Switch Theme

@lilbud
That was fast, do you have any screenshots or mockups for the gamelist?

Looking forward to using the theme.

Also good luck with the finals!

@Syhles

This is a screenshot from the launchbox version, so certain things will not be in the ES version, like the single icon for ratings, or the stars to identify favorites

@lilbud
I will definitely be using this.

I wish we were able to use more metadata images in themes.

@lilbud Can't wait to see the finished product. Only thing I would say looking at the systems briefly is that you should go with GCE rather than MB for the Vectrex as GCE were the original licensed distributor.

@lilbud Sorry to be a stickler but MB just remind me of crappy board games. Stick both in the Vectrex folder and people can decide. I think most would choose GCE.

@lilbud Also... should you not be studying? Anyway I also think the PC Engine / TG16 icons should really be branded NEC rather than Hudson. The system was jointly developed, Hudson being more on the software side and NEC the hardware.

In the words of Squidward Tentacles: "If you need anything else, please hesitate to ask."

I should be studying, but the week before finals, the teachers do review on everything. Plus we get study time before the tests.

My finals are coming up soon, lucky enough I only have one, which is Math. ;-;

[lilbud]

@itsnitro I got 7, all in the same week.

Plus a 2-day Science test

Plus a 100 question Biology test

Help

@lilbud damn, that must be hard.
Well good luck man.

[lilbud]

So, here is the first shot of the theme running

This will be the first, and probably last, theme I create using @mattrixk's ES Toolkit for Windows.

@lilbud
I like it, I get the overall look you were going for, though I'll probably round off the corners of the boxes for the systems I'll be using.

It's a really nice theme though.

The Video/Detailed view is done

[Syhles]

@lilbud
Is that a mix image or am I looking at the video view?

[lilbud]

@Syhles Video view. if you want to be technical, this is actually Video/Detailed

[Syhles]

@lilbud
Lol, sorry I just saw the Chrono Trigger marquee and was lost for a second.

Aww, why is that? Anything I can do to make it better?

Edit: words are hard.

I like the detailed, video view. But the system view is not what I expected. I thought it would be full-screen with the system name in the middle and the boxes at the top. Should have probably seen it coming tho, since you made all the icons in the first place.
