Chicuelo Theme

Setiawan

@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 :)

chicuelo

@setiawan You can contact them on dribbble, behance or mail just like I did and ask for their permissons

@chicuelo Any chance you could add PS3? Maybe GTA V themed...

@johnodon You could easily add Ps3, just duplicate ps2 folder, rename and change the character image!

hello @chicuelo

your theme is just awesome!!! I really really love it!

I have a question:

In UI settings theme menu i have set "video" in order to show also the video for the selected game.
It works perfectly.
But in this modality i have noticed that are shown "screenshot" image before the video is played, but i'd like to see "box art" image insted of screenshot.

Is there possibility to configure it?

Thanks

@gerry_keys
It depends on how you scraped your images, some scrapers get you a in game capture and others the box art.
Maybe you have to try changing some of this tags (currently "md_image" is working)

Image = box art
marquee = game logo
thumbnail = screenshot of gameplay that will then transition to video.

<view name="basic, detailed, grid">
 <image name="md_image">
	<origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
	<pos>0.6925 0.3915</pos>
	<maxSize>0.4167 0.5556</maxSize>
 </image>
</view>

<feature supported="video">
<view name="video">
 <video name="md_video">
	<origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
	<pos>0.6925 0.3915</pos>
	<maxSize>0.4167 0.5556</maxSize>
	<delay>1.5</delay>
	<showSnapshotNoVideo>true</showSnapshotNoVideo>
	<showSnapshotDelay>true</showSnapshotDelay>
 </video>

i have this situation in my gamelist.xml for a game:

<image>./media/screenshot/10th Frame (USA).png</image>
<thumbnail>./media/box2dfront/10th Frame (USA).png</thumbnail>
<video>./media/videos/10th Frame (USA).mp4</video>

image is the screenshot in game
thumbnail is the box front image
video is the video of the game

If i choose "detailed" view modality i can see the box art of the game (without video).

If i choose "video" view modality then i can see the "image" (screenshot in game) and after few second the video.
I'd like to see the "thumbnail" image in this modality.
Is there a possibilty?

chicuelo

@gerry_keys not sure but if you switch the tags <image> and <thumbnail> in your gamelist and set it to video?
Now the thumbnails will be the game screen and the image the box art

@chicuelo

ok, i thought so too. Thanks for the help!

Loading screens: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1spB3GkRqiOST4Mmv6IrDqEPKgJeKxHMM

Subfolders: colour / grey include the saved png's

There is a PSD in the main folder that is set up you just need to throw the logos in, resize and change the colour. The fonts used are also in the main folder.

For the grey theme the hex values for the colours are

Logo: #F8F8F8
Bottom Text: #A5A5A5
Background: #4D4F5B

Anyone can use this to make the loading screens look how you please

They seem to be offline. Did anyone save them or can anyone recommend other loading screens that also fit to this theme?

Also I want to add some custom systems and collections. I want to add this:

Systems:

Openbor
Adventure Game Studio
Solarus
MSU-1

Collections:

Lightgun
Fan-Translations
Rom-HAcks
Mario
Metroid
Zelda
Japanese games
Multiplayer Highlights
Maniac Mansion Mania Series
Kunio Kun
Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy
Pokémon
Mega Man
Harvest Moon
Castlevania
Harry Potter

I already saw screenshots for some of those. Where can I find them?
I am okay with creating them of my own. Can anyone recommend some sources for the artwork, logos, controllers?
Is there a guide for how I have (file format, dimensions...) to prepary the character, logo and controller artwork?
@chicuelo in previous versions you have some alternative artworks. Maybe I could use some of them for my custom selection. Can you share them?

Last I also would like to have Bezels as well es a Boot up Splash screen that fits to the theme. Can anyone recommend things that are fit to this theme?

chicuelo

@kitn 4. Maybe some 3rd users contributions?
