Emulation Station Theme - Star Trek LCARS

dmmarti

A new theme I've been working on for awhile and finally got it done.

Star Trek - LCARS

This is version 1.0 of the theme. It has support for video previews/marquees. I wanted to have a different style of theme for my RetroPie setup instead of video game oriented backgrounds, etc.

System view

The Youtube video below has an error that has been corrected in the download. The Starfleet symbol is up-side down in the video ... but not in the theme download. I'm sure there's some other bugs in it, but I tried to get them all taken care of). This theme supports almost all of the systems RetroPie supports.

Ha! the "NCC-1903-A U.S.S RETRO" is a particularly nice touch.

Nice! If this was on github I'd love to be able to get it directly through Retropie itself :)

Well done!

@dmmarti Very nice indeed. It's very different to everything else out there, and that's awesome.

I'll admit, I don't know what LCARS is.

Awesome man!

@mattrixk IIRC it's the screens from Star Trek TNG (e.g. where Data sits)

See LCARS on Wikipedia.

Fun Fact: LCARS was an acronym for Library Computer Access/Retrieval System, but the Linux community changed that to "Linux Can Also Run Starships". :)

Thank you!! All hail The Next Generation haha! This was my first website theme back when I was on the phone website train. Have been grateful to any user and system that had one since :)

Any chance someone have a copy of this still? the original mega link is caput.

klachow

@matrix Same question!

I do still have the original LCARS ES theme online on my MEGA account.

However, it was made well before all of the new enhancements were made so it does NOT support the All Games, Last Played, Favorites, nor any Collections. That's why I removed it along time ago.

I believe I still have the original Photoshop PSD file for the LCARS wheels I made as well. I'll have to look for it.

I'll get the MEGA link updated with a new one in the next day or so (I'm not at home right now) so you can download it.

It'll still work with ES of course, it just doesn't support any of the newer menu items.

@dmmarti Any update? I would love an LCARS theme, I mean, I could just get my hands dirty and make my own if this project is discontinued.

@dmmarti looking all over for the theme for es please share again!!!! Looks awesome!

@wpc3001
Try this link.

Remember, this theme was made way back in 2017 ... before a lot of the ES updates had been made. So this theme doesn’t support many of the current ES features.

I had planned to totally revamp it - but I never have.
