Switch Theme

@SP Yeah, I'll get on those later today, I have a doctor's appt soon.

SP

Awesome. Thanks a lot.

lilbud

@SP Both versions of the theme have been updated.

SP

@lilbud Thank you for updating the themes, but I found some problems with both of them. The new icons do not work on the dark theme and on the light theme, the Wii icon does not work. Also, on the light theme, when you select the ps2 section, the number 2 is missing on the upper left side of the screen.

lilbud

@SP Okay, all of the issues should be worked out now, try updating

SP

@lilbud I tried both themes and the issues have been fixed. And apologies for bothering you again, but I failed to mention one other issue. It has to do with the rating stars. Here are two pics that I took: (http://imgur.com/6koOuQC) (http://imgur.com/mTCVKzB)

The graphics appear messed up and sometimes the circles turn all black. I tried to reproduce the black circles but couldn't get them to show up.

lilbud

@SP Huh, would ya look at that.

Never seen that happen before, the theme is okay on my end. I just updated it an I am running it now and that is not appearing

SP

Hmmm.... I've no idea what's causing it. Oh, well I'll live with it. By the way, here is a pic of the black circles: (http://imgur.com/a/azmI4)

What I did is I manually set the star rating for Contra, exited out of the game, went to the Wii section and they appeared on the only game I had on there, Mario Sunshine. Repeated the same steps on another game went to another section and the circles were completely gone.

Once again, thanks for adding the icons and fixing the other issues. You make some great themes. Keep up the good work.

SP

Test post...

Edit: Finally. My posts were getting flagged as spam.

@lilbud The problem with the rating stars was due to the version of EmulationStation that I was using. I downloaded a new version and now they're fixed.

I apologize for thinking that the theme was causing the problem.

I made an animated Splashscreen if anyone is interested

@lilbud ever thought adding some switch to all the consoles to switch em up?

lilbud

@Omnija No, I never thought about it and I'm not doing it. Mainly for 2 reasons, that would mean 80 more icons that I'd have to make (honestly, my next theme will have no custom logos) I also like to follow the K.I.S.S Principle for icons. The switch on the icons would make it too cluttered.

Just wanted to say I am loving this theme great job! very inspiring! I decided to make some custom icons that could be used for recently played, kodi, settings, all games, favorites, alternative pc-engine, alternative kodi, and rapsbian os hope you don't mind. i thought it gives it even more of a switch feel.

@lilbud Unless I'm being thick, tI can't find the dark Switch theme. I've updated Retropie-in the sense that I updated everything from source. Your Switch theme comes up, but I can only seem to see the Light theme in the theme installer menu. Is the dark theme actually available or has it been pulled?

Also, the theme pictured below: is this one of yours? If so, which is it? I like simple, and prefer dark themes over light themes.

@lilbud Here ya go:

@danorak1981 I'm not at home right now so I can't check if the dark version is available from within Retropie. But at least it's available on github if you want to manually install it. https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-switch-dark

Also, the images are showing changes I've made to the dark switch version just for personal use. And i will not release it, because i only changed the things I needed for my particular setup and I'm to lazy to add more icons.

lilbud

@danorak1981 I never added the dark theme to the retropie setup, I'll send a PR soon.

That theme you see is a custom version made by @EctoOne

lilbud

@itsmejerry If it is okay with you, I would like to add these icons to the switch theme.

Also, whats the TV icon for?

Danorak1981

@lilbud Thats actually really cool-I like the Switch theme, but I find light themes a bit hard on the eyes in my lounge-the darker side has always appealed to me (enter Star Wars reference here lol). What I really need to learn to do is make my own theme, but not a clue where to start-I could just pinch bits of others then to make my own!

Why do you think all of my themes have a dark variant? I start by making the light version, but then realize (usually by playing games late at night) that the light version will slowly make me go blind.

@lilbud no problem at all please do! the tv icon is just an alternative "kodi" icon. I figured if people do not know what Kodi is it might be easier to just show a tv icon.

Here is the link to the files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bza0Ft88hK60YkxqVGNhOWxicG8

I'll be sure to share any other additions I make to your theme as well. I am currently working on a loading screen that looks similar to the loading screen on switch.
