[New Theme] Steampunk

dmmarti

Hey everyone, here's the first 1.0 release of my ES Steampunk theme. It's finished with 72 systems supported. It includes support for video snaps along with a vertical carousel. I was looking for something different in a theme. Something that had a different type of vibe when using it.

You'll need the latest version of RetroPie in order to use it due to the new features (vertical wheel, zIndex, etc).

It’s also easily customized by replacing the supplied system snap PNG images with your own.

For the different systems, on the main menu, the “system snap” image is unique for each system. These images are easily swapped out for your own by replacing the included PNG files with your own. Keep the new PNG images the same size, and the new PNG images should fall right into place. Under each system subfolder, there is a subfolder called _inc. Within that subfolder you’ll find the systemsnap.png files. Replace these with your own images for a personalized theme.

Here's some sample pictures of the different screens. You can also see it in use in the following YouTube link.

Oo very nice. The boxart window could possibly use a more pistony brass outline but I think it looks lovely

Awesome theme! It works pretty much perfect. The red is a tad bright when selecting a game.. but if that's the worst thing I can locate, I think I have a new favorite theme. Thanks!

Cool theme.

Reminds me of the C64 game "The Eidolon" somehow.....

rgds,

@dmmarti very nice!

@dmmarti This looks very nice! Well done on putting it together.

If I may bother you with a teeny little bit more work, is to create 3 extra systems if you have the chance:

"Favorites" (folder: "auto-favorites")
"All Games" (folder: "auto-allgames")
"Last Played" (folder: "auto-lastplayed")

That way it'll support these 3 new systems that I'm working on adding to ES in the coming days.

Just a thought. :)

dmmarti

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

@pjft Sure....I'll add those three systems in. I'm also adding in the "hacks" systems as well plus a couple of other lesser used systems. Should be within a few days I'll get the links updated.

dmmarti

@pjft I've updated the Steampunk theme (both the Mega download link and the GitHub page) with the three new themes (favorites, all games, last played). I also added in about six or so "hacks" system themes as well. I had a few folks ask for those so I stuck 'em in there as well.

Let me know if those work for you.

Great stuff! Do you want this available for people to download via the ES theme manager (seeing as there's now a Github for this theme)?

dmmarti

@robertybob Sure....that'd be awesome.

I've just recently learned how to create the GitHub package for it......but I haven't had time to read up on exactly how to submit it for inclusion into the ES theme manager for direct download.

I'll have to spend some time on reading how to do that (unless there's a quick "101" page with those instructions)....hahaha.

@dmmarti just submit a pull request and add your github username and theme name without the es-theme part above here:

make sure the indentation matches (spaces)

@herb_fargus Herb, I thought I was following the correct procedure to add a pull request but apparently I did not. I'll continue to read on how to properly add one.

@dmmarti Thank you! I haven't been able to test it yet, but I shall in the coming days. Thanks for the prompt reply, and thanks @robertybob for the PR :)

@robertybob Thank you very much!
