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! :)

Man! You can’t beat the support here. Although the CD-i stuff doesn’t pertain to me, Art Book is by far my favorite theme for my RPi. Always. Thanks again a million times @alphatoanant

@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 Thanks for your response! I will pull the newest version of the theme right away. Hype!

@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

@Rookervik well, that is true, you have a really good and valid point there; pardon me 😁
