekmanx Yes, inside the flat theme folder there is a flat.xml file, just edit that file and replace the code with the one I provided a few posts ago, and save changes. Now marquees should display correctly (if you have them) and not giant logos on top of everything.

I have attempted to install the theme on the latest version of retropie and all I get is the blank theme... I can't explain why, as I looked trough the flat.xml file and the syntax seems to be OK.

I love this theme, except for the colors on the background of the system carousel. I created a fork that just has grey backgrounds there, in case anybody is interested in that modification. Everything else is the same great theme (great work lilbud)!

@lilbud Is the grid view available? Or is that a concept? Or is there some way to do it with the master that I don't understand?

[lilbud]

@hooperre that was a concept, it takes a lot of time for grid view, of which I have none currently. Been too busy playing Breath of the Wild, (35 hours and counting, I need help.)

I'll probably do that when grid view is in the official branch.

UPDATE: 39 hours and 3 minutes

@lilbud Is this ready to be added to the ES themes installer?

[lilbud]

@robertybob I would think so, unfortunately I have no say in accepting themes. Probably have to ask @herb_fargus

[herb_fargus]

@lilbud submit a PR.

[lilbud]

@herb_fargus Where would I submit the PR?

[herb_fargus]

@lilbud https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

[lilbud]

@herb_fargus Done and Done

[lilbud]

The Flat theme, as well as the dark variant, have been added to the ES-Theme repository

Famicom Disk system and ports are missing, just reporting ☺ I love the theme but as everybody I want not to see blank pages 😁

[lilbud]

@sergioad Both version of the theme have been updated with support for ports and Famicom Disk System
