Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

mitu

@Mr-Berlin the proper theme size should be around 17 MB zipped and 19 MB unzipped. I just checked my GitHub page and the sizes are correct. Where did you see that 44.5 MB figure?

44.56 Mb is the download size for the repository's whole history + files:

git clone https://github.com/c64-dev/es-epicnoir
Cloning into 'es-epicnoir'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 865, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (865/865), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (404/404), done.

Receiving objects: 100% (865/865), 44.56 MiB | 1.61 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (252/252), done.

That's not an issue if you're downloading just the latest version:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/c64-dev/es-epicnoir
Cloning into 'es-epicnoir'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 382, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (382/382), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (288/288), done.

Receiving objects: 100% (382/382), 14.80 MiB | 1.66 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (91/91), done.

The latter method is used by the RetroPie scripts.

Hi, thanks for your work! The theme is amazing!

Please make a 4:3 version!

Thank you very much!

@Geier97332 As I had some free time this morning (being stuck @ home like the rest of the planet :P ) I worked on the 4:3 version and I got it ready.

Update:
The 4:3 version that people have been asking for is ready.
You can download it here: https://github.com/c64-dev/es-epicnoir/tree/43-version

As always, all comments and suggestions are very welcome. :)

Best thing I have heard all day! Thanks!

@chicuelo I want to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to get it to work by changing the font size to 0.180 in the sys_line2 section in each of the system's xml file. Pic below:

Thank you.

@sp, the reason behind the 3 digit font decimal was to try and get the font size as close as possible to Nico's original templates. However, RetroPie rounds up/down such numbers when rendering fonts, so there is no need for such decimals.
I only left them because they didn't seem to affect anything on my build.

However, since you seemed to have issues with them I'll go through all the xmls and fix them accordingly.

@lilbud had nothing to do with this theme. I don't know why he keeps being credited for creating the theme, but the theme was built by me

I was only credited because chicuelo put my name in the OP by accident. But apparently it was up long enough for people to be mistaken.

nil06

@lilbud I figured as much; no worries! It's all good. :)

chicuelo

Hi guys, we are fixing some issues with font sizes and it will be updated soon.
We also are sharing from now a 4:3 version (link on top)

chicuelo

@lilbud Sorry was my fault!

chicuelo

@SP @Mr-Berlin
The theme is updated and now it should be displayed fine. Please share your screens!

Hi, could this theme work on the pi4?

SP

@chicuelo Hey, I re-downloaded it and it is working. Thank you.

Also, since I use an Xbox One controller, is there a way I can change the enter button to display the B Button instead? I was able to do it in the game selection screen, but I can't seem to find a way to change it here. Pic below:

If it's not possible, then no worries.

chicuelo

@rajbhalsod Currently there are not official versions of Retropie for the Pi4. But of course it will work when they relase it.

chicuelo

@SP That Button is a svg file, if you have Illustrator you can do it!

Wildfire

Looks incredible! well done @chicuelo & @nil06.

Really like the rating, player count and genre in the lower bar! Very smart use of the screen space
