The last I saw from @A12C4 was that it wasn't expected that grid view was going to be moved to the stable branch any time soon. Not sure if that changes the calculus of porting the theme to grid view.

That's not too much of a problem, I'd seen the same post from @A12C4 as well but I'm sure it will move to the main branch eventually and in the meantime I can just have the gridview version of the theme as a separate download probably hosted on mega.nz for those who want to try it - kind of like a beta version.

@ruckage Great theme. Is there a way to change the spacing between the main menu items, so it looks like the old nes mini theme?

I'm not sure what you mean, could you clarify what you mean by main menu?

@ruckage Where you select the system. In the nes mini theme 5 systems fit on the screen. Now the spacing between those is a bit wider, so the left and right system is a bit cut off.

I see what you mean, that was a deliberate decision to have the icons slightly off screen but if you want to change it you can but you'll need to manually modify the setup.xml file. You can find it in the layouts folder of the theme.

Find this section in the setup.xml file:

		<carousel name="systemcarousel">
			<pos>-0.05 0.3</pos>
			<size>1.1 0.4</size>
			<logoSize>0.2 0.3851851851851852</logoSize>
			<maxLogoCount>5</maxLogoCount>
			<zIndex>101</zIndex>
		</carousel>

And change it to this (the pos and size lines are the modified parts).

		<carousel name="systemcarousel">
			<pos>0 0.3</pos>
			<size>1 0.4</size>
			<logoSize>0.2 0.3851851851851852</logoSize>
			<maxLogoCount>5</maxLogoCount>
			<zIndex>101</zIndex>
		</carousel>

Hi @ruckage u plan update this awesome theme, with new system: 3DO, Wii, GameCube and etc???

Hi @ruckage ! I have adding scummvm games to the retropie, and it seems is it not supported by your theme. Is there any way I could clone one of your system (for example dos box, pc games or whatever) and use it as the style of scummvm, creating an icon by my own? How could I do that?

hhromic

+10 to officially adding ScummVM games support to your great theme, @ruckage !
no rush, though ;)

Is there an option to stretch images as on your Mega-tech theme?Excellent update to the theme.

ruckage

Hi. Sorry for the late reply.

@wmarcio, @Carcayu, @hhromic

Yes, new systems will be added soon. I have some changes I need to make but then I think what I'll do is add 1-2 new systems per week. I'll ask on here each week so users can vote on which system to add next so that way the most wanted systems are added first.

Not currently as it wouldn't be as useful on this theme as the preview area is a square, on the Megatech theme the preview area is 4:3 so it makes sense for standard 4:3 games.

hhromic

@ruckage Looking forward! :D thanks for your great work

Thanks a lot ruckage. I think it is the best way to create the best theme for the community.

@ruckage thxs for work, i use your theme in the PI retropie version, and a weeks ago i buy a dell 3020m core I5 to use with retropie, and your theme fits sweet. Many thxs for tour work.

Hi, just made an account to thank you for the work you've done on this, Ruckage - I hadn't touched my pi in over a year but got back into tinkering after pairing your theme with that new Retroflag Superpi case, they really complement eachother nicely.

Regarding other systems, probably not a priority but it would be really cool to have a Mega Drive icon based on the Japanese models and branding, as alternative to the European one you've already done, same same goes for the Mega CD and 32X. Maybe even the Sega Mark III as an alternate for the Master System?

Just a thought, I imagine you want to prioritise those systems without any icon at all for the timebeing.

@ruckage is the sharp x68000 under those systems youre adding? Just wondering if it is...

ruckage

@nestor1924 @HughJass

Hi. I'm basically open to make whatever systems are requested but it will be based on popularity. I'll probably do a weekly vote and the winning system will get made that week, that way I'll eventually get around to everything but the most wanted systems will be added first.

danielmewhouse

Hi @ruckage, long time no see!!! Wow man, how this theme gets evolved!!! I'm using the old version that has no grid view. Are you planning add 4:3 support for grid view too? Your theme is THE BEST on my opinion. Congrats for the great work!!!

MapleStory

Would like to throw in another vote for Sharp x68k. It's really one of the best damn things available on the pi! Keep up the great work, @ruckage!
