[Theme] CRT

adon767

@HurricaneFan The values for the Max size should those be changed right now they are set at 0.25 and 0.33

I'm having the same problem with this theme. The md_image is using MaxSize, but it's not keeping my box art aspect ratio.

As far I know, that's a bug with the latest build of ES and would be fixed soon. (I'm not totally sure).

Nothing to do with the theme.

alphatoanant

@Nismo that's my understanding as well. I'll double check on an older version of ES to confirm in the next few days just in case.

@adon767 and @cloudlink I did some digging and it looks like this thread may cover what you are seeing:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9261/bug-box-art-displaying-incorrect-size-the-first-time-i-enter-a-system

Looks like the fix has been submitted to the RetroPie repo here:
https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commit/c41e0bbbeb1d54c7af5d79128da709816f990a15

If that matches up to what you are seeing it looks like a fix is ready to go - not sure when it will be in the latest build but could be soon.

Please let me know if that doesn't help.

@alphatoanant Yeah I got the same problem. Just waiting for the update now I guess.

@alphatoanant,

Outstanding. Do you mind if i showcase this theme and share it in some other groups?

retronerd

I have followed the instructions and transfered the folder "es-theme-crt-master" to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes but when i shall change theme there is nothing there? Im on Retropie 4.2!
What im doing wrong?

Put the unzipped theme folder that you download into /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes.

Create the 'themes' folder if it isn't already there.

ofcourse, here is my path !

KillerQ

@retronerd
Does mini master show up? Try renaming the theme folder To just CRT

mattrixk

@retronerd is there another folder called "crt" within the folder?

KillerQ

Also, triple check that the them folder isn't accidentally empty.

@retronerd the folder you copied it to isn't the one you're being told to.

You seem to have copied it to /opt/RetroPie/configs/...

And it's being suggested to copy it to

/home/pi/.emulationstation/themes

Different folder.

If not,

/etc/emulationstation/themes

May also work.

That was the first thing I told him. He insisted it was in the correct place as you and I stated.

Nismo

I don't have rpi, but i'm 95% sure it's /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes

herb_fargus

@pjft fun fact. /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes is symlinked to /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes so it really doesn't matter which you add it to because both are valid.

pjft

@herb_fargus huh. Always learning. I stand corrected! Thanks for keeping us honest.

What about the etc/emulationstation/themes folder?

Is it used in addition to that, it supersedes it? Mine are in this last folder, I believe.
