I tried commenting out both, like you suggested, but the dimming is still happening. I’m thinking this is just a default behavior in EmulationStation.

@mattrixk Hey there mattrixk, i made the changes you suggested and they worked out pretty well. I think it looks pretty nice now. I updated the screenshots with the new changes.

Now the area around the screenshot / movie, that has been more of a challenge to get something that doesn't make the whole thing look too busy or full.

My kingdom for a graphic artist! :)

sorry for bumping this old thread, but I love this theme.

My only problem is that when a game has a long description, it scrolls for bit but then stops. Almost like there is "field length" limit after which it cuts off..

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

thanks

@daistaar if you've updated recently you'll notice video support was added.

Whether or not it was added well or how useful it is is up to debate (I made it function, though I wouldn't call it beautiful)

So if you can clean it up and make it better I have no qualms and would accept pull requests

@pjft I'm not holding my breath on that til stretch is released as it will be much easier to do once we don't have to compile ffmpeg, but i imagine we'll be able to come up with a workable solution by the time that comes around (probably come end of year ish)
