Chicuelo Theme

EctoOne

@pootis-spencer Try adding the following lines before the final </theme>tag in the theme.xml

<feature supported="carousel">
<view name="system">
 <image name="logo2" extra="true">
	<path>./_assets/logos/${system.theme}.svg</path>
	<origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
	<pos>0.232 0.415</pos>
	<color>4f5159</color>
	<maxSize>0.16 0.16</maxSize>
 </image>

 <image name="logo">
	<color>eeeeee</color>
 </image>
 <carousel name="systemcarousel">
	<type>horizontal</type>
	<color>00000000</color>
	<origin>0.5 1</origin>
	<pos>0.5 1</pos>
	<size>1 0.08</size> 
	<logoScale>0.7</logoScale>
	<logoSize>0.3 0.075</logoSize>
	<maxLogoCount>7</maxLogoCount>
 </carousel>
</view>
</feature>

This will replace the orignal carousel with a static logo and will change the carousel to a horizontal version on the bottom of the screen with white colored logos.

@ectoone I did that but the logos on the bottom horizontal bar are too big as you can see in this picture.

You can also use the indicator system that is disabled but included in the theme
you have to use a indicator file for each system that will display the position on the screen. You can replace with a system logo or even a scroll bar

pootis spencer

Yea but I really wanted the same that @Wildfire posted hence the bar at the bottom. I think it really finishes it off.

pootis spencer

@chicuelo Sorry just read again what you posted. I will try that thanks.

@pootis-spencer
I think there is no space for the logos at the bottom, a dot indicator was the best choice for me, but works for my build because I have no more than 15 systems

You can try to fix it by changing the <logoSize> and the amout of systems with <maxLogoCount>. Like @chicuelo said, the space is very limited. Also from what I can see @Wildfire changed the size of the character images and repositioned the controller images to make some room, so you can try that as well.

pootis spencer

Thanks for your help guys. I will have a play around with it.

pootis spencer

Ok I have managed to shift up the controller image and also shrink the character image but I just wondered if anyone can contact @wildfire to see if he would share his mod of this theme? I cant see how to message him on here and he was online today. I think his mod is just perfect and I don't really have the time or patience to try and do it myself, especially the different character images. They just look amazing and seem to pop off the screen.
Can anyone contact him please or even replicate it?

@pootis-spencer This is my config:
<carousel name="systemcarousel">
<logoSize>0.215 0.065</logoSize>
<maxLogoCount>6</maxLogoCount>

i also moved the helpbar to not seeing position:
<helpsystem name="help">
<pos>0.05 1.97</pos>

my controllers Position and Size:
<image name="controller" extra="true">
<path>./_assets/controllers/${system.theme}.png</path>
<pos>0.9795 0.935</pos>
<size>0.235 0.360</size>

than i have updated my imagesize from some logos to fit.

You can just turn the helpsystem off in the options, just FYI.

Sorry if this has been asked, but how do I add a pic in for the SG-1000?

pootis spencer

@a-bored-ninja It should already have one for SG-1000 its in the _assets/characters folder.
The only one I have found thats missing is videopac if anyone has one

A Bored Ninja

@pootis-spencer I'll have to check it out. It isn't showing up on the Pi.

chicuelo

@a-bored-ninja
Check the name you have on that system, It has to match exactly with the theme's name folder "sg-1000" (minus characters)

A Bored Ninja

@chicuelo I'll do that. The system shows up, just no pic.

chicuelo

@a-bored-ninja Sorry I just checked, there is no sg-1000 theme yet. The controller and character image are not in the theme. The logo and the background re displayed but there is no controller and character Art

A Bored Ninja

@chicuelo Ah. Okay. I'm not crazy then. Haha. Will that be something you add soon?

Great theme, by the way!
