@Tomaz Seriously, the amount of fat you trimmed from ES was absurd - I did not recall (but now I do :D ) the amount of time ES took to compile!

Unfortunately, yes, it is

It turns out that md_lbl and md_ need to have seperate size values for the "X" for some reason... it seems to be fixed now:

@Bluebotlabs If it's not in the documentation, then it's not supported.

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.

@EctoOne I second this, I've requested this before. It makes sense to have boxart and a screenshot option in detail view using the md_marquee. this could give people the option of displaying either static (screenshot) or video view, while still displaying the boxart.

Plus - for my personal preference, i could turn off my annoying fan noise when using screenshots lol.

@herb_fargus Thanks! Will check it out

Just thought i'd mention it here. OTF works natively. No need for conversion.

@pacdude Any update on your new theme?

@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! :)

@jesseblue said in [Theme] Art Book:

I love this theme!! :D But i think the main menu is a little bit to clean.

Would something like this be possible with ES? The background image is from the "bichromatic pads" collection of retroarch.

Hello and thank you for such an ellegant theme.
Is there a way to have this background per system with the joypad activated?
Is there a way to activate a custom splashscreen while launching every different system? I have a custom launching jpg at this moment for my chosen systems.

@Zigurana If you want, maybe I can take a look when my job on the grid view will be "finished". I start to understand well this part of the code base.

@alphatoanant Cheers!

@jdrassa
As part of the theming-refactoring, I have started to split out the carousel into it's own GuiComponent-based class.

This gets complicated real quickly, as the carousel should also take care of member population, input handling (incl the texture loading/unloading), so I had dropped it again for now. Things move slow enough as it is X-).

But anyway, if you want me to send you the stubs, let me know.

Btw: if I read the OP correctly, this also is a CR for an 'automatic' carousel, in the sense that it will move through the contained members on a time interval?

@Zigurana
Thank you for the clarification.
I feel like that is the better and more flexible option for themeing.

@LiveFastCyYoung Glad to hear that was sorted. 160 - or 16 - would have certainly been a problem.

I doubt that would have impacted ES from source, though, as this is just about GPU memory, but I don't know much - maybe you have other things there that are impacting the overall memory.

Glad this is sorted now.

@Keigan I take full responsibility

I'm looking all through the code and have a tough time pin pointing where it is located. I'm not a big C++ guy but I'm decent at reading code.

This must be fairly easy for someone who is competent in C++, anyone else I'm certain I'm not the only person interested in this idea, maybe we can all work together...

I loved this theme. I am planning on make a fork just to change some preferences, like not force uppercase. Congrats and thank you
