Hi @dookieshooter,

Apologies for late reply. I didn't have notifications on and have been busy with other things.

is it possible to get videos to play in grid view?

As far as I know it is not possible to have videos in grid view, unless any dev update has been done on the RetroPie EmulationStation Repo to add this feature to EmulationStation as the original is not maintained anymore. If you've found a way I am interested as well to incorporate this in GridView

@dookieshooter said in Tronkyfran Dark plus:

is it possible to remove the detail window ( I assume that I can just remove that from the theme The dimming of the non selected games is a little aggressive. Possible to change that behavior?

Both are Possible for 1, in the "main" Theme.xml you'll have to remove all unwanted tags/elements within the <view name="system"> </view> tags.

For the grid non selected games dimming you can adjust backgroundEdgeColor

<gridtile name="default"> <backgroundEdgeColor>000000BB</backgroundEdgeColor> </gridtile>

The 000000 is HEX code for black the BB is code for the alpha channel. You can change this to whatever you like to get another (even colored) dimming effect. See here for some more explanation on HEX with Alpha.

@Folly I'll give that a shot.

@pockketz yes its possible, make sure you create a new folder for your combination and not overwriting existing files. Copy the file "simple.xml", the "art" folder, and any other lose file in the Tronkyfran folder to the new folder, then copy all the folders (except art folder) from carbon to the new theme folder.

It looks like the paths for those two themes are the same, but expect many parameters to be off, such as text and images being misaligned. So you will likely need to read up on themes here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme

i found out how to fix the problem see- <removed>, but thanks anyways guys

Yep! All set!

@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

The video preview are not working for me !!!! I use carbon and all i have is images as usual but no video preview !!

I have already done the update and upgrade but still nothing

@Spectreman I agree that the white screen bug is not fixed, however it has been improved immensely. The performance after the upgrade was significant, so I would consider it a major performance upgrade, but not necessarily a fix. More work still needs to be done for sure, but there are a lot of cool projects going on right now as well. You should be able to run trokyfran on a Pi3 with standard configs with 14 systems without an issue. I would again try to adjust your VRAM up or down in small amounts. Maybe 120 or 80 would work. You never shared what pi model you are running, power supply, do you have any modifications to your settings? Have you changed your gpu settings? Overclocked?
