Flat Theme

[jdrassa]

@lilbud fyi, videos now support <maxSize> like images in case you want to use it.

[sergioad]

@robertybob It does not 😢

I think the Famicom-mini and Nes-mini theme from ruckage have gamelist scrolling sound.
Maybe take a look in there to see how and what he did?

[FlyingTomahawk]

Just implemented that click04.wav sound into the flat theme on my RPi 3 running ES v2.1.5RP
All good here, sound is working as it should.

If you would use this

		 <sound name="launch">
			<path>./sounds/yoursoundfile.wav</path>
		</sound>

You can have a game launch sound.

@FlyingTomahawk Game scroll sounds work fine, but the sound I'm talking about hasn't been pushed to the main branch yet.

I didn't know about the existence of a launching sound , so thanks :D

[lilbud]

Does anyone else see the box art growing slightly when you scroll?

[A Former User]

No, I do not.

Also, will you add Kodi to this theme?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro I'll get to it later, I'll be out for most of the day.

[jdrassa]

@lilbud fyi, the carousel theme changes have landed, but your theme is using an older version of the theme xml and will probably be broken.

You currently have:

  <infobar name="infobar">
      <color>dddddd00</color>
      <fontColor>000000ff</fontColor>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </infobar>

You will want to change it to:

  <text name="systemInfo">
      <backgroundColor>dddddd00</backgroundColor>
      <color>000000ff</color>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </text>

[lilbud]

I'll add Kodi and the Carousel changes in a little bit. The sound will be added too.

[sergioad]

@lilbud cool, thank you very, very much 😀

[A Former User]

@lilbud Is there a way of changing the background to the console itself?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro just add the background image to the system folders and change the path in the .xml

[A Former User]

Thanks!
What I'm thinking of doing is modifying this theme so that the background looks kinda like this. It's like a flat-type theme thing.
@Rookervik has made a bunch of these, and I'm gonna try and contact him to see if he can make more. (I don't want to rush him though.)

[lilbud]

@itsnitro if you need to contact him, might want to jump on the retropie irc channel

[sergioad]

@itsnitro Or maybe the actual flat colors plus a flat or even material design representation of the system

[lilbud]

@sergioad @itsnitro Just do whatever you want, I'm done with this theme until gridview is official.

[sergioad]

@lilbud I will not do anything, I love it as it is

[herb_fargus]

@itsnitro I wouldn't hold your breath on that. He's been busy with work, might be faster for you to check out some Photoshop/gimp/inkscape tutorials on YouTube ;)

[A Former User]

@herb_fargus Alright, I might give this a shot.
It's gonna be harder though with my program, Paint.net.
