Switch Theme 3.0 (UPDATED 08/12/18)

lilbud

@natanpi Thats the name! Dwaynes name slipped my mind for a while.

@lilbud Is it possible to port your theme to BATOCERA OS? They forked the RetroPie ES and your theme is ideal for small devices!
As last step it can be integrated into their theme downloader

mitu

@cyperghost Didn't they implement in their ES fork some kind of compatibility with the RetroPie fork, so the themes used in RetroPie would work also in Batocera ?

cyperghost

@mitu
Yes ... it works.
Therefore I kindly ask for permission to fork.

But on my second "test" system is a 7" DSI display with BATOCERA on it. And there the theme lacks. I've reenabled the help system and need to set bottom and top lines.

No worries - RetroPie is still my main system ;)

I know this may sound dumb, but how do switch to the dark theme?

mitu

@Adolfo Re-read the first post - you need to edit the theme.xml file.

Adolfo

@mitu I opened the theme.xml file but don't know what to edit exactly.

lilbud

@Adolfo where it says "light.xml", change that to say "dark.xml"

Adolfo

@lilbud that's what I tried looking for but I don't find a line that says that. I'm using notepad++ and tried searching for it and didn't find it that way either.

lilbud

@Adolfo It's near the top, right under the contact info

@Wolverine1977 That would be awesome, I find it's best for a CRT-Screen only to have the Games list and a BigImage.

mitu

Hello,

I like this theme very well, very good work.
is it possible to choose a background picture instead of just one color?

lilbud

@Gremko I guess so. You'd have to heavily modify the theme to do so though.

dugo3number2

@mitu can you remove this plz

dugo3number2

@lilbud Bug report: The buttons aren't showing regardless of what theme you are using

lilbud

@dugo3number2 any errors or anything in the es log txt?

Gremko

@dugo3number2 is only if Xbox Buttons are set, go with Playstation Buttons, at least for me.

dugo3number2

@lilbud No, nothing. @Gremko I will try PS buttons, although I have an Xbox controller.
