Here are the first concepts for the game selection screen (detail/video).

I think I'm finally figuring out where I want this design concept to go.....but I think it still might need some tweaking.

box art version

video snap version

@dmmarti awesome theme! I've been wanting a slick theme like this with a discription of each system for a while! Amazing work so far. The only thing I wish it had was a no meta data option for the game selection. But hey I can live with it either way. Crazy how I love the system data but rather not have the game data haha. Can't wait to try this out!

dmmarti

@pjft --- In regards to your future potential of having user defined custom collection menus, would users be able to create more than one? And then assign different theme subfolders to them?

I was just playing around with some design concepts for some custom collections and was curious as to what possibilities you have dreamed up.

pjft

@dmmarti These will definitely be supported.

The other, more complex, approach is the "Custom Collections" folder one. That will likely be launched after this one.

This one is already working at a very rudimentary level on my end. So yeah, definitely invest in that.

dmmarti

The theme has now been released (7/22/17).

I've updated the Subject line ... but here is the link again.

Let me know if you find any issues and/or any feedback.

@dmmarti your custom system layouts are awesome! I absolutely love batman and mega man layout.

@tmntturtlguy said in [New Theme] Showcase (Now Released):

olutely love

Thanks man .... and here's one I'm hoping you'l like!

Cybermen

Thanks for this very nice theme. Is perhaps the SNES still in a European version in planning, like this one here:
Bild Text

dmmarti

@cybermen -- There is now!

I just added a new theme subfolder called "snespal". That now contains the background image with this European SNES that you provided.

You'll have to adjust your es_systems.cfg <theme> tag and/or rename the subfolders for it.

TMNTturtlguy

@dmmarti that's awesome!

Cybermen

Wow, thank you very much. Perfect.

Cybermen

I love this theme, thank you for that. A little question I would have still, is perhaps in the box version still planned to make the game logos a little bigger and maybe the game text somewhat smaller. Then the logos with game and box would appear better, like this:
Perhaps as with the spare theme:

dmmarti

@cybermen -- I'll see what I can do to update some things for that.

I've also got a few "collections" now....so when that feature gets added in, I'll have a few ready for it.

Cybermen

I think the theme is really great, if the gamecovers are even bigger, then it is perfect. Maybe a few console buttons should be adjusted in the main menu, amiga is not quite readable by the black lettering. But thanks for that.
