Chicuelo Theme
-
@chicuelo Are you planning on publishing your Epic Noir/Chicuelo hybrid theme soon?
I am excited to download it!
-
@A-Bored-Ninja Im still considering, because some people told me the epic noir was too heavy for their sons, and It would nice to have a child-friendly theme and a more adult one. I think I could make an alternative folder with the adult variant and let the user swap between images
-
@chicuelo Great idea! The images are easy enough to swap out.
-
I have created a hybrid of nostsoepicnoir and @chiculeo 's artwork. I have also changed the system text to show the system logo and changed the controller image to show an image of the console/computer.
I don't know how to generate finished images from the pi. If anybody can tell me how to do this I will happily upload screenshots.
Or I could take photos?

You can use
raspi2png
to grab a screenshot - https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png. It's a command line utility, so you should have SSH enabled. -
Have clicked the link and I notice that it says new build for Raspbian Buster. I am still using Stretch as I did install RetroPie 4.6 but didn't get on well with it so downgraded back to 4.5.
Will this still work?
Kind Regards

Yes, the installer compiles the application from source, so it works on both systems.
-
@PittStone nice theme but i would of replaced the image of Sakura for like Marco from Metal Slug for the NGP.
-
Do I copy the folder over to the pi and then do the sudo install etc from my PC using Putty?
Which folder would be best..? RetroPie-setup be OK?

@CCFox Follow the simple install steps - it's a single command you need to execute.
-
Followed the instructions and I'm sorry I haven't a clue how to use this program.
I don't know much about Linux at all.

I think I've sussed it although I can't tell for sure......
I just treated it like an ffmpeg instruction and the command ran without an error but no idea if it has worked or not as I don't know where the png file would be saved.

@CCFox just run it like this:
raspi2png -p $HOME/RetroPie/roms/capture.png
then browse theroms
file share on\\retropie
to view the screenshot. -
@Jimiga Your theme looks great and I agree about the year only thing looking better.

Thank you for that. Works a treat. Your help is appreciated.
Here are the screenshots of some of the theme that I have tweaked NOT created.
I am working on the other systems as we speak and will update on my progress hopefully later this evening.
Kind Regards

I recently installed this awesome theme but shmups is nowhere to be found on the list when I want to create a new custom collection from theme. Does anybody have clue why this is?
-
@brigane Did you maybe capitalised the collection name (Shmups vs shmups) ? In
\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation\collections
you should have a.cfg
file for each collection, you can check there. -
@mitu That was it. Thank you so much! :)
-
@chicuelo I was wondering if you knew how I might be able to get in touch with the game controller artists? I'm working on a theme, and I was hoping to be able to use their controller art in my theme.
Nice work by the way, your theme is beautiful :)
-
@setiawan You can contact them on dribbble, behance or mail just like I did and ask for their permissons
