Switch Theme

Syhles

@lilbud
It's had fairly good development over the last six months, I'm not going to say that added a bunch of the things I've been wanting but they've adding stuff, we can sort games now and style the carousel.

lilbud

@AlexMurphy I probably will be back, but no more themes like this one, with 60 custom icons.

@Syhles A PS3 theme would probably be impossible, at least in ES. But it could definitely be done in @fluffypillow's Pegasus front end. Which I will take a stab at theme creation

Also, ES had made a ton of improvements since when I started with retropie 2.6, but, what else could be done that you want to see?

AlexMurphy

@lilbud No problem, totally understand but keep busy! Idle hand are the devil's playground!

@lilbud said in Switch Theme (WIP):

making a theme is very time consuming, at least a whole week

Hah, the Indent theme took me about 4 months to make.

AlexMurphy

@mattrixk Yeah... I laughed at that too! You obviously don't have the work ethic of young people these days.

A Former User

@AlexMurphy I'm one of those young people.

mattrixk

@AlexMurphy I think the problem is I have too much work ethic. I actually do work while I'm at work. I also lack any sort of free time, due to work and family obligations.

The only time I get to do ES related stuff is during my lunch break at work and on the nights at home after everyone else has gone to bed.

lilbud

@mattrixk Just replace work with school and you got my life.

In the next 3 weeks, I got 10 tests/final exams. I hope to get this theme done by the end of this week, and the dark variant done shortly after.

mattrixk

@lilbud Yikes. I'm so glad I finished schooling years ago. Good luck!

You'll get an idea and won't be able to stop yourself.

How do you think this theme came about?

lilbud

ARE YOU READY TO BETA?!?!

This is the first beta release of the Switch theme, a few things to mention:

This is only a beta release, this is by no means finished
This only supports 6 systems at the moment, this was done so I had less systems to make changes to
If you have any bugs/glitches/crashes, post an issue on the GitHub. No angry mobs, please. :)

@itsnitro Where in the hell do you go to school? The magical land of Narnia?

A Former User

@lilbud No, Northern Virginia.

@itsnitro That's Insane, I have 3 Biology finals in the next few weeks. 2 Spanish Finals. 2 Math finals, etc.

A Former User

I mean, considering I'm only in 7th grade, it's easier for me. :D
State tests (we call them SOLs) are finally over. Thank god they don't count on our report cards.

lilbud

@itsnitro ah, I'm in 10th grade. Considering that you're in middle School, 1 final makes sense.

mattrixk

@itsnitro @lilbud stop it you two, you're making me feel old.

lilbud

@mattrixk Okay, We'll get off your lawn.

Did you download the beta theme?

A Former User

@lilbud What's cool is that I'm doing 9th grade math. Algebra.

Ok I'll stop and download the beta theme.

lilbud

@itsnitro Just saying, you are going to hate Geometry.
