Carbon Light

Hmm, wondering if I can try something? What would happen if I removed the Meta Data names? Such as: "Released:, Developer:, Genre:," ? Would that be too confusing? So instead of this:

Released: 01/15/1997
Genre: Role Playing
Developer: Nintendo

It would look like this:

01/15/1997
Role Playing
Nintendo

This would make adjusting the elements WAY easier. And also anyone without meta data would see nothing, rather than a bunch of meta data names and no information.

I like that idea a lot, actually. I don't think it would be confusing. What else would those things mean? In some cases, I could see the developer being slightly confusing.

"I know plenty of people that own that game. It's not rare. It's pretty common." :P

@Flavor I'm working on it right now. Positioning the meta data is so hard. Each element is formatted a little differently, so you can't just line them all up and give them the same Y and X positioning. You have to tweak each one. -_- Also, you can't give them justification... such as: right, center, left... like you can in some of the other tags. This is another reason meta data sucks a-hole.

I HATE META DATA! Hahahaha! It's really hard to make it look good.

Ok, I think this theme is pretty much finished. If anyone could check the RetroPie menu for me, that would be great. I've got Pipplware installed at the moment, which has RetroPie installed but tweaked a little, so I'm missing the RetroPie menu. >_< On the plus side, the theme works on Pipplware. Haha.

This looks really nice, will the text for unscraped lists be as big on a small screen as carbon is?

Rookervik

@Belowstupid At the moment, yes. Detailed and Basic screens should have the same font size. What are your concerns?

Belowstupid

@Rookervik I use Carbon Centered for my adafruit 2.8" tft screen because it's the only theme with text big enough to comfortably read. I'd prefer to use a brighter theme like this if the text were big enough.

@Belowstupid Check this thread out. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2700/low-resolution-theme

@Rookervik Curious if this theme will be getting video support. Still my go to theme as it supports all the platforms I use. Thanks for your work! :)

Rookervik

@hooperre Did I even finish a carbon light theme? LOL. It's basically Luminous. I didn't know even a single person used it. Haha.

hooperre

@Rookervik Oh. I thought it was Luminous under a different name. Haha. My bad.
