Pixel Theme
-
You might be using an older version of the theme.
Think this is the one you want.

@gaavoid Thanks you so much sir, that was my problem, dunno why i had a old version of the theme, very weird but everything is sorted out, again thank you :)
-
@bjose2345 Great. Glad you got it sorted.

Hey I can't get videos to work with this theme. Any reason why? They work fine with all my other themes.
Also is there a planned update to add support for last played, favorites, etc.? Great theme, love your work. Thanks so much!
-
@mrjordaaany Videos did not work, previously, because of z-ordering issues in how videos were implemented in EmulationStation. There has since been an update to ES that allows z-ordering so it is now possible to get videos working. However, these changes break previous versions of ES. So unless you're on the absolute latest build, your ES will not load the theme correctly with these special tags in the theme.
I am not on the latest version. The latest version has several bugs that need to be addressed before I update my pi.
I'm extremely low on time since I'm back to work. I first have to get the new features added to Carbon, then I can work on other themes. So I don't think pixel will have videos, carousel changes, or favorites and such for a while. I'll get to them, though. Just too much going on to stay on the bleeding edge of changes for all 6 of my themes.

@rookervik Hey, all those reasons are more than fair enough. Thanks for the reply. Look forward to the future updates.

Don't get confused now man. I am desperate and have one think that might sound a little bit strange. My thing has nothing to do with this forum or this topic you are talking here.
I saw you are registered to Attract Mode -forum. Someone who is registered there needs to create a new thread about registering new accounts. What I'm talking about:
https://www.reddit.com/r/attractmode/comments/6m6zft/registering_on_the_forumsite_broken/
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/366
Could you please make new thread about this? The registering verification has been broken for 1 month now...

@aqery hi there, im already create a new thread in the forum about this problem, hope some mod or Raygun (the admin) read it. Thanks

ti-99 logo is trs-80.
Thought you could take a look at that. I have re-installed theme / updated it... went to github etc. they all have the same problem of showing trs-80 and not ti-99.
Cheers. -
@anunna777 Thank you for catching this. I have replaced the logo and synced up Pixel on github. Clicking the icon (on github) still shows the incorrect logo, but looking at the commit shows that the old logo was deleted and correct logo added. Let me know if this is not the case.
-
@rookervik Pixel is fine with an update now through retropie setup but Pixel-Metadata (which is what I use) still has trs-80 unfortunately after update.
Cheers. -
I have used the ti-99 logo from pixel theme (copied png into pixel-metadata theme folder) so it looks right now but obviously an update or install for others will still have the trs-80 logo.
Also noticed it looks 2D like the old version of the theme (without highlight or shadow etc.)... so wondering if it's the right one?
If it is that's ok.
Anyway love the theme (only one that has all the systems I have in RetroPie). -
@anunna777 Ah yeah I didn't update pixel metadata. Just the default theme.
-
@rookervik could you add favorites and all games support?
-
@sergioad I don't have access to these features to test them right now. Nor do I know how to implement them. Are they "systems?" If so, I can make system logos for them. That's not hard.
-
@rookervik just create new "systems" theme folder/files and name it as:
auto-allgamesfor all gamesauto-lastplayedfor the recently played gamesauto-favoritesfor the favorites
Look the @lipebello 's Retrorama repo as an example:
I use pixel as my sole and definitive theme on my raspi1 and TBH I don't care about video preview on my raspi1. But I would love to have these "virtual systems" (recent and favorites) on pixel.
Thanks for all your art, mate!
-
i'm using these as placeholder images for auto-lastplayed until the theme is updated (i love the pixel-metadata theme):
console.png:
logo.png:
looks pretty OK against a background color of #32457C
i searched google for "isometric delorian", and ripped the sprite from that with gimp. the logo is based on the Back to the future 2002 Font, also made in gimp. feel free to use them if you want. i have an auto-favorites set in the works, and one for a custom collection "Beaten" for all the games i've completed if anyone's interested
-
here's what i'm using for auto-favorites:
console:
logo:
can't really decide on a background color for this set, so for now it's #d27d2c
the console image is a light modification of Gold Treasure icons by Clint Bellanger, and the logo is based on the BlackChancery font.
-
Oh I forgot to make these. Haha. Full-time work has slaughtered my free time. I basically just sleep on my days off. I'll try to get on this.
-
I promise I haven't completely forgot! Work is still consuming all my time until we can get a few more people hired.
Messing with Favorites right now. I haven't looked at anyone elses' so I hope no one has done one that looks just like it.
Obviously not finished. Just trying things out.
