@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?

@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.

[A Former User]

Crap.

[lilbud]

@itsnitro This is the stuff you will probably do

Find "X"

Coincidentally, we're doing conjugates.

Ok, we should steer this back to topic.

@lilbud hahahahahahahahaha, at school they tell you to learn this crap, nowadays I just get an app to do it for me. All you then have to remember is to keep your phone charged!

but seriously, you're making us old guys feel out of date, shhhhh

[mattrixk]

@spruce_m00se I've never once used any of that outside of school.

My teachers used to say "you have to learn this. You won't be walking around with a calculator in your pocket."

How wrong they were.

[lilbud]

@mattrixk @spruce_m00se When a teacher first said that we would not be carrying calculators everywhere, the Nintendo Wii was not even out yet, and the IPhone was still a year out.

There, now I will get off your lawn

[spruce_m00se]

@lilbud lol. The Genesis wasnt out when I got told not to use a Calculator. I still consider the WII to be new.

the turquoise font color looks kinda bright and therefore barely readable on the screenshots otherwise i like it and can't wait for the dark version

[lilbud]

@EctoOne It easier to see on an actual tv, I captured the screenshots from the Windows version in windowed mode. So they don't look that good.

@EctoOne said in Switch Theme:

can't wait for the dark version

Your wish has been granted

@lilbud Very nice. One thing is bothering me tho. The rating stars isn't centered below the description textbox but i guess i could fix that myself if i ever get time again to actually update retropie.

Edit: Just added <alignment>center</alignment> to the description and i like it more, now i just have to center the developer, releasedate, genre and players to make i look less blocky.

[lilbud]

@EctoOne Could you post a screenshot?

[EctoOne]

@lilbud nope, haven't done it yet. Only added the alignment thing because it was quick to do.

Ok, i've updated my Pi and took another look at your theme. And i'm really diggin it. Yet i found another problem. You have X = Random on the background but IDK if i'm missing something but for me it's not working and i probably won't use it anyways. SO i would prefer if it would say B = Back (at least in detailedview and completely remove it from systemview). Another small detail i want to mention, why not use the same image for systemview and detailed,video? You have bg.png and systembg.png in your assets folder but they are the same. So you could remove one and just change it in the switch.xml. But maybe if you remove/change the X Button thing i mentioned it's nessessary to have a seperate image then.
