Pixel Theme

Can you add Adventure Game Studio, Steam (Moonlight/Limelight), and Desktop art to the theme?

Been out of state for a week. AGS is already in the theme I believe. At least I've done the art for it. I'll work on the others tomorrow when I have free time. I'm tired of arguing that single-item systems should go in ports, so I'll just draw the icons instead :P

@Rookervik

Alright, that's fine with me.

PokeEngineer

@Rookervik

Yes, the AGS art is there already. Sorry about that.

Rookervik

Added Pixelv7 with AGS, Steam, and Desktop system sections. Download link is updated on the main thread post.

@Rookervik

Could you also update in the main RetroPie repository?

I do not have access to the main repository. Nor would I know how to update it. Herb updates it when he notices a change :)

@Rookervik or whenever he gets the chance when he gets back from Alaska ;)

PokeEngineer

@herb_fargus

Ok. You guys can take your time, I don't mind. ;)

PokeEngineer

@Rookervik , @herb_fargus

Thanks!

herb_fargus

@RetroPieNerd should be updated

PokeEngineer

@herb_fargus

Ok.

Hi! I'm building my own arcade at home and I loved this theme, is there any way to get a High Resolution version of the RetroPie logo and "Retropie" text as the splash screen?

I'm working on the Marquee for the arcade and I would like to use them there, but I need a high resolution version (55cmx18cm 200-300 dpi)

Thanks!

@maurisouto it's a pixel based splash. You can upscale it as much as you like or make it whatever you want by pulling from the splashscreen repo or other themes readily available on github

If you're good with vector art, you can use the SVG logos inside the Carbon theme. You can scale them to any size you want. Since they're vector, you could print it the size of the planet and still not see jagged pixels.

@Rookervik Hey Rookervik, how do you stop box art from stretching in the game list. Like the Japanese box art of Final Fantasy VI compressing to the size of all of the others. But not messing up the others?

Rookervik

@lilbud

All box art should scale to a maximum width and height, never further. It should also keep it's aspect. Be sure to check the original image and check to be sure the aspect ratio of that image is correct.

If you're wanting a certain box art to be bigger or smaller than the others, there is no way to change that at all. The only way I can imagine you could do it would change the theme to display images at 100% size, and then manually edit all of your box arts to display at the size you want. Very tedious.

@Rookervik Thanks! I will try it! I'm not a vector expert but I have worked with them before... this shouldn't be that hard!

Thanks all for your help, I will post the results later so you I can get some feedback :)

found a strange problem - i noticed the various retropie icons (wifi, etc) are nice and pixelly in the pixel repo: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-pixel/tree/master/retropie/icons

eg:

i updated my retropie-setup script, and updated pixel via the theme manager, but they're still the 'cleaner' 3d style (from carbon?). it seems that they've correctly updated because if i look in the theme folder it has all the new images (i've checked them via ftp to check):

pi@retropie:/etc/emulationstation/themes/pixel/retropie/icons $ ls -l

so i guess somehow whatever is pointing es to the various images has not been updated correctly by the script? does anyone know the specific file that points ES to the elements of the current theme?
