@hex sorry - as you probably already figured out I messed up the fake code conditions. I think it should likely be

Velocity == 0 and (NOT using VLC OR NOT in gamelist view)

But you know how PS works better than I do, so definitely don't trust me on this and check if it makes sense. :)

@markyh444 very cool! Thanks for the time and effort! :)

@carcayu said in Different art depending on theme:

Is there any way to download that art with a different name/location or edit the theme, so depending on the theme it use one or another art?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: You can find workarounds to achieve that. Such as keeping different gamelist.xml files and changing them according to the theme. But there isn't any tool ready to change/rename the files automatically.

If I remember right @jdrassa talked about ES having a feature to launch custom scripts after changing themes, AFAIK it was just an idea. Nothing implemented yet...

@ectoone

very strange , would of thought by now it would of been implemented. Sometimes like with the current consoles...I wonder what year I'm in ! lol

@meleu said in Extras for RetroPie themes (icons, splashscreens and launching images) | es_theme_extras shell script:

The first thing I would change is that backtitle saying "Backtitle", lol

Hahaha, you're right! xD

But I was waiting because I wanted to know how can I implement RetroPie's variables, for example: $__backtitle or functions, like gitPullOrClone. Do I need to reference other files?

See https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

OK. I figured it out. I had to update Emulationstation from source, so that I could get the latest version. Once I did that, the themes started working.

@pacdude Any update on your new theme?

@meleu: I've added version in my initial post (sorry to have not posted this earlier)

@jdrassa: the scrolling was restarting at the beginning but you point me to the right solution. By disabling Power Saver Modes in EmulationStation option, the scrolling is perfect as before now (goes to the bottom, pause for a sec or 2 then start from the beginning).

Thanks for your help.

@robertybob I agree I don't see the benefit of update from source for most. I do wonder if perhaps devs use it to check how latest updates imact themes, functions etc.

I have no idea. I don't see the benefit personally but I'm sure someone may be able to advise the purpose of it

@mrskyle clean-look is updated with a wonderswancolor theme now. You should be able to get the latest by updating through es-themes.

@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! :)

@jdrassa great! I will give this a try!

Thank you

or, even better:

topic tools > ask as question
then
topic tools > mark as solved.

i've done this for you :)

@rookervik indeed - humour on my side and hype-mongering
fonts and illustrations were made by my friend

the font is free to use nonetheless
i bet he'd be interested in contributing specifically to retropie in one form or another

so i went ahead and was able to access the theme but still have a problem. the theme displays incorrectly with just white background and black or blue text. Its the Retrorama v 1.75 theme

Hum, yeah looking at the code I won't understand enough how it's done to get something done by myself ^^

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

@scoularis that command should be indentical to using the built in method.

@mitu thanks very much!
