Switch Theme

@Syhles Yeah, I got allergies and Asthma, so as you could imagine, this time of year is not the best time for me.

The next 3 weeks are going to be awful, I got finals in June, exams next week, etc.

[lilbud]

I just finished up the backgrounds for both the Light and Dark variants of the theme, take a look:

You might notice that there is no D-pad button prompt in the footer. On the light theme, you can tell what buttons are left and right/up and down. There is a clear difference in color. On the dark theme, the difference is less noticeable. So I took it out.

Looking good, cant wait to see a beta version :) thanks for your efforts!

[lilbud]

25 Icons done, 38 more to go

[Syhles]

@lilbud
They look nice! Looking forward to using this theme.

Are you planning on doing a pc-engine and pc-engine cd logo?

[lilbud]

@Syhles probably, as long as I can find an SVG of those logos, I can make them.

For the sega master system you should remove the "sega" and just have it say master system.

[Syhles]

@lilbud
I forget which theme has them but there is svgs for both of them.

@lilbud You need help with this?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro Thanks, but no thanks. I will try to finish these today or tomorrow. The whole theme should be done in a week or so. Providing testing and finals don't get in the way.

[lilbud]

All of the icons are done

[Syhles]

@lilbud
That was fast, do you have any screenshots or mockups for the gamelist?

Looking forward to using the theme.

Also good luck with the finals!

[lilbud]

@Syhles

This is a screenshot from the launchbox version, so certain things will not be in the ES version, like the single icon for ratings, or the stars to identify favorites

[Syhles]

@lilbud
I will definitely be using this.

I wish we were able to use more metadata images in themes.

@lilbud Can't wait to see the finished product. Only thing I would say looking at the systems briefly is that you should go with GCE rather than MB for the Vectrex as GCE were the original licensed distributor.

@AlexMurphy

[AlexMurphy]

@lilbud Sorry to be a stickler but MB just remind me of crappy board games. Stick both in the Vectrex folder and people can decide. I think most would choose GCE.

@lilbud Also... should you not be studying? Anyway I also think the PC Engine / TG16 icons should really be branded NEC rather than Hudson. The system was jointly developed, Hudson being more on the software side and NEC the hardware.

@AlexMurphy said in Switch Theme (WIP):

In the words of Squidward Tentacles: "If you need anything else, please hesitate to ask."

I should be studying, but the week before finals, the teachers do review on everything. Plus we get study time before the tests.

My finals are coming up soon, lucky enough I only have one, which is Math. ;-;
