Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

[chicuelo]

@Clipo You can manually rename the files, you can use space harrier on 32x and doom on mega cd, I think those who have one system don´t use the others

Love this theme, probably the most beautiful available for retropie!

Would be great if you can add graphics for CPS I, II, III, Atomiswave and Naomi.

@chicuelo hi mate - just wondering if you managed to pull anything together for fixing the order of the dots?

[chicuelo]

@potatoxbe Yes, I would upload them soon!

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 Yes, read the post where explains how to match. You have to rename the png files acording to your systems. It´s very easy!

To make the indicator work with your build, you have to rename the png files located in ../art/indicator/.png , acording to your es_system order:
If your first system is mame, you have to rename the png with the first white dot as "mame", if your second system is Neo Geo, you rename the png with the second white dot as "neogeo", and doing so until you achieve your systems with a limit of 16 systems.
In case you dont have a power menu, you can replace this item too. Retropie and favorites are already set.

@chicuelo thank you 👌

Now next I'm trying to get the shutdown working.

I've followed a guide but I'm struggling with this

Finally convert shutdown and reboot scripts within "~/Retropie/roms" into executable's by the commands:
a. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/ashutdown.sh
b. chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/power/reboot.sh

I'm getting permission denied when I try and execute them. So I think I've done something wrong!

Also the dots are fixed apart from power... Which is finding the right icon... But is being selected in alphabetic order... Rather than at the end

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 you need to reorder the power menu from the es_systems in order to be the system number 18 in your file

[Jste84]

@chicuelo still hasn't worked... I taking you mean going into etc/emulation station?

I moved it to after Nes (my 17th system?)

Should I be including systems I don't use.... Like amstrad for example?

[Jste84]

@Jste84 tried this too it's not working... So when I go through the indicators...it jumps from pc engine to power at the bottom them to psp...

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 What I mean is that power indicator is on the 18 position if you count from the first dot. you have to edit the es_systems.cfg to make the power menu appear in that position.

Your es_systems.cfg should have a structure like this: The systems will be displayed on your screen according the position you place the tags

<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 1
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 2
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 3
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 4
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 5
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 6
</system>
<system>
SYSTEM NUMBER 7
</system>

COMPLETE UNTILL YOU REACH 17 SYSTEMS
AND HERE PLACE THE POWER SYSTEM

[Jste84]

@chicuelo that's what I did and still no joy. It's in 18th place in that system list...

But when I scroll in retropie... Its jumping down to the power icon at the bottom of the screen after pc engine... then when I hit down again... It jumps up to the dot below pc engine.. (I think it's psx.)

It was doing that before I moved power from the bottom of es systems and it's still doing it after I moved to 18th position

[Jste84]

Is it because I have more than 18 systems? It's weird though as favourites and settings work fine...

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 Do you have configured your indicators properly? you have to rename them too, for example if you set mame as the first system, you have to rename the indicator with the first dot as mame, so if you decide to display mame first, you also make the indicator named mame display the dot in first place.
You have to do it with all 18 systems, auto favorites is always the last system showed so it will display automatically

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 Check the indicators folder now, we have updated them, its very easy to set up:

[Jste84]

@chicuelo I've renamed the indicators.. they all work perfectly apart from power.

[Jste84]

@Jste84 could it be because power isn't last in my indicators?

[Jste84]

[chicuelo]

@Jste84 It should work, if the name matches it has to be displayed.
The system is displayed but ain't the indicator?
Make sure you name the folder as "power" (case sensitive), you have also tu place the files on the roms directory inside a "power" folder.

[Jste84]

@chicuelo it is displayed... Just not in order.... Tried to video the end result... But I can't uploaded it even after shrinking

Thanks for your help... I'm not sure why it's not working.
