Replace Metadata values with an image.
-
@Henrik
The md_rating value is converted into a row of images within the code (if there are filled/unfilled pictures)...
Other metadata variables (excluding for example box art) are texts/labels, so yes, they are hardcoded -
It's to bad, but I apriciate your reply.
The coding in the xml files looks very similar to css coding, so it's kind of understandable.Have a nice weekend.

@Henrik
Look at the Modern theme, the metadata fields all have custom icons.You just have to do some cheap tricks with the XML to accomplish this.
Also what exactly are trying to accomplish? I may be able to help point you in the right direction as far as the XML side of things is concerned.

@Syhles Oh, that's neat...
I don't now much about XML files/syntacs, whatever, so thanx for adding this -
@DarkWolf
It's not hard to learn after you dissect the XML code for a couple of themes, it's fairly readable, and it's easy to understand what is doing what, at least in my experience. -
@Syhles Yeah, I did some basic stuff like implementing the video things and changing some pictures and positions... (testing purposes -> custom es builds)
-
@DarkWolf
That's similar to how I started as well, then it turned into me doing heavy edits to a theme, then I ended up writing a theme from scratch. -
@Syhles
Already uploaded/submitted one? -
@DarkWolf
Nah, I'm bad at working with svgs so my theme is made up of assets from about 4 themes, but I did custom overlay borders for all the systems and made custom overlays for each view mode.So at that moment I can't upload the theme that I worked on.

@Syhles
Mhh, yes, but you are learning from this... You never learned enough ;-DAt the moment I'm learning some C++ stuff by messing around with the Emulationstation source code :-D
