Chicuelo Theme
-
@chicuelo Thanks, I'll link the page to you once I upload the theme.
-
Wow lots going on here. What's the TLDR? Big update to this theme? Theme split into two versions?
-
@ohmycommodore Not at all! I am only porting the theme to AM. Theme is Chicuelo's hard work and all the credit rests with him, something which will be listed in very clear words in my repo.
-
Chicuelo made some updates to the theme by adding a load of new character images, which makes the theme extensively supported - there are only a handful of systems missing now.
I also made a few tweaks to the theme.xml to improve a couple of things, so there has been plenty of discussion happening.
Also other users are making variations of the theme and putting together their own ports, and everything is being pasted in this thread - so there are a lot of posts!
Cheers

Hi guys
I have downloaded this "Chicuelo" theme and I really love it, its my favourite theme by far.
But I was wondering how do I change the color of the text at the bottom of the screen? Its very dark grey coloured font, but cant see it very well. I wanted to make it appear white. Can anyone tell me how do you do that?
Also if there is an update to the theme please with new features etc, please if someone post the link where I can get the newest version.
thanks

You can just update the theme from the RetroPie script to get a new version.

Do you know how I can change the color of the text that appears on the botton of the screen? its dark grey text, but the problem is the background color is grey aswell. So it blends into background. What would I need to change in config etc?

@Winklepicker
If you update the theme (delete and install again) you will get the updated files and lot of new stuff. The help text is also whiter now -
Wich would you use guys?

@chicuelo the guy on the left looks more like the actual metal slug art
-
@BJRetro I was wondering which one fits better on the whole theme. Mostly characters are smiling and more naif, this is a bit more aggressive so Im looking other options

@BJRetro
I think this is going to be the final one, I made some changes on the face, hair, boots, stroke and color adjustments -
@chicuelo with the simplyfied theme options the user can change the detailed view to look like in this request:https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15830/chicuelo-theme/575
(Use metadata and game description instead of system logo and description). So the user won't have to look at this thread to find the code I posted to achieve that look and paste it in the theme.xml
An alternative option is to use the games logo instead of the system logo when using video view, this can be combined with the game description code.I can't remember if I had any other options and I also had no time yet to work on this.

Thank you for the information, does this apply on emulationstation or attract mode only?
I wanted to use chicuelo theme, but I use emulationstation only, I dont use attact mode.
How can I view the "game description" information to show on emulationstation chicuelo theme instead of the logo?
Also I wanted to try and mod this theme, what would I need to do in order to change the "scrolling" logo's that appear for each system to color? eg the mame logo displays grey, but how can I change it to show blue instead etc.
any info would be great, thank you

@Wildfire Hows your modified theme going?
-
@Wildfire I'm also very anxious to see how wonderful that was ...

Any thought put into differentiating the Famicom and Famicom Disk Systems? They have the same logo and characters.
Not sure what you could use as the character but the logo could be changed to something more like this...
