My personal spin to tronkyfran is now completed and available for downlod
-
I did a fairly large rework of the tronkyfran theme and added some stuff to it stealing a little from the default theme. Its available here: https://github.com/cowboyjeeper/tronkyjared
It supports most of the systems I found, as well as the new auto-favorites and other auto generated menus.
I put in both the logo & controller on the header in the detailed view. As well as using (and creating a few new ones) system images from tronkyfran.
Changes/Improvements:
- Added support for the auto generated UI lists (Favorite, last played, all)
- All fonts come from main XML file to make it easier to edit
- All spacing comes from main XML file to make it easier to edit and make the auto generated stuff work better
- New console pictures added to a few that were missing
- Left hand list (My personal preference)
- slightly enlarged game picture area
- Added the controller to the header so you can see what it used to look like
- Modified some logos slightly
Here are some sample pics of the atari 2600

Great work. I have always liked the Tronkyfran theme but thought it as incomplete since it is missing more system consoles. The game list menu can also be difficult to read due to background and text color in contrast. Your theme corrects this. :-)
Since the theme does copy some assets/stuff from the original, does that comply with the developer of the original Tronkyfran theme?
Thank you for your work.

Yes it does comply with the developer of original due to me keeping their license agreement intact as well as giving credit to them for much of the work. As far as I can tell this was the requirements I needed to meet to use their work to make my own.

@cowboyjeeper Alright then thank you again for your work. I will check it out later. :-)

Instead of creating a new repo, you can fork the original repo and make your changes, that way people can see what modifications you've made to the original via the commit history

To be honest I completely re-wrote a lot of the XML and renamed a lot of images to make my life easier so that they had common names. Its mostly the artwork that I used... Not sure it would be useful to branch like that in this instance. This really is almost a new theme just using the images from tronkyfran, I did most of that work for simplification. The XML files for each system are much more common now, its really the simple.xml file that does most of the work.
Oh and thanks for the images ;-)
