@lilbud Good stuff lilbud :D

@meleu http://i.imgur.com/vSiUQjm.png what about this?

[meleu]

@lilbud the d-pad and the buttons are transparent, so it doesn't look fine with Carbon theme, for example...

[lilbud]

@meleu I will fix it soon, I am not home at the moment.

[meleu]

@lilbud and what about that numbers inside the pads?
Let's wait you get at home...

[lilbud]

@meleu I will get on that

[meleu]

@lilbud hahaha. That Squidward Quincy Tentacles video was funny!
I mean the numbers inside the pads, not outside like the old. :-)

@lilbud about the d-pad and buttons (and now the numbers) transparency:

[lilbud]

@meleu this should be the white svg

@lilbud (let me know if I'm acting like the Bubble Budy. (yeah! I think I am))
Can the d-pad, buttons and numbers be opaque?
The transparency between the controllers are good, but the inside the controllers (d-pad and buttons) it looks strange (getting the background colors).

[lilbud]

@meleu what exactly do you mean? Post a screenshot. I will be leaving for a game soon. I'll get it when I get back

[meleu]

@lilbud
Screenshots with different themes. The transparency issue is more visible in the first two.

@meleu Cheers for giving MetaPixel a try. Any thoughts or critiques for me?

Also, I'm working on something special that I think has been lacking from the Theme Scene, but it's going to take me a little time.

[lilbud]

@mattrixk does anyone it have anything to do with grid view?

Unfortunately not. @jacobfk20 Came out with his Emulationstation Mad a couple of days after I posted my theme, and now I'm working on something else, I haven't had the chance to make any changes to it. I'd like to add support for Grid View, and it probably wouldn't be too hard or take too long, but I just don't have the time at the moment.

Also, I do my theme coding on a portable Windows version of ES, so I can't install @jacobfk20's mod to try it out , and my Pi pulls it's main duty as a Kodi box in the lounge, so I don't get to keep it at my computer to play with as often as I would like.

There will be an update for MetaPixel soon, but the 'something special' I mentioned in my last post takes precedence at the moment.

Well... I didn't like the font that much...

Heh, that's a fair enough point. I quite like it myself, but I can see it not being everyone's cup of tea. When I update the theme, I might install another 2 or 3 fonts and then the user can select the one they want. I should be able to make it pretty simple on the user. Do you like the font used in @Rookervik's original Pixel theme?

Is there anything else? I like it and use it myself, but I haven't really heard what anyone else thinks of it, so I don't know what other people want fixed. I'm going to start making a To-Do list for the next release.

[jacobfk20]

@mattrixk This branch https://github.com/jacobfk20/EmulationStation/tree/Gridview Is windows friendly. It Only has Grid View and is hopefully more stable. Though I don't have a pre compiled version for windows.

[mattrixk]

@jacobfk20 Awesome. I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to try it out though. I've been home with sickness on and off for the last fortnight, so I had a chance to work on MetaPixel and start some other stuff, but I'm back at work now, so my time is limited again.
