Pixel 2: A Dump Ground

[Rookervik]

@dankcushions Totally not alone. Meta data can really, REALLY, slow the Raspberry Pi's boot time. Your gamelist goes from 5 lines per game to over 11. That really increases what ES has to load.

So yeah, screw meta data. Screenshot is fine. :D

Aww really?

[CodeDrawer]

@Rookervik So I shouldn't use the book one?

[Rookervik]

@CodeDrawer Hahaha. The book isn't set up to match the original pixel theme. So the logo, gamelist and screenshot won't line up inside the book. I was thinking about getting a nice layout and just releasing skins for Pixel. Then people could pick whichever background they wanted.

[CodeDrawer]

@Rookervik Oh. I like books, too bad! :(

[tronkyfran]

#3 and 5# are my favorites. Keep up the good work!!

[Hex]

#7 Twine Plant is my favourite. Books one is good too

[AndersHP]

Is Pixel 2 only for 16:9 formats?
I prefer #5 :)

[sergioad]

#5 all the way, or #3 as an alternative

[Rookervik]

I seem to really like a dark coal grey top bar. Then a bar you can change colors on for each system.

@Rookervik
I think this is my favorite out of all of the mock-ups so far.

@Rookervik needs just oooonnneeee more metadata box for my OCD 😜

[Rookervik]

@cafarellidigital Heh, one more would fill it out better. I didn't even count. Just mocking things up. :D

[Syhles]

@Rookervik
Also looking closer at that new mock-up the box that I'm assuming to be the description box should extend as far as the boxes above it. Still I understand that this a mock-up.

I look forward to more mock-ups!

[Rookervik]

@Syhles Yeah, let's not nit-pick dumps that will most probably never pass mock-up phase. We can tear it apart when I choose a theme to go with.

[Syhles]

@Rookervik
I apologise that wasn't my intent.

[Rookervik]

Guess I can use this for now:

[Syhles]

@Rookervik
I like this, I would suggest using a selector image though.

[Rookervik]

@Syhles What is a selector image? I don't keep up with all the ES changes. I like my themes to be compatible with older systems, pipplware, recalbox, and windows. Because my themes come pre-packaged on pipplware, and are also available for other raspberry pi distributions.

@Rookervik Instead of using a color for the gamelist selector, you can use an image instead, as seen by @ruckage
